Concurrent Financing

On October 26, 2023, as a condition to the completion of the Transaction, North Shore closed a private placement financing (the "Concurrent Financing") pursuant to which it raised aggregate gross proceeds of $2,329,268.80 through the issuance of 7,530,660 non-flow-through subscription receipts (each, a "NFT Subscription Receipt") at a price of $0.30 per NFT Subscription Receipt, and 200,000 flow-through subscription receipts (each, a "FT Subscription Receipt", together with the NFT Subscription Receipts, the "Subscription Receipts") at a price of $0.35 per FT Subscription Receipt. The Subscription Receipts were issued pursuant to a subscription receipt agreement ("Subscription Receipt Agreement") entered into by North Shore and Odyssey Trust Company (the "Subscription Receipt Agent"), as both subscription receipt agent and escrow agent. All gross proceeds from the Concurrent Financing that were paid to North Shore as of the closing (the "Concurrent Financing Closing") of the Concurrent Financing (less any proceeds used by North Shore to pay cash finder's fees) (the "Escrowed Funds") were deposited into escrow with the Subscription Receipt Agent pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Receipt Agreement. Immediately prior to the closing of the Transaction, each Subscription Receipt was automatically converted into one common share of North Shore (each, a "North Shore Share"), and on closing of the Transaction, each North Shore Share was exchanged for one common share of the Company (a "Resulting Issuer Share") pursuant to the terms of the share exchange agreement dated December 19, 2022, as amended on March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023, and August 18, 2023, entered into among the Company, North Shore, and the shareholders of North Shore. North Shore also paid aggregate cash finder's fees of $64,704.90 and issued 210,014 finder's warrants (each a "North Shore Finder's Warrant") to certain arm's length finders in connection with the Concurrent Financing. Each North Shore Finder's Warrant was exchanged in connection with the Transaction for a finder's warrant of the Company (a "Resulting Issuer Finder's Warrant"), and each Resulting Issuer Finder's Warrant is exercisable to acquire one common share of the Company (each, a "Resulting Issuer Finder's Warrant Share") at a price of $0.30 per Resulting Issuer Finder's Warrant Share for a period of 24 months from the date of the Concurrent Financing Closing.

Mr. Brooke Clements, who was appointed as the President, Chief Executive Officer, VP Exploration, and a director of the Company today, subscribed for 80,000 NFT Subscription Receipts for proceeds of $24,000, representing approximately 1.03% of the gross proceeds of the Concurrent Financing.

None of the proceeds from the Concurrent Financing are allocated to pay compensation to or settle indebtedness owing to principals of the Company. The participation in the Concurrent Financing by Messrs. Clements, Arthur and Thom constitute related party transactions pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101").
