Aton Announces US$30M Credit Facility with OU Moonrider

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / September 1, 2026 / Aton Resources Inc. (AAN:TSX-V) ("Aton" or the "Company") announces that it has entered into an agreement with shareholder OU Moonrider ("Moonrider") to borrow up to US$30M from Moonrider (the "Facility"). The Facility may be drawn in one or more advances and matures on September 1, 2028. Amounts drawn under the Facility bear interest at a rate of 12 percent per annum. Any part of the principal and accrued but unpaid interest not repaid on maturity shall thereafter incur interest at 20% per annum until paid.

Text size:

Amounts drawn under the Facility are unsecured and are not convertible into equity securities of the Company. Neither the principal nor any interest payable in respect of the Facility may be paid in equity securities of the Company. No bonus shares or warrants are issuable in connection with the Facility or any amounts drawn thereunder.

Moonrider is a control person of Aton, holding 89,701,789 common shares of Aton representing approximately 66.4% of Aton's 135,073,461 outstanding common shares. The Facility is a "related party transaction" as defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101") and Policy 5.9 of the TSX Venture Exchange, and subject to the valuation and minority approval requirements of MI 61-101 and Policy 5.9 in the absence of exemptions from such requirements. The Facility is exempt from these valuation requirements under the exemption contained in section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101 (Issuer Not Listed on Specified Markets) and from the minority approval requirements under the exemption contained in section 5.7(f) of MI 61-101 (Loan to Issuer, No Equity or Voting Component).

The Facility was approved by Aton's board of directors, with Moonrider nominee Tonno Vahk abstaining from voting. The Aton board concluded that the Facility is on reasonable commercial terms that are not less advantageous to the Company than if the Facility were obtained from a person dealing at arm's length with the Company.

Amounts drawn under the Facility will be applied to further exploration and development activities at Aton's Hamama project and to general and administrative expenses.
