Private Placement Update

As an update to the private placement (the "Private Placement") announced October 1, 2024, the Private Placement will be conducted pursuant to available prospectus exemptions including sales to accredited investors, family members, close friends and business associates of directors and officers of the Company, and to purchasers who have obtained suitability advice from a registered investment dealer pursuant to the exemption set out in BC Instrument 45-536 - Exemption from Prospectus Requirement for Certain Distributions Through an Investment Dealer (the "Investment Dealer Exemption").

There is no minimum offering size and the maximum offering is 15,000,000 units for gross proceeds of $3,000,000. Assuming the Private Placement is fully subscribed, the Company plans to allocate the gross proceeds of the Private Placement to: (i) exploration activities at its two Nevada-based projects, the Cuprite Gold Project and the newly-acquired Hercules Gold Project and (ii) general working capital purposes.

If the Private Placement is not fully subscribed, the Company will apply the proceeds to the above uses in priority and in such proportions as the directors and management of the Company determine is in the best interests of the Company. Although the Company intends to use the proceeds of the Private Placement as described above, the actual allocation of proceeds may vary from the uses set out above depending on future operations, events or opportunities.

If the Private Placement is over-subscribed, subscriptions will be accepted at the discretion of the Company; therefore, it is possible that a subscriber's subscription may not be accepted by the Company even though it is received within the Private Placement period unless the Company determines to increase the size of the Private Placement.

In accordance with the requirements of the Investment Dealer Exemption, the Company confirms there is no material fact or material change related to the Company which has not been generally disclosed.
