Executive Summary

The most recent news (February 20-23, 2026) confirms the closing of a C$25 million non-brokered private placement at C$0.60 per unit. Key highlights include the participation of La Mancha Investments (controlled by the Sawiris family), which maintained its significant stake at 22.8% (30.8% partially diluted), and the entry of Argentem Creek Partners alongside Middle Eastern and European investors.
