The Offering involved the issue of 17,828,945 units (the "Units") at a price of $0.045 per Unit for gross proceeds to the Company of $802,303. Each Unit consisted of one common share of the Company and one common share purchase warrant, with each warrant entitling the holder to acquire one common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.07 until May 5, 2027. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Offering to finance further exploration at Mina Callanquitas and for working capital.

In connection with the Offering, the Company issued an aggregate of 572,096 units (the "Finder's Units") to arm's length finders of the Company in consideration for the finders locating purchasers to participate in the Offering. Each Finder's Unit consisted of one common share of the Company and one non-transferable common share purchase warrant, with each warrant entitling the holder to acquire one common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.07 until May 5, 2027. No cash payments were paid to the finders.

The securities issued under the Offering are subject to a four-month hold period expiring on September 6, 2025 under applicable Canadian securities laws and the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"). The Offering is subject to the final approval of the TSXV.

Brian Imrie, Executive Chairman and director of the Company, JAT Metconsult Ltd., a company controlled by John Thomas the Interim Chief Executive Officer and director of the Company, and Real Green Corp., a company controlled by Pompeyo Gallardo the Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary of the Company, participated in the Offering by subscribing for 555,556 Units, 2,222,222 Units and 2,222,222 Units, respectively, which constituted a related party transaction pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). There has not been a material change in the percentage of the outstanding securities of the Company that are owned by Mr. Imrie, Dr. Thomas or Mr. Gallardo as a result of their participation in the Offering. The Company is exempt from the requirements to obtain a formal valuation and minority shareholder approval in connection with the participation of the insiders in the Offering in reliance on the exemptions contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, respectively, as the fair market value of the insider participation does not exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization as determined in accordance with MI 61-101. The Company obtained approval by the board of directors of the Company to the Offering, with Mr. Imrie and Dr. Thomas declaring and abstaining from voting on the resolutions approving the Offering with respect to their participation in the Offering. No materially contrary view or abstention was expressed or made by any director of the Company in relation thereto. The Company did not file a material change report less than 21 days before the expected closing date of the Offering as the insider participation was not settled until shortly prior to closing and the Company wished to close on an expedited basis for sound business reasons.
