The Complementary Correspondence specifies that " only the responses that the Corporation is invited to provide to the Ministry will allow the analysis to continue in accordance with the usual process."

The Corporation submitted responses to the additional questions, along with an explanatory letter to the Ministry on March 21, 2025.

Luc Lessard, President and CEO of Falco, commented: " Falco continues its discussions with representatives of the Ministry with the aim of obtaining the necessary authorizations to continue the Project. "

Furthermore, the results of the recently conducted independent survey show that the Corporation enjoys strong majority support in Rouyn-Noranda, where 72% of respondents are in favor of the Horne 5 Project, as well as in Abitibi-Témiscamingue, where support reaches 74%. These results demonstrate significant public support for the Project.

These statements include references to the social acceptability of the Project, the Ministry's interpretation of section 197 of the CAR, the issues identified in the course of the BAPE process and noted by the Ministry, the development of the Horne 5 Project and the granting of environmental authorizations. These statements are based on information currently available to the Corporation and the Corporation provides no assurance that actual results will meet management's expectations. The occurrence of such events or the realization of such statements is subject to a number of risk factors, including, without limitation, the risk factors identified in Falco's annual management's discussion and analysis and in other continuous disclosure documents available at www.sedarplus.com .

There is no certainty or guarantee that the Ministry will change its position regarding the application of section 197 of the CAR to the Project, that Falco will be able to respond to the numerous additional requests from the Ministry in a timely manner or that Falco will be able to raise the necessary funds to continue the additional studies requested by the Ministry, which could significantly delay or prevent the granting of the required authorizations and therefore have an adverse impact on the development of the Project and on Falco's financial situation.
