Notes:

	(1)	Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay to the Underwriters a cash fee (the “Underwriting Commission”) representing ●% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering (or $● per Common Share), including any proceeds realized from the sale of any Over-Allotment Shares (as defined herein), subject to a 1% cash commission (or $● per Common Share) payable on sales to members of a president’s list (the “President’s List”) consisting of certain orders, which is to represent a maximum of $21 million of the gross proceeds from the Offering. The total “Price to the Public”, the “Underwriting Commission” and the “Net Proceeds to the Company” (before deducting expenses of the Offering) will be $●, $● and $●, respectively. See “Plan of Distribution”.
	(2)	Assumes no sales to President’s List purchasers under the Offering.
	(3)	The Company has granted to the Underwriters an option (the “Over-Allotment Option”), exercisable in whole or in part in the sole discretion of the Underwriters at any time until the date which is 30 days following the Closing Date (as defined herein), to purchase up to an additional 15% of the Offering, or ● Common Shares (the “Over-Allotment Shares”), at a price of $● per Over-Allotment Share to cover over-allotments, if any, and for market stabilization purposes. In all circumstances, the number of Over-Allotment Shares available to be sold is subject to the maximum amounts allowable under the Prospectus. If the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full, the total “Price to the Public”, the “Underwriting Commission” and the “Net Proceeds to the Company” (before deducting expenses of the Offering and assuming no sales to President’s List purchasers) will be $●, $●, and $●, respectively. This Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus also qualify the grant of the Over-Allotment Option and the distribution of the Over-Allotment Shares upon exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. Any purchaser who acquires Common Shares forming part of the over-allotment position of the Underwriters pursuant to the Over-Allotment Option acquires such securities under this Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus, regardless of whether the over-allocation position is ultimately filled through the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option or secondary market purchases. See “Plan of Distribution”.

The following table sets out the maximum number of Over-Allotment Shares that may be issued by the Company to the Underwriters pursuant to the Over-Allotment Option granted to the Underwriters:

Underwriters’ Position		Maximum Size		Exercise Period		Exercise Price
Over-Allotment Option		● Over-Allotment Shares		Up to 30 days from and including the Closing Date		$● per Over-Allotment Share

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to the “Offering” and “Common Shares” herein includes all Over-Allotment Shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option.

The Underwriters, as principals, conditionally offer the Common Shares, subject to prior sale, if, as and when issued by the Company and accepted by the Underwriters in accordance with the conditions contained in the Underwriting Agreement referred to under “Plan of Distribution” and subject to approval of certain legal matters on behalf of the Company by Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, with respect to Canadian legal matters, and Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, with respect to United States legal matters and on behalf of the Underwriters by Borden Ladner Gervais LLP, with respect to Canadian legal matters, and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, with respect to United States legal matters.

The outstanding Common Shares are listed and posted for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”) under the symbol “NFG” and on the NYSE American, LLC (the “NYSE American”) under the symbol “NFGC”. On April 17, 2026, being the last complete trading day prior to the date hereof, the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSXV and NYSE American was $2.96 and US$2.16, respectively.

The Offering is being made concurrently in Canada under the terms of this Prospectus Supplement and in the United States under the terms of the Company’s registration statement (the “U.S. Registration Statement”) on Form F-10 (File No. 333-287547) filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) of which this Prospectus Supplement forms a part. New Found Gold is permitted under a multijurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the securities regulatory authorities in Canada and the United States to prepare this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus in accordance with the disclosure requirements of Canada which are different from those of the United States. Financial statements incorporated herein by reference have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, as a result, such financial statements may not be comparable to financial statements of United States companies.

Purchasers of the Common Shares should be aware that the acquisition of the Common Shares may have tax consequences both in the United States and in Canada. Such consequences for purchasers who are resident in, or citizens of, the United States or who are resident in Canada may not be described fully herein. Prospective purchasers are advised to consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of Canadian or United States federal income tax laws to their particular circumstances, as well as any other provincial, state, foreign and other tax consequences of acquiring, holding or disposing of the Common Shares and related securities. See “Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations” and “Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations for U.S. Holders”.

