Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Offering Document contains forward-looking statements. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "plans", "will", "proposes", "expects", "estimates", "intends", "anticipates" or "believes", or variations (including negative and grammatical variations) of such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, that address activities, events or developments that the Issuer believes, expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future (including, without limitation, statements regarding any objectives and strategies of the Issuer) are forward-looking statements. Examples of such forward-looking statements in this Offering Document include the Issuer's business plans focused on the exploration and development of the Issuer's mineral properties; the proposed work program on the Issuer's mineral properties; costs and timing of future exploration and development activities; timing and receipt of approvals, consents and permits under applicable legislation; use of available funds, including the proceeds of the Offering and the costs of the Offering; business objectives and milestones; and adequacy of financial resources. These forward-looking statements reflect the current expectations, assumptions or beliefs of the Issuer based on information currently available to the Issuer.

Forward-looking information is based on the reasonable assumptions, estimates, analysis and opinions of management made in light of its experience and its perception of trends, current conditions and expected developments, as well as other factors that management believes to be relevant and reasonable in the circumstances at the date that such statements are made, but which may prove to be incorrect. The material factors and assumptions used to develop the forward-looking statements contained in this Offering Document include, without limitation, the availability and final receipt of required approvals, licenses and permits, sufficient working capital, access to adequate services and supplies, economic conditions, commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, access to equity and debt markets and associated costs of funds, availability of a qualified work force, that the Issuer is able to procure equipment and supplies in sufficient quantities and on a timely basis, that engineering and exploration timetables and capital costs for the Issuer's exploration plans are not incorrectly estimated or affected by unforeseen circumstances or adverse weather conditions, that any environmental and other proceedings or disputes are satisfactorily resolved, and that the Issuer maintains its ongoing relations with its business partners and governmental authorities.

There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results, performance or developments could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Although the Issuer believes that the assumptions inherent in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and accordingly undue reliance should not be put on such statements due to the inherent uncertainty therein. The factors identified above are not intended to represent a complete list of the factors that could affect the Issuer.

Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the Issuer's actual results, performance or developments to be materially different from any future results, performance or developments expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, and even if such actual results are realized or substantially realized, there can be no assurance that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on, the Issuer. Prospective investors should carefully consider all information contained in this Offering Document including information contained in the section entitled "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements", before deciding to purchase the Units. Additionally, purchasers should consider the risk factors set forth below, as well as risks described in the Issuer's filings that are available on the Issuer's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com. Risks which may impact the forward-looking information contained in this Offering Document include but are not limited to, fluctuations in mineral and commodity prices; risks and hazards associated with the business of mineral exploration and development (including environmental hazards, potential unintended releases of contaminants, accidents, unusual or unexpected geological or structural formations); the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development; the Issuer's ability to obtain additional funding; the absence of known resources; environmental risks and remediation measures, including evolving environmental regulations and legislation; changes in laws and regulations impacting exploration and mining activities; the Issuer's mineral properties being subject to prior

unregistered agreements, transfers or claims and other defects in title; legal and litigation risks; statutory and regulatory compliance; insurance and uninsurable risks; the Issuer's history of losses and negative cashflow, which will continue into the foreseeable future; the Issuer's inability to pay dividends; volatility in the Issuer's share price, the continuation of the Issuer's management team and the Issuer's ability to secure the specialized skill and knowledge; relations with and claims by local communities and non-governmental organizations; actual and perceived political risks in local jurisdictions; the effectiveness of the Issuer's internal control over financial reporting; cybersecurity risks; general business, economic, competitive, political and social uncertainties; loss of foreign issuer status; and public health crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic and other uninsurable risks.

Loss of Foreign Issuer Status

The Issuer has determined that it has ceased to qualify as a "foreign private issuer" for the purposes of United States federal securities laws as of March 31, 2023, being the last business day of its most recently completed second fiscal quarter. The definition of "foreign private issuer" in U.S. Securities Act Rule 405 provides in part that "[a]n issuer's determination that it fails to qualify as a foreign private issuer governs its eligibility to use the forms and rules designated for foreign private issuers beginning on the first day of the fiscal year following the determination date. Once an issuer fails to qualify for foreign private issuer status, it will remain unqualified unless it meets the requirements for foreign private issuer status as of the last business day of its second fiscal quarter." Accordingly, the Issuer will not be able to avail itself of the SEC rules and forms designated for foreign private issuers after September 30, 2023, which has certain implications for Securities sold pursuant to the Offering as described below.

Any Securities issued to, or for the account or benefit of, a U.S. person or a person in the United States pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and any applicable U.S. state securities laws will be as "restricted securities," as defined in U.S. Securities Act Rule 144, and will be represented by definitive certificates or other instruments bearing a U.S. Legend regarding such restrictions. If issued no later than September 30, 2023, such Securities will be eligible for U.S. Legend removal in connection with their resale in "offshore transactions" in compliance with Rule 904 of Regulation S, even if such resale transaction occurs on or after October 1, 2023.

By operation of Rule 905 of Regulation S, any Securities issued by the Issuer on or after October 1, 2023 (including any Warrant Shares issued pursuant to an exercise of Warrants for cash) will be "restricted securities," and will be issued with a U.S. Legend, regardless of whether they are issued in an "offshore transaction" pursuant to Regulation S, or are issued in the United States pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and any applicable U.S. state securities laws. Further, such Securities will continue to be subject to U.S. resale restrictions notwithstanding their resale in an "offshore transaction" pursuant to Regulation S. The presence of a U.S. Legend on a certificate or other instrument representing Securities will prevent the selling security holder from making good delivery of such Securities on a Canadian stock exchange. This will effectively preclude resale transactions on the Exchange in Securities (including Warrant Shares) that are represented by a certificate or other instrument bearing such a legend, if issued on or after October 1, 2023.

The Issuer's inability to issue securities outside the United States after September 30, 2023 without resale restrictions imposed by the U.S. Securities Act and regulations thereunder may make it difficult or impossible to complete securities offerings on favourable terms or at all.

For greater certainty, Securities that are issued no later than September 30, 2023 pursuant to an "offshore transaction" in compliance with Regulation S will not bear a U.S. Legend, provided that they are not offered and sold to, or for the account or benefit of, a U.S. person or a person within the United States. Further, any Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of Warrants that comprise such Securities on a cashless basis will not be "restricted securities" and will not be required to bear a U.S. Legend, provided that no commission or other remuneration is paid or given, directly or indirectly, for soliciting the exercise of such Warrants.
