The calculations and returns have been prepared by management and are believed to be accurate but not guaranteed. The returns are based on actual results from the Maple Leaf Critical Minerals 2025 Enhanced Flow-Through LP National Class units at the time of roll-over. The returns are calculated off At-Risk Capital. At-Risk Capital (1) (money at risk) is capital generally calculated as the total investment plus undistributed income less all anticipated income tax savings from CEE and Issue Cost (2027-2030) deductions and CMETC and METC tax credits and provincial tax credits. National Returns assume investors are taxed at a 50% tax rate and recapture tax is paid on both CMETC and METC at 50%.

Returns for the Quebec LP assume investors are taxed at the highest marginal tax rate in the applicable province and recapture tax is paid on both CMETC and METC at the highest marginal rate. Calculations are net of all capital gains taxes payable on disposition of the mutual fund. For Québec investors, it is assumed that the resource-property disposition qualifies for the grandfathered treatment, and that the additional provincial capital-gains exemption continues to apply to this transaction.