Your ability to enforce civil liabilities under the U.S. federal securities laws may be affected adversely because New Found Gold is incorporated in British Columbia, Canada, the majority of its officers and directors and some or all of the experts named in this Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus are Canadian residents, and all of its assets are located outside of the United States. See “Enforceability of Civil Liabilities”.

NEITHER THE SEC NOR ANY STATE OR CANADIAN SECURITIES REGULATOR HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED OF THE SECURITIES OFFERED HEREBY, PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT AND THE PROSPECTUS OR DETERMINED IF THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT AND THE PROSPECTUS ARE TRUTHFUL OR COMPLETE. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

In connection with the Offering and subject to applicable laws, the Underwriters may over-allot or effect transactions that stabilize or maintain the market price of the Common Shares in accordance with applicable market stabilization rules. Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time. The Common Shares sold by the Underwriters to the public will initially be offered at the Offering Price. After the Underwriters have made a reasonable effort to sell all of the Common Shares at the Offering Price specified on the cover page, the Underwriters may change the Offering Price and the other selling terms to an amount not greater than the Offering Price set forth on the cover page, and the compensation realized by the Underwriters will be decreased by the amount that the aggregate price paid by the purchasers for the Common Shares is less than the gross proceeds paid by the Underwriters to the Company. See “Plan of Distribution”.

It is expected that the completion of the sale of the Common Shares pursuant to the Offering will take place on or about ●, 2026 or on such other dates as may be agreed upon by the Company and the Underwriters (the “Closing Date”). The Common Shares are expected to be issued in registered or electronic form with CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. (“CDS”) on the Closing Date. Purchasers will only receive a customary confirmation from the registered dealer from or through which the Common Shares are purchased and who is a CDS participant. See “Plan of Distribution”.

An investment in the Common Shares is highly speculative and involves significant risks that you should consider before purchasing such Common Shares. You should carefully review the “Risk Factors” section of this Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein as well as the information under the heading “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”.

The Company’s head and registered office is located at 1133 Melville Street, Suite 3500, The Stack, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 4E5, Canada.

All references in this Prospectus Supplement to “dollars”, “C$” or “$” are to Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated. References to “US$” or “U.S. $” are to United States dollars.

Prospective investors should rely only on the information contained in or incorporated by reference into this Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus. Neither the Company nor the Underwriters have authorized anyone to provide prospective investors with different or additional information. Information contained on the Company’s website shall not be deemed to be a part of this Prospectus Supplement or the Prospectus or incorporated by reference herein and should not be relied upon by prospective investors for the purpose of determining whether to invest in the Common Shares. Neither the Company nor the Underwriters are making an offer to sell or seeking an offer to buy the Common Shares in any jurisdiction where such offer is not permitted. A prospective investor should assume that the information appearing in this Prospectus Supplement or the Prospectus is accurate only as of the date on the front of those documents and that information contained in any document incorporated by reference herein or therein is accurate only as of the date of that document unless specified otherwise. The Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since the date of this Prospectus Supplement.

Name, Address and Incorporation

New Found Gold was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) as Palisade Resources Corp. on January 6, 2016. By articles of amendment effective June 20, 2017, the Company’s name was changed to New Found Gold Corp.

On June 23, 2020, the Company continued into British Columbia under the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “BCBCA”). The Company’s head and registered office is located at 1133 Melville Street, Suite 3500, The Stack, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 4E5, Canada.

Effective November 13, 2025, New Found Gold acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Maritime, a company incorporated under the laws of British Columbia, that it did not already own by way of a statutory plan of arrangement pursuant to Division 5 of Part 9 of the BCBCA, whereby Maritime became its fully owned subsidiary (the “Arrangement”).

New Found Gold is a reporting issuer in each of the provinces and territories of Canada. The Common Shares are listed on the TSXV and NYSE American.

