Common Shares

This prospectus supplement (this "Prospectus Supplement") of Blue Moon Metals Inc. ("Blue Moon" or the "Corporation"), together with the short form base shelf prospectus dated September 23, 2025 (the "Prospectus"), qualifies the distribution (the "Offering") of common shares of the Corporation (the "Offered Shares") at a price of $ per Offered Share (the "Offering Price"). The Offered Shares are being issued and sold pursuant to an underwriting agreement dated April , 2026 (the "Underwriting Agreement") among the Corporation, Scotia Capital Inc. ("Scotia"), ATB Capital Markets Corp. (“Cormark”) and Canaccord Genuity Corp. ("Canaccord", and together with Scotia and Cormark, the "Lead Underwriters") as the co-lead underwriters and joint bookrunners, and (collectively, the "Underwriters"). The Offering Price was determined based on arm's length negotiations between the Corporation and the Lead Underwriters, on behalf of the Underwriters, and with reference to the prevailing market price of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Corporation (the "Common Shares"). See "Description of Securities Being Distributed" and "Plan of Distribution".

Concurrently with the Offering, the Corporation intends to complete a concurrent private placement offering (the "Concurrent Private Placement") of  Common Shares (the "Private Placement Shares") at the Offering Price for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $50 million with certain existing shareholders of the Corporation and other purchasers (each a "Placement Investor"). The Corporation and the Underwriters will enter into a placement agreement pursuant to which the Private Placement Shares will be sold (the "Placement Agreement"). The Corporation will enter into a subscription agreement with each Placement Investor setting out the detailed terms of the Concurrent Private Placement. The Concurrent Private Placement is expected to close on or about May 6, 2026 or such later date as mutually agreed to by the Corporation and the Lead Underwriters on behalf of the Underwriters, including to accommodate for multiple tranches of the Concurrent Private Placement, if applicable. Listing of the Private Placement Shares is subject to the Corporation fulfilling all of the requirements of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") and the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”), respectively. The Concurrent Private Placement is being conducted as a separate offering from the Offering and is not being made by means of this Prospectus Supplement or the accompanying Prospectus. The Concurrent Private Placement has not been conditioned upon the completion of the Offering, and the Offering has not been conditioned upon the completion of the Concurrent Private Placement. See "Concurrent Private Placement".


The Common Shares are listed and posted for trading on the TSXV under the symbol "MOON" and on the Nasdaq under the symbol "BMM". The Common Shares are also quoted on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange ("FRA") under the symbol "8SX0". On April 24, 2026, the last full trading day prior to the announcement of the Offering, the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSXV was $10.96, the closing price of the Common Shares on the Nasdaq was US$7.90 and the closing price of the Common Shares on the FRA was 6.90. The Corporation has applied to list the Offered Shares (including the Over-Allotment Shares (as defined herein)) on the TSXV and the Nasdaq. Listing of the Offered Shares is subject to the Corporation fulfilling all of the requirements of the TSXV and the Nasdaq, respectively.

Notes:

(1)   In consideration for the services rendered by the Underwriters in connection with the Offering, the Corporation has agreed to pay the Underwriters a cash commission equal to 5.0% (the "Underwriters' Fee") of the gross proceeds of the Offering (including, for greater certainty, on any exercise of the Over-Allotment Option (as defined herein)), provided the cash commission payable on subscriptions of Offered Shares by certain select purchasers shall be reduced to 2.5%.
(2)  The Corporation has granted the Underwriters an option (the "Over-Allotment Option"), exercisable in whole or in part in the sole discretion of the Underwriters for a period of 30 days following the Closing Date (as defined herein), to purchase up to an additional  Offered Shares (the "Over-Allotment Shares"), at the Offering Price, to cover over-allocations, if any, and for market stabilization purposes. The grant of the Over-Allotment Option is qualified by this Prospectus Supplement. A person who acquires securities forming part of the Underwriters' over-allocation position acquires those securities under this Prospectus Supplement regardless of whether the Underwriters' over-allocation position is ultimately filled through the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option or secondary market purchases. If the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full, the total "Price to the Public", "Underwriters' Fee" and "Net Proceeds to Blue Moon" (before payment of the expenses of the Offering and assuming no reduction to the Underwriters' Fee) will be $, $ and $, respectively. See "Plan of Distribution" and the table below.
(3)   After deducting the Underwriters' Fee (assuming no reduction in the Underwriters' Fee), but before deducting the expenses of the Offering (such expenses estimated to be $1,025,850), which, together with the Underwriters' Fee, will be paid by the Corporation out of the gross proceeds of the Offering. See "Plan of Distribution".

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to the "Offering" and the "Offered Shares" in this Prospectus Supplement shall include the Over-Allotment Option and the Over-Allotment Shares, respectively.

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of (i) an investor rights agreement (the "Hartree IRA") entered into between the Corporation and Hartree Partners, LP ("Hartree") on March 7, 2025, and (ii) an investor rights agreement (the "Teck IRA") entered into between the Corporation and Teck Resources Limited ("Teck") on March 13, 2026, each of Hartree and Teck hold pre-emptive rights to participate in the Corporation’s subsequent offerings to subscribe for and acquire such number of Common Shares as would result in the pro rata interest of each of Hartree and Teck individually, immediately following the completion of such offering being equal to their respective pro rata interest immediately prior to such offering, on the same terms and conditions of such offering (the “Pre-Emptive Rights”). No other shareholder currently holds any valid pre-emptive rights.

Subject to applicable laws and in connection with the Offering, the Underwriters may over-allot or effect transactions which are intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the Common Shares at levels other than those which might otherwise prevail on the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time. The Underwriters may offer the Offered Shares at a lower price than stated above. Any such reduced-price sales will not affect the net proceeds to be received by the Corporation under the Offering. See "Plan of Distribution".

An investment in the Offered Shares is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk and should only be made by persons who can afford the total loss of their investment. The risk factors included or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus Supplement should be carefully reviewed and considered by purchasers in connection with an investment in the Offered Shares. See "Notice to Investors – Forward-Looking Information" and "Risk Factors" in this Prospectus Supplement and "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information" and "Risk Factors" in the AIF (as defined herein), which is available electronically on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and EDGAR at www.sec.gov and is incorporated by reference herein.

THE OFFERED SHARES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SEC, THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES OR ANY CANADIAN SECURITIES REGULATOR NOR HAS ANY OF THE FOREGOING PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT OR THE SHORT FORM BASE PROSPECTUS DATED SEPTEMBER 23, 2025 TO WHICH IT RELATES. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

The Offering is being made by a Canadian issuer that is permitted, under a multijurisdictional disclosure system (the "MJDS") adopted by the United States and Canada, to prepare this Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements. Investors should be aware that such requirements are different from those of the United States. Financial statements included or incorporated herein have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS") and are subject to the rules and auditor independence standards of the United States Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, and thus may not be comparable to financial statements of United States companies under United States generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP").

- iii -




In addition, as a "foreign private issuer", the Corporation is exempt from certain rules under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "U.S. Exchange Act") prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements, and the Corporation's officers, directors and principal shareholders are currently exempt from the reporting and "short swing" profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the U.S. Exchange Act. Although Section 8103 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026, named the "Holding Foreign Insiders Accountable Act", which was signed into U.S. law on December 18, 2025, requires the directors and officers of certain foreign private issuers to make insider reports under Section 16(a) of the U.S. Exchange Act, effective March 18, 2026, the Corporation's directors and officers were exempted from this requirement because the Corporation is organized in Canada and its directors and officers are subject to the insider reporting requirements of Canada's National Instrument 55-104. In addition, the Corporation is not required to publish financial statements as promptly as a domestic U.S. issuer in certain instances or follow certain other rules and regulations applicable to domestic U.S. issuers. See "Risk Factors  - As a foreign private issuer, the Corporation is subject to different U.S. securities laws and rules than a domestic U.S. issuer, which may limit the information publicly available to its U.S. shareholders".

The Offering is being made in Canada under the terms of this Prospectus Supplement. The securities being offered under this Prospectus Supplement are also being registered in the United States under the terms of the Corporation's prospectus supplement filed pursuant to General Instruction II.L of Form F-10 under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), supplementing the base prospectus that forms a part of the Corporation's registration statement (the "Registration Statement") on Form F-10 (File No. 333-293554) filed with the SEC on February 18, 2026. See "Plan of Distribution". As used in this Prospectus Supplement, "United States" and "U.S. person" are as defined in Regulation S promulgated under the U.S. Securities Act.

The enforcement by investors of civil liabilities under U.S. federal securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that the Corporation is existing under the provincial laws of British Columbia, that most of its officers and directors are not residents of the United States, that some or all experts named herein are not residents of the United States, and that a substantial portion of the assets of the Corporation and said persons are located outside the United States. See "Enforcement of Judgments Against Foreign Persons".

Prospective investors should be aware that the acquisition, holding or disposition of the Offered Shares may have tax consequences in Canada or in the United States. Such consequences for investors may not be described fully herein. Prospective investors are encouraged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to their own particular circumstances. See "Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations" and "Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations for U.S. Holders".

The Underwriters, as principals, conditionally offer the Offered Shares, subject to prior sale, if, as and when issued by the Corporation and accepted by the Underwriters in accordance with the conditions contained in the Underwriting Agreement referred to under "Plan of Distribution" and subject to the approval of certain Canadian legal matters on behalf of the Corporation by Bennett Jones LLP and on behalf of the Underwriters by Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, and certain U.S. legal matters on behalf of the Corporation by Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP and on behalf of the Underwriters by Allen Overy Shearman Sterling US LLP.

Securities legislation in certain of the provinces and territories of Canada provides purchasers with the right to withdraw from an agreement to purchase securities. See "Purchasers' Statutory Rights of Withdrawal and Rescission".

Subscriptions for the Offered Shares will be received subject to rejection or allotment in whole or in part and the right is reserved to close the subscription books at any time without notice. It is anticipated that the Offered Shares will be delivered under the book-based system through CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. ("CDS") or its nominee and deposited in registered or electronic form with CDS on the closing of the Offering, which is expected to be on May 6, 2026, or such other date as may be agreed upon by the Corporation and the Lead Underwriters on behalf of the Underwriters (such actual closing date hereinafter referred to as the "Closing Date") and, in any event, on or before a date not later than 42 days from the date of this Prospectus Supplement. Except in limited circumstances, such as for certain purchasers of Offered Shares in the United States, a purchaser of Offered Shares will receive only a customer confirmation from the registered dealer through which the Offered Shares are purchased.

Certain directors of the Corporation and certain executive officers of the Corporation who have signed certificates in this Prospectus Supplement or the Prospectus and certain persons who have signed consents required to be filed in connection with the filing of this Prospectus Supplement or the Prospectus reside outside of Canada. Purchasers are advised that it may not be possible for investors to enforce judgments obtained in Canada against any person or company that is incorporated, continued or otherwise organized under the laws of a foreign jurisdiction or resides outside of Canada, even if the party has appointed an agent for service of process. See "Enforcement of Judgments Against Foreign Persons or Companies".

The Corporation's registered office is located at 666 Burrard Street, Suite 2500 Park Place, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 2X8 and its head office is located at 220 Bay Street, Suite 550, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5J 2W4.

NOTICE TO INVESTORS

About this Prospectus Supplement

This document is in two parts. The first part is this Prospectus Supplement, which describes the terms of the Offered Shares being offered and also adds to and updates information contained in the Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference therein. The second part, the Prospectus, gives more general information, some of which may not apply to the Offered Shares being offered under this Prospectus Supplement. This Prospectus Supplement is deemed to be incorporated by reference into the Prospectus solely for the purpose of the Offering constituted by this Prospectus Supplement. Other documents are also incorporated, or are deemed to be incorporated by reference, into the Prospectus and reference should be made to the Prospectus for full particulars thereof.

Readers should rely only on the information contained in or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus and should not rely on some parts of this Prospectus Supplement or Prospectus to the exclusion of others. The Corporation has not, and the Underwriters have not, authorized any other person to provide investors with additional or different information. If anyone provides you with additional, different or inconsistent information, including information or statements in articles about the Corporation or through other forms of media, readers should not rely on it. The Corporation is not, and the Underwriters are not, offering the securities in any jurisdiction in which the Offering is not permitted. Investors should assume that the information contained in this Prospectus Supplement or the Prospectus is accurate only as of the date on the front of those documents and that information contained in any document incorporated by reference herein or therein is accurate only as of the date of that document unless otherwise specified, regardless of the time of delivery of this Prospectus Supplement or of any sale of the securities pursuant hereto. The Corporation's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates.

