Phenom Earns 100% Interest in Crescent Valley Gold Property Following Final Share Issuance
Phenom Consolidates Crescent Valley Ownership as Permitting Hurdles Loom Over Nevada Portfolio

Executive Summary
- Phenom Resources Corp. has officially earned a 100% interest in the Crescent Valley Gold Property following the final share issuance to Nevada Gold Ventures LLC.
- The company issued 150,000 common shares at a deemed price of $0.44 per share to satisfy the last payment obligation under an April 26, 2023 Option Agreement.
- All cash payments, share issuances, and work expenditure commitments required by the agreement have been completed.
- The issuance is classified as a related party transaction because Dave Mathewson, owner of Nevada Gold Ventures LLC, is a director of the Company.
- Regulatory exemptions were utilized under MI 61-101 as the value does not exceed 25% of market capitalization.
Material Impact
- The news confirms the removal of option risk on a key asset but does not introduce new revenue or discovery data, making it an expected administrative milestone rather than a game changer.
- While positive for ownership certainty, the related party nature of the transaction requires scrutiny regarding potential insider benefit at shareholder expense.
- The share issuance represents minor dilution (150k shares) relative to the 122.6M basic share count but adds to the existing warrant overhang.
- Previous announcements in January 2026 regarding REE discovery and March 2026 drilling resumption have already priced in the asset's potential, limiting upside surprise from this ownership confirmation alone.