Business of the Company

New Found Gold is an emerging Canadian gold producer with assets in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador. The Company’s exploration is focused on discovering and delineating gold resources. The Company has two material properties. The first is the Company’s flagship Queensway Gold Project located on the island of Newfoundland, Canada (the “Queensway Gold Project”, or the “Queensway Property”). On March 24, 2025, New Found Gold announced an initial mineral resource estimate (“MRE”) and on July 21, 2025, the Company issued a preliminary economic assessment (“PEA”) for the Queensway Gold Project. At present, the Queensway Gold Project does not have any known mineral reserves. The second is the Hammerdown Gold Project located on the island of Newfoundland, Canada (the “Hammerdown Gold Project”, consisting of the Hammerdown Property and the Pine Cove Property), which was acquired through the acquisition of Maritime. The Queensway Gold Project and the Hammerdown Gold Project are collectively referred to herein as the “Properties”. On February 26, 2026, New Found Gold announced the results of an updated PEA and updated MRE for the Hammerdown Gold Project. At present, the Hammerdown Gold Project does not have any known mineral reserves. The Hammerdown deposit on the Hammerdown Property had its first pour in November 2025 and is currently advancing to commercial production.

S-7

Since incorporation, the Company has taken the following steps in developing its business: (i) identified and acquired mineral properties with sufficient merit to warrant exploration; (ii) raised funds to progress the Company’s exploration activities on its mineral properties, as described herein; (iii) completed technical reports on the Queensway Gold Project, including the technical report titled “NI 43-101 Technical Report for the Queensway Gold Project, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada”, filed on September 2, 2025 and with an effective date of June 30, 2025, prepared by SLR Consulting (Canada) Ltd. (“SLR Consulting”), Stantec Consulting Limited (“Stantec”), Pierre Landry, P.Geo., Lance Engelbrecht, P.Eng., David M. Robson, P.Eng. and Sheldon H. Smith, P.Geo. in compliance with National Instrument 43-101– Standards of Disclosure of Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) (the “Queensway Technical Report”); (iv) completed a technical report on the Hammerdown Gold Project titled “Hammerdown Gold Project, Preliminary Economic Assessment Technical Report, Newfoundland & Labrador, Canada”, filed on March 17, 2026, with an effective date of February 18, 2026, prepared by WSP Canada Inc. (“WSP”), Stephen Coates, P.Eng., Christian Beaulieu, P.Geo., Michael Levy, P.Eng., Chafana Hamed Sako, P.Geo., James Guiraud, P.Geo., Stacy J. Freudigmann, P.Eng., Sheldon H. Smith, P.Geo., J. Alex Mcintyre, P.Eng., Neil J. Lincoln, P.Eng., Dachun (David) Jin, P.Eng., William Richard McBride, P.Eng. in compliance with NI 43-101 (the “Hammerdown Technical Report”); (v) undertaken exploration programs, including a 74,000 m diamond drill program and continued stripping of overburden to expose bedrock in targeted areas of the Queensway Property; and (vi) retained directors, officers and employees with the skills required to successfully operate a public mineral development and exploration company.

Further information regarding the business of the Company or its operations and its mineral properties can be found in the AIF, Annual Financial Statements and Annual MD&A and the other documents incorporated by reference into this Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov. See “Documents Incorporated by Reference”.

Recent Developments

On April 20, 2026, the Company announced that it entered into a $105M senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with Edgepoint Investment Group Inc (“EdgePoint”).

The Company will not be proceeding with the secured loan facility and warrants issuance contemplated in the non-binding term sheet with Nebari Natural Resources Credit Fund II, LP, as announced on March 5, 2026.

Pursuant to the Credit Facility, the funds will be advanced in two tranches: $70,000,000 (“Tranche 1”) to be funded upon delivery of the security package and the satisfaction of certain other conditions precedent and an additional $35,000,000 (“Tranche 2”) to be funded no later than 12 months after closing at the discretion of the Company. Both tranches will be subject to an establishment fee of 1% payable upon the advance of funds. Loans under the Credit Facility will bear interest at a fixed annual rate of 8.75% payable quarterly in arrears and will have a term of 3 years. The funds to be advanced reflect principal amounts subject to an original issue discount of 2.00%.

In connection with the Credit Facility and subject to the approval of the TSXV and the authorization of the NYSE American, the Company will issue to EdgePoint non-transferable warrants for the purchase of Common Shares (the “Credit Facility Warrants”). Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Common Share. The warrants to be issued on the funding of Tranche 1 will have an aggregate value of US$6,000,000 and be exercisable for an aggregate of 2,489,818 Common Shares at an exercise price of $3.30 per Common Share. The warrants to be issued on the funding of Tranche 2 will have an aggregate value of US$3,000,000 and be exercisable for Common Shares at an exercise price equal to a 25% premium to the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSXV immediately preceding the date of funding under Tranche 2. The warrants will be exercisable for a period of 3 years subject to customary adjustment provisions.

All direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company will guarantee the Credit Facility. The Company and such guarantors will secure the Credit Facility with first-lien security interests over all of their present and after-acquired real and personal property.

The proceeds of the Credit Facility will be used for general corporate and working capital purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries, including financing for the development of the Queensway Gold Project and the ramp up of the Hammerdown Gold Project.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our securities is speculative and involves a high degree of risk due to the nature of our business and the present stage of its development. The following risk factors, as well as risks currently unknown to us, could materially adversely affect our future business, operations and financial condition and could cause them to differ materially from the estimates described in forward-looking statements relating to the Company, or its business, property or financial results, each of which could cause purchasers of our securities to lose part or all of their investment. The risks set out below are not the only risks we face; risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. In addition to the other information contained in this Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein, you should carefully consider the risks described below, as well as the risks described under the “Risk Factors” section of the Prospectus and the AIF before purchasing the Common Shares.

S-8

Risks Related to Our Securities

Use of Proceeds

While information regarding the use of proceeds from the sale of the Common Shares is described under the heading “Use of Proceeds”, management will have discretion concerning the use of proceeds of the Offering as well as the timing of their expenditures. The Company has identified certain forward-looking plans and objectives for the proceeds, including those listed under the heading “Business Objectives and Milestones”, but the Company’s ability to achieve such plans and objectives could change as a result of a number of internal and external factors, such as the results of continued development activities on the Company’s properties. Management may use the proceeds of the Offering in ways that an investor may not consider desirable. The results and effectiveness of the application of the proceeds are uncertain. If the proceeds are not applied effectively, the Company’s results of operations may suffer.

Future sales or issuances of debt or equity securities could decrease the value of any existing Common Shares, dilute investors’ voting power and reduce our earnings per share

Shareholders of the Company will incur immediate dilution as a result of the Offering. The Company will also, in connection with the Credit Facility and subject to the approval of the TSXV and the authorization of the NYSE American, issue Credit Facility Warrants to EdgePoint. See “Consolidated Capitalization”. The Company may also sell additional equity securities (including through the sale of securities convertible into Common Shares) and may issue additional debt or equity securities to finance our operations, exploration, development, acquisitions or other projects. We are authorized to issue an unlimited number of Common Shares. We cannot predict the size of future sales and issuances of debt or equity securities or the effect, if any, that future sales and issuances of debt or equity securities will have on the market price of the Common Shares. Sales or issuances of a substantial number of equity securities, or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices for the Common Shares. With any additional sale or issuance of equity securities, investors will suffer dilution of their voting power and may experience dilution in our earnings per share.

Our Common Shares are subject to various factors that have made share prices volatile

The Common Shares are listed on the TSXV and NYSE American. Securities of mineral exploration and development companies have experienced substantial volatility in the past, often based on factors unrelated to the companies’ financial performance or prospects. These factors include macroeconomic developments in North America and globally and market perceptions of the attractiveness of particular industries.

The price of the Common Shares is also likely to be significantly affected by short-term changes in gold or other mineral prices or in the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. Other factors unrelated to the Company’s performance that may affect the price of the Common Shares include the following: the extent of analytical coverage available to investors concerning the Company’s business may be limited if investment banks with research capabilities do not follow the Company; lessening in trading volume and general market interest in the Common Shares may affect an investor’s ability to trade significant numbers of Common Shares; the size of the Company’s public float may limit the ability of some institutions to invest in the Common Shares; and a substantial decline in the price of the Common Shares that persists for a significant period of time could cause the Common Shares to be delisted from such exchange, further reducing market liquidity. As a result of any of these factors, the market price of the Common Shares at any given point in time may not accurately reflect the Company’s long-term value. Securities class action litigation often has been brought against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of their securities. New Found Gold may in the future be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and damages and divert management’s attention and resources.

The market price of the Common Shares is affected by many other variables which are not directly related to the Company’s success and are, therefore, not within New Found Gold’s control. These include other developments that affect the market for all resource sector securities, the breadth of the public market for the Company’s Common Shares and the attractiveness of alternative investments. The effect of these and other factors on the market price of the Common Shares is expected to make the price of the Common Shares volatile in the future, which may result in losses to investors.

