Executive Summary

Dios Exploration Inc. closed a second tranche of its previously announced private placement on April 17, 2026.
The company raised an additional $158,000 by issuing 3,950,000 flow-through units at $0.04 per unit.
Total proceeds from two closings now amount to $508,000 against an increased placement target of $650,000.
Units issued consist of one flow-through common share and one half-warrant (exercise price $0.06).
Funds are designated for diamond drilling at the Heberto-Gold discovery and extensions on the Au33 property in James Bay, Quebec.
An insider subscribed for 780,000 units ($31,200) in the first tranche; this second tranche details do not specify insider participation but maintain similar terms.
Shares and warrants are subject to a four-month and one-day restricted hold period ending August 18, 2026.

Material Impact

The financing is expected as it follows the April 8 announcement of the first tranche; therefore, it lacks surprise factor required for "Material - Positive" status.
Liquidity position improves by $508,000 total, enabling the commencement of the planned 2,000m diamond drilling program authorized in March 2026.
Dilution is present with 12,700,000 units issued to date; however, the small capital raise size ($650k) suggests limited immediate impact on share price volatility compared to larger financings.
The increase of the placement target from $500,000 (April 8) to $650,000 indicates management confidence in demand or a need for slightly more capital than initially planned.
No material negative surprises regarding debt or regulatory hurdles were disclosed; TSX Venture Exchange approval remains pending but is standard procedure.
