Executive Summary

  • Rottenstone Gold Inc. entered into a binding agreement to acquire six royalty interests covering gold, silver, iron‑ore, and uranium projects from related parties on an all‑stock basis.
  • The consideration will be 93,225,807 newly issued common shares, representing a material dilution of existing shareholders (current outstanding shares: 29,236,400).
  • Completion is subject to due diligence, exchange and regulatory approvals, and a disinterested shareholder vote expected in Q1 2026; the transaction would trigger a change of business, a possible name change to “Silver Royalties,” and a trading halt.

Key Details

  • Royalties Acquired
    1. Great Bear Royalty (Kinross) – 0.75% NSR on ~570 ha leases & ~1,241 ha claims.
    2. Seabee Royalties (SSR Mining) – 2.0% NSR on ~8,873 ha and 0.5% NSR on ~2,832 ha.
    3. Goldboro Royalties (NexGold) – 2.0% GSR on ~10,848 ha.
    4. Bloom Lake East Royalty (Champion/Quebec Iron Ore) – 1.0% GSR on ~3,800 ha claims.
    5. Preston Royalties (Orano) – NSR ranging 1.4‑2.0% on ~49,635 ha.
    6. WAB Royalty (Cameco) – 1.0% GSR on ~5,859 ha.

  • Consideration – 93,225,807 common shares to be issued to the Vendors; based on an independent FMV valuation and the issuer’s last traded price.

  • Share Structure Impact – Post‑transaction pro‑forma share count will increase substantially (existing shares: 29,236,400).
  • Conditions to Closing
  • Satisfactory due diligence.
  • Approval by CSE and other regulatory bodies.
  • Disinterested shareholder approval at a special meeting (expected Q1 2026).

  • Completion of legal, tax, and escrow/hold requirements.

  • Corporate Strategy – The acquisition will diversify Rottenstone’s portfolio across >200,000 acres, positioning the company as a “large‑scale mining lands royalty” participant focused on tier‑one operators.

  • Change of Business & Name – Upon approval, the issuer will undergo a change of business, adopt the name “Silver Royalties Corp.” (or similar), and likely receive a new ticker symbol and ISIN/CUSIP. Trading will be halted until completion or termination.

  • Governance – Independent directors approved the transaction; interested directors disclosed interests and abstained. An independent valuation was obtained to satisfy MI 61‑101 requirements.

  • Qualified Person – Antonio Carteri, P.Geo., Director of the issuer, reviewed technical information (arm’s‑length from Vendors).