S-9

The market price of the Common Shares could decline as a result of future issuances or sales of the Company’s securities, which could result in insufficient liquidity

The market price of the Common Shares could decline as a result of issuances of securities by the Company or sales by its existing shareholders of Common Shares in the market, or the perception that these sales could occur. The issuance of Common Shares upon the exercise of the Company’s outstanding stock options or the vesting of the Company’s outstanding share units may also reduce the market price of the Common Shares. Additional Common Shares, stock options and share units may be issued in the future. A decrease in the market price of the Common Shares could adversely affect the liquidity of the Common Shares on the TSXV and NYSE American. The Company’s shareholders may be unable, as a result, to sell significant quantities of the Common Shares into the public trading markets. The Company may not, as a result, have sufficient liquidity to meet the continued listing requirements of the TSXV and the NYSE American. Sales of the Common Shares by shareholders might also make it more difficult for the Company to sell equity or debt securities at a time and price that it deems appropriate, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial conditions and results of operations.

The Company may be a “passive foreign investment company”, which may have adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences for U.S. investors

The Company may be a “passive foreign investment company” (“PFIC”), which may have adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences for U.S. investors. U.S. investors should be aware that they could be subject to certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences in the event that we are classified as a PFIC. The determination of whether we are a PFIC for a taxable year depends, in part, on the application of complex U.S. federal income tax rules, which are subject to differing interpretations, and the determination will depend on the composition of our income, expenses and assets from time to time and the nature of the activities performed by our officers and employees. We believe we were a PFIC for 2025, and we may be treated as a PFIC in 2026 and subsequent years. Prospective investors should carefully read the tax discussion below under the heading “Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations for U.S. Holders” for more information and consult their own tax advisors regarding the likelihood and consequences of the Company being treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, including the advisability of making certain elections that may mitigate certain possible adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences that may result in an inclusion in gross income without receipt of such income.

The Company has never paid, and does not currently anticipate paying, dividends

To date, the Company has not paid any dividends on the outstanding Common Shares. Any decision to pay dividends on the Common Shares of the Company will be made by the board of directors of the Company (“Board”) on the basis of the Company’s earnings, financial requirements and other conditions.

No assurance of active or liquid market

No assurance can be given that an active or liquid trading market for the Common Shares will be sustained. If an active or liquid market for the Common Shares fails to be sustained, the prices at which such shares trade may be adversely affected. Whether or not the Common Shares will trade at lower prices depends on many factors, including the liquidity of the Common Shares, prevailing interest rates and the markets for similar securities, general economic conditions and the Company’s financial condition, historic financial performance and future prospects.

Investors may lose their entire investment

An investment in the Common Shares is speculative and may result in the loss of an investor’s entire investment. Only potential investors who are experienced in high risk investments and who can afford to lose their entire investment should consider an investment in the Company.

S-10

The Company, its directors and officers are located outside of the United States, which makes it difficult for U.S. litigants to effect service of process, or enforce, any judgments obtained against the Company or its officers or directors

The Company and a majority of the Company’s directors and officers and the experts named in this Prospectus Supplement are residents of Canada or otherwise reside outside the United States, and all or a substantial portion of their assets may be, and all of the Company’s assets are, located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for U.S. litigants to effect service of process or enforce any judgments obtained against the Company or its officers or directors, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of Canada and other jurisdictions would recognize or enforce judgments of United States courts obtained against the Company or its directors and officers predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof, or be competent to hear original actions brought in Canada or other jurisdictions against the Company or its directors and officers predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof.

The unaudited pro forma financial information included or incorporated by reference into this Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus is presented for illustrative purposes only and may not be indicative of the results of operations or financial condition of the combined company following the Arrangement.

This Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus includes and incorporates by reference certain pro forma financial information. This pro forma financial information has been prepared using the consolidated historical financial statements of New Found Gold and Maritime, is presented for illustrative purposes only and should not be considered to be an indication of the results of operations or financial condition of the combined company following the Arrangement. In addition, the pro forma financial information included and incorporated by reference in this Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus is based in part on certain assumptions regarding the combined company after the Arrangement. These assumptions may not prove to be accurate, and other factors may affect the combined company’s results of operations or financial condition following the Arrangement. Accordingly, the pro forma financial information does not necessarily represent what would have been the combined company’s results of operations and financial condition had Maritime and New Found Gold operated as a combined entity during the periods presented, or the combined company’s results of operations and financial condition following completion of the Arrangement. In addition, the combined company’s potential for future business success and operating profitability must be considered in light of the risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties typically encountered by recently combined companies.

