Executive Summary

Wescan Goldfields Inc. announced the closing of the second tranche of its non-brokered private placement on June 15, 2026.
The company raised $164,670 by issuing 748,500 units priced at $0.22 per unit.
The offering was upsized by $15,532, bringing total gross proceeds to up to $2,515,532.
A 45-day extension was secured from the TSX Venture Exchange to complete the offering.
Each unit consists of one common share and one-half common share purchase warrant. Warrants carry a $0.35 exercise price and are exercisable for 24 months.
Proceeds are allocated to fund the 2026 exploration programs and advance the next phase of exploration across its Saskatchewan gold project portfolio.
Finder's fees of $9,880 in cash and 44,910 warrants were paid.
A third and final tranche of $110,000 is anticipated to close in the coming days, subject to TSXV acceptance.
All securities carry a statutory hold period of four months and one day.

Material Impact

This release is a direct follow-up to the April 30, 2026 proposed private placement announcement. The market was already aware of the financing plan, making the closing of the second tranche and the minor upsizing an expected, incremental event.
Not an earnings release — no new operational results or guidance to assess; prior-period context shows a net loss of $446,719 in Q1 2026 and a working capital deficit.
The financing provides necessary liquidity to continue exploration but does not alter the company's fundamental risk profile or introduce new strategic value.
Dilution remains a primary concern. The issuance of ~10.9M units to date, plus the anticipated third tranche, will further increase the share count. The warrant structure adds additional upside dilution potential.
The news is Routine - Positive as it secures short-term runway but highlights the company's continued reliance on equity markets to survive and explore.
