Emergent Metals Corp. Provides an Update on its Sale of the Golden Arrow Property, NV
Golden Arrow Monetization Progress Confirms Asset Strategy But Execution Risk Remains

Executive Summary
- Transaction Update: Fairchild Gold Corp. has initiated shareholder approval processes for its acquisition of Emergent Metals' Golden Arrow Property.
- Closing Timeline: A special meeting of Fairchild shareholders is scheduled for June 9, 2026; transaction expected to close in June 2026.
- Consideration Terms (Unchanged): US$350,000 cash payment (plus prior $250k deposit), issuance of 12,500,000 Fairchild common shares, and a US$3,500,000 senior secured promissory note.
- Royalty Retention: Emergent retains a 0.5% net smelter return (NSR) royalty on the property with buyout options for Fairchild ($1M pre-year 4, $1.5M years 4-7).
- Security: The note is secured by first-ranking security interest over the Golden Arrow Property and related assets transferred to Fairchild.
Material Impact
- Incremental Nature: This news confirms the procedural next step (shareholder vote) for a transaction announced in March 2026. It does not introduce new valuation terms or unexpected upside.
- Execution Risk: The primary material risk is now regulatory and shareholder approval rather than deal structure. Failure to close would delay monetization of the Golden Arrow asset.
- Cash Flow Impact: Upon closing, Emergent receives immediate cash ($350k) and a secured note ($3.5M). This significantly improves liquidity compared to holding an unproduced exploration asset.
- Market Expectation: The market has likely priced in the deal terms since March 24. This update is consistent with previous expectations regarding the timeline, making it routine rather than game-changing.

- Current Portfolio:
- West Santa Fe: High-grade gold-silver targets near Lahontan's Santa Fe Mine; metallurgical results show 81% Au recovery amenable to heap leach.
- New York Canyon: Copper skarn/porphyry property in Nevada, currently marketed for sale or JV after Ivanhoe/Kennecott options terminated.
