RC Drilling at the Boin Gold Deposit

KBRC395, KBRC396, KBRC404 and KBRC411 to KBRC414 (7 RC holes totalling 960 m) were completed at Boin, targeting shallow mineralization within the central portion of the deposit. The goal of this drilling was reserve conversion for future mine plan optimization, with a focus on converting higher-grade portions of the deposit. Drilling was designed to improve geological confidence and confirm grade continuity, supporting future reserve and resource updates. This drilling focused on targeting oxidized and shallow fresh mineralization, and reached a maximum vertical depth of 125 metres. The holes reported in this news release were distributed across 5 separate sections spread along a 1.9 km strike length.

The drilling reported in this news release targeted the central portion of the Boin Gold Deposit. Hole KBRC411 intersected a wide, high-grade, gold mineralized zone with 2.59 g/t Au over 69.0 m from 58 m, including 6.41 g/t Au over 24.0 m from 59 m. This is one of the widest and highest grade-thickness intercepts encountered to date at Boin. This hole was drilled in an area of known mineralization with a goal of better defining the higher-grade targets at Enchi, highlighting the potential for future mine plan optimization. Hole KBRC414, collared 100 metres south of KBRC411, also encountered a wide zone of mineralization with 0.83 g/t Au over 32.0 m from 70 m, including a higher-grade interval of 3.37 g/t Au over 6.0 m from 84 m. Hole KBRC404, located 500 metres south of KBRC411, intersected 0.68 g/t Au over 22.0 m from 70 m, including 1.64 g/t Au over 7.0 m from 72 m.

RC drilling completed at Boin continues to intersect mineralization above the reserve and resource grade and continues to confirm continuity along strike and down dip, defining and extending the principal structures which comprise the Boin Gold Deposit.

Enchi Work Program

An 80,000 metre drill program is underway at Enchi. The drill program is focused on resource conversion, resource growth and discovery. RC drilling is targeting near-surface mineralization (oxide, transition, and shallow fresh mineralization) focused on resource conversion and continuing to define the potential for reserve and resource growth along strike at existing deposits. Diamond drilling is targeting the high-grade potential at depth. The completed first phase of the drill program was infill drilling for resource conversion, with only the first 28,000 metres of the drill program incorporated into an updated Mineral Resource Estimate announced on March 18, 2026 that formed the basis for a Pre-Feasibility Study ("PFS"). All deposit areas and pre-resource targets at Enchi remain open along strike and at depth, providing for future resource growth across the district-scale property.

Development work continues at Enchi, in support of project advancement, including metallurgical testwork, hydrogeological testing, geotechnical work, and environmental work. A Pre-Feasibility Study was completed in June 2026 (see news release dated June 24, 2026), outlining a base case assessment of developing an open pit, standard milling and carbon-in-leach operation using contract mining and processing 5.5 Mtpa. Recent drilling completed at Enchi has highlighted potential for resource growth, with high-grade encountered at depth and mineralization delineated below the pits that constrain the current Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource Estimates. Drill results reported in 2026 have not been included in the Mineral Resource Estimate and PFS.

Boin Gold Deposit

Boin is one of the four deposits which comprise the Mineral Reserve Estimate and Mineral Resource Estimate at Enchi (Boin has a Probable Mineral Reserve of 15.9 million tonnes grading 0.84 g/t Au containing 429,000 ounces; an Indicated Mineral Resource of 23.5 million tonnes grading 0.73 g/t Au containing 550,000 ounces; and an Inferred Mineral Resource of
9.2 million tonnes grading 0.60 g/t Au containing 178,000 ounces). Boin is located 10 kilometres south of the town of Enchi, with nearby roads and power and further access provided by a series of drill roads. Boin is outlined on surface by a greater than six-kilometre-long by up to one-kilometre-wide gold in soil anomaly. An airborne geophysical anomaly coincident with the Boin structure extends for a further kilometre north and three kilometres south beyond the limits of current drilling. To date, approximately 40% of the gold-in-soil anomaly at Boin is untested by drilling, with the average vertical depth of all holes drilled to date at Boin only down to 100 metres.

DISA Uranium Corporation

DISA Uranium is a new, well-capitalized American uranium production platform pursuing a supply chain growth strategy across conventional uranium production, remediation and recovery, and future domestic processing. Concurrent with its recently completed transaction with IsoEnergy Ltd. (“IsoEnergy”), DISA Uranium closed a US$105 million private placement financing backed by leading mining, energy and technology investors, including Tembo Capital, BHP Ventures, Galvanize Climate Solutions, Valor Equity Partners, Evok Innovations, Halliburton Labs and Veriten. Its portfolio includes the permitted, past-producing Tony M, Daneros and Rim mines and the Sage Plain and Flatiron projects in Utah, complemented by its proprietary HPSA technology and NRC-licensed abandoned uranium mine remediation and recovery platform.

Highlights

• Unlocks Value While Retaining Upside: PUR will receive US$2,000,000 in DISA Uranium Shares, together with an equal number of warrants, monetizing its non-core Colorado assets while retaining exposure to their future development and gaining participation in the growth of DISA Uranium’s broader U.S. uranium platform.

• Strategic Investment in PUR at a Significant Premium: DISA Uranium will make a concurrent Equity Investment in PUR at C$0.75 per Subscription Receipt, reflecting a 41.5% premium to the last close of PUR shares, resulting in an approximately 8.7% ownership interest and providing additional capital to advance PUR’s core portfolio. Subject to maintaining a specified ownership threshold, DISA Uranium will receive customary participation rights and the right to nominate one director to PUR’s Board of Directors. Greyson Buckingham, CEO of DISA Uranium is expected to join PUR’s Board upon closing.

• Exposure to a Well-Capitalized U.S. Uranium Platform: Through PUR’s equity position in DISA Uranium, PUR shareholders will gain exposure to a well-capitalized U.S. uranium platform backed by US$105 million of financing and leading mining, energy and technology investors, with conventional uranium assets, proprietary recovery technology and an NRC-licensed remediation business.

• Strategic Relationship Could Unlock New Development Options for Cebolleta: Given the nature of Cebolleta’s sandstone-hosted uranium mineralization, PUR believes that the project could be well suited to benefit from DISA Uranium’s HPSA technology. The technology has the potential to increase grade by rejecting waste mass prior to downstream processing which could unlock operating and processing scenarios not previously considered for Cebolleta, including opportunities to simplify processing and reduce mine-site infrastructure. Together with DISA Uranium’s planned regional processing capacity, this could provide PUR with additional development pathways to evaluate as it continues to advance and optimize Cebolleta.