Information contained in this Prospectus Supplement should not be construed as legal, tax or financial advice and readers are urged to consult their own professional advisors in connection therewith.

Forward-Looking Information

This Prospectus Supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein may contain or incorporate by reference "forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation and "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (such forward-looking information and forward-looking statements, collectively, "forward-looking information"). All information, other than statements of historical facts, included in this Prospectus Supplement and any document incorporated by reference herein that address activities, events or developments that the Corporation expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future, including such things as future business strategy, competitive strengths, goals, expansion and growth of the Corporation's businesses, operations, plans and other such matters are forward-looking information.

When used in this Prospectus Supplement or any document incorporated by reference or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein, the words "estimate", "plan", "continue", "anticipate", "might", "expect", "project", "intend", "may", "will", "shall", "should", "could", "would", "predict", "forecast", "pursue", "potential", "believe" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking information. This information involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Corporation to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking information.

Examples of such forward-looking information include information pertaining to, without limitation: statements with respect to the use of proceeds of the Offering and the Concurrent Private Placement; the timing for completion of the Offering and the Concurrent Private Placement; the satisfaction of the conditions to closing of the Offering and the Concurrent Private Placement, including receipt in a timely manner of required regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSXV; the plan of distribution for the Offering and the Concurrent Private Placement; the potential for the Underwriters to exercise the Over-Allotment Option or undertake market stabilization transactions; the milestones necessary to achieve the Corporation's business objectives and the timing thereof; the availability and change in terms of financing; viability and timing of approval for required permits; permitting and legal processes in relation to mining permitting and approval; the benefits of the development potential of the properties of the Corporation; risk of employee and/or contractor strike actions; the future price of zinc, copper, gold, silver and tungsten; the estimation of the mineral reserves and resources; the realization of mineral reserve and resource estimates; the timing and amount of estimated future production at each of the Blue Moon Property and Nussir Property (each as defined under the heading "Technical Information"); costs of production; expected capital expenditures; costs and timing of development of new deposits; success of exploration activities; permitting requirements; currency fluctuations; labour availability costs and conditions; supply chain elasticity; inherent hazards associated with mining operations; costs of production, expansion of production capabilities; the ability to obtain surface rights to support planned infrastructure at the Corporation's projects; the ability to take advantage of forward sales agreements profitably; the ability to recover property potentially impaired by third party insolvency proceedings; requirements for additional capital; government regulation of mining operations; environmental risks and hazards; title disputes or claims; and limitations on insurance coverage.

S-1



Factors that could cause actual results to vary materially from results anticipated by such forward-looking information include: inherent risks associated with the business of exploring, development and mining; errors in management's geological modelling; the inability of the Corporation to capitalize on mineralization on its properties in a manner that is economic; the timing and ability (if at all) to complete further exploration activities, including drilling; development, infrastructure, operating or technical difficulties on any of the Corporation's properties; risks relating to costs, timing and ability (if at all) to advance the properties of the Corporation differing materially from estimates; the inability to obtain all authorizations and permits needed to continue advancing the Corporation's properties in a timely manner (or at all); failure of the Corporation to complete any further studies for the Blue Moon Property (as defined herein) and the Nussir Property (as defined herein) in the timing contemplated (or at all); risks relating to the key assumptions, parameters, limitations and methods used in the Blue Moon Property technical report and the Nussir Property technical report, including the mineral resources estimates contained therein; the prospects, if any, of the Blue Moon Property and the Nussir Property mineral deposits; the potential to extend mineralization down-plunge and at depth; the ability of exploration work (including drilling) to accurately predict mineralization; upgrading an inferred mineral resource to a measured mineral resource or indicated mineral resource category; the results of exploration activities; the global economic climate; dilution; environmental risks; community and non-governmental actions; fluctuations in currency markets; social acceptability of the Corporation's projects; fluctuations in commodity prices; risks relating to capital market conditions and the ability of the Corporation to access sufficient capital on favourable terms or at all; changes in law, rules and regulations applicable to the Corporation and its operations; risks associated with the Corporation's ability to maintain its status as a "foreign private issuer", and that the rights of the Corporation's shareholders may differ from the rights and protections typically afforded to shareholders of a U.S. corporation so long as the Corporation continues to be a "foreign private issuer"; taxation, controls and regulations; the ability to maintain the applicable minimum requirements for listing, as applicable, of the TSXV, FRA and the Nasdaq; risks relating to outbreaks of diseases and public health crises; risks relating to international conflict, geopolitical instability of war; risks relating to any imposition of tariffs or other trade restrictions; political or economic developments in Canada, the United States, Norway or in other countries in which the Corporation does business or may carry on business in the future; risks relating to foreign operations and enforcement of judgments; operating or technical difficulties in connection with exploration or development activities; employee relations; information systems security threats; the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development; obtaining necessary licenses and permits; contests over title to properties, especially title to undeveloped properties; the inherent risks involved in the exploration and development of mineral properties; the uncertainties involved in interpreting drill results and other geological data; environmental hazards; industrial accidents; unusual or unexpected formations, pressures, cave-ins and flooding; limitations of insurance coverage and the possibility of cost overruns or unanticipated costs and expenses. For a more detailed discussion of these factors and other risks, see the section entitled "Risk Factors" herein and the section entitled "Risk Factors" contained in the AIF.

 

Although the Corporation has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in, or implied by, the forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated, or intended. There can be no assurance that such information will prove to be accurate as actual developments or events could cause results to differ materially from those anticipated. These include, among others, the factors described or referred to elsewhere herein and in the documents incorporated by reference herein, and include unanticipated and/or unusual events. Many of such factors are beyond the Corporation's ability to predict or control.

Readers of this Prospectus Supplement are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking information due to its inherent uncertainty. The Corporation disclaims any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking information contained in this Prospectus Supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein, whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise, unless required under applicable laws. This forward-looking information should not be relied upon as representing management's views as of any date subsequent to the date of this Prospectus Supplement or the respective dates of the documents incorporated by reference herein. Statements concerning mineral reserve and resource estimates may also be deemed to constitute forward-looking information to the extent they involve estimates of the mineralization that will be encountered if the property is developed. Investors should read this entire Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus and consult their own professional advisors to ascertain and assess the income tax and legal risks and other aspects of their investment in the Offered Shares.

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Regarding the use of mineral reserves and mineral resource estimates

We are permitted under the MJDS adopted by the securities regulatory authorities in Canada and the United States to prepare this Prospectus Supplement, and the accompanying Prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein, in accordance with the requirements of Canadian securities laws, which differ from the requirements of United States securities laws. As a result, information regarding mineral properties, mineralization and estimates of mineral reserves and mineral resources has been prepared in accordance with Canadian reporting requirements, which are governed by National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the "CIM") – CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended (the "CIM Definition Standards"). NI 43-101 is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators that establishes standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects. Canadian standards, including NI 43-101, differ in certain respects from the disclosure requirements of the SEC under subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K (the "S-K 1300"). In accordance with the MJDS, the Corporation is generally not required to provide disclosure on its mineral properties under S-K 1300 and instead provides disclosure under NI 43-101 and the CIM Definition Standards. Accordingly, mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates, and other scientific and technical information, contained in this Prospectus Supplement, the accompanying Prospectus, or the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein, may not be directly comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to S-K 1300 and may differ in certain respects from the information that would be disclosed had the Corporation prepared the mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates under the standards adopted under S-K 1300.

cautionary note to U.S. investors regarding preparation of financial statements and financial information

As a Canadian company, the Corporation prepares its financial statements in accordance with IFRS. Consequently, all of the financial statements and financial information of the Corporation included or incorporated herein have been prepared in accordance with IFRS, which is different in certain respects than financial statements and financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and therefore may not be comparable to financial information of United States companies prepared under U.S. GAAP.

ENFORCEMENT OF JUDGMENTS AGAINST FOREIGN PERSONS

Mr. Francis Johnstone, Dr. Karin Thorburn, Mr. Peter Madsen, Mr. Per-Erik Bjórnstad and Mr. Frode Nilsen, each a director of the Corporation, reside outside of Canada and have appointed Bennett Jones LLP, 3400 One First Canadian Place, P.O. Box 130, Toronto, Ontario, M5X 1A4 as agent for service of process.

Purchasers are advised that it may not be possible for investors to enforce judgments obtained in Canada against any person or company that is incorporated, continued or otherwise organized under the laws of a foreign jurisdiction or resides outside of Canada, even if the party has appointed an agent for service of process.

In addition, most of the Corporation's directors and officers, and some or all of the experts named in this Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus, are residents of Canada or otherwise reside outside of the United States, and a substantial portion of their assets, and a substantial portion of the Corporation's assets, are located outside the United States. The Corporation has appointed an agent for service of process in the United States, but it may be difficult for purchasers who reside in the United States to effect service within the United States upon those directors, officers and experts who are not residents of the United States. It may also be difficult for purchasers who reside in the United States to realize in the United States upon judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon the Corporation's civil liability and the civil liability of the Corporation's directors and officers and experts under the United States federal securities laws. The Corporation has been advised by its Canadian counsel, Bennett Jones LLP, that a judgment of a United States court predicated solely upon civil liability under United States federal securities laws would generally be recognized and be enforceable in Canada provided that the United States court in which the judgment was obtained has a basis for jurisdiction in the matter that would be recognized by a Canadian court for the same purposes. The Corporation has also been advised by Bennett Jones LLP, however, that there is uncertainty as to whether an action could be brought in Canada in the first instance on the basis of liability predicated solely upon United States federal securities laws.

S-3


The Corporation has filed with the SEC, concurrently with the U.S. Registration Statement of which this Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus form a part, an appointment of agent for service of process on Form F-X. Under the Form F-X, the Corporation appointed Cogency Global Inc. as its agent for service of process in the United States in connection with any investigation or administrative proceeding conducted by the SEC and any civil suit or action brought against or involving the Corporation in a United States court arising out of or related to or concerning the offering of securities under this Prospectus Supplement.

CURRENCY PRESENTATION and Financial Information

Unless otherwise indicated, all monetary amounts in this Prospectus Supplement are expressed in Canadian dollars. The financial statements of the Corporation incorporated herein by reference are reported in Canadian dollars and are prepared in accordance with IFRS.

S-10



As of April 27, 2026, the Corporation anticipates spending a total of $174,000,000 over the next 12 months in order to meet its objectives and milestones. The Corporation anticipates using its working capital, which as of April 27, 2026, was approximately $30.0 million (including $35.1 million in cash), to fund its necessary activities related to the Blue Moon Property and the Nussir Property. The Corporation will also use its working capital in order to meet its general and administrative expenses, which, as of April 27, 2026, are expected to be approximately $19 million over the next 12 months including the fees and expenses of this equity offering of approximately $9,000,000 (and assuming full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option).

Through the spending plans set out above, within the next 12 months the Corporation expects to: (i) achieve the commencement of ore stockpiling at the Nussir Project, (ii)  complete the current underground development work at the Blue Moon Property as well as the related exploration efforts in the surrounding project area, (iii)  advance each of the Apex Property and the Springer Property to a position where a NI 43-101 technical report may be commissioned by the Corporation in respect of both assets.

Within the specified 12 month timeframe, the Corporation's anticipated expenditures detailed above are fully funded with the proceeds of the Offerings and cash on hand. However full achievement of the Corporation's next milestones and completion of the entirety of the Corporation's expected development of its material mineral projects, as well as the continuing operations of the Corporation, are dependent on the ability of the Corporation to obtain additional financing to fund such future anticipated costs and expenditures. Though the Corporation is actively pursuing such financing activities in the ordinary course, there is no guarantee such financing will be secured, or available on a timely basis or on acceptable terms.

