Update on Investors Relations Program

Further to the Company's news release dated December 18, 2024, the Company has amended the terms of its investor relations arrangement with Clarkham Capital Ltd. ("Clarkham Capital"), which was previously approved by the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV"). The Company had previously entered into an investor relations ("IR") agreement with Clarkham Capital pursuant to which Clarkham Capital was engaged to support the Company's German Investor Engagement campaign, focusing on the German stock market and the German-speaking investor community. The original agreement with Clarkham Capital had a minimum term of three months and continued until terminated by either party with at least 30 days' notice. Clarkham Capital was to be paid EUR 350,000 plus applicable taxes for the initial term. Under an assignment and amending agreement entered into by Clarkham Capital, Leit Media Ltd. ("Leit Media") and the Company, Clarkham Capital has assigned its investor relations agreement with the Company to Leit Media and the term of the agreement has been extended by two months, with all other terms and conditions remaining the same, subject to the prior approval of the TSXV. Upon receipt of TSXV approval, Leit Media will assume all responsibilities under the agreement, will provide IR services to the Company going forward and no additional consideration will be payable to Leit Media during the extended term. Services to be provided by Leit Media include preparing articles and coverage on a variety of financial platforms and newsletters, and, at the election of the Company, the translation and distribution of news releases in Germany. The agreement does not contain performance-based criteria, and Clarkham Capital did not receive securities of the Company as compensation and neither will Leit Media. Sebastian Korbach, who provide the investor relations services to the Company under the original agreement, will continue to provide investor relations services to the Company on behalf of Leit Media. Leit Media is an international investor relations agency headed by Erica Kisslinger Korbach, operating in London, United Kingdom. Leit Media and its principals are arm's length from the Company and neither Leit Media nor its principal hold any securities of the Company. The extension of the agreement and the assignment to Leit Media remain subject to final TSXV approval.