• Disciplined Portfolio Strategy: The Transaction further focuses PUR’s portfolio and capital allocation on advancing the Cebolleta, Kaycee and Cyclone projects, supporting the Company’s strategy to build value through the exploration, advancement and optimization of its core U.S. uranium assets.

Colin Healey, CEO and Director of PUR commented, “This Transaction once again demonstrates our ability to execute on PUR’s strategy of disciplined capital allocation. By monetizing our non-core Colorado assets, we are unlocking value while retaining meaningful exposure to their future potential through our equity position in DISA Uranium. At the same time, DISA Uranium’s strategic investment in PUR at a premium provides additional capital to support our core portfolio and creates strong alignment between our companies.

We believe DISA Uranium is building a differentiated U.S. uranium platform, and we are pleased to participate in its future growth while maintaining our focus on advancing Cebolleta, Kaycee and Cyclone. The relationship also creates potential strategic opportunities for Cebolleta, including the evaluation of DISA Uranium’s HPSA technology and future regional processing capacity, which could provide additional development pathways as we continue to advance and optimize the project.”

Greyson Buckingham, CEO of DISA Uranium commented, “Our investment in PUR extends the relationship beyond the Colorado Portfolio and gives DISA Uranium a direct interest in PUR’s continued growth. Together, the investment and Board position create long-term alignment between the companies and a foundation to explore future opportunities across PUR’s broader U.S. portfolio, including where our technology and planned processing capabilities may add value. I look forward to joining PUR’s Board and contributing to its next stage of development.”

• The Company sold 593,255 pounds (lbs) of U₃O₈, generating revenue of $51.0 million at an average realized price of approximately $86.00/lb. This was slightly above the average of the UxC Historical Ux Daily Prices published from May 1 through July 31, 2026, of $85.45/lb. The related cost of sales was $34.1 million, or approximately $57.40/lb. The proceeds from these sales were used, in part, to finance the Company’s Sweetwater acquisition in July 2026. This highlights the value of the Company’s physical uranium strategy, demonstrating the ability to monetize holdings to fund accretive transactions and support continued growth.
• Net income increased by 1530% to $16.3 million for the three months ended July 31, 2026, compared to $1.0 million for the three months ended July 31, 2025.
• Diluted earnings per share increased by 900% to $0.10 for the three months ended July 31, 2026, compared to $0.01 for the same period in 2025.

First Quarter Operational Highlights

• Completed landmark Sweetwater transaction, creating a leading diversified royalty platform: The successful completion of the Sweetwater transaction materially enhanced the Company’s scale and long-term cash flow profile. The Company now holds one of the largest land positions in the U.S., positioning it to accelerate uranium-focused growth, while unlocking long-term optionality across critical minerals, energy and industrial development.
• Operator momentum supports uranium royalty portfolio outlook: Key counterparties have largely maintained production guidance across core assets. Cameco Corporation (“Cameco”) reiterated its 2026 production guidance at both Cigar Lake (17.5-18.0 million lbs, unchanged despite temporary disruptions) and McArthur River/Key Lake (14.0-16.5 million lbs, maintained), while Paladin Energy Ltd. ("Paladin") announced that Langer Heinrich exceeded its production guidance for its fiscal year 2026 (4.82 million lbs vs guidance of 4.5-4.8 million lbs) and outlined further growth into 2027.⁽¹⁾ Collectively, this underscores the resilient operating performance and expected positive growth for the Company’s portfolio.
• Soda ash production underpinned by low-cost operator positioning: Operators across the Company’s Wyoming-based soda ash assets continue to demonstrate resilient performance and expansion potential. While the global soda ash industry continues to face macro headwinds, the Company’s royalty portfolio is concentrated with operators positioned at the lower end of the global cost curve. As a result, production across the Company’s assets has remained relatively stable, with cost advantages supporting continued operations and planned expansions.
• Unlocking additional value from Sweetwater land holdings: Approximately 38,000 acres were leased, with active exploration work being conducted to assess oil and gas potential. Acreage is located near established oil and gas production. UROY’s total land position (surface and minerals) exceeds 5.3 million acres, making the Company the largest landowner in Wyoming and the second largest publicly traded landowner in the United States. The scale and location of these holdings provide meaningful long-term potential to unlock additional value through oil and gas, critical minerals and other development opportunities.

Scott Melbye, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated:

“The successful completion of the Sweetwater transaction marked a defining milestone for the Company, transforming us into the largest American publicly traded non-precious metal royalty and streaming platform with a strong long-term cash flow profile and one of the largest strategic land positions in the United States.

At the same time, we remain the only uranium-focused royalty company. By monetizing physical uranium at a realized price above the market average, we funded the Sweetwater acquisition while delivering record net income of $16.3 million, and our uranium royalty counterparties, including Cameco at McArthur River and Cigar Lake, have largely maintained production guidance, reinforcing the stability and visibility of our core portfolio.

Across our soda ash assets, all in Wyoming, our exposure to operators at the lower end of the global cost curve continues to underpin resilient production and durable cash flow from domestic industrial supply chains.

Our land position adds further optionality. The lease of approximately 38,000 acres prospective for oil and gas development is a first example of the value these holdings can unlock across critical minerals and energy.

We believe this combination of long-term cash flow, high-quality counterparties and strategic land provides a strong foundation for sustained growth and value creation."

“While the drilling in and around Sapuchi continues to report very strong results, we are excited to announce the initial assays from step out holes well outside the resource boundary” says Jonathan Egilo, President & CEO. “We are excited to follow up on these initial results at the new Luz del Cobre target. Ongoing drilling is being done both in and around the Luz del Cobre historical pit, in addition to testing the wide gap zone that sits between Luz del Cobre and Sapuchi.”

San Antonio Drill Results

The Company is reporting the results of 29 holes, which represents approximately 5,000 metres of drilling. Today’s results are from the first resource growth and step out drilling performed by Axo since its acquisition of the San Antonio project earlier this year. The step out drilling is in the Luz del Cobre area and has seen strong gold mineralization directly from surface. Standout hole SOSAP-26-048, which returned 46.5 metres grading 1.43gpt Au of oxide mineralization directly from surface, was collared approximately 750 metres outside the Sapuchi resource boundary, to the east.

