GFM ANNOUNCES SALE OF SUBSIDIARY

• Most Recent Event (April 17, 2026): GFM Resources Limited announced the sale of its wholly owned subsidiary, GFM Resources de Mexico, S.A. de C.V., to Compañía Minera Autlan, S.A.B. de C.V. for $427,284 in cash.
• Asset Details: The transaction includes the La Casita Property in Durango, Mexico (1,180 hectares), currently under care and maintenance with no material exploration work in recent years.
• Governance: Approved by independent directors and 94% of shareholders; subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval. Classified as a related-party transaction due to shared directorship between GFM and the purchaser (Autlan).
• Prior Financing (March 31, 2026): Closed a non-brokered private placement raising CAD $1,500,000 via issuance of 30,000,000 units at $0.05 per unit. Proceeds designated for liability repayment and working capital.
• Corporate Changes: Two directors resigned; two new directors appointed (Geir Liland, Quentin Adrian). 700,000 stock options granted to insiders.
• Shareholder Structure: Early warning disclosures indicate Autlán’s ownership in GFM reduced from ~85.74% to nil following the financing transaction. Multiple insiders (Keep, Giustra, McLeod, Khunkhun, Weymark) increased holdings to >10% on a partially diluted basis.

• Liquidity Impact: The sale generates $427,284 in immediate cash for a dormant asset, providing marginal liquidity improvement without further equity dilution compared to the recent financing.
• Asset Quality: The La Casita Property is described as "care and maintenance" with no recent exploration; monetizing this dead weight removes ongoing carrying costs (taxes, fees) from the balance sheet.
• Related-Party Risk: The transaction involves a shared director between GFM and the purchaser (Autlan). While approved by independent directors and shareholders, related-party sales of assets to exiting major shareholders warrant scrutiny regarding fair value assessment ($427k vs asset potential).
• Control Shift Context: Autlán exited its controlling equity stake (~85% to nil) in March while acquiring this specific subsidiary for cash in April. This suggests a consolidation strategy where the former controller is taking back assets outside the public shell, leaving GFM with reduced scope but potentially cleaner governance under new insider leadership.
• Dilution: The financing (March 31) was dilutive (30M units), whereas this sale is non-dilutive. Net effect on shareholder value depends on whether the asset retained more value than $427k, though "care and maintenance" status suggests low intrinsic value.
• Overall Assessment: Positive for immediate cash flow and balance sheet cleanup, but the related-party nature and context of major shareholder exit introduce governance complexity that limits it to a Routine classification rather than Material Game Changer.

• Company: GFM Resources Limited (TSX Venture Exchange).
• Flagship Project: La Casita Property (Durango, Mexico) was the primary asset sold; remaining flagship projects are not detailed in provided news but implied to be active given working capital usage.
• Development Status: The sold property is under care and maintenance with no recent exploration work.
• Jurisdiction: Canada (Headquarters/Listing), Mexico (Asset Location).
