About the Merger

Further to press releases dated September 11, 2024 and October 1, 2024, and upon receipt of SEC's approval above, Athena Gold and Nova Athena have executed an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Amalgamation dated February 4, 2025, pursuant to which, subject to obtaining the necessary consents and regulatory approvals and compliance with all applicable legal requirements, Athena Gold will merge with and into Nova Athena and redomicile to British Columbia, Canada. As a result of the Merger, Nova Athena will be the surviving entity. Under the terms of the agreement, Athena Gold stockholders will receive one common share in the capital of Nova Athena for each common share of Athena Gold stock they own, as determined based on the exchange ratio described in the merger agreement. The transaction is expected to close shortly after our shareholder meeting, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including approval by the stockholders of both companies. Stockholders should refer to the proxy statement/prospectus contained within the Registration Statement for details.

The Merger is expected, among other things, to significantly reduce Athena Gold's regulatory compliance costs, enhance its ability to access the capital markets and increase the number of potential investors. Completing the redomicile to British Columbia is also expected to reduce certain U.S. resale restrictions on common shares previously issued by Athena Gold in private placement transactions.