The Company is also reporting additional drilling from within and around the Sapuchi resource. Axo is considering Sapuchi as a potential starter-pit due to its high-grade oxide resources, and favourable topography. The goal of the Sapuchi drill program is to target opportunities to convert areas within the block model that were previously considered as waste, in addition to upgrading resource confidence. There are currently three drill rigs operating at San Antonio.

Highlights from the results include:

• Hole SOSAP-26-048 which reported the first 46.5 metres drilled directly from surface grading 1.43gpt Au of oxide. The hole was collared well outside the existing resource, ~750 metres to the east of the Sapuchi deposit at the Luz del Cobre target.

• Hole SOSAP-26-039 which assayed 15g/t Au over 18.0 metres from only 18 metres down the hole at Sapuchi. The interval is entirely oxide mineralization.

• Hole SOSAP-26-027 which assayed 16g/t Au over 47.1 metres from 13 metres down the hole at Sapuchi, the majority of which was oxides before moving to transition material near the bottom of the interval.

• Hole SOSAP-26-025 which assayed 87g/t Au over 75.0 metres from surface at Sapuchi, the majority of which was oxides.

• Hole SOSAP-26-028 which assayed 20g/t Au over 49.7 metres from 79 metres down the hole at Sapuchi.

Figure 2 below shows a cross section through the Luz del Cobre pit, and the gap area separating Luz del Cobre and the Sapuchi resource pit. The Luz del Cobre historical pit was operated from 2011 to 2018 and solely focused on the mining of copper oxide, with 2.8Mt of copper oxide ore mined in that time period. Axo developed a thesis that the Luz del Cobre area had a gold mineralizing event, separate from the copper mineralizing event, and began drilling the area to test for gold prospectivity. Initial results are highly encouraging. All drilling in the Luz del Cobre area and the gap zone between Luz del Cobre and Sapuchi is outside current resources and provides resource upside.

At the base of the historical Luz del Cobre pit, results are highlighted by hole SOSAP-26-048, which returned 46.5 metres grading 1.43gpt Au from surface. The Company has since been drilling up the Luz del Cobre highwall, stepping closer towards Sapuchi. Hole SOSAP-26-080 was collared roughly 380 metres west of hole SOSAP-26-048. While assays remain outstanding, the Company notes that hole SOSAP-26-080 has intercepted hydrothermal breccia, consistent with the rock type that hosts gold mineralization at Luz del Cobre. Mineralized hydrothermal breccia has also been observed in trenches that the Company has made in the west highwall of the Luz del Cobre pit. Trenching results have been strong, highlighted by 20.7m grading 1.08gpt Au.

The Company’s field sampling exploration work has been able to benefit from an on-site laboratory which was originally installed when San Antonio was in production. This has allowed for target generation work including grab samples and trench samples to be processed on site, while all drilling will continue to be assayed by a third-party lab. Thus, trenching results are indicative but preliminary, and have not yet been verified by an independent, certified commercial laboratory. See QAQC section for more details.

Axo is continuing with subsequent drilling in the base of the historical Luz del Cobre pit, as well as within the Sapuchi-Luz del Cobre gap.

About Axo Metals

Axo Metals Corp. is a Canadian mineral exploration company engaged in the exploration and development in Mexico. The Company holds two projects. The San Antonio project is located in the state of Sonora, and is in advanced development. Total resources at San Antonio stand at 576koz Au and 1.37moz Ag grading 1.20 g/t Au and 2.9g/t Ag in the Indicated category, with 544koz Au and 1.76moz Ag grading 1.02 g/t Au and 3.3g/t Ag in the Inferred category across all deposit types (oxide, transition and sulphide). Axo’s second project is the La Huerta property, a new copper discovery in Jalisco, Mexico. Initial exploration has yielded high-grade copper both at surface through sampling programs, and at depth through initial drilling. The Company is focused on continuing to define near-surface mineralization along the La Huerta Trend, expanding mineralization at depth, and targeting new discoveries in an underexplored district.

Procedure, Quality Assurance / Quality Control and Data Verification 

The diamond drill core (HQ size) is geologically logged, photographed and marked for sampling. When the sample lengths are determined, the full drill core is sawn with a diamond blade drill core saw with one half of the drill core being bagged and tagged for assay. The remaining half portion is returned to the drill core trays for storage and/or for metallurgical test work.

The sealed and tagged drill core sample bags are transported to the ALS Chemex facilities in Querétaro and Zacatecas, Mexico. ALS Chemex crushes the samples and prepares 200-300 gram pulp samples with ninety percent passing Tyler 150 mesh (106 μm). Copper and multi-element analysis is completed using total digestion (Code ME-ICP61 Total Digestion ICP). Over limits greater than 10,000 grams per tonne copper are assayed using Cu-OG62.

Quality assurance and quality control ("QA/QC") procedures monitor the chain-of-custody of the samples and include the systematic insertion and monitoring of appropriate reference materials (certified reference materials, blanks and duplicates) into the sample strings. The results of the assaying of the QA/QC material included in each batch are tracked to ensure the integrity of the assay data.  All results stated in this announcement have passed Axo’s QA/QC protocols.

Grab and trench exploration samples are geologically logged, photographed and marked for sampling and processing in the Company’s on-site laboratory. The sealed and tagged sample bags are transported to the San Antonio On Site Laboratory, in San Antonio de La Huerta, Sonora. Initially, the sample undergoes primary size reduction using a jaw crusher to a nominal particle size of 1/2 inch. The crushed material is subsequently homogenized and split using a riffle splitter. Once completely dry, the sample is pulverized with ninety percent passing 200 mesh. The prepared pulp is subsequently processed by 30g fire assay. The resulting doré bead is then dissolved by acid digestion using aqua regia. The resulting solution is diluted to the appropriate volume and analyzed by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) to determine the gold concentration in the sample. Quality assurance and quality control ("QA/QC") procedures monitor the chain-of-custody of the samples and include the systematic insertion and monitoring of appropriate reference materials (certified reference materials, blanks and duplicates) into the sample strings. Results are preliminary and have not yet been verified by an independent, certified commercial laboratory.

Osisko Gold Group Inc. (NYSE: OGG, TSXV: OGG) ("Osisko Gold" or the "Company") – https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/osisko-gold-group-inc/ – is pleased to announce that its Board of Directors has made a formal positive decision to proceed with the construction of the Company’s 100%-owned Cariboo Gold Project ("Cariboo" or the "Project"), located in central British Columbia, Canada.

