BOREALIS ANNOUNCES $20 MILLION BOUGHT DEAL FINANCING

Borealis Secures $20 Million War Chest to Fuel Nevada Production Pivot as High-Grade Dreams Meet Execution Reality

Executive Summary

On January 5, 2026, Borealis announced a $20 million CAD bought deal private placement at $1.50 per share.
The offering is led by Stifel Canada and involves the issuance of 13,340,000 common shares with no warrants attached to the units, though agent warrants were issued.
Use of proceeds is designated for advancing Nevada gold projects and general working capital.
This follows the December 23, 2025, quarterly report showing the company generated US$1.54 million in revenue from initial stockpile processing and a decision to restart open-pit mining and blasting in early 2026.
The company is currently transitioning from processing historical stockpiles to full-scale mining operations.

Material Impact

Capital Infusion: The $20 million raise is significant relative to the company’s recent cash balance of US$8.18 million (as of Oct 31, 2025). It provides the necessary liquidity to fund the mobilization of contractors and equipment for the Q1 2026 mine restart.
Valuation and Dilution: The financing price of $1.50 represents an 11.7% discount to the last trading price of $1.70. While dilutive (adding approximately 10% to the share count), the "bought deal" status indicates strong institutional support and de-risks the company's ability to execute its 2026 restart plan.
Operational De-risking: By securing these funds, the company moves from a "bootstrap" revenue model (processing stockpiles) to a fully funded restart of primary mining operations.

Company Overview

Flagship Project: The Borealis Mine in Hawthorne, Nevada. It is a fully permitted, built mine with an existing ADR (Adsorption, Desorption, and Recovery) facility.
Secondary Assets: The Sandman Project (acquired March 2025) and the Big Balds Project.
Strategy: Utilizing existing infrastructure to generate near-term cash flow from stockpiles while preparing for a full restart of open-pit mining. The company aims to leverage its 100%-owned ADR facility to process ore from both Borealis and potentially Sandman.
