A total of 4,948,000 common shares of the Company that qualify as “flow-through shares” within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) were issued at a price of $3.76 per Premium FT Share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $18,604,480.

The brokered portion of the Offering, pursuant to which the Company issued 4,600,000 Premium FT Shares, was completed through a syndicate of underwriters led by Haywood Securities Inc., and including Research Capital Corporation. Pursuant to the non-brokered portion of the Offering, the Company issued 348,000 Premium FT Shares at the Issue Price.

The Premium FT Shares issued under the Offering were offered to purchasers pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption under Part 5A of National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions and in reliance on the amendments to Part 5A of NI 45-106 set forth in Coordinated Blanket Order 45-935 – Exemptions from Certain Conditions of the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption, in all the provinces of Canada, except Québec. The Premium FT Shares issued under the Offering are not subject to a statutory hold period pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws. The Offering is subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

The Company will use the gross proceeds from the Offering to fund further exploration, mineral resource expansion and drilling at Trident’s gold projects located in the La Ronge Gold Belt of Saskatchewan, that will qualify as Canadian Exploration Expenses as defined in paragraph (f) of the definition of “Canadian exploration expense” in subsection 66.1(6) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and “flow through mining expenditures” as defined in subsection 127(9) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) which will be renounced with an effective date no later than December 31, 2026 to the initial purchasers of Premium FT Shares.