Sean Roosen, Chairman and CEO, commented: "The Board’s formal positive decision to commence full-scale construction of our flagship Cariboo Gold Project represents a defining milestone for Osisko Gold and a pivotal inflection point toward our objective of becoming an intermediate gold producer. This decision is a culmination of more than a decade of de-risking work on the Project, from early exploration when the first drills hit the ground in 2015, through permitting and technical studies, and into project financing and pre-construction. It reflects our confidence in the significant long-term value Cariboo can deliver to our shareholders and other stakeholders, and in the transformational impact it can have on the future of Osisko Gold. I’d like to commend our talented team for their professionalism, dedication and extensive contributions over the years that have brought us to this important milestone."

"With this step forward, supported by our strong balance sheet position and other sources of available and proposed funding, our focus is now firmly on disciplined project execution toward first gold in early 2029. Based on an estimated remaining go-forward capital obligation of C$990 million and spot gold prices of US$4,350/oz, the Project demonstrates robust economics with after-tax NPV5% of C$3.2 billion, after-tax IRR of 42.7%, and average annual free cash flow of C$642 million in the first 5 years, underscoring its significant leverage to the gold price. Construction is expected to support 613 direct jobs at its peak, followed by 525 permanent jobs during operations, while generating substantial direct and indirect economic benefits for local communities and the Province of British Columbia. Bringing Cariboo through construction and into production represents only the first step in establishing a strong platform for the Company’s long-term growth strategy. In parallel, we continue to accelerate ongoing conversion drilling within the current deposit and advance exploration of the substantial potential at depth and along strike within the existing permit footprint, as well as across the broader Cariboo regional property. We look forward to providing further regular updates on our progress."

Project Go-Forward Capital Obligation Estimate Update

The Project’s remaining go-forward capital obligation is estimated at $990 million, net of approximately $272 million in costs incurred up to and including July 31, 2026, inclusive of contingency of approximately 16.5%, and assuming the leasing of major mining equipment of approximately $117 million. Relative to the initial cost estimate outlined in the 2025 Optimized Feasibility Study (as defined herein), the go-forward update reflects costs incurred to date, progress achieved on detailed engineering and the procurement of major contracts, updates to certain cost assumptions to account for market inflation due to passage of time and broader industry and labour trends, inclusion of costs related to a PCM contract, and the reclassification of certain expenditures previously included in operating costs, principally those associated with the construction of the transmission line. The update also reflects certain modifications to the construction schedule, resulting in an anticipated 30-month construction period from August 1, 2026 (from 24 months in the 2025 FS) to first gold pour in Q1 2029 and 36 months (from 34 months in the 2025 FS) to commercial production in H2 2029.

The estimated go-forward capital obligation is expected to be expended over the construction period set out below, based on an assumed USD:CAD exchange rate of C$1.38 per US$1.00. To mitigate financial exposures associated with the go-forward capital obligation, including currency and commodity risks, and to protect future operating cash flows, the Company may opportunistically contemplate entering into derivative contracts, such as put options.

The Project is designed as a conventional, decline-accessed underground mining operation employing mechanized long-hole stoping mining methods, with paste backfill, to extract ore from gold-bearing vein corridors. Underground access is currently provided through the Cow portal, with development extending into the Lowhee and Cow deposit Zones. At the mine site complex, earthworks have commenced on the second underground access at the Valley Portal. Once established, the Valley Portal will provide a second development front and support critical path primary development access to the Valley and Shaft Zones, which host the majority of the Cariboo Gold deposit’s mineral reserves and mineral resources.

Approximately 3.0 kilometres of underground development has been completed to date. Early works have already commenced during pre-construction, with preparatory activities advancing at the mine site complex, waste rock storage facility, sediment control pond and water treatment plant, among other areas. Major earthworks are scheduled to ramp-up in Q3 2026 and are expected to continue through Q4 2027, with the process plant foundations work commencing in the summer of 2027 and building enclosure targeted for Q2 2028. The expected timeline to commercial production, including key milestones and work areas, is outlined in Figure 1 below:

Trafigura Financing and Commercial Agreements

As part of the Board’s decision to approve a final investment decision ("FID"), the Company is pleased to announce that it and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Barkerville Gold Mines Ltd. ("Barkerville"), have entered into agreements (the "Trafigura Financing and Commercial Agreements") with Trafigura Canada Limited ("Trafigura") and Urion Investments Holdings Limited ("Urion"), an affiliate of Trafigura, that support the development of the Project.

The Trafigura Financing and Commercial Agreements comprises: (i) a subscription agreement between the Company and Urion pursuant to which Urion has agreed to acquire 9,554,141 common shares of the Company (each, a "Common Share") at a price of US$3.14 per Common Share (the "Issue Price"), representing a 10% premium to the five-day volume weighted average price of the Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange prior to signing, for gross proceeds of approximately US$30 million (the "Equity Investment"); (ii) offtake agreements between Barkerville and Trafigura for 100% of the (x) gold concentrate for the first four years of production at the Cariboo Gold Project (or until 80,000 dry metric tons of concentrate are delivered) and (y) gold doré for the first four years of production (together, the "Offtake Agreements"); and (iii) non-binding terms and an exclusivity period in respect of a potential subordinated gold prepayment facility and a further six-years of concentrate and doré offtake between Barkerville and Trafigura (the "Prepay Facility"). The proposed Prepay Facility, as currently contemplated, doesn’t provide for any financial maintenance covenants, with final terms remaining subject to the execution of a definitive agreement.

Sean Roosen further commented: “We are very pleased to welcome Trafigura, a global leader in the commodities industry, as a long-term strategic partner at Cariboo. Its strategic investment in the Company reflects confidence in both the Project and our team’s ability to execute on its construction. We look forward to advancing towards a definitive agreement on the prepay financing, which would provide a significant additional non-dilutive source of capital for the construction of Cariboo.”

The proceeds of the Equity Investment will be used for the development of the Cariboo Gold Project. The Common Shares to be issued under the Equity Investment will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws. Closing of the Equity Investment remains subject to final acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange.

