Pursuant to the Offering, the Company issued a total of 25,845,000 common shares of the Company (the "Shares") at a price of C$0.08 per Share for gross proceeds of C$2,067,600, including 17,182,500 Shares (C$1,374,600) sold to Equinox Partners Investment Management LLC ("Equinox"), a strategic investor and major shareholder of the Company.

Mr. John Proust, Chairman and CEO of the Company, added, "We are pleased to announce the successful closing of this Offering, with proceeds supporting our ongoing initiatives in Japan, a jurisdiction recognized for its robust geological potential, low geopolitical risk, and stable mining regulatory framework. With historical record high gold prices, the upsized Offering reflects strong investor support to accelerate our work programs in Japan's resource-rich regions."

The net proceeds from the Offering will be used for general and administrative expenses for the Company and its Japan-based subsidiary and for marketing and advertising. In connection with the Offering, the Company issued a total of 150,000 Shares in finder's fees to an arm's-length finder.

The Shares will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day, expiring on December 23, 2025, in accordance with applicable securities laws.

As of the Closing Date, Equinox holds an aggregate of 90,133,518 shares, representing approximately 30% of the then issued and outstanding common shares of the Company.

The Company intends to rely on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements under section 5.5(a) and section 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as the fair market value of the securities issued to the related party do not exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization, as calculated in accordance with MI 61-101.
