The Company granted the Agents an over-allotment option, which will be exercisable in whole or in part at any time and from time to time, up to and including the date which is 30 days after the closing of the Offering, in the sole discretion of the Lead Agent, to purchase from the treasury of the Company up to an additional number of Units as is equal to 15% of the number of the Units issued pursuant to the Offering, on the same terms as set forth above, to cover over-allotments, if any. The Offering is expected to close on or about June 26, 2024, and is subject to Robex receiving all necessary regulatory approvals, including the acceptance of the Offering by the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”).

The Company intends to use all the net proceeds from the equity financing, for the development of the Kiniero Project, including: (i) continuing the development of the early works programs and procurement of the long lead items; (ii) partial payment to Taurus of US$ 15 million under the US$ 35 million bridge loan facility; (iii) infilling the Mansounia project and other exploration expenditures; (iv) funding the Kiniero updated feasibility study to include the Mansounia property and further pit and process optimization; and (v) general and administrative as well as working capital.

The Supplement will be filed with the securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces of Canada. The Units may also be offered by way of private placement in the United States, in the European Union, the United Kingdom and Australia and in other jurisdictions outside of Canada, in each case in accordance with all applicable laws, provided that no prospectus, registration statement or similar document is required to be filed in such jurisdiction.