In connection with the Equity Investment, Urion has also agreed to enter into a voting support agreement with the Company (the "Voting Support Agreement"), pursuant to which Urion will agree to vote its Common Shares in accordance with the recommendations of the board of directors or management of the Company, subject to certain exceptions. The Voting Support Agreement also contains customary standstill and lock-up provisions restricting Urion’s ability to acquire additional Common Shares or dispose of its Common Shares for specified periods.

The Offtake Agreements provide for the purchase by Trafigura of 100% of the gold concentrate and doré bars produced by Barkerville from the Cariboo Gold Project at prices that incorporate prevailing London Bullion Market Association and deductions including standard treatment and refining charges. Deliveries under the Offtake Agreements are expected to commence upon the start of first gold pour at the Cariboo Gold Project.

Barkerville and Trafigura have also agreed to non-binding terms in respect of a potential Prepay Facility of up to US$120 million and Trafigura has been granted an exclusivity period during which the parties will negotiate definitive documentation for such facility. There is no assurance that definitive documentation for the Prepay Facility will be entered into on the terms currently contemplated or at all. The non-binding terms contemplate that the Prepay Facility will be secured by a subordinated security interest against the assets of Barkerville. The facility is contemplated to be available to draw for three years from closing, with a maturity date that is at a minimum five years from closing at an interest rate of SOFR plus 6.00%.

Double Zero Capital LP ("Double Zero"), an existing insider of the Company, has pre-emptive rights under the investor rights agreement dated August 15, 2025, between Double Zero and the Company (the "Double Zero IRA") to participate in the Equity Investment on the same terms as Urion, subject to the terms and conditions of the Double Zero IRA. Double Zero is entitled to participate in the Equity Investment on the same terms as Urion in order to maintain its existing ownership percentage in the Company. As of the date hereof, Double Zero has not waived its pre-emptive rights under the Double Zero IRA.

Closing of the Equity Investment is expected to occur in September 2026, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including final acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange. The Equity Investment is not subject to any minimum subscription amount.

Sources and Uses of Capital

The Company intends to maintain a disciplined approach to capital allocation over the ensuing construction period, focused on preserving sufficient liquidity and financial flexibility through the Project’s construction, ramp-up and achievement of commercial production. The Company also intends to continue its infill and conversion drilling programs throughout the construction phase to further de-risk planned production areas by: (a) increasing geological confidence and definition of the existing measured and indicated mineral resources, and (b) supporting the upgrade of inferred mineral resources to higher confidence categories and, where appropriate, their potential conversion of such resources to mineral reserves after considering applicable modifying factors.

Table 3 summarizes the estimated sources and uses of capital from August 1, 2026 through to forecasted commercial production in H2 2029. Total sources of capital are estimated at approximately $1,637 million (US$1,186 million) and comprise current cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, and project debt, and are subject to the successful closing of the Equity Investment, the execution of the related definitive agreement in connection with the gold prepay facility, and certain assumptions in relation to equipment financing. Estimated uses of capital are estimated at approximately $1,435 million (US$1,040 million) and include the remaining go-forward capital obligation, working capital, exploration expenditures, debt service and financing costs, and other general corporate expenditures. This results in projected surplus liquidity of approximately $201 million (US$146 million).

Additional potential sources not reflected in the estimated sources above include proceeds, if any, from the exercise of certain outstanding warrants of the Company. Full exercise of such warrants would generate potential proceeds of approximately US$120 million from the warrants expiring in August 2027 with an exercise price of US$2.56 per Common Share, which are subject to an acceleration provision beginning in mid-November 2026, and approximately US$150 million from warrants expiring in October 2029 with an exercise price of US$3.00 per Common Share. The Company continues to actively evaluate opportunities to optimize its project debt structure and reduce its overall cost of capital. The exercise of Company warrants is entirely at the discretion of the holders thereof, and there can be no assurance that any or all of the Company warrants will be exercised or that the Company will receive any proceeds therefrom.

Summary of Project Metrics

In connection with the Project’s go-forward capital obligation update, the Company has adjusted, where applicable, certain financial inputs in the Cariboo Technical Report (as defined herein) to reflect the Project’s current status and the prevailing commodity price environment, which have an impact on project economics. As noted above, the update also reflects certain modifications to the construction schedule, resulting in an anticipated 30-month construction period from August 1, 2026 (from 24 months in the 2025 FS) to first gold pour in Q1 2029 and 36 months (from 34 months in the 2025 FS) to commercial production in H2 2029.

Except for these adjustments, the information contained in the Cariboo Technical Report (as defined herein) relating to geology and mineralization, mineral reserves and mineral resources, mining methods and mineral processing, together with all other material assumptions and qualifications, remains current and unchanged. A summary of Project metrics is presented in Table 4:

ABOUT THE CARIBOO GOLD PROJECT

The Cariboo Gold Project is a permitted, 100%-owned feasibility-stage project located in the historic Wells-Barkerville mining camp of central British Columbia, Canada. Spanning approximately 186,740 hectares, the Company’s land package includes 443 mineral titles and covers an area that extends approximately 77-kilometres from northwest to southeast. In late 2024, the Project was granted the Mines Act and Environmental Management Act (British Columbia) permits, marking the successful completion of the permitting process for key approvals, solidifying the Project’s shovel-ready status.

Mineral Reserves Estimate – Cariboo Gold Project

The mineral reserves estimate for the Cariboo Gold Project included in the Cariboo Technical Report (as defined herein) has an effective date of April 10, 2025. Only mineral resources that were classified as measured and indicated were given economic attributes in the mine design, and when demonstrating economic viability were classified as mineral reserves.

Mineral Resources Estimate – Cariboo Gold Project

The mineral resources estimate for the Cariboo Gold Project included in the Cariboo Technical Report (as defined herein) has an effective date of April 22, 2025, and is reported exclusive of mineral reserves. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The reader is cautioned that inferred mineral resources have a greater degree of uncertainty than indicated mineral resources and must not be converted to mineral reserves; it is reasonably expected, though not guaranteed, that the majority of inferred mineral resources could be upgraded to indicated mineral resources with continued exploration.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

This news release contains certain non-IFRS (as defined herein) financial measures, including "all-in sustaining cost" (or "AISC"), "cash cost", "free cash flow" and "adjusted working capital". All-in sustaining cost per gold ounce is defined as production costs less silver sales plus general and administrative, exploration and other expenses, and sustaining capital expenditures divided by gold ounces sold. Cash costs are a non-IFRS financial measure reported by the Company on an ounces of gold sold basis. Cash costs include mining, processing, refining, general and administrative costs and royalties but exclude depreciation, reclamation, income taxes, capital costs and exploration costs. Free cash flow is calculated as cash flow from mine-site operating activities less capital expenditures. Adjusted working capital is calculated as current assets less current liabilities, excluding the current portion of derivative assets, and including the current portion of derivative liabilities and warrant liabilities. Management believes that such measures provide investors with an improved ability to evaluate the performance of the Company. Non-IFRS financial measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS and, therefore, they may not be comparable to similar measures employed by other companies. These measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS, such as cost of sales. For non-IFRS financial measures related to the feasibility study for the Cariboo Gold Project refer to the Cariboo Technical Report (as defined herein).

