Star Metro - BeMetals Closes Upsized Flow-Through Financing

BeMetals Interim CEO, Kristen Reinertson commented, "We're very pleased with the steady progress at the Savant Gold Project. Initial reconnaissance mapping and sampling has recently been completed, and we plan to commence a high-resolution airborne magnetics survey as part of the current exploration program this Fall. These programs, together with a follow-up exploration campaign in spring 2026, are expected to refine and prioritize prospective areas across the property and help generate high-quality targets for future drilling."

The gross proceeds from the FT Shares will be used to incur eligible "Canadian exploration expenses" related to the Company's mineral project in Ontario that qualify as "flow-through mining expenditures" as both terms are defined in the Tax Act (the "Qualifying Expenditures"). Such Qualifying Expenditures will be incurred on or before December 31, 2026, and renounced to the benefit of subscribers with an effective date no later than December 31, 2025.

The securities issued pursuant to the Private Placement are subject to a hold period under applicable Canadian securities laws expiring on February 25, 2026. In connection with the Private Placement, the Company has paid cash finder's fees in the amount of $31,165 to Haywood Securities Inc., $6,976 to Eskar Capital Corporation and $1,680 to Ventum Financial Corp. in respect of certain sales under the Private Placement.

Certain directors of the Company subscribed for 1,785,000 FT Shares for gross proceeds of $124,950 as part of the Private Placement. Due to the participation by directors of the Company, a portion of the Private Placement constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company is relying on the exemption from the requirement to obtain a formal valuation for the private placement based on section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101 and the exemption from the requirement to obtain minority shareholder approved based on section 5.7(1)(b) of MI 61-101.
