Executive Summary

Morocco Strategic Minerals Corp. (MCC) entered into an agreement to sell a 100% interest in its Sakami Property in Quebec to Visible Gold Mines Inc.
Consideration consists of 4,000,000 common shares of Visible Gold Mines and a 1% NSR royalty on the property.
The transaction allows MCC to streamline its portfolio and focus capital resources on Moroccan exploration assets while retaining equity exposure to Sakami via Visible Gold.
Equity stake acquired is approximately 9.7% of Visible Gold’s issued and outstanding common shares (pro forma non-diluted).
Consideration shares have a voluntary three-year resale restriction with staggered release schedules.
Finder's fee of 4% of transaction value paid to Eskar Capital Corporation.
Closing conditions include acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.

Material Impact

Strategic Alignment: The sale confirms and executes the strategic pivot announced in April 2026 to focus exclusively on Moroccan assets, removing non-core Quebec exposure.
Liquidity Impact: No immediate cash proceeds are generated; instead, MCC acquires equity in a peer company (Visible Gold Mines). This does not alleviate short-term working capital needs but reduces asset management overhead.
Valuation Risk: The value of the transaction is tied to Visible Gold Mines stock performance and restricted for three years, introducing counterparty risk rather than providing immediate liquidity.
Expectation Check: The April 20 news explicitly stated a focus on Moroccan exploration assets; this divestiture is consistent with that guidance rather than being an unexpected market-moving event.
Net Effect: Positive for strategic clarity but neutral to slightly negative regarding immediate cash flow, as it consumes management time and does not fund the upcoming $1M due diligence or $10M exercise payments for Moroccan options without raising new capital.
