Arizona Tribune - Wolfden Sells Timberland Parcel for $2.1 Million in Non-Dilutive Financing

As per the terms of the property sale agreement dated January 16, 2025, in respect of the Severed Land, Wolfden retains exclusive rights to explore and buy-back the mineral rights of the Severed Land for a period of five years.

In addition, Altius Royalty Corporation ("Altius"), who had purchased in 2022, certain additional timber rights and carbon credits on the entire 6,862 acre property in consideration for US$1.0 million, has agreed to amend its royalty agreement with the Company whereby Altius will forfeit all of its timber and carbon rights on the Severed Land for the following terms: 1) Altius will retain all of its timber rights and carbon credits on Wolfden's Retained Land, and 2) Altius shall hold an option for five years to convert US$1.0 million (less any future timber harvest proceeds paid to Altius since January 2025) into common shares of the Company at a price that is the greater of C$0.30 and the 20-day VWAP of common shares of the Company at the time of conversion, subject to Altius not holding more than 19.9% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company or being issued more than 10% of the number of outstanding common shares of the Company, and 3) Should Wolfden sell the Retained Lands at arm's length to a third party, Altius shall receive US$1.0 million from the sale proceeds (less any timber harvest proceeds paid to Altius since January 2025). Should either option 2) or 3) occur, Altius will have forfeited its timber rights and carbon credits to the Retained Land.

The sale of the Severed Land is expected to close on or before January 31, 2025 and is subject to final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The Severed Land sale transaction is arm's length in nature, will be settled in cash, and may include up to a 2% finder's fee commission. The amendment to the Altius royalty agreement is considered not to be at arm's length as Altius owns more than 10% of the outstanding shares of the Company. The amendment is considered to be a "related party transaction" for the purposes of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") and is exempt from the formal valuation requirement pursuant to section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101 as the Company is not listed on a specified market within the meaning of MI 61-101 and furthermore, the amendment is exempt from the minority approval requirement pursuant to section 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 on the basis that neither the fair market value of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the amendment to the royalty agreement, insofar as it involves Altius, exceeds 25 per cent of the Issuer's market capitalization at the time of the amendment. Altius's option to convert its Pickett Project mineral royalty into common shares of the Company and cash expired on November 15, 2023.
