Executive Summary

Valhalla Metals Inc. closed the acquisition of the Smucker Project from Teck American Incorporated, a subsidiary of Teck Resources Limited.
The company simultaneously completed the final tranche of an over-subscribed non-brokered private placement, raising an additional ~$1.75 million to bring total gross proceeds to approximately $15 million.
Teck Resources invested $1.75 million in the offering, while a Marubeni Corporation affiliate contributed ~$1.7 million.
All outstanding multiple voting shares were converted at a 100:1 ratio into Valhalla Shares to facilitate transaction closing.
The release includes a NI 43-101 mineral resource update for the Sun deposit and highlights 2023 drill results showing high-grade copper-equivalent intercepts.
Summer 2026 drilling is planned at the Sun deposit to expand the resource down dip and along strike. Drilling at Smucker is targeted for 2027 pending permits and logistical infrastructure.
Historical news progression shows this deal was announced in April 2026, upsized in early May, and funded in two tranches ($13.25M in May, $1.75M in June).

Material Impact

The June 1, 2026 news represents the final execution of a transaction that was publicly announced and priced in over the past two months.
The $0.65 per subscription receipt issue price represents a ~35% discount to the recent ~$1.00 trading range, confirming significant shareholder dilution that the market has already absorbed.
Strategic participation from Teck (~31.4% post-closing) and Marubeni was disclosed in April and confirmed in May; their involvement is expected and does not constitute a new catalyst.
The mineral resource update and drill results are incremental updates to previously disclosed data and do not materially alter the project's economic viability or timeline.
The news is a routine administrative closure. It removes the escrow condition but introduces no new upside, cost savings, or accelerated timelines.
