Arizona Tribune - McFarlane Lake Announces Closing of Final Tranche of Upsized $1.3 Million Private Placement Offering

"We are very pleased with this financing round, raising well above our initial target of $1 million" says Mark Trevisiol Chief Executive Officer of McFarlane Lake. Mark added, "Exploration drilling is continuing at our McMillan Mine site and we are encouraged with what we are seeing." McFarlane Lake has been drill testing geophysical anomalies identified through electromagnetic (EM) testing methods, with a particular focus on an eastern area of the mine site where there has been little to no prior exploration (see press release March 27, 2025). McFarlane Lake expects to release additional information on its current drilling campaign in the coming weeks.

Each Unit consisted of one common share of the Company (each, a "Common Share") and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each, whole warrant a "Warrant"). Each Warrant granted in the Final Tranche is exercisable by the holder to acquire one Common Share at a price of $0.07 per Common Share until October 10, 2025.The FT Shares will qualify as "flow-through shares" within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Tax Act").

The Securities were offered for sale by way of the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption under Part 5A of National Instrument 45-106 - Prospectus Exemptions (the "LIFE") to purchasers in all the provinces of Canada, except Québec, and in other qualifying jurisdictions. The Common Shares and Warrants issued to Canadian residents in connection with the Offering are not subject to resale restrictions pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws or the policies of Cboe Canada Inc. ("Cboe").

The net proceeds raised from the issuance of the Units will be primarily allocated to exploration activities on the Company's Canadian properties, with a focus on the McMillan Property, while also supporting ongoing exploration at the West Hawk Lake Property and High Lake Property.

The gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the FT Shares will be used to incur eligible "Canadian exploration expenses" that will qualify as "flow-through mining expenditures" as such terms are defined in the Tax Act (the "Qualifying Expenditures"). All Qualifying Expenditures will be renounced in favour of the subscribers of the FT Shares effective December 31, 2025.

The Offering remains subject to final acceptance by Cboe and all regulatory approvals.

Related Party Disclosure

An insider of the Company subscribed for approximately $5,000 worth of Units in the Final Tranche. This participation by an insider constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Shareholders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company has relied on applicable exemptions from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements in Sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a), respectively, of MI 61-101. No new insiders were created, nor has there been any change of control, as a result of the Final Tranche. The Company did not file a material change report with respect to the insider's participation more than 21 days before the expected closing of the Final Tranche, as the details and amounts of the insider's participation were not finalized until closer to the closing and the Company wished to close the transaction as soon as practicable for sound business reasons.