About Banyan

Banyan’s primary asset, the AurMac Project, is located in the Traditional Territory of the First Nation of Na-Cho Nyäk Dun, in Canada’s Yukon Territory.  The AurMac Project comprises two main deposits, the Airstrip and Powerline Deposits. Mineralization is characteristic of a Reduced Intrusion Related Gold system, hosted in auriferous cross-cutting sheeted quartz veins and replacement style mineralization hosted in skarn horizons. The current Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) for the AurMac Project has an effective date of May 15, 2026 and comprises an Indicated Mineral Resource of 3.639 million ounces of gold (“Au“) (167.3 M tonnes at 0.68 g/t) and an Inferred Mineral Resource of 4.985 Moz of Au (267.2 M tonnes at 0.58 g/t) (See MRE Table below; as defined in the 2014 CIM Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves incorporated by reference into NI 43‑101). The 303 square kilometres (“sq km”) AurMac Project lies 40 kilometres from Mayo, Yukon. The AurMac Project is transected by the main Yukon highway and benefits from a 69 kVA 3-phase powerline, existing power substation and cell phone coverage.

In addition to the AurMac Project, the Company holds the Hyland Gold Project, located 70 km northeast of Watson Lake, Yukon, along the southeast end of the Tintina Gold Belt (the “Hyland Project”) in the Traditional Territory of the Kaska Nations, closest to the Liard First Nation and Daylu Dena Council.The Hyland Project represents a sediment hosted, structurally controlled, intrusion-related gold deposit, within a large land package (over 125 sq km), accessible by a network of existing gravel access roads. The updated MRE comprises an Indicated Mineral Resource of 337 thousand (“K”) ‎ounces (“oz”) of gold (“Au”) and 2.63 million (“M”) oz of silver (“Ag”) (11.3 M tonnes at 0.93 g/t Au and 7.27 g/t Ag), and an Inferred Mineral Resource of 118 Koz of Au and 0.86 Moz Ag (3.9 M tonnes at 0.95 g/t Au and 6.94 g/t Ag) (as defined in the 2014 CIM Definition ‎Standards for Mineral Resources & Mineral Reserves incorporated by reference into NI 43‑101) effective September 1, 2025 and with technical report filed on SEDAR+ on October 27, 2025.

Banyan also holds the Nitra Gold Project and Seattle-Goodman Creek Project which are grassroots exploration projects located in the Mayo Mining district, adjacent to the AurMac Gold Project. These properties lie in the northern part of the Selwyn Basin and are underlain by metaclastic rocks of the Late Proterozoic Yusezyu Formation of the Hyland Group, similar to lithologies hosting portions of the AurMac Project. Middle Cretaceous Tombstone Plutonic suite intrusions occur along the properties including the Morrison Creek and Minto Creek stocks. The properties are 100% owned by Banyan and cover over 227 sq km. The properties are accessible by road along the Silver Trail Highway, South McQuesten Road and a network of other smaller roads across the properties.

Notes to MRE Table:

1. The effective date for the MRE is May 15, 2026, the technical report is available for review on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.
2. The Mineral Resource Estimate was prepared by Marc Jutras, P.Eng., M.A.Sc., Principal, Ginto Consulting Inc., who is an independent Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101.
3. Mineral Resources which are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimate of Mineral Resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, sociopolitical, marketing, changes in global gold markets or other relevant issues.
4. The 2014 CIM Definition Standards were followed for classification of Mineral Resources. The quantity and grade of reported Inferred Mineral Resources in this estimation are uncertain in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define these Inferred Mineral Resources as an Indicated Mineral Resource. It is reasonably expected that the majority of Inferred Mineral Resources could be upgraded to Indicated Mineral Resources with continued exploration.
5. Mineral Resources are reported at a cut-off grade of 0.30 g/t gold for all deposits, using a US$/CAN$ exchange rate of 0.73 and constrained within an open pit shell optimized with the Lerchs-Grossman algorithm to constrain the Mineral Resources with the following estimated parameters: gold price of US$3,500/ounce, US$2.75/t mining cost, US$11.50/t processing cost, US$2.00/t G+A, 90% gold recoveries, and 45° pit slopes.
6. The number of tonnes was rounded to the nearest hundred thousand and ounces rounded to the nearest thousand. Any discrepancies in the totals are due to rounding effects.

Canada Nickel Company Inc. ("Canada Nickel" or the "Company") (TSX V:CNC) (OTCQB:CNIKF) – https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/canada-nickelcompany-inc/ – today announced that the Company has selected Komatsu, and their largest Canadian dealer, SMS Equipment to supply load and haul and associated support mining fleet to its Crawford Nickel Project (“Crawford”). The Company received comprehensive proposals from four equipment vendors and, after careful consideration across a wide range of criteria, selected Komatsu for its proven technologies in automation and electrification, which are aligned with the Company’s vision of safe, sustainable and low carbon production of critical minerals from Crawford.

Mark Selby, CEO of Canada Nickel said, "The selection of Komatsu and SMS Equipment to provide the load and haul mining and support fleet to Crawford marks a major step in the development of this project. I am very excited about the potential value that could be unlocked by applying Komatsu’s proven technologies, including DISPATCH for fleet management, and FrontRunner for autonomous haul trucks. Komatsu and SMS Equipment also have considerable experience implementing trolley-assisted truck haulage, which significantly reduces diesel fuel consumption and CO2 emissions while facilitating an easy transition to battery-powered electric vehicles which are anticipated to be available when the Company expects to begin production. We expect that SMS Equipment’s experience implementing these technologies at other Canadian operations and demonstrated commitment to our project can substantially de-risk the project start-up and ongoing operation. We look forward to continuing to advance Crawford towards a construction decision in 2027."

