Northisle Announces Closing of $115 million Financing

The most recent news (March 6, 2026) confirms the closing of a significantly upsized $115 million financing at $3.05 per share. This includes a $106.8M brokered public offering and a $4.9M private placement by Wheaton Precious Metals. This follows the February 23, 2026, announcement that the company was selected for the British Columbia Critical Minerals Office, a government initiative designed to accelerate permitting and environmental assessments. The financing was led by Paradigm Capital and saw participation from company insiders.

The impact is Material - Positive. - Capital Strength: Raising $115M in a single shot is a "step-change" for a junior company that previously operated with a $39.5M budget in 2025. This removes any near-term financing risk and provides the "economic horsepower" to move directly into a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) and aggressive district-wide drilling. - Institutional Validation: The inclusion of Wheaton Precious Metals and the successful execution of a $100M+ brokered deal at $3.05 (a massive premium to 2025 levels of $1.05) indicates strong institutional appetite and a re-rating of the asset's value. - Permitting De-risking: Selection for the BC Critical Minerals Office is a major bureaucratic win. It provides a dedicated government pathway to navigate the often-difficult BC permitting landscape, significantly reducing the "time-to-market" risk. - First Nations Alignment: The company now has agreements with 100% of the First Nations whose territories overlap the project, a critical hurdle for any BC mining project.

Northisle owns 100% of the North Island Project on Vancouver Island, BC. It is a district-scale (50km long) porphyry belt containing the Hushamu, Red Dog, and Northwest Expo deposits. - 2025 PEA Highlights: 29-year mine life, $2B After-tax NPV (7%), 29% IRR. - Phase 1: 200k oz Au and 48M lb Cu annually for the first 5 years. - Infrastructure: Located near a former BHP mine with existing power and road access.
