Such participation is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of the Convertible Loan by the insider exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.

The Loan shall bear no interest and payable on or before July 1, 2024. If Belmont fails to repay the Loan in full on or before July 1, 2024, interest on arrears of 12% p.a. will be payable by Belmont beginning July 2, 2024.

HMS has the option to have the Debt paid through the issuance of 9,200,000 common shares, at a deemed value of $0.04 per share, subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

The Use of Proceeds will be allocated as: $210,000 exploration and incurred exploration expenditures; $60,000 office and administration (salaries, management, audit & legal); unallocated working capital $98,000. While the Company intends to spend the net proceeds from the loan as stated above, there may be circumstances where, for sound business reasons, funds may be reallocated at the discretion of the Board.

The closing of the transaction is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

George Sookochoff, President & CEO commented "We're thrilled to collaborate with a multinational corporation like HMS Bergbau AG as they venture into commodity production, broadening their scope. Their investment serves as a vote of confidence in our team, our initiatives, and our outlook."