The Company’s indebtedness and grant of security interests in certain of our assets could adversely affect the Company’s business.

The Company has incurred indebtedness and may incur further indebtedness from time to time, which may be secured, including with respect to the Credit Facility. Certain of the Company’s mineral properties are in the exploration stage and the Company may not have sufficient sources of revenue from which to pay indebtedness until it commences production. If the Company is unable to pay existing or future indebtedness when due, the holders will have rights against the Company, and in the case of secured indebtedness, the holders may potentially seize or sell the assets subject to the security interest. Any failure to timely meet the Company’s obligations under these instruments may adversely affect the Company’s assets, results of operations and future prospects.

CONSOLIDATED CAPITALIZATION

Since December 31, 2025, the date of our financial statements for the most recently completed financial period, there have been no material changes in our consolidated share and debt capital other than as outlined under “Prior Sales”. For information on the issuance of Common Shares pursuant to the exercise of stock options (“Options”) pursuant to our incentive stock option plan and the settlement of restricted share units (“RSUs”), deferred share units, and performance share units pursuant to our share unit plan, see “Prior Sales”.

The following table shows the consolidated capitalization of the Company as at the date of the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, and as at such date on an adjusted basis after giving effect to the Offering and Credit Facility. The table should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 and management’s discussion and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2025, which are incorporated by reference in this Prospectus as well as the other disclosure contained in this Prospectus, including the risk factors described under the heading “Risk Factors” in this Prospectus and in the AIF.

(4)	In addition, the Company will issue the Credit Facility Warrants to EdgePoint in accordance with the Credit Facility.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The net proceeds to the Company from the Offering will be approximately $● (or approximately $● if the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full), after deducting payment of the Underwriting Commission in the amount of $● (or $● if the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full) and the estimated expenses of the Offering of $● by the Company from its general funds. The above calculations assume no sales to President’s List purchasers under the Offering.

S-11

The Company currently intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering as follows:

Principal Purpose			Approximate use of Proceeds ($)
Queensway Gold Project capital expenditures – engineering, early works and deposits on long lead items			●
Queensway Gold Project capital expenditures – permitting, sustainability, site admin			●
Corporate G&A, working capital			●
Total uses			●

In addition, the net proceeds to the Company from the Credit Facility are anticipated to be approximately $●. The Company currently intends to use the net proceeds of the Credit Facility for general corporate and working capital purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries, including financing for the development of the Queensway Gold Project and the ramp up of the Hammerdown Gold Project.

Although the Company intends to use the proceeds from the Offering as set forth above, the actual allocation of the proceeds may vary depending on the advancement of the Queensway Gold Project, the Hammerdown Gold Project, or unforeseen events, including those listed under “Risk Factors” in this Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus and the AIF.

Business Objectives and Milestones

The net proceeds of the Offering and the Credit Facility and current cash on hand will allow the Company to further advance its Queensway Gold Project, and will be sufficient to complete the business objectives and milestones detailed below.

The main business objectives the Company intends to accomplish with the net proceeds of the Offering (assuming the Over-Allotment Option is not exercised) are:

Queensway Gold Project capital expenditures – engineering, early works and deposits on long lead items.

Queensway Gold Project capital expenditures – permitting, sustainability, site admin.

Corporate G&A, working capital.

If the Over-Allotment Option is exercised, the Company anticipates the funds intended to be spent on exploration, corporate general and administrative, and others.

The Company expects to complete these main business objectives during the next 24-month period. No significant event needs to occur for the Company to achieve these business objectives, although the objectives are dependent on the amount of proceeds raised, the time periods in which the proceeds are raised and are subject to the risks and uncertainties described in this Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus.

Keith Boyle, P.Eng., is the “qualified person”, within the meaning of NI 43-101, who has reviewed and confirmed that the above-noted use of net proceeds allocation is reasonable.
