Insider Participation and MI 61-101 Related Party Exemptions

Certain insiders of Omineca are participating in the offerings, triggering related party transaction provisions under Multilateral Instrument 61-101. The company states it is relying on exemptions from formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements under sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, on the basis that the fair market value of securities issued to, or consideration paid by, insiders does not exceed 25% of the company's market capitalisation. The company also notes it did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the expected closing, citing the expedited timeline and the late confirmation of insider participation details.

Wingdam and Fraser Canyon Projects Underpin Capital Raise

Omineca's primary asset is the Wingdam property in British Columbia, encompassing 61,392 hectares along the Lightning Creek valley approximately 45 kilometres east of Quesnel.

The Fraser Canyon project, located 12 kilometres northwest of Quesnel, is described as being slated to reinitiate underground paleochannel development for placer gold recovery.
