  • Binding letter agreement signed with Walsh Karra Holdings for up to C$6,000,000 in total gross proceeds via subscription receipts priced at C$0.30 each

Subscription Receipt Structure and Escrow Conditions for the C$6 Million Raise

The C$5,000,000 strategic investment, plus up to C$1,000,000 from existing shareholders and management, will be completed through subscription receipts at C$0.30 per receipt, with proceeds held in escrow. Upon satisfaction of release conditions — including renewal of Prospecting Licence PL 1/2021, board and shareholder approvals, and CSE acceptance — each receipt converts into one common share and one warrant exercisable at C$0.39 for 24 months. If release conditions are not met by January 6, 2027, escrowed funds and accrued interest will be returned to subscribers. The company may pay finder's fees of up to 5% of gross proceeds.

SimplyFI Technology Licence Acquisition and the Marudi Mountain Asset

Alongside the cash investment, Golden Shield will acquire a permanent, worldwide licence to the SimplyFI™ technology stack — covering AI, traceable minerals, and blockchain — in exchange for 13,000,000 common shares. The licence is intended for deployment in connection with the Marudi Mountain project in Guyana's Rupununi Mining District. The Mazoa Hill deposit within Marudi is subject to a 2017 historical estimate of 4.43 Mt at 1.82 g/t Au (259,100 oz) Indicated and 1.65 Mt at 1.62 g/t Au (86,200 oz) Inferred; however, a qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify this as current mineral resources or mineral reserves.

Change of Control, Board Reconstitution, and Management Transition

Completion of the transaction will result in Walsh Karra Holdings and its affiliates holding approximately 51% of common shares on a fully diluted basis, constituting a change of control under CSE policies and requiring shareholder approval. The board is expected to be reconstituted with two Investor nominees, two Company nominees, and one mutually agreed independent director. A new Chief Executive Officer will be appointed at or promptly following closing, and a new CFO will follow. Current Chairman and CEO Leo Hathaway will transition out of his executive role but will be retained as a Special Advisor for 12 months alongside one other advisor.