SMS Equipment’s President and CEO, Robin Heard stated, “We view Crawford as one of the most important new mining projects in Canada, and we are looking forward to partnering with Canada Nickel’s experienced team to execute their vision.”

The Company expects to complete negotiation of definitive agreements with SMS Equipment and Komatsu by the first quarter of 2027, along with fleet support agreements, and the previously announced fleet financing arrangements with Taykwa Tagamou Nation.

Springer historically was one of the largest tungsten mines in the United States, and consisting of open pit and underground mines, a 1,200 Tpd mill and an Ammonium Paratungstate (“APT”) plant capable of potentially producing up to 4,000 Tpa (collectively, the “Springer Project”). The facility is permitted for construction and received approval of its bonding requirements from the State of Nevada to start construction and redevelopment of the mine on August 20, 2026.

The facility is largely on fee lands, and contains a historical mineral resource from General Electric and Utah International Inc. of 10.7 MT of 0.45% WO₃ based on historical data and reports prepared by the prior operators in 1984, as well as access to water, electricity, natural gas and tailings capacity and is a few miles away from the Union Pacific rail-line and the I-80 highway. The Company has not completed the work necessary to have the historical mineral resource estimate verified by a QP. The Company is not treating the estimate as a current NI 43-101 defined resource and the historical resource estimate should not be relied upon. Further drilling this year and next year will be used to update the resource estimate, which will subsequently be reported in accordance with NI 43-101 standards. On September 3, 2026, Blue Moon acquired additional water rights and land to access the Union Pacific rail-line, with the potential to install a load-on/out facility.

Blue Moon has previously indicated the Springer mine and mill are expected to be back in production in Q4-2027, and the APT plant is expected to be restarted 2H-2028, which will be potentially the first material tungsten concentrate production in North America and a significant new source of APT for the U.S. market.

The contemplated transactions include: i) the formation of a joint venture entity (the “JV Entity”) among the Parties to own and operate the APT Plant (the mine and mill will remain owned by Blue Moon), (ii) an equity investment by TEG into Blue Moon, (iii) TEG’s receipt of board representation in both Blue Moon and the Springer Project JV Entity; (iv) a supply agreement for EQ and Blue Moon tungsten concentrate offtakes to the APT plant at market pricing, (v) a tungsten prepayment facility provided by TEG to Blue Moon to be repaid through a credit against sales of concentrate from Springer, and (vi) a site sharing agreement between Blue Moon and the JV Entity, covering the land, buildings, utilities, water, and services arrangements between the JV Entity and Blue Moon (collectively, the "Transactions").

The Transactions contemplate a total investment from TEG of approximately US$150 million, split between, (i) investments in Blue Moon’s activities at the Springer Site (the "Blue Moon Investment"); and (ii) a contribution to the JV Entity (the "JV Investment" and, together with the Blue Moon Investment, the "Project Investment"). An additional US$25 million has been set aside by TEG and EQ for additional standby requirements if needed to place the APT plant back in production.  All Parties involved are arms-length.

Collectively, these Transactions are all part of the broader TEG Landmark Initiative with the U.S. Department of War (the “DoW”) to Secure America’s Tungsten Supply Chain. The DoW has been supportive in advancing the Transactions, including completing a NEPA review of Springer.

Earlier today, the DoW announced a US$450 million investment into TEG, of which US$150 million has been designated as use of proceeds for the Transactions. This Transaction is intended to solidify the U.S. tungsten supply chain for primary supply to aerospace and defense contractors plus support for critical U.S. industrial segments such as Semiconductor, Energy, Medical and Industrial.

In relation to this Transaction, The Elmet Group has established Elmet Refining & Trading (ERT) as a new division.

Christian Kargl-Simard, CEO and Director of Blue Moon states, “This is a great day for the U.S. with regards to providing a major boost to the U.S. tungsten supply chain. We are very appreciative of the commitment of all stakeholders to advance Springer as a team. This Transaction, along with our previously announced acquisition of 33 western U.S. based tungsten and antimony projects, and our Apex germanium and gallium mine in Utah, should position Blue Moon as an important name in the domestic industrial metal supply chain.”

Peter V. Anania, Chairman and CEO of The Elmet Group states, “We believe this investment represents a significant step forward in rebuilding a secure, integrated U.S. tungsten supply chain – from domestic mineral production and processing through the advanced manufacturing capabilities required by critical U.S. industries and defense applications. By working in collaboration with Blue Moon and EQ at Springer, we hope to bring together critical resources, processing expertise, and downstream manufacturing capabilities to create a more resilient source of tungsten materials for the United States and its allies. The Elmet Group is proud to help establish and advance the infrastructure necessary to reduce our reliance on foreign sources of tungsten while strengthening American manufacturing and national security.”

Craig Bradshaw, Managing Director of EQ Resources states, “This transaction is transformational for EQR. It delivers a 10% interest in what will be a significant new APT facility in North America, an eight-year offtake agreement for 4,000 tonnes of contained WO₃ from our mines, and a leading role in the engineering and project delivery of the APT plant, all while validating the ore-sorting technology we have developed across our operations. Partnering with Blue Moon and The Elmet Group, with the sponsorship of the U.S. Department of War, cements EQR’s position as a important supplier of this critical mineral and opens a strategic new market for our Australian and Spanish production.”

Project Investment Details

Tungsten Prepayment Facility (US$50 million). As part of the Blue Moon Investment, TEG shall provide Blue Moon and its U.S. affiliates (the “BM Group”) with a prepayment facility in the aggregate principal amount of US$50 million (the "Tungsten Prepayment Facility"), to be funded in two tranches as follows:

1. Tranche 1: The first tranche, in the amount of US$25 million ("Tranche 1"), shall be funded at the closing of the Tungsten Prepayment Facility, which is expected within forty-five (45) days of today.
2. Tranche 2: The second tranche, in the amount of US$25 million ("Tranche 2"), shall be funded upon completion of agreed milestones to be set forth in the definitive agreements, aligned with Blue Moon’s readiness covenants relating to the mine, mill/concentrate plant, and flotation circuit, and, if test work is favorable, ore sorting progress. Tranche 2 shall be funded only upon satisfactory completion of the construction milestones applicable to Tranche 1, as mutually determined by the Parties acting reasonably.

Repayment: The Tungsten Prepayment Facility shall be repaid through a twenty-five percent (25%) credit against sales of Springer Concentrate.

