Paradigm Capital Inc. (“Paradigm“) is acting as lead agent and sole bookrunner under the Offering on behalf of a syndicate of agents (together with Paradigm, the “Agents“). In connection with the Offering, the Company will no longer be granting the Agents an option to sell up to that number of additional Common Shares equal to 15% of the base Offering size, as was previously announced in the Company’s news release dated December 18, 2025, so as not to exceed capital raising limits under the Listing Issuer Financing Exemption (as defined below).
The net proceeds from the Offering will be used to complete a Pre-Feasibility Study for the Golden Summit Project, to support ongoing exploration, and for general corporate and working capital purposes. Management believes that these funds will further strengthen the Company’s ability to advance the Golden Summit Project as it moves the project through the pre-feasibility stage.
The Common Shares will be offered for sale pursuant to Part 5A of National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions, as amended by Coordinated Blanket Order 45-935 – Exemptions from Certain Conditions of the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption (the “Listed Issuer Financing Exemption“), to purchasers resident in each of the provinces of Canada (other than Québec), and in other qualifying jurisdictions outside of Canada that are mutually agreed to by the Company and the Agents pursuant to relevant prospectus or registration exemptions in accordance with applicable laws. As the Offering is being completed pursuant to the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption, the Common Shares issued in the Offering will not be subject to a hold period in Canada pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws.
There is an amended and restated offering document related to this Offering that can be accessed under the Company’s profile at www.sedarplus.ca and on the Company’s website at www.freegoldventures.com. Prospective investors should read this offering document before making an investment decision.
The Offering is expected to close on or about January 6, 2026 (the “Closing Date“) and will be subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions, including listing of the Common Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
The Agents will be entitled to, on the Closing Date, a cash commission equal to 5% of the gross proceeds of the Offering.
The securities 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 U.S. state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States without registration under the U.S. Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws or compliance with the requirements of an applicable exemption therefrom. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities in the United States, nor may there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
