Each Warrant shall entitle the holder to purchase one common share of the Company (each, a “Warrant Share”) at a price of C$4.00 at any time on or before that date which is 24 months after the closing date of the Offering.

(collectively, the “Agents”). In consideration for their services, the Agents received an aggregate cash commission of C$570,015.

The Unit Shares, FT Shares and Warrant Shares issued pursuant to the sale of the LIFE Securities are immediately freely tradeable under applicable Canadian securities legislation.

640,500 Units and 1,022,500 FT Units (collectively, the “Non-LIFE Securities”) were issued by way of the “accredited investor” and “minimum amount investment” exemptions under NI 45-106 in Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario and Saskatchewan. The Unit Shares, FT Shares and Warrant Shares issuable pursuant to the sale of the Non-LIFE Securities are subject to a hold period ending on March 15, 2025 under applicable Canadian securities laws.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering primarily for exploration expenditures on the Company’s uranium properties in the Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan as well as for working capital and general corporate purposes. The gross proceeds from the issuance of the FT Shares will be used for Canadian exploration expenses and will qualify, once renounced to a subscriber that is an individual (other than a trust), as “flow-through critical mineral mining expenditures”, as defined in subsection 127(9) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Qualifying Expenditures”), which will be incurred on or before December 31, 2025 and renounced to the subscribers of the FT Units and Charity FT Units with an effective date no later than December 31, 2024 in an aggregate amount not less than the gross proceeds raised from the issue of the FT Shares. If the Qualifying Expenditures are reduced by the Canada Revenue Agency, the Company will indemnify each subscriber of FT Units and Charity FT Units for any additional taxes payable by such subscriber as a result of the Company’s failure to renounce the Qualifying Expenditures as agreed.