Prospective investors are cautioned that the above represents the opinions, assumptions and estimates of management considered reasonable at the date the statements are made, and are inherently subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other known and unknown factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those described above. See "Risk Factors" in this Prospectus Supplement and other risk factors in the documents incorporated by reference herein.

PRE-EMPTIVE RIGHTS

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of (i) the Hartree IRA, and (ii) the Teck IRA, each of Hartree and Teck hold Pre-Emptive Rights. No other shareholder currently holds any valid pre-emptive rights.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement dated April , 2026 among the Corporation and the Underwriters, the Corporation has agreed to sell and the Underwriters have agreed severally, and not jointly or jointly and severally, to purchase, or alternatively and without prejudice to the Underwriters' obligation to purchase, to arrange, as agent for substituted purchasers, on the Closing Date, an aggregate of Offered Shares at the Offering Price for gross proceeds of $ payable in cash to the Corporation against delivery of the Offered Shares, subject to the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement. The obligations of the Underwriters under the Underwriting Agreement may be terminated at their discretion on the basis of the "disaster out", "regulatory out", "material change out" and "breach out" provisions in the Underwriting Agreement and may also be terminated upon the occurrence of certain other stated events. The Underwriters are, however, obligated to take up and pay for all of the Offered Shares if any of the Offered Shares are purchased under the Underwriting Agreement. The Offering Price was determined by arm's length negotiations between the Corporation and the Lead Underwriters, on behalf of the Underwriters, with reference to the prevailing market price of the Common Shares. Closing of the Offering is anticipated to occur on or about May 6, 2026 subject to the conditions of closing being met, or such earlier or later date as the Corporation and the Lead Underwriters may agree.

S-11


The Corporation has also granted the Underwriters the Over-Allotment Option, exercisable in whole or in part in the sole discretion of the Underwriters for a period of 30 days following the Closing Date, to purchase up to  Over-Allotment Shares at the Offering Price, to cover over-allotments, if any, and for market stabilization purposes.

If the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full for Over-Allotment Shares, the total "Price to the Public", "Underwriters' Fee" and "Net Proceeds to Blue Moon" (before payment of the expenses of the Offering) will be $, $ and $, respectively. This Prospectus Supplement also qualifies the grant of the Over-Allotment Option and the distribution of the Over-Allotment Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. A purchaser who acquires securities forming part of the Underwriters' over-allocation position acquires those securities under this Prospectus Supplement regardless of whether the over-allocation position is ultimately filled through the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option or secondary market purchases.

In consideration for the services provided by the Underwriters in connection with the Offering and pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Corporation has agreed to pay the Underwriters the Underwriters' Fee, equal to 5.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering (including in respect of any exercise of the Over-Allotment Option). The cash commission payable on subscriptions for Offered Shares by certain select purchasers, as agreed upon between the Corporation and the Lead Underwriters, shall be reduced to 2.5%.

Pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Corporation and Underwriters have agreed that the Corporation will pay (i) all expenses of or incidental to the creation, issue, sale or distribution of the Offered Shares, including, without limitation, the fees and expenses payable in connection with the distribution of the Offered Shares, (ii) the reasonable fees and expenses of the Corporation's counsel; (iii) all costs incurred with the preparation of documentation relating to the Offering, including the filing of this Prospectus Supplement; (iv) all reasonable fees and disbursements of the Underwriters' legal counsel (to a maximum of US$250,000, in the aggregate, inclusive of disbursements and exclusive of applicable taxes); and (v) all reasonable other "out-of-pocket" expenses of the Underwriters. The Corporation has also agreed to indemnify the Underwriters, their affiliates and their respective partners, directors, officers and employees against certain liabilities and expenses and to contribute to payments that the Underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof.

The Offering is being made concurrently in each of the provinces and territories of Canada, except Quebec, and in the United States. The Offered Shares will be offered in all the provinces and territories of Canada, except Quebec, and in the United States pursuant to the Registration Statement, through the Underwriters or their affiliates who are registered to offer the Offered Shares for sale in such provinces and territories and such other registered dealers as may be designated by the Underwriters. Any offers or sales of the Offered Shares in the United States will be conducted through the Underwriters, or one or more affiliates of the Underwriters, duly registered as a broker-dealer in compliance with applicable U.S. securities laws, federal and state broker-dealer laws and the requirements of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. The Corporation has applied to list the Offered Shares (including the Over-Allotment Shares) on the TSXV and on the Nasdaq. Listing is subject to the Corporation fulfilling all of the requirements of the TSXV and of the Nasdaq.

The Corporation expects that delivery of the Offered Shares will be made on the Closing Date, expected to be on or about May 6, 2026, which is longer than a T+1 settlement cycle. Under Rule 15c6-1 under the U.S. Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle within one business day, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, investors who wish to trade Offered Shares prior to the Closing Date may be required to specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Investors who wish to trade Offered Shares prior to the Closing Date should consult their own advisors.

Under the Underwriting Agreement, without the prior consent of the Lead Underwriters on behalf of the Underwriters, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, for a period of 90 days from the Closing Date, the Corporation has agreed not to issue or sell any additional Common Shares or financial instruments convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares, other than: (a) pursuant to the Corporation's equity compensation plan, (b) to satisfy existing contractual obligations and instruments already issued as of the date hereof; (c) the issuance of Common Shares upon the exercise of any outstanding warrants, convertible securities, options, or any other commitment or agreement outstanding as of the date hereof; (d) obligations in respect of existing agreements; (e) the issuance of Common Shares in connection with any bona fide acquisition by the Corporation or its subsidiaries; (f) in connection with an internal reorganization; and (g) in connection with certain strategic investments.

Pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Corporation has also agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to cause each of its directors and officers to agree, in lock-up agreements to be executed concurrently with the closing of the Offering, that each will not, without the prior consent of the Lead Underwriters, on behalf of the Underwriters, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, for a period ending 90 days from the Closing Date, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, contract to sell, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale, or otherwise dispose of, or transfer, or announce any intention to do so, any Common Shares, whether now owned, directly or indirectly, or under their control or direction, or with respect to which each has beneficial ownership, or enter into any transaction or arrangement that has the effect of transferring, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of Common Shares, whether such transaction is settled by the delivery of Common Shares, other securities, cash or otherwise, other than pursuant to a bona fide take-over bid or any other similar transaction made generally to all of the shareholders of the Corporation and certain other customary exceptions as provided for in the lock up agreements.

Subject to applicable laws and in connection with the Offering, the Underwriters may over-allot or effect transactions which are intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the Common Shares at levels other than those which might otherwise prevail on the open market, including: stabilizing transactions; short sales; purchases to cover positions created by short sales; imposition of penalty bids; and syndicate covering transactions. Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

Stabilizing transactions consist of bids or purchases made for the purpose of preventing or slowing a decline in the market price of the Common Shares while the Offering is in progress. These transactions may also include over-allocating or making short sales of the Offered Shares, which involves the sale by the Underwriters of a greater number of Offered Shares than it is required to purchase in the Offering.

The Underwriters may close out any covered short position by purchasing Offered Shares in the open market.

The Underwriters must close out any naked short position by purchasing Offered Shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the Underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the Offered Shares in the open market. A purchaser who acquires Offered Shares forming part of the Underwriters’ over-allocation position will acquire such Offered Shares under this Prospectus Supplement.

Pursuant to the rules and policy statements of certain Canadian securities regulators, the Underwriters may not, throughout the period of distribution under this Prospectus Supplement, bid for or purchase Common Shares for their own account or for accounts over which they exercise control or direction. The foregoing restriction is subject to certain exceptions, on the condition that the bid or purchase not be engaged in for the purpose of creating actual or apparent active trading in or raising the price of the Common Shares. These exceptions include a bid or purchase permitted under the Universal Market Integrity Rules for Canadian marketplaces administered by the Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization relating to market stabilization and passive market-making activities and a bid or purchase made for or on behalf of a client where the client's order was not solicited during the period of distribution.

As a result of these activities, the price of the Offered Shares may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If these activities are commenced, they may be discontinued by the Underwriters at any time. The Underwriters may carry out these transactions on any stock exchange on which the Offered Shares are listed, in the over-the-counter market, or otherwise.

S-13



The Underwriters propose to offer the Offered Shares initially at the Offering Price. After the Underwriters have made reasonable efforts to sell all of the Offered Shares at such price, the Offering Price may be decreased, and further changed from time to time, to an amount not greater than the Offering Price. However, in no event will the Corporation receive less than net proceeds of $ per Offered Share. If the selling price is reduced, the compensation received by the Underwriters will be reduced by the amount that the aggregate price paid by the purchasers for the Offered Shares is less than the gross proceeds paid by the Underwriters to the Corporation. In addition, the Underwriters may offer selling group participation to other registered dealers that are satisfactory to the Corporation, acting reasonably, with compensation to be negotiated between the Underwriters and such selling group participants, but at no additional cost to the Corporation.

Subscriptions for the Offered Shares will be received subject to rejection or allotment in whole or in part and the right is reserved to close the subscription books at any time without notice. It is anticipated that the Offered Shares will be delivered under the book-based system through CDS or its nominee and deposited in registered or electronic form with CDS on the Closing Date. Except in limited circumstances, such as for certain purchasers of Offered Shares in the United States, a purchaser of Offered Shares will receive only a customer confirmation from the registered dealer through which the Offered Shares are purchased.

As further described herein under "Concurrent Private Placement", the Underwriters have not offered or sold, and will not offer or sell, any Private Placement Shares by means of this Prospectus Supplement or the accompanying Prospectus. No general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D under the U.S. Securities Act) has been or will be used in connection with the Concurrent Private Placement. The Corporation and the Underwriters have conducted and will conduct the Offering and the Concurrent Private Placement in a manner intended to comply with applicable securities laws and with respect to the Concurrent Private Placement, to preserve the availability of applicable exemptions from registration under the U.S. Securities Act. The Underwriters may receive customary placement fees or other compensation in connection with the Concurrent Private Placement, which will be payable separately from any underwriting fees payable in connection with the Offering.

CONCURRENT PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Concurrently with the Offering, the Corporation intends to complete the Concurrent Private Placement of up to ● Private Placement Shares at the Offering Price for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $50 million. The Corporation and the Underwriters will enter into a Placement Agreement pursuant to which the Private Placement Shares will be sold The Corporation will enter into a subscription agreement with each Placement Investor setting out the detailed terms of the Concurrent Private Placement. The Concurrent Private Placement is expected to close on or about May 6, 2026 or such later date as mutually agreed to by the Corporation and the Lead Underwriters on behalf of the Underwriters, including to accommodate for multiple tranches of the Concurrent Private Placement, if applicable.

This Prospectus Supplement does not qualify the distribution of the Private Placement Shares issuable pursuant to the Concurrent Private Placement. All Private Placement Shares issued pursuant to the Concurrent Private Placement will be subject to statutory hold periods under Canadian securities laws and applicable resale restrictions under United States securities laws. Subscribers of Common Shares pursuant to the Offering should not rely on the fact that the Placement Investors have decided to participate in the Concurrent Private Placement and should make their own investment decision with respect to the purchase of Common Shares pursuant to the Offering. The Concurrent Private Placement is being conducted in a manner intended to be exempt from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act. The Private Placement Shares have not and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act, will be "restricted securities" under the U.S. Securities Act and will be issued on a private placement basis to persons who are "accredited investors" under United States and Canadian securities laws and in reliance on available exemptions from registration in transactions not involving any public offering.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES BEING DISTRIBUTED

The Offering consists of Offered Shares at a price of $ per Offered Share. In addition, the Corporation has granted the Underwriters the Over-Allotment Option, exercisable in whole or in part in the sole discretion of the Underwriters for a period of 30 days following the Closing Date, to purchase up to Over-Allotment Shares at the Offering Price to cover over-allotments, if any, and for market stabilization purposes. See "Plan of Distribution".

S-14

CERTAIN CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following is, as of the date of this Prospectus Supplement, a summary of the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations under Tax Act generally applicable to an investor who acquires an Offered Share pursuant to the Offering.

