Strong insider participation of $5,617,769 under the Non-Brokered Offering.
Resulting gross proceeds of $11,734,029 positions Nevada King to execute on its Phase III drill program, which will focus on approximately fifteen regional target areas and is expected to be completed in H2 2025.

The Common Shares issued under the Non-Brokered Offering were offered pursuant to applicable exemptions from the prospectus requirements under applicable Canadian securities laws, and in other qualifying jurisdictions.
All Common Shares issued pursuant to the Non-Brokered Offering are subject to a hold period under Canadian securities laws expiring four months and one day after the closing date.

The securities issued have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy of any securities in the United States. The securities described herein have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), or any state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold within the United States except in compliance with the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or pursuant to available exemptions therefrom.
Related Party Participation in the Offering
Certain insiders of the Company participated in the Non-Brokered Offering, acquiring an aggregate of 16,522,851 Common Shares. Collin Kettell (CEO and Director) acquired 5,122,000 Common Shares; John Sclodnick (President) acquired 882,352 Common Shares and Michael and Ana Parker, as joint actors (>10% shareholders) acquired 10,518,499 Common Shares.
The participation by insiders in the Non-Brokered Private Placement constitutes a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company is relying on the exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the Common Shares purchased by insiders, nor the consideration for the Common Shares paid by such insiders, exceeded 25% of the Company's market capitalization. The Company did not file a material change report in respect of the related party transaction at least 21 days before the closing of the Offering, which the Company deems reasonable in the circumstances in order to complete the Offering in an expeditious manner. The Offering was unanimously approved by the Company's board of directors.
