(collectively, the "

Canaccord Genuity Corp. and Red Cloud Securities
Inc. acted as finders (each, a "Finder") in
connection with the Offering. In consideration for acting as a
Finder in connection with the Offering, the Corporation paid an
aggregate of $3,000 in cash finder's fees to the Finders,
representing 6% of the gross proceeds of the Traditional
Flow-Through Shares that were sold to subscribers introduced by
such parties, and issued an aggregate of 24,000 non-transferable
warrants (the "Finder's Warrants") to purchase
common shares in the capital of the Corporation (the

Warrant being exercisable for one Finder's Warrant Share at a price
of $0.105 per Finder's Warrant Share until September 26, 2026.
The net proceeds from the sale of the Common
Shares will be used for exploration and development activities,
feasibility study work, permitting activities and for working
capital and general corporate purposes. The Corporation will use an
amount equal to the gross proceeds received by the Corporation from
the sale of the Flow-Through Shares, pursuant to the provisions in
the Income Tax Act (Canada), to incur, directly or indirectly, on
or before December 31, 2025, expenses ("Qualifying
Expenditures") related to the Corporation's projects in
Québec that are eligible "Canadian exploration expenses" (as
defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada)), which will qualify as
"flow-through critical mineral mining expenditures" (as defined in
the Income Tax Act (Canada)), and renounce all the Qualifying
Expenditures in favour of the applicable subscribers of the
Flow-Through Shares effective December 31, 2024. In addition, with
respect to subscribers who are eligible individuals under the

qualify for inclusion in the "exploration base relating to certain
Québec exploration expenses" within the meaning of section 726.4.10
of the Taxation Act (Québec) and for inclusion in the "exploration
base relating to certain Québec surface mining exploration
expenses" within the meaning of section 726.4.17.2 of the Taxation
Act (Québec).
Ocean Partners UK Limited ("Ocean
Partners"), an insider of the Corporation, and funds
managed by Equinox Partners Investment Management, LLC
("Equinox Partners"), an insider of the
Corporation, subscribed for 7,719,047 Common Shares and 7,719,048
Common Shares, respectively, under the Offering on the same terms
as arm's length investors. Additionally, the Corporation
understands that Ocean Partners and funds managed by Equinox
Partners were each party to an arrangement with the initial
subscribers of the Charitable Flow-Through Shares or donees
thereof, pursuant to which Ocean Partners and funds managed by
Equinox Partners each purchased 5,750,000 common shares in the
capital of the Corporation. The participation of Ocean Partners and
Equinox Partners in the Offering constitutes a "related party
transaction" for the purposes of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 –
Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions
("MI 61-101"). The Corporation is exempt from the
requirements to obtain a formal valuation or minority shareholder
approval in connection with the Offering in reliance on sections
5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a), respectively, of MI 61-101, as neither the
fair market value of the securities issued to the related parties
nor the fair market value of the consideration for the securities
issued to the related parties exceeds 25% of the Corporation's
market capitalization as calculated in accordance with MI 61-101.
The Corporation did not file a material change report more than 21
days before the expected closing date of the Offering as the
aforementioned insider participation had not been confirmed at that
time and the Corporation wished to close the Offering as
expeditiously as possible.
The Offering was made by way of private
placement in each of the provinces of Canada pursuant to applicable
exemptions from the prospectus requirements and, in the case of the
Common Shares, in certain other jurisdictions, in each case in
accordance with all applicable laws. The Offering of the Common
Shares was conducted on a private placement basis to persons in the
United States who are "accredited investors", as such term is
defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D ("Regulation
D") under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), and in
compliance with Rule 506(b) of Regulation D and applicable United
States securities laws. The securities issued under the Offering
are subject to a four month hold period under applicable Canadian
securities laws which will expire on January 27, 2025. The Offering
is subject to final acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.
The securities offered have not been, nor will
they be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act or any state
securities law, and may not be offered, sold or delivered, directly
or indirectly, within the United States, or to or for the account
or benefit of U.S. persons, absent registration or an exemption
from such registration requirements. This news release does not
constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy
nor shall there be any sale of securities in any state in the
United States in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be
unlawful.