This summary applies only to a purchaser who is a beneficial owner of Offered Shares acquired pursuant to this Offering and who, for the purposes of the Tax Act, and at all relevant times, (i) deals at arm's length with the Corporation and each of the Underwriters and any subsequent purchaser of such Offered Shares; (ii) is not affiliated with the Corporation or any of the Underwriters or any subsequent purchaser of Offered Shares; and (iii) acquires and holds the Offered Shares as capital property (a "Holder"). Generally, the Offered Shares will be considered to be capital property to a Holder thereof provided that the Holder does not use or hold (and is not deemed to use or hold) the Offered Shares in the course of carrying on a business of trading or dealing in securities and such Holder has not acquired them (or been deemed to have acquired them) in one or more transactions considered to be an adventure or concern in the nature of trade.

This summary does not apply to a Holder: (i) that is a "financial institution" for the purposes of the mark-to-market rules contained in the Tax Act; (ii) that is a "specified financial institution" as defined in the Tax Act; (iii) an interest in which is a "tax shelter" as defined in the Tax Act; (iv) an interest in which would be a "tax shelter investment" as defined in the Tax Act; (v) that has made a functional currency reporting election under the Tax Act; (vi) that has entered or will enter into a "derivative forward agreement", a "synthetic equity arrangement" or a "synthetic disposition arrangement", as those terms are defined in the Tax Act; (vii) that receives dividends on Offered Shares under or as part of a "dividend rental arrangement" as defined in the Tax Act; (viii) that is a partnership; (ix) that is exempt from tax under Part I of the Tax Act; or (x) that is otherwise of special status or in special circumstances. Such Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to an investment in the Offered Shares.

Additional considerations, not discussed herein, may be applicable to a Holder that is a corporation resident in Canada, and is, or becomes (or does not deal at arm's length for purposes of the Tax Act with a corporation resident in Canada that is or becomes) as part of a transaction or event or series of transactions or events that includes the acquisition of the Offered Shares, controlled by a non-resident person, or group of non-resident persons not dealing with each other at arm's length, for purposes of the "foreign affiliate dumping" rules in section 212.3 of the Tax Act. Such Holders should consult their tax advisors with respect to the consequences of acquiring Offered Shares.

This summary does not address the deductibility of interest by a Holder who has borrowed money or otherwise incurred debt in connection with the acquisition of the Offered Shares.

This summary is based upon the current provisions of the Tax Act in force as of the date prior to the date hereof, an understanding of the current administrative policies and assessing practices of the Canada Revenue Agency (the "CRA") published in writing and made publicly available by the CRA prior to the date hereof, and all specific proposals to amend the Tax Act publicly and officially announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (the "Tax Proposals"). This summary assumes that the Tax Proposals will be enacted as proposed; however, no assurance can be given that the Tax Proposals will be enacted as proposed or at all. This summary does not otherwise take into account or anticipate any changes in law or the CRA's administrative policies or assessing practices, whether by legislative, governmental or judicial decision or action, nor does it take into account any provincial, territorial or foreign income tax legislation or considerations, which may differ materially from the Canadian federal income tax considerations described in this summary.

S-17


This summary is of a general nature only, is not exhaustive of all possible Canadian federal income tax considerations and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any particular Holder, and no representations concerning the tax consequences to any particular Holder are made. The tax consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of Offered Shares will vary according to the Holder's particular circumstances. Accordingly, Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to their particular circumstances. This summary does not address any tax considerations applicable to persons other than Holders and such persons should consult their own tax advisors regarding the consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of Offered Shares under the Tax Act and any jurisdiction in which they may be subject to tax.

Currency

Subject to certain exceptions that are not discussed herein, for purposes of the Tax Act, all amounts relating to the acquisition, holding or disposition of Offered Shares (including dividends, adjusted cost base and proceeds of disposition) must be expressed in Canadian dollars based on the relevant exchange rate as determined in accordance with the Tax Act.

Holders Resident in Canada

The following portion of this summary applies only to Holders who, for the purposes of the Tax Act and any applicable income tax treaty or convention, are or are deemed to be resident in Canada at all relevant times ("Resident Holders").

Certain Resident Holders who might not otherwise be considered to hold their Offered Shares as capital property may, in certain circumstances, be entitled to have such Offered Shares and any other "Canadian security" (as defined in the Tax Act) owned by such Resident Holder in the taxation year of the election and in all subsequent taxation years be treated as capital property by making the irrevocable election permitted by subsection 39(4) of the Tax Act. Resident Holders contemplating such election should consult their own tax advisors for advice as to whether it is available and, if available, whether it is advisable in their particular circumstances.

Dividends

Dividends received or deemed to be received on the Offered Shares will be included in computing a Resident Holder's income for the year. In the case of a Resident Holder who is an individual (other than certain trusts), such dividends will be subject to the gross-up and dividend tax credit rules normally applicable in respect of "taxable dividends" received by an individual from "taxable Canadian corporations" (as defined in the Tax Act), including the enhanced gross-up and dividend tax credit in respect of "eligible dividends" designated by the Corporation to the Resident Holder in accordance with the provisions of the Tax Act. There may be limitations on the ability of the Corporation to designate dividends as eligible dividends.

Dividends received or deemed to be received by a Resident Holder that is a corporation on the Offered Shares must be included in computing its income for the taxation year but generally will be deductible in computing its taxable income for the taxation year. In certain circumstances, subsection 55(2) of the Tax Act will treat a taxable dividend received or deemed to be received by a Resident Holder that is a corporation as proceeds of disposition or a capital gain. Resident Holders that are corporations should consult their own tax advisors having regard to their own circumstances.

A Resident Holder that is a "private corporation" (as defined in the Tax Act) or a "subject corporation" (as defined for the purposes of Part IV of the Tax Act), may be liable to pay an additional tax (refundable in certain circumstances) under Part IV of the Tax Act on dividends received or deemed to be received on the Offered Shares to the extent such dividends are deductible in computing the Resident Holder's taxable income for the taxation year.

S-18


A Resident Holder that is throughout the relevant taxation year a "Canadian-controlled private corporation" or that is at any time in the relevant taxation year a "substantive CCPC" (both as defined in the Tax Act) also may be liable to pay an additional tax (refundable in certain circumstances) on its "aggregate investment income" (as defined in the Tax Act) for the year which will include dividends received or deemed to be received in respect of the Offered Shares, but not dividends or deemed dividends that are deductible in computing the dividend recipient's taxable income.

Dispositions of Offered Shares

Upon a disposition (or a deemed disposition) of an Offered Share (other than to the Corporation, unless purchased by the Corporation in the open market in the manner in which shares are normally purchased by any member of the public in the open market), a Resident Holder generally will realize a capital gain (or a capital loss) in the taxation year of disposition equal to the amount by which the proceeds of disposition in respect of the Offered Share, net of any reasonable costs of disposition, are greater (or are less) than the adjusted cost base of such Offered Share to the Resident Holder immediately before the disposition. The adjusted cost base to a Resident Holder of an Offered Share will be determined by averaging the cost of that Offered Share with the adjusted cost base (determined immediately before the acquisition of the Offered Share) of all other Common Shares held as capital property at that time by the Resident Holder, if any. The tax treatment of capital gains and capital losses is discussed in greater detail below under the subheading "Capital Gains and Capital Losses".

Capital Gains and Capital Losses

Generally, one-half of any capital gain (a "taxable capital gain") realized by a Resident Holder in a taxation year must be included in computing the Resident Holder's income for the taxation year in which the disposition occurs. One-half of any capital loss (an "allowable capital loss") realized in a particular taxation year must be deducted against taxable capital gains realized by the Resident Holder in the year of disposition, in accordance with the detailed rules in the Tax Act. Allowable capital losses in excess of taxable capital gains realized in a particular taxation year may be carried back and deducted in any of the three preceding taxation years or carried forward and deducted in any subsequent taxation year against net taxable capital gains realized in such years, to the extent and under the circumstances described in the Tax Act.

The amount of any capital loss realized on the disposition or deemed disposition of Offered Shares by a Resident Holder that is a corporation may be reduced by the amount of dividends received or deemed to have been received by it on such Offered Shares or shares substituted for such Offered Shares to the extent and in the circumstances specified by the Tax Act. Similar rules may apply where an Offered Share is owned by a partnership or trust of which a corporation, trust or partnership is a member or beneficiary. Resident Holders to whom these rules may be relevant should consult their own tax advisors.

A Resident Holder that is throughout the relevant taxation year a "Canadian-controlled private corporation" or that is at any time in the relevant taxation year a "substantive CCPC" (both as defined in the Tax Act) also may be liable to pay an additional tax (refundable in certain circumstances) on its "aggregate investment income" (as defined in the Tax Act) for the year which will include certain amounts in respect of taxable capital gains.

Minimum Tax

Capital gains realized and taxable dividends received by a Resident Holder that is an individual or a trust, other than certain specified trusts, may give rise to minimum tax under the Tax Act. Resident Holders should consult their own advisors with respect to the application of the minimum tax.

Holders Not Resident in Canada

The following portion of this summary is applicable only to a Holder who, for purposes of the Tax Act and any applicable income tax treaty or convention and at all relevant times, is neither resident nor deemed to be resident in Canada and does not use or hold, and will not be deemed to use or hold, the Offered Shares in the course of carrying on, or otherwise in connection with, a business in Canada (a "Non-Resident Holder").

Special considerations, which are not discussed in this summary, may apply to a Non-Resident Holder that is an insurer that carries on (or is deemed to carry on) an insurance business in Canada and elsewhere or an "authorized foreign bank" (as defined in the Tax Act). Such Non-Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors.

S-19



Dividends

Dividends paid or credited (or deemed to be paid or credited under the Tax Act) to a Non-Resident Holder by the Corporation on Offered Shares will be subject to Canadian withholding tax at the rate of 25% on the gross amount of the dividend unless such rate is reduced by the terms of an applicable income tax treaty or convention. Under the Canada-United States Tax Convention (1980), as amended (the "Treaty"), the rate of withholding tax on dividends paid or credited to a Non-Resident Holder who is resident in the United States for purposes of the Treaty, who is the beneficial owner of the dividends and who is fully entitled to the benefits of the Treaty (a "U.S. Treaty Holder") is generally limited to 15% of the gross amount of the dividend (or 5% in the case of a U.S. Treaty Holder that is a corporation that beneficially owns at least 10% of the Corporation's voting shares). The Multilateral Convention to Implement Tax Treaty Related Measures to Prevent Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (the "MLI"), of which Canada is a signatory, affects many of Canada's tax treaties (but not the Treaty), including the ability to claim benefits thereunder. Non-Resident Holders should consult their tax advisors to determine their entitlement to relief under an applicable income tax treaty or convention based on their particular circumstances.

Dispositions of Offered Shares

A Non-Resident Holder will generally not be subject to tax under the Tax Act in respect of any capital gain (and will not be entitled to claim a capital loss) realized by such Non-Resident Holder on a disposition (or deemed disposition) of Offered Shares unless such Offered Shares constitute "taxable Canadian property" (as defined in the Tax Act) of the Non-Resident Holder at the time of the disposition and such Non-Resident Holder is not entitled to an exemption from tax pursuant to the terms of an applicable income tax treaty or convention at the time of the disposition (including as a result of the application of the MLI).

Generally, provided the Offered Shares are listed on a "designated stock exchange" as defined in the Tax Act (which currently includes the TSXV) at the time of disposition, the Offered Shares will not constitute taxable Canadian property of a Non-Resident Holder at such time, unless at any time during the 60-month period immediately preceding the disposition the following two conditions are met concurrently: (a) 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series of shares of the capital stock of the Corporation were owned by or belonged to one or any combination of (i) the Non-Resident Holder, (ii) persons with whom the Non-Resident Holder did not deal at arm's length (for the purposes of the Tax Act), and (iii) partnerships in which the Non-Resident Holder or a person described in (ii) holds a membership interest directly or indirectly through one or more partnerships, and (b) more than 50% of the fair market value of the Offered Shares was derived, directly or indirectly, from one or any combination of real or immovable property situated in Canada, "Canadian resource property" (as defined in the Tax Act), "timber resource property" (as defined in the Tax Act), and options in respect, of or interests in, or for civil law rights in, any such property (whether or not such property exists). The Tax Act may also deem the Offered Shares to be taxable Canadian property in certain circumstances.

Even if the Offered Shares are taxable Canadian property of a Non-Resident Holder, such Non-Resident Holder may be exempt from tax under the Tax Act on the disposition of such Offered Shares by virtue of an applicable income tax treaty or convention.

