Executive Summary

The most recent news (2026-06-19) is the formal closing of the qualifying transaction: Chablis Capital Corp. acquired 100% of Viridian Metals Ireland Limited via a share exchange, renamed to NorthMin Corporation, and will list on TSX Venture Exchange under symbol “NMB” on June 23, 2026.
Final share issuance: 34,000,000 Resulting Issuer Shares to Viridian shareholders (deemed $0.25/share), plus 1,700,000 advisory shares.
Concurrent non-brokered private placement of C$3,000,000 via 12,000,000 subscription receipts at C$0.25 each, each converting into 1 share + 0.5 warrant (strike $0.40, 2 years).
Detailed escrow schedules and early warning disclosures filed: Angeliki Pilalitou controls 43.53%, Natural Resources Global Capital Partners 13.98%, with principal and seed shares locked up.
No new operational or project data; purely a corporate restructuring closing announcement.

Material Impact

The closing removes the risk of the QT not being completed, but that risk was already minimal after TSXV conditional approval and the closing of the $3M placement in early June 2026.
The price of $0.05 has been static for months and remains deeply disconnected from the $0.25 placement price (and warrants at $0.40). This signals that the market had priced in a 100% probability of completion and ascribes very low value to the post-transaction entity’s prospects.
No new project milestone, resource update, or commercial catalyst was disclosed. The news offers no re-rating trigger.
The sheer volume of escrowed shares (30.4M principal, 2.1M seed) and the eventual release schedule could create significant overhang, but that was already known.
Conclusion: the news is a formality, materially neutral to slightly positive because it definitively closes the transaction, but it does not alter the investment thesis.

Company Overview

Chablis Capital Corp. was a Capital Pool Company (CPC) on the TSX Venture Exchange with no operations. Through the reverse takeover of Viridian Metals Ireland Ltd., it becomes NorthMin Corporation, a Tier 2 Mining Issuer.
The sole asset is the Tynagh Project in County Galway, Ireland — a brownfield exploration-stage site with historical production (~7.9 Mt, 1965–1982). It consists of a tailings reprocessing component (~58.7 ha across two ponds) and hard-rock targets with high-grade copper, lead, zinc, silver mineralization.
The company has no revenue, no production, and will be entirely dependent on exploration success and future financing.
