Together with the first tranche of the Offering, the Company obtained gross proceeds of approximately $8,935,320.

In connection with the Final Tranche, the Company obtained aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $1,050,320 by issuing 10,940,830 flow-through shares of the Company (each, a “Critical FT Share”) at a price of $0.096 per Critical FT Share. Each Critical FT Share consists of one common share of the Company (each, a “Common Share”) that will qualify as a “flow-through share” within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada).

Richard Quesnel, CLM’s chief executive officer, commented, “We are pleased with the continued support from our shareholders, which reflects confidence in our strategy and our portfolio of critical mineral projects, including Kwyjibo, and positions the Company well to advance its objectives.”

The Critical FT Shares issued pursuant to Canadian prospectus exemptions under National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions are subject to a statutory four-month hold period ending August 11, 2026, pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws.

The Finder Warrants were issued at an exercise price equal to $0.096 per Finder Warrant. Each Finder Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.12 until April 10, 2029. The Finder Warrants and Common Shares and Warrants issuable upon exercise of the Finder Warrants are subject to a statutory four-month hold period ending August 11, 2026, pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws.

The Company intends to use the gross proceeds from the issuances of Critical FT Shares for exploration expenses and critical mineral mining expenditures on the Kwyjibo Rare Earth Project, as detailed in the Company’s press release dated November 18, 2025, and its lithium properties.

The Offering remains subject to the final acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”).