In cases where a Non-Resident Holder disposes (or is deemed to have disposed) of an Offered Shares that is taxable Canadian property to that Non-Resident Holder, and the Non-Resident Holder is not entitled to an exemption under an applicable income tax treaty or convention (including as a result of the application of the MLI), the consequences described above under the headings "Holders Resident in Canada - Dispositions of Offered Shares" and "Holders Resident in Canada - Capital Gains and Capital Losses" will generally be applicable to such disposition.

Non-Resident Holders whose Offered Shares are or may be taxable Canadian property should consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax and compliance considerations that may be relevant to them.

S-20


certain u.s. federal income tax considerations

The following discussion describes certain U.S. federal income tax considerations to U.S. Holders (as defined below) under current U.S. federal income tax law of an investment in the Offered Shares acquired pursuant to the Offering. The effects of any applicable state or local laws, or other U.S. federal tax laws such as estate and gift tax laws, or the Medicare contribution tax on net investment income or the alternative minimum tax, are not discussed. This summary applies only to investors who acquire and hold the Offered Shares as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment) and who have the U.S. Dollar as their functional currency. This discussion is based on the Code, U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial decisions, published rulings and administrative pronouncements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"), all as in effect as of the date of this Prospectus Supplement. All of the foregoing authorities are subject to change, which change could apply retroactively and could adversely affect the tax consequences described below.

The following discussion does not address all U.S. federal income tax considerations relevant to a holder's particular circumstances or to holders subject to particular rules, including, without limitation:

  • U.S. expatriates and certain former citizens or long-term residents of the United States;
  • persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. Dollar;
  • persons holding the Offered Shares as part of a hedge, straddle or other risk reduction strategy or as part of a conversion transaction or other integrated investment;
  • banks, insurance companies and other financial institutions;
  • real estate investment trusts or regulated investment companies;
  • brokers, dealers or traders in securities, commodities or currencies;
  • S corporations or entities or arrangements treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes;
  • tax-exempt organizations or governmental organizations;
  • individual retirement accounts or other tax-deferred accounts;
  • persons who acquired the Offered Shares pursuant to the exercise of any employee share option or otherwise as compensation;
  • persons that own or are deemed to own 10% or more of the Corporation's stock by vote or value directly, indirectly or constructively;
  • persons subject to special tax accounting rules as a result of any item of gross income with respect to the Offered Shares being taken into account in an applicable financial statement;
  • persons that hold Offered Shares through a permanent establishment or fixed base outside the United States; and
  • persons deemed to sell Offered Shares under the constructive sale provisions of the Code.
S-21


For purposes of this discussion, a "U.S. Holder" is a beneficial owner of Offered Shares that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is or is treated as any of the following: (i) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States; (ii) a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia; (iii) an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or (iv) a trust that (1) is subject to the supervision of a U.S. court and the control of one or more "United States persons" (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), or (2) has a valid election in effect to be treated as a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

If an investor is an entity taxable as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such investor's tax treatment generally will depend on the activities of the partnership. Partnerships holding Offered Shares and the partners in such partnerships should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable to them.

EACH U.S. HOLDER SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE APPLICATION OF THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX RULES TO THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES AS WELL AS THE U.S. STATE AND LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF THE OFFERED SHARES.

Non-U.S. Holders

For purposes of this summary, a “non-U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of Offered Shares that is not a U.S. Holder or is a partnership. This summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences to non-U.S. Holders arising from and relating to the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Offered Shares. Accordingly, a non-U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal, state and local, and non-U.S. tax consequences (including the potential application of and operation of any income tax treaties) relating to the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Offered Shares.

Taxation of dividends and other distributions on the Offered Shares

The discussion in this section "Taxation of dividends and other distributions on the Offered Shares" is subject to the discussion regarding PFICs below.

The gross amount of any distribution to a U.S. Holder with respect to the Offered Shares, including any non-U.S. taxes withheld from the amount paid, will be included in such U.S. Holder's gross income as dividend income when actually or constructively received to the extent that the distribution is paid out of the Corporation's current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined applying U.S. federal income tax principles). To the extent the amount of the distribution exceeds the Corporation's current and accumulated earnings and profits, it will be treated first as a return of a U.S. Holder's tax basis in the Offered Shares, and to the extent the amount of the distribution exceeds the tax basis, as capital gain. The Corporation does not intend to calculate its earnings and profits applying U.S. federal income tax principles. Therefore, a U.S. Holder should expect that distributions will generally be reported as ordinary dividend income. Dividends paid by the Corporation will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction available to corporations in respect of dividends received from U.S. corporations.

Subject to certain holding period and other limitations, dividends the Corporation pays to certain non-corporate U.S. Holders may be "qualified dividend income" taxable for regular U.S. federal income tax purposes at preferential tax rates. Non-corporate U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisers regarding the availability of the reduced tax rate on dividends.

The amount of any dividend paid in Canadian dollars (including amounts withheld to pay Canadian withholding taxes) will equal the U.S. dollar value of the Canadian dollars calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the date the dividend is received by the U.S. Holder, regardless of whether the Canadian dollars are converted into U.S. dollars. A U.S. Holder will have a tax basis in the Canadian dollars equal to their U.S. dollar value on the date of receipt. If the Canadian dollars received are converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, the U.S. Holder generally should not be required to recognize foreign currency gain or loss in respect of the distribution. If the Canadian dollars received are not converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. Holder may recognize foreign currency gain or loss on a subsequent conversion or other disposition of the Canadian dollars. Such gain or loss will be treated as ordinary income or loss and, in the case of a foreign currency loss of a non-corporate U.S. Holder, may be a non-deductible investment expense.

Dividends will generally constitute foreign source income for foreign tax credit limitation purposes. Any tax withheld with respect to distributions on the Offered Shares may, subject to a number of complex limitations, be claimed as a foreign tax credit against such U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability or may be claimed as a deduction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The limitation on foreign taxes eligible for credit is calculated separately with respect to specific classes of income. For this purpose, dividends generally will constitute "passive category income." The rules with respect to the foreign tax credit are complex and may depend upon a U.S. Holder's particular circumstances. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisor regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under their particular circumstances.

S-22


Taxation of disposition of the Offered Shares

The discussion in this section "Taxation of disposition of Offered Shares" is subject to the discussion regarding PFICs below.

A U.S. Holder will recognize gain or loss on any sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of the Offered Shares equal to the difference between the amount realized (in U.S. Dollars) on the disposition and such holder's tax basis (in U.S. Dollars) in the Offered Shares. Any such gain or loss will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if such U.S. Holder has held the Offered Shares for more than one year at the time of the disposition. Otherwise, such gain or loss will be short-term capital gain or loss. Long-term capital gain recognized by certain non-corporate U.S. Holders, including individuals, generally will be taxable at reduced rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Any such gain or loss generally will be treated as U.S. source income or loss for foreign tax credit limitation purposes. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the proper treatment of gain or loss in their particular circumstances.

Passive Foreign Investment Company

A non-United States corporation will be a “passive foreign investment company“ (a “PFIC”)  for U.S. federal income tax purposes for any taxable year if, after applying certain look-through rules with respect to subsidiaries in which the corporation owns at least 25% (by vote or value) of the stock, either: (i) at least 75% of its gross income for such taxable year is passive income, or (ii) at least 50% of the total value of its assets (generally based on an average of the quarterly values of the assets during such year) is attributable to assets, including cash, that produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income.

If the Corporation is classified as a PFIC for any year during a U.S. Holder’s holding period, then certain adverse rules will affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder of the Offered Shares. The Corporation believes that it was classified as a PFIC for its most recently completed tax year, and based on current business plans and financial expectations, believes that it may be a PFIC for its current tax year and possibly in subsequent tax years. The determination of whether the Corporation was, or will be, a PFIC for a tax year depends, in part, on the application of complex U.S. federal income tax rules, which are subject to differing interpretations.  In addition, whether the Corporation will be a PFIC for the current tax year or any future tax year depends on the assets and income of the Corporation over the course of each such tax year and, as a result, cannot be predicted with certainty as of the date of this Prospectus Supplement. No opinion of legal counsel or ruling from the IRS concerning the Corporation’s status as a PFIC has been obtained or is currently planned to be requested. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Corporation will not be a PFIC for the current tax year or any future tax year or that the IRS will not challenge any determination made by the Corporation (or any of its subsidiaries) concerning the Corporation’s (or its subsidiaries’) PFIC status. Each U.S. Holder contemplating an investment in the Offered Shares should consult their own tax advisor regarding the Corporation’s (or its subsidiaries’) PFIC status and the resulting U.S. federal income tax consequences in light of their own particular circumstances.

If the Corporation is classified as a PFIC for any taxable year during a U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Offered Shares, it generally will continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to such holder’s investment in the Offered Shares for all succeeding years during which such holder holds the Offered Shares. In that event, a U.S. Holder would (unless it made one of the elections discussed below on a timely basis) be taxable on gain recognized on a disposition of the Offered Shares and upon receipt of certain “excess distributions” (generally, distributions that exceed 125% of the average amount of distributions in respect of the Offered Shares received during the preceding three taxable years or, if shorter, during the U.S. Holder’s holding period prior to the distribution year) as if such income had been recognized ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period. Tax would be computed on such income at the highest ordinary income tax rate in effect for each taxable year to which income is allocated, and an interest charge on the tax as so computed would also apply.

Alternatively, if the Corporation is a PFIC and the Offered Shares are “regularly traded” on a “qualified exchange,” as defined by applicable Treasury regulations, a U.S. Holder can make a mark-to-market election that will result in tax treatment of the Offered Shares different from the general tax treatment for PFICs described in the preceding paragraph. The Corporation’s Offered Shares will be treated as “regularly traded” for any calendar year in which more than a de minimis quantity of Offered Shares are traded on a qualified exchange on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter.  The Corporation believes that the Offered Shares are currently traded on a qualified exchange.

If a U.S. Holder makes the mark-to-market election, the U.S. Holder generally will recognize as ordinary income any excess of the fair market value of the Offered Shares at the end of each taxable year over their adjusted tax basis, and will recognize and ordinary loss in respect of any excess of the adjusted tax basis of the Offered Shares over their fair market value at the end of the taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of income previously included as a result of the mark-to-market election).  If a U.S. Holder makes the election, the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Offered Shares will be adjusted to reflect the income or loss amounts recognized.  Any gain recognized on an actual sale or other disposition of Offered Shares will be treated as ordinary income and any loss will be treated as an ordinary loss (but only to the extent of the net amount of income previously included as a result of the mark-to-market election), with any excess treated as a capital loss.  Because a mark-to-market election cannot be made for equity interests in any lower-tier PFICs that are owned by the Corporation, a U.S. Holder generally will continue to be subject to the PFIC rules with respect to such holder’s indirect interest in any investments held by the Corporation that are treated as an equity interest in a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes

S-23



Prospective investors should consult their tax advisor as to the availability and desirability of a mark-to-market election, as well as the impact of such election on interests in any lower-tier PFICs.

As an alternative to the tax treatment described above, a U.S. Holder could elect to treat the Corporation as a “qualified electing fund” (a “QEF”), in which case the U.S. Holder would be taxed currently, for each taxable year that the Corporation is a PFIC, on its pro rata share of the Corporation’s ordinary earnings and net capital gain (subject to a separate election to defer payment of taxes, which deferral is subject to an interest charge). Special rules apply if a U.S. Holder makes a QEF election after the first taxable year of its holding period in which the Corporation is a PFIC. The Corporation intends to use reasonable efforts to furnish U.S. Holder with information reasonably requested by such U.S. Holder to permit the U.S. Holder to make and maintain a QEF election.

If the Corporation is a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder owns Offered Shares, it generally will continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to the U.S. Holder for all succeeding years even if it ceases to meet the requirements for PFIC status. Notwithstanding any election made with respect to the Offered Shares, if the Corporation is a PFIC in either the taxable year of the distribution or the preceding taxable year, dividends received with respect to the Offered Shares will not qualify as “qualified dividends” eligible for taxation at reduced U.S. federal income tax rates.

