Exploits Discovery Corp. (CSE: NFLD) (OTCQB: NFLDF) (FSE: 634) ("Exploits" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that, further to its news release of December 18, 2025, it has closed the charity portion of its flow-through non-brokered private placement with SIDEX and NQ Investissement minier (the "Charity FT Financing") and issued an aggregate of 16,666,666 flow-through common shares (the "Charity FT Shares") at a price of $0.087 for total proceeds of $1,449,999.94. All Charity FT Shares are subject to a four month and one day hold period expiring April 25, 2026, in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.
"This closing is an important endorsement of our Québec strategy and provides incremental funding to execute our winter drilling program on our highest-priority targets," noted Jeff Swinoga, President & CEO of Exploits. "Our focus is disciplined, technically grounded field execution that advances our highest-conviction targets through drill testing, with near-term milestones at Fenton and across our Québec portfolio. We thank SIDEX and NQ Investissement minier for their support and partnership."
Each Charity FT Share is intended to qualify as a "flow-through share" within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Tax Act") and, to the extent applicable, under section 359.1 of the Taxation Act (Québec).
The gross proceeds from the Charity FT Financing will be used to incur eligible "Canadian exploration expenses" that qualify as "flow-through mining expenditures" (as both terms are defined in the Tax Act) (the "Qualifying Expenditures") in Québec in connection with the Company's exploration portfolio, including advancement activities on its Québec gold projects.
The Qualifying Expenditures will be incurred on or before December 31, 2026, and the Company will renounce the Qualifying Expenditures to the subscribers of the Charity FT Shares with an effective date no later than December 31, 2025, in an aggregate amount not less than the gross proceeds raised from the issuance of the Charity FT Shares.
In connection with the Charity FT Financing, the Company paid certain eligible finders an aggregate cash finder's fee of $28,000. No finder's warrants were issued. The payment of finder's fees is subject to compliance with applicable securities laws and CSE policies.
The Company intends to close the final tranche of its flow-through financing on or before December 30, 2025.