1. TEG Warrants. In connection with the Tungsten Prepayment Facility, TEG shall, pursuant to exemptions from registration, qualification and/or prospectus requirements under applicable securities laws, grant Blue Moon warrants to acquire common shares of TEG with an aggregate exercise price of US$25 million (the "TEG Warrants"), to be issued on the fifth (5th) business day following today. The TEG Warrants shall have a strike price equal to the greater of: (i) the five (5)-day volume-weighted average price (the "VWAP") of TEG’s shares ending on the fifth business day following today, or (ii) the Nasdaq minimum price under Nasdaq Rule 5635. The TEG Warrants shall have a term of three (3) years from the date of issuance and shall not be exercisable during the six (6)-month period following issuance.

2. Equity Subscription. TEG shall subscribe for and purchase US$25 million of new equity in Blue Moon, pursuant to exemptions from registration, qualification and/or prospectus requirements under applicable securities laws, within forty-five (45) days of the Announcement Date (the "Equity Subscription"), consisting of 3,500,000 units of Blue Moon (each, a "Unit") at a price of C$10.00 per Unit or a 31.8% premium to the closing price of Blue Moon on September 11. Each Unit shall be made up of one (1) common share of Blue Moon (each a "Unit Share") and one (1) common share purchase warrant (each, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to purchase one (1) additional common share of Blue Moon (each, a "Warrant Share"). Subject to the approval of the TSXV, the exercise price of each Warrant Share shall be C$10.80. The Warrants shall be exercisable for a period of three (3) years following the closing of the Equity Subscription.

3. JV Investment. US$75 million capital injection into the APT plant by TEG. Equity ownership interests in the JV Entity shall be allocated as follows post investment: TEG – 70%, Blue Moon – 20% and EQ – 10%. TEG will operate the APT plant. Blue Moon’s initial capital contribution to the JV Entity shall consist of the APT Plant and associated infrastructure along with its off-take commitment as outlined below.

Proceeds of the Blue Moon Investment shall be limited to use solely in connection with the Springer Project, with all mine and mill proceeds earmarked for tungsten development purposes only.

Completion of the Transactions described herein is subject to receipt of, among other things, acceptable due diligence results for any non-equity deal components; all requisite approvals of the TSXV and other regulatory authorities; and approval, execution and delivery of the required definitive agreements. Within 45 days, TEG is expected to close on a US$50 million investment in the BM Group as defined below, half of which is the Equity Subscription and half of which is the Tranche 1 investment.

Blue Moon and TEG shall enter into a mutually agreed investor rights agreement (the "Investor Rights Agreement") providing TEG with customary pro-rata equity participation rights in future Blue Moon financings and a board seat upon completion of the Equity Financing.

JV Investment and Off-take Mechanics

Under the currently contemplated terms of the Transaction, BM Group shall maintain complete ownership and operation of the mine and mill at the Springer Project, including holding all permits to operate at the site. The BM Group shall retain ownership of certain ancillary assets on behalf of the JV Entity, including but not limited to utilities interconnections, water rights, and tailings facilities. A site master plan will be entered into by the JV entity, covering aspects such as real estate and access, concentrate receiving, production and shipping, development of solar and natural gas power facilities and other expansions, laboratory, utilities, and waste/tailings with a capital recovery costs and site wide water rights.

APT production is anticipated to be phased as follows on the Springer site:

1. Phase 1 APT (“Phase 1 APT”) shall target 4,000 tons of APT production capacity per year including infrastructure for blue tungsten oxide ("BTO") capacity and an additional leaching line.
2. Subsequent phased expansions of the APT Plant’s production capacity shall be driven by demand and the need to support Blue Moon’s mine concentrate production, EQ’s current and new mines concentrate production and other new mines (including EQ’s mines), funded pro-rata among the Parties after Phase 1 APT is completed (assuming less than US$100 million capital cost).

Sourcing of concentrate for the APT plant, and off-takes, are expected to be as follows:

1. TEG Years 1-5: The JV Entity will allocate up to 75% of input volume to Springer Project production annually. If Blue Moon lacks sufficient production to fill this threshold, TEG may source material from other offtake agreements to which it is a party (entered into at the request of, and with support from, DoW).
2. EQ Years 1-5: Subject to a cap of 1,000 tons of production capacity per year, the JV Entity will allocate 25% of input volume to EQ concentrate annually. If EQ production is insufficient to provide 25% of the APT Plant input capacity annualized or if EQ does not take its allocation annually, any unused volume shall be available to tungsten concentrates produced from the Springer Mine (“Springer Concentrate”) and/or the third-party sourcing described in (a) above.
3. After Year 5: Blue Moon shall be granted a proportional “most-favored-nation” right to the APT Plant capacity for 90% of the capacity, with EQ having 10%.
4. Blue Moon Offtake: The JV Entity will enter into an agreement for the right to 100% offtake of Springer Concentrate, so long as the JV Entity has the capacity to process 100% of the Springer Concentrate. Any excess Springer Concentrate will be placed by the JV Entity by best possible process.
5. EQ Offtake: The JV Entity and EQ shall enter into an off-take agreement for 4,000 tonnes of WO₃ contained in EQ concentrate over an eight (8) year period commencing upon APT Plant commissioning (the “EQ Offtake Agreement”).

Blue Moon shall sell the Springer Concentrate to the JV Entity at the same pricing terms that EQ receives for its offtake into the APT Plant pursuant to the EQ Offtake Agreement. Until commercial production is achieved at the APT Plant, the JV Entity shall sell the Springer Concentrate into the open market, with best efforts by all Parties to place volumes into the market to mutually agreed upon facilities at the best possible price.

Separately, EQ is completing preliminary ore sorting work at the Springer mill using its proprietary technology. Initial results have been positive, with further test work recommended. Pending the outcome of the additional test work, it is the intention of all Parties to install ore sorting at the Springer mill.

Other aspects of the JV Entity include supermajority rights on certain decisions standard for joint venture arrangements, operatorship requirements, cross-party security, step-in rights and remedies, standard dispute mechanisms and ordinary representation and warranties for such a transaction. Blue Moon also has certain minimum delivery requirements into the APT plant, which if they cannot be cured, could mean cancellation of the Blue Moon Offtake.

The Parties have third-party legal representation for Blue Moon at Bennett Jones LLP, TEG at Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP, and EQ at Sidley Austin LLP.