A U.S. Holder of a PFIC is required to file an IRS Form 8621. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the potential application of the PFIC rules to an investment in the Offered Shares.

The PFIC rules are very complex.  The Corporation offers no opinion or representation of any kind with respect to its PFIC status.  Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor with respect to the PFIC rules, including the impact of such status on such U.S. Holder, in light of such U.S. Holder’s particular tax situation, and whether to make and the availability of any of the elections described above.

Information reporting and backup withholding

Dividend payments (including constructive dividends) with respect to the Offered Shares and proceeds from the sale, exchange or other disposition of the Offered Shares may be subject to information reporting to the IRS and U.S. backup withholding. Certain U.S. Holders are exempt from backup withholding, including corporations and certain tax-exempt organizations. A U.S. Holder will be subject to backup withholding if such holder is not otherwise exempt and such holder: (i) fails to furnish the holder’s taxpayer identification number, which for an individual is ordinarily his or her social security number; (ii) furnishes an incorrect taxpayer identification number; (iii) is notified by the IRS that the holder previously failed to properly report payments of interest or dividends; or (iv) fails to certify under penalties of perjury that the holder has furnished a correct taxpayer identification number and that the IRS has not notified the holder that the holder is subject to backup withholding.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against the U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding their qualification for an exemption from backup withholding and the procedures for obtaining such an exemption.

Additional reporting requirements

Certain U.S. Holders who are individuals (and certain entities) that hold an interest in “specified foreign financial assets” (which may include the Offered Shares) are required to report information relating to such assets, subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for Offered Shares held in accounts maintained by certain financial institutions). Penalties can apply if U.S. Holders fail to comply with such reporting requirements. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the applicability of these requirements to their acquisition and ownership of Offered Shares.

THE ABOVE SUMMARY IS NOT INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE A COMPLETE ANALYSIS OF ALL TAX CONSIDERATIONS APPLICABLE TO U.S. HOLDERS WITH RESPECT TO THE ACQUISITION, OWNERSHIP, AND DISPOSITION OF THE OFFERED SHARES. U.S. HOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE TAX CONSIDERATIONS APPLICABLE TO THEM IN THEIR OWN PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

S-24


RISK FACTORS

An investment in the Offered Shares, as well as the Corporation's prospects, are speculative due to the risky nature of its business and the present stage of its development. Investors may lose their entire investment.

Investors should carefully consider the risk factors described below and under the heading "Risk Factors" in the AIF. The risks described below and in the AIF are not the only ones facing the Corporation. Additional risks not currently known to the Corporation, or that the Corporation currently deems immaterial, may also impair the Corporation's operations. There is no assurance that risk management steps taken will avoid future loss due to the occurrence of the risks described below or other unforeseen risks. If any of the risks described below or in the AIF actually occur, the Corporation's business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected. Investors should carefully consider the risks below, in the AIF, and the other information elsewhere in this Prospectus Supplement and in the Prospectus and consult with their professional advisors to assess any investment in the Corporation.

Nature of Mineral Exploration and Development.

The Corporation's future is dependent on its exploration and development programs. The exploration and development of mineral deposits involve significant financial risks over a prolonged period of time, which may not be eliminated even through a combination of careful evaluation, experience and knowledge. Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into economically viable operating mines. Major expenditures on the Corporation's exploration properties may be required to construct mining and processing facilities at a site, and it is possible that even preliminary due diligence will show adverse results, leading to the abandonment of projects. It is impossible to ensure that preliminary or full feasibility studies on the Corporation's projects, or the current or proposed exploration programs on any of the properties in which the Corporation has exploration rights, will result in any profitable commercial mining operations. The Corporation cannot give any assurance that its current and future exploration activities will result in a discovery of mineral deposits containing mineral reserves.

Estimates of mineral resources and any potential determination as to whether a mineral deposit will be commercially viable can also be affected by such factors as: the particular attributes of the deposit, such as its size and grade; unusual or unexpected geological formations and metallurgy; proximity to infrastructure; financing costs; metal prices, which are highly volatile; and governmental regulations, including those relating to prices, taxes, royalties, infrastructure, land use, importing and exporting of metal concentrates, exchange controls and environmental protection. The effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of any or all of these factors may result in the Corporation not receiving an adequate return on its invested capital or suffering material adverse effects to its business and financial condition. Exploration and development projects also face significant operational risks including but not limited to an inability to obtain access rights to properties, accidents, equipment breakdowns, labour disputes (including work stoppages and strikes), and other unanticipated interruptions.

A positive return in an investment in the Offered Shares is not guaranteed.

There is no guarantee that an investment in the Offered Shares will earn any positive return in the short term or long term. An investment in the Offered Shares involves a high degree of risk and should be undertaken only by investors whose financial resources are sufficient to enable them to assume such risks and who have no need for immediate liquidity in their investment. An investment in the Offered Shares is appropriate only for investors who have the capacity to absorb a loss of some or all of their investment.

The Corporation has broad discretion to use the net proceeds from this Offering and the Concurrent Private Placement.

The Corporation intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering and the Concurrent Private Placement to achieve its stated business objective as set forth under "Use of Proceeds". The Corporation maintains discretion to spend the net proceeds in ways that it deems most efficient. The application of the net proceeds to various items may not necessarily enhance the value of the Common Shares. The failure to apply the net proceeds as set forth under "Use of Proceeds", or the failure of the Corporation to achieve its stated business objectives set forth in such section, could adversely affect the Corporation's business and, consequently, could adversely affect the price of the Common Shares on the open market.

S-25



Market price of the Common Shares may be volatile.

There can be no assurance that an active market for the Common Shares, including the Offered Shares, will be sustained after the Offering and the Concurrent Private Placement. Securities markets have a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market price of securities of many companies have experienced wide fluctuations in price which have not necessarily been related to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. It may be anticipated that any market for the Common Shares will be subject to market trends generally and the value of the Common Shares on the TSXV and on the Nasdaq may be affected by such volatility in response to numerous factors. Factors unrelated to the financial performance or prospects of the Corporation include macroeconomic developments, and market perceptions of the attractiveness of particular industries. There can be no assurance that continued fluctuations in commodity prices will not occur. As a result of any of these factors, the market price of the securities of the Corporation at any given point in time may not accurately reflect the long-term value of the Corporation. In addition, the market price of the Common Shares is also likely to be significantly affected by changes, from time to time, in the Corporation's operating results, financial condition, acquisition opportunities, liquidity and other internal factors.

Future sales or issuances of securities will result in dilution of the equity interests and may negatively impact the market price of the Common Shares.

Additional financing needed to continue funding the advancement, exploration and development of the properties of the Corporation may require the issuance of additional securities of the Corporation. The issuance of additional securities and the exercise of common share purchase warrants, stock options and other convertible securities will result in dilution of the equity interests of any persons who are or may become holders of Common Shares and may have a negative impact on the market price of the Common Shares.

The Corporation depends on its ability to secure additional financing to achieve its objectives and meet its obligations.

The Corporation's ability to continue its business operations is dependent on management's ability to secure additional financing. The Corporation's only source of liquidity is its cash and cash equivalent balances. Liquidity requirements are managed based upon forecasted cash flows to ensure that there is sufficient working capital to meet the Corporation's obligations.

The advancement, exploration, and development of the Corporation's properties, including continuing exploration and development projects, and, if warranted, construction of mining facilities and the commencement of mining operations, will require substantial additional financing. As a result, the Corporation may be required to seek additional sources of equity financing in the near future. While the Corporation has been successful in raising such financing in the past, its ability to raise additional equity financing may be affected by numerous factors beyond its control including, but not limited to, adverse market conditions, commodity price changes, and economic downturns. There can be no assurance that the Corporation will be successful in obtaining any additional financing required to continue its business operations and/or to maintain its property interests, or that such financing will be sufficient to meet the Corporation's objectives or obtained on terms favourable to the Corporation. Failure to obtain sufficient financing as and when required may result in the delay or indefinite postponement of exploration and/or development on any or all of the Corporation's properties, or even a loss of property interest, which would have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's business, financial condition, and results of operations.

S-26



A U.S. holder of Offered Shares may suffer adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences if the Corporation is a “passive foreign investment company.”

The Corporation would be classified as a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) for any taxable year if, after the application of certain look-through rules with respect to the income and assets of the Corporation’s corporate subsidiaries in which the Corporation owns at least 25% (by value) of the stock, either: (i) 75% or more of the Corporation’s gross income for such year is “passive income” (as defined in the relevant provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)), or (ii) 50% or more of the value of the Corporation’s assets (generally determined on the basis of a quarterly average) during such year is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income. Based on the Corporation’s income and assets for the year ended December 31, 2025, the Corporation believes that it was classified as a PFIC for that year, and based on current business plans and financial expectations, believes that it may be a PFIC for its current tax year and possibly in subsequent tax years. The determination of whether the Corporation was, or will be, a PFIC for a tax year depends, in part, on the application of complex U.S. federal income tax rules, which are subject to differing interpretations.  In addition, whether the Corporation will be a PFIC for the current tax year or any future tax year depends on the assets and income of the Corporation over the course of each such tax year and, as a result, cannot be predicted with certainty as of the date of this Prospectus Supplement. No opinion of legal counsel or ruling from the IRS concerning the Corporation’s status as a PFIC has been obtained or is currently planned to be requested. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Corporation will not be a PFIC for the current tax year or any future tax year or that the IRS will not challenge any determination made by the Corporation (or any of its subsidiaries) concerning the Corporation’s (or its subsidiaries’) PFIC status.  Certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences could apply to a U.S. Holder (as defined under the heading Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations) if the Corporation is treated as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds the Offered Shares. See Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations – Passive Foreign Investment Company. Each U.S. Holder contemplating an investment in the Offered Shares should consult their own tax advisor regarding the Corporation’s (or its subsidiaries’) PFIC status and the resulting U.S. federal income tax consequences in light of their own particular circumstances.

If a U.S. holder is treated as owning at least 10% of the Offered Shares and the Corporation is a “controlled foreign corporation,” such holder may be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences.

If a U.S. holder is treated as owning, directly, indirectly or constructively, at least 10% of the value or voting power of the Offered Shares, such U.S. holder may be treated as a “United States shareholder” with respect to each “controlled foreign corporation” in the Corporation's group, if any. Generally, a controlled foreign corporation is any foreign corporation if more than 50% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of such corporation entitled to vote, or more than 50% of the total value of the stock of the corporation, is owned (directly or indirectly, and applying certain attribution rules) by one or more “United States Shareholders”.  The term “United States Shareholder” means a United States person who or that owns (directly or indirectly, and applying certain attribution rules) 10% or more of the stock of the foreign corporation.

A United States shareholder of a controlled foreign corporation may be required to annually report and include in its U.S. taxable income its pro rata share of “Subpart F income,” “net CFC tested global intangible low-taxed income” and investments in U.S. property by controlled foreign corporations, regardless of whether the controlled foreign corporation makes any distributions. An individual who is a United States shareholder with respect to a controlled foreign corporation generally would not be allowed certain tax deductions or foreign tax credits that would be allowed to a United States shareholder that is a U.S. corporation. Failure to comply with these reporting obligations may subject a United States shareholder to significant monetary penalties and may prevent the running of the statute of limitations with respect to such shareholder's U.S. federal income tax return for the year for which reporting was due. The Corporation cannot provide any assurances that it will assist its investors in determining whether it or any of its non-U.S. subsidiaries are treated as a controlled foreign corporation or whether any investor is treated as a United States shareholder with respect to any of such controlled foreign corporations. Further, the Corporation cannot provide any assurances that it will furnish to any U.S. holder information that may be necessary to comply with the reporting and tax paying obligations described in this risk factor. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the potential application of these rules to their investment in the Offered Shares.

It may be difficult for U.S. purchasers to effect service of process, or enforce, any judgments obtained against the Corporation or its officers, directors and experts.

