up to 6,525,000 Common Shares of the Corporation (each, a “Common Share”) to be sold to Québec purchasers as “flow-through shares” within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Tax Act”) and the Taxation Act (Québec) (the “Québec Tax Act”)) (each, a “Québec FT Share”) at a price of $0.23 per Québec FT Share for gross proceeds of up to $1,500,750;

Killian Charles, President & CEO of BRW, commented: “Over the previous twelve months, we outlined one of Quebec’s premier lithium projects with our exciting Mirage Project. We have continued to delineate and expand multiple, near-surface spodumene pegmatites all of which remain open. With high priority targets planned for drilling in Q1 and beyond, we have launched a prudent financing which will benefit from strong management and board participation. Concurrent to our plans at Mirage, we will also complete follow-up work at our latest discovery at the Anatacau West Project and continue to advance the first confirmed lithium discovery in Greenland throughout 2025.”
The Corporation intends to use the proceeds raised from the Offering to accelerate drilling at the Mirage Project and begin testing the recently announced discovery at the Elrond Project. Proceeds from the sale of Offered Shares will be used to incur "Canadian exploration expenses" as defined in subsection 66.1(6) of the Tax Act, "flow through mining expenditures" as defined in subsection 127(9) of the Tax Act and, for Quebec-eligible proceeds using the two 10% enhancements under section 726.4.9 and section 726.4.17.1 of the Québec Tax Act. Such proceeds will be renounced to the subscribers with an effective date not later than December 31, 2024, in the aggregate amount of not less than the total amount of gross proceeds raised from the sale of Offered Shares.
The Offering is scheduled to close on or around December 16, 2024 and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, receipt of all necessary approvals including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”).
The Offered Shares will be subject to a statutory four month and one day hold period.