The Corporation is incorporated under the BCBCA and is governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. In addition, most of the Corporations directors and officers, and some or all of the experts named in this Prospectus Supplement, are residents of Canada or otherwise reside outside of the United States, and a substantial portion of their assets, and a substantial portion of the Corporation's assets, are located outside the United States. The Corporation has appointed Cogency Global Inc. as its agent for service of process in the United States, but it may be difficult for purchasers who reside in the United States to effect service within the United States upon those directors, officers and experts who are not residents of the United States. It may also be difficult for purchasers who reside in the United States to realize in the United States upon judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon the Corporation's civil liability and the civil liability of the Corporation's directors and officers and experts under the United States federal securities laws.

S-27


The Corporation has been advised by its Canadian counsel, Bennett Jones LLP, that a judgment of a United States court predicated solely upon civil liability under United States federal securities laws would generally be recognized and be enforceable in Canada provided that the United States court in which the judgment was obtained has a basis for jurisdiction in the matter that would be recognized by a Canadian court for the same purposes. The Corporation has also been advised by Bennett Jones LLP, however, that there is uncertainty as to whether an action could be brought in Canada in the first instance on the basis of liability predicated solely upon United States federal securities laws.

AUDITORS, TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR

MNP LLP, having an address of 1 Adelaide Street East, Suite 1900, Toronto, Ontario, M5C 2V9, is the current auditor of the Corporation, having audited the Corporation’s financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2025, and has confirmed that they are independent within the meaning of the Chartered Professional Accountants of Ontario CPA Code of Professional Conduct (registered name of The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ontario).

Davidson & Company LLP, having an address of 609 Granville Street, Suite 1200, Vancouver, British Columbia, V7Y 1H4, is the former auditor of the Corporation (until April 21, 2025), having audited the Corporation’s financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, and has confirmed that, at the time of their audit, they were independent within the meaning of the Chartered Professional Accountants of Ontario CPA Code of Professional Conduct (registered name of The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ontario). Davidson & Company LLP resigned effective on April 21, 2025, and were succeeded by MNP LLP.

The registrar and transfer agent for the Corporation is Odyssey Trust Company, located at 300 5th Avenue SW, Suite 1230, Calgary, Alberta, T2P 3C4.

LEGAL MATTERS

Certain Canadian legal matters in connection with the Offering will be passed upon on behalf of the Corporation by Bennett Jones LLP and on behalf of the Underwriters by Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, and certain U.S. legal matters in connection with the Offering will be passed upon on behalf of the Corporation by Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP and on behalf of the Underwriters by Allen Overy Shearman Sterling US LLP.

INTERESTS OF EXPERTS

As of the date hereof, the "designated professionals" (as such term is defined in Form 51-102F2 – Annual Information Form) of each of (i) Bennett Jones LLP, (ii) Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, and (iii) Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP, as respective groups, beneficially own, directly and indirectly, less than one percent of the outstanding securities of the Corporation or any associate or affiliate of the Corporation.

PURCHASERS' STATUTORY RIGHTS OF WITHDRAWAL AND RESCISSION

Securities legislation in certain of the provinces and territories of Canada provides purchasers with the right to withdraw from an agreement to purchase securities. This right may be exercised within two business days after the later of (a) the date that the issuer (i) filed the prospectus or any amendment on SEDAR+ and a receipt is issued and posted for the document, and (ii) issued and filed a news release on SEDAR+ announcing that the document is accessible through SEDAR+, and (b) the date that the purchaser or subscriber has entered into an agreement to purchase the securities or a contract to purchase or a subscription for the securities. In several of the provinces and territories of Canada, the securities legislation further provides a purchaser with remedies for rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revisions of the price or damages if the prospectus and any amendment contains a misrepresentation or is not delivered to the purchaser, provided that such remedies for rescission, revision of the price or damages are exercised by the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by the securities legislation of the purchaser's province or territory. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser's province or territory for the particulars of these rights or consult with a legal advisor.
 

In an offering of Common Shares, investors are cautioned that the statutory right of action for damages for a misrepresentation contained in this Prospectus Supplement is limited, in certain provincial and territorial securities legislation, to the price at which the Offered Share is offered to the public under the Offering. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser's province or territory for the particulars of this right of action for damages or consult with a legal advisor. The foregoing is a summary of certain rights available to purchasers under applicable Canadian securities legislation and such rights may not be available to, or enforceable by, investors in the United States.

Forward-looking information is based on the opinions, assumptions and estimates of management considered reasonable at the date the statements are made and are inherently subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other known and unknown factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those described in, or implied by, the forward-looking information. These factors, including, but not limited to: inherent risks associated with the business of exploring, development and mining; errors in management's geological modelling; the inability of the Corporation to capitalize on mineralization on its properties in a manner that is economic; the timing and ability (if at all) to complete further exploration activities, including drilling; development, infrastructure, operating or technical difficulties on any of the Corporation's properties; risks relating to costs, timing and ability (if at all) to advance the properties of the Corporation differing materially from estimates; the inability to obtain all authorizations and permits needed to continue advancing the Corporation's properties in a timely manner (or at all); failure of the Corporation to complete any further studies for the Blue Moon Property (as defined herein) and the Nussir Property (as defined herein) in the timing contemplated (or at all); risks relating to the key assumptions, parameters, limitations and methods used in the Blue Moon Technical Report (as defined herein) and the Nussir Technical Report (as defined herein), including the mineral resources estimates contained therein; the prospects, if any, of the Blue Moon Property and the Nussir Property mineral deposits; the potential to extend mineralization down-plunge and at depth; the ability of exploration work (including drilling) to accurately predict mineralization; upgrading an inferred mineral resource to a measured mineral resource or indicated mineral resource category; the results of exploration activities; the global economic climate; dilution; environmental risks; community and non-governmental actions; fluctuations in currency markets; social acceptability or the Corporation's projects; fluctuations in commodity prices; risks relating to capital market conditions and the ability of the Corporation to access sufficient capital on favourable terms or at all; changes in law, rules and regulations applicable to the Corporation and its operations; taxation, controls and regulations; risks relating to outbreaks of diseases and public health crises; risks relating to international conflict, geopolitical instability of war; risks relating to any imposition of tariffs or other trade restrictions; political or economic developments in Canada, the United States, Norway or in other countries in which the Corporation does business or may carry on business in the future; risks relating to foreign operations and enforcement of judgments; operating or technical difficulties in connection with exploration or development activities; employee relations; information systems security threats; the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development; obtaining necessary licenses and permits; contests over title to properties, especially title to undeveloped properties; the inherent risks involved in the exploration and development of mineral properties; the uncertainties involved in interpreting drill results and other geological data; environmental hazards; industrial accidents; unusual or unexpected formations, pressures, cave-ins and flooding; limitations of insurance coverage and the possibility of cost overruns or unanticipated costs and expenses, as well as those risk factors discussed or referred to in this Prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference into this Prospectus and those described in a Prospectus Supplement relating to a specific offering of Securities.


Although Blue Moon has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in, or implied by, the forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. The reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking information. The forward-looking information contained herein is presented for the purpose of assisting investors in understanding Blue Moon's expected financial and operational performance and Blue Moon's plans and objectives and may not be appropriate for other purposes.

 

All forward-looking information contained in this Prospectus, any Prospectus Supplement, and the documents incorporated by reference in this Prospectus is given as of the date hereof or thereof, as the case may be, and is based upon the opinions and estimates of management and information available to management of the Corporation as at the date hereof or thereof. The Corporation undertakes no obligation to update or revise the forward-looking information contained in this Prospectus, any Prospectus Supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable laws. Investors should read this entire Prospectus, and each applicable Prospectus Supplement and consult their own professional advisors to ascertain and assess the income tax and legal risks and other aspects of their investment in the Securities.

 

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES

 

The Corporation uses certain non-IFRS (as defined herein) performance measures in this Prospectus or in documents incorporated by reference herein, such as "working capital", "cash costs", "all-in sustaining cost" and "all in costs". These are common performance measure but may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers as it has no meaning under the IFRS Accounting Standards ("IFRS"). Working capital is calculated as the value of total current assets less the value of total current liabilities. Cash costs include mining, processing, refining, general and administration cots and royalties but exclude depreciation, reclamation, income taxes, capital and exploration costs for the life of the mine. All-in sustaining costs is defined as direct production costs plus general and administrative, exploration and evaluation, other expenses and sustaining capital expenditures. All-in costs includes all-in sustaining costs as well as initial capital. These terms do not have any standardized meaning according to IFRS and therefore many not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The Corporation believes that these non-IFRS measures provides information useful to its shareholders in the understanding the Corporation's performance and may assist in the evaluation of the Corporation's business relative to that of its peers. The Corporation believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain investors use this information to evaluate the Corporation's performance, profitability and ability to generate cash flow. Accordingly, it is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Technical Information

 

The Corporation's material properties, as determined by National Instrument 43-101 – Standards for Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"), are the Blue Moon zinc-copper-gold-silver property in California, USA (the "Blue Moon Property") and the Nussir copper-gold-silver property in Norway (the "Nussir Property").

 

Except as otherwise indicated, all scientific and technical information relating to the Blue Moon Property and the Nussir Property, including disclosure of mineral reserves and mineral resources, contained in this Prospectus or in any of the documents incorporated by reference in this Prospectus is supported by, as applicable:

 

·

Blue Moon Property: the technical report entitled "NI 43-101 Technical Report for the Preliminary Economic Assessment of the Blue Moon Mine, Mariposa County, California" dated April 14, 2025 (as amended and restated on September 12, 2025) with an effective date of March 3, 2025 (the "Blue Moon Technical Report"), prepared by Scott Wilson, C.P.G. SME-RM; Peter Szkilnyk, P.Eng.; Alan J. San Martin, P.Eng.; Richard Gowans, P.Eng.; Justin Taylor, P.Eng.; and Christopher Jacobs, C.Eng., MIMMM.

 

·

Nussir Property: the technical report entitled "Report NI 43-101 Technical Report On The Mineral Resources Of The Nussir And Ulveryggen Projects, Norway" dated January 24, 2025 (as amended and restated on September 12, 2025) with an effective date of January 20, 2025 (the "Nussir Technical Report", together with the Blue Moon Technical Report, the "Technical Reports"), prepared by Adam Wheeler, B.Sc., M.Sc., C. Eng., Eur Ing., FIMMM.

 

The Technical Reports are subject to certain assumptions, qualifications and procedures described therein. Reference should be made to the full text of the Blue Moon Technical Report and the Nussir Technical Report, which have been filed and can be reviewed on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) under the Corporation's issuer profile. The Technical Reports are not, and shall not be deemed to be, incorporated by reference in this Prospectus or any of the documents incorporated by reference herein. Scientific and technical information relating to the Blue Moon Property and the Nussir Property is supported by technical information contained in the Corporation's AIF, as incorporated by reference herein. See "Documents Incorporated by Reference".

 

All scientific and technical information relating to the Blue Moon Property and the Nussir Property, including disclosure of mineral reserves and mineral resources, contained in this Prospectus or in any of the documents incorporated by reference in this Prospectus, is based on (i) information contained in the technical reports referred to above, which have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of NI 43-101, and (ii) other information that has been prepared by or under the supervision of "qualified persons" (as such term is defined in NI 43-101) and included in this Prospectus with the consent of such persons.


Actual recoveries of mineral products may differ from reported mineral reserves and resources due to inherent uncertainties in acceptable estimating techniques. In particular, "indicated" and "inferred" mineral resources have a greater amount of uncertainty as to their existence, economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an "indicated" or "inferred" mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category of resource or, ultimately, a reserve. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability and are exclusive of mineral reserves. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of a mineral deposit with resources in these categories will ever be converted into proven or probable reserves.

On June 7, 2007, common shares of the Corporation (the "Common Shares") commenced trading on the TSXV under the symbol "SVT". On July 4, 2017, the Corporation changed its name to "Blue Moon Zinc Corp." and in connection with the name change, the Common Shares commenced trading under a new symbol "MOON" on July 5, 2017.


As of the date of this Prospectus, the Corporation is a reporting issuer in Alberta, British Columbia and Québec.


The Common Shares are listed for trading on the TSXV under the symbol "MOON", the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol "8SX0", and the OTCQX Best Market under the symbol "BMOOF". See "Market for Securities".


The Corporation's registered office is located at 2700-1133 Melville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6E 4E5 and its head office is located at 220 Bay Street, Suite 550, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5J 2W4.

Recent Developments


There have been no further material developments in the business of the Corporation since the date of the AIF that have not otherwise been disclosed in this Prospectus or the documents incorporated by reference herein. A summary of developments over the past three fiscal years can be found in the section entitled "General Development of the Business" in the AIF, which is available on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) under Blue Moon's issuer profile.


Consolidated Capitalization


The applicable Prospectus Supplement will describe any material change in, and the effect of such material change on, the share and loan capitalization of the Corporation since the date of the Corporation's financial statements for its most recently completed financial period included in such Prospectus Supplement, including any material change that will result from the issuance of Securities pursuant to such Prospectus Supplement.


Use Of Proceeds


The net proceeds to the Corporation from any offering of Securities, the proposed use of those proceeds, and the specific business objectives which the Corporation expects to accomplish with such proceeds will be set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement relating to that offering of Securities.


As outlined in the Annual Financial Statements and Interim Financial Statements, the Corporation has negative cash flow from operating activities. See "Risk Factors". The Corporation anticipates that negative operating cash flows will continue until such time as profitable commercial production can be achieved on the Corporation's properties. Each applicable Prospectus Supplement will contain specific information concerning whether, and if so, to what extent, the Corporation will use the proceeds of the distribution to fund any anticipated negative cash flow from operating activities in future periods.


There may be circumstances where, on the basis of results obtained or for other sound business reasons, a re-allocation of funds may be necessary or prudent. Accordingly, management of the Corporation will have broad discretion in the application of the proceeds of an offering of Securities. The actual amount that the Corporation spends in connection with each intended use of proceeds may vary significantly from the amounts specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement and will depend on a number of factors, including the risk factors set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein.


Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Corporation will not receive any proceeds from the sale of Securities by any Selling Securityholder. See "Secondary Offering by Selling Securityholders".

The table below outlines the key milestones, estimated timing and costs in respect of the Corporation's material properties (the Blue Moon Property and the Nussir Property) for the next 12 months from the date of this Prospectus and also includes milestones and costs of the work program from the Blue Moon Technical Report and the Nussir Technical Report required to advance the Blue Moon Property and the Nussir Property, respectively, to the next phase. These milestones and estimates are based on the Corporation's reasonable expectations and reasonable courses of action and current assumptions and judgment.

Based on the Blue Moon Technical Report and the Nussir Technical Report.

(2)

Approximately $344,000, based on the Bank of Canada exchange rate as at August 29, 2025 (US$1.00 = C$1.3742).


As of August 29, 2025, the Corporation anticipates spending a total of approximately $8,594,000 over the next 12 months in order to meet its objectives and milestones. To fund its necessary activities related to the Blue Moon Property and the Nussir Property, the Corporation anticipates using (i) its working capital, which as of August 29, 2025, was approximately $9,540,000 (including $9,570,000 in cash), as supplemented by (ii) approximately US$17,500,000 (approximately $24 million based on the Bank of Canada exchange rate as at August 29, 2025 (US$1.00 = C$1.3742)) received by the Corporation on September 4, 2025, comprising of US$12,500,000 from the initial draw under the bridge loan extended by Hartree Partners, LP and funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management, LP ("Oaktree") and US$5,000,000 gross proceeds from a private placement with Oaktree. The Corporation will also use its working capital and available funds in order to meet its general and administrative expenses, which, as of August 29, 2025, is expected to be approximately $3,600,000 over the next 12 months.


The continuing operations of the Corporation are dependent on the ability of the Corporation to obtain additional financing to fund its anticipated costs and expenditures. There is no guarantee such financing will be secured, or available on a timely basis or on acceptable terms.


Prospective investors are cautioned that the above represents the opinions, assumptions and estimates of management considered reasonable at the date the statements are made, and are inherently subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other known and unknown factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those described above. See "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information".


Plan Of Distribution


The Corporation and the Selling Securityholders may from time to time during the 25-month period that this Prospectus, including any amendments hereto, remains valid, offer for sale and issue, as applicable, up to an aggregate of $200,000,000 (or the equivalent in other currencies based on the applicable exchange rate at the time of the offering) in Securities hereunder.


8


The Corporation and/or the Selling Securityholders may offer and sell the Securities to or through underwriters or dealers purchasing as principals, and may also sell directly to one or more purchasers or through agents or pursuant to applicable statutory exemptions. The Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular offering of Securities will identify each underwriter, dealer or agent, as the case may be, engaged by the Corporation or any Selling Securityholder in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities, and will set forth the terms of the offering of such Securities, including, to the extent applicable, any fees, discounts, or any other compensation payable to underwriters, dealers or agents in connection with the offering, the method of distribution of the Securities, the initial issue price, the proceeds that the Corporation or any Selling Securityholder will receive and any other material terms of the plan of distribution. Any initial offering price and discounts, concessions or commissions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.


In addition, the Securities may be offered and issued in consideration for the acquisition of other businesses, assets, or securities by the Corporation or one of its subsidiaries. The consideration for any such acquisition may consist of the Securities separately, a combination of Securities or any combination of, among other things, Securities, cash and assumption of liabilities.


In connection with the sale of the Securities, underwriters, dealers, or agents may receive compensation from the Corporation, any Selling Securityholder or from other parties, including in the form of underwriters', dealers', or agents' fees, commissions or concessions. Underwriters, dealers, and agents that participate in the distribution of the Securities may be deemed to be underwriters for the purposes of applicable securities legislation and any such compensation received by them from the Corporation or Selling Securityholder and any profit on the resale of the Securities by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions. In connection with any offering of Securities, except as otherwise set out in a Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular offering of Securities the underwriters, dealers or agents, as the case may be, may over-allot or effect transactions intended to fix, stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the Securities at a level other than those which otherwise might prevail on the open market. Such transactions may be commenced, interrupted or discontinued at any time. A purchaser who acquires any Securities forming part of any underwriters' over allotment position acquires those securities under such respective Prospectus Supplement, regardless of whether the over allotment position is ultimately filled through the exercise of the over allotment position or secondary market purchase.


Underwriters, dealers or agents who participate in the distribution of the Securities may be entitled, under agreements to be entered into with the Corporation and/or any Selling Securityholder, to indemnification by the Corporation and/or the Selling Securityholder against certain liabilities, including liabilities under applicable securities legislation, or to contribution with respect to payments which such underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make in respect thereof. Such underwriters, dealers and agents may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for, the Corporation in the ordinary course of business.


Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, each series or issue of Securities (other than Common Shares) will be a new issue of Securities with no established trading market. Accordingly, there is currently no market through which the Securities (other than Common Shares) may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell such Securities purchased under this Prospectus. This may affect the pricing of such Securities in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of such Securities, and the extent of issuer regulation.


The Securities will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act or the securities laws of any states in the United States and, subject to certain exceptions, may not be offered or sold or otherwise transferred or disposed of in the United States or to or for the account of U.S. persons absent registration or pursuant to an applicable exemption from the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. In addition, until 40 days after closing of an offering of Securities, an offer or sale of the Securities within the United States by any dealer (whether or not participating in such offering) may violate the registration requirement of the U.S. Securities Act if such offer or sale is made other than in accordance with Rule 144A or another exemption under the U.S. Securities Act.

·

if the Selling Securityholder is incorporated, continued or otherwise organized under the laws of a foreign jurisdiction or resides outside Canada, the name and address of the person or company the Selling Securityholder has appointed as agent for service of process, and, in such case, the Selling Securityholder will file a non-issuer's submission to jurisdiction form with the applicable Prospectus Supplement; and

all other information that is required to be included in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.

Risk Factors

 

There are various risks set out in the documents incorporated by reference herein, including the applicable Prospectus Supplement, that could have a material adverse effect upon, among other things, the exploration results, properties, business, business prospects and condition (financial or otherwise) of the Corporation. Before making an investment decision, prospective purchasers of Securities should carefully consider the information described in this Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein, including the applicable Prospectus Supplement.

 

The Corporation has negative cash flow from operating activities and does not currently generate any revenue. Lack of cash flow from the Corporation's operating activities could impede its ability to raise capital through debt or equity financing to the extent required to fund its business operations. In addition, working capital deficiencies could negatively impact the Corporation's ability to satisfy its obligations promptly as they become due. If the Corporation does not generate sufficient cash flow from operating activities, it will remain dependent upon external financing sources. There can be no assurance that such sources of financing will be available on acceptable terms or at all.

 

In addition, sales of a substantial number of Common Shares by existing shareholders could occur. These sales, or the market perception that the holders of a large number of Common Shares intend to sell Common Shares, could reduce the market price of the Common Shares. If this occurs, it could impair the Corporation's ability to raise additional capital through the sale of securities.

 

Additional risk factors relating to a specific offering of Securities will be described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. Some of the risk factors described in the documents incorporated by reference herein and/or the applicable Prospectus Supplement are interrelated and, consequently, investors should treat such risk factors as a whole. If any event arising from these risks occurs, the Corporation's business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, or your investment in the Securities could be materially adversely affected. Additional risks and uncertainties of which the Corporation currently is unaware or that are unknown or that it currently deems to be immaterial could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's business, financial condition and results of operation. The Corporation can provide no assurance that it will successfully address any or all of these risks. For a list of risk factors, prospective purchasers should refer to risk factors outlined in the AIF under the heading "Risk Factors", the risk factors outlined in the Annual MD&A under the heading "Financial Instrument Risk" and elsewhere in the documents incorporated by reference herein.

 

Prospective investors should carefully consider the risks described herein, in a document incorporated by reference herein or in the applicable Prospectus Supplement and consult with their professional advisors to assess any investment in the Corporation.

 

An investment in the Securities, as well as the Corporation's prospects, are speculative due to the risky nature of its business and the present stage of its development. Investors may lose their entire investment.

Statutory aND CONTRACTUAL Rights OF WITHDRAWAL AND RESCISSION

 

Securities legislation in certain of the provinces and territories of Canada provides purchasers with the right to withdraw from an agreement to purchase Securities. This right may be exercised within two business days after receipt or deemed receipt of the Prospectus, the accompanying Prospectus Supplement relating to the Securities purchased by a purchaser and any amendment thereto. In several of the provinces and territories, the securities legislation further provides a purchaser with remedies for rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revisions of the price or damages if the Prospectus, the accompanying Prospectus Supplement relating to the Securities purchased by a purchaser and any amendment thereto contains a misrepresentation or is not sent and delivered to the purchaser, provided that the remedies for rescission, revision of the price or damages are exercised by the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by the securities legislation of the purchaser's province or territory. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser's province or territory for the particulars of these rights or consult with a legal advisor.

 

18


In addition to statutory rights of withdrawal and rescission, original purchasers of Securities under this Prospectus (as supplemented or amended) that are convertible, exchangeable or exercisable securities, will be granted a contractual right of rescission against the Company in respect of the conversion, exchange or exercise of such Securities. The contractual right of rescission will be further described in any applicable Prospectus Supplement, but will, in general, entitle such original purchasers to receive, in addition to the amount paid on original purchase of any Securities, the amount paid upon conversion, exchange or exercise of such Securities, upon surrender of the underlying securities gained thereby, in the event that this Prospectus, the applicable Prospectus Supplement or any amendment thereto contains a misrepresentation, provided that both the conversion, exchange or exercise occurs, and the right of rescission is exercised, within 180 days of the date of the purchase of such Securities under this Prospectus and the applicable Prospectus Supplement. This contractual right of rescission will be consistent with the statutory right of rescission described under Section 130 of the Securities Act (Ontario) and is in addition to any other right or remedy available to original purchasers under Section 130 of the Securities Act (Ontario) or otherwise at law.

 

In an offering of Securities, to the extent such securities are convertible, exchangeable or exercisable securities, investors are cautioned that the statutory right of action for damages for a misrepresentation contained in this Prospectus (as supplemented or amended) is limited, in certain provincial and territorial securities legislation, to the price at which the Securities are offered to the public under the prospectus offering. This means that, under the securities legislation of certain provinces and territories of Canada, if the purchaser pays additional amounts upon conversion, exchange or exercise, as applicable, of the Security, those amounts may not be recoverable under the statutory right of action for damages that applies in those provinces and territories of Canada. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser's province or territory for the particulars of this right of action for damages or consult with a legal adviser.
