3. BWR will issue to Electro shareholders one post-consolidation BWR share for each Electro share, subject to final adjustment, implying a share price of $0.021 for each pre-consolidation BWR share, reflecting a significant premium to the December 27 price of $0.01,

The completion of the Proposed Transaction will be conditional upon successful completion of the Concurrent Financing, Shareholder approval, and regulatory approval. 

Commenting on the Proposed Transaction, Neil Novak, CEO of BWR stated “We are happy to enter into this transaction to continue our pivot toward advanced critical metals projects with the intriguing and high-potential copper-zinc-silver-gold project of Electro Metals near Rouyn – Noranda in Quebec while our Little Stull Lake gold project in Manitoba awaits conclusion of First Nations negotiations.”  “The addition of highly talented management, and exploration pipeline of critical metals to complement our advanced Fabie – Magusi project in Rouyn – Noranda plus the exposure to high grade gold at Little Stull Lake makes this a compelling business combination”, stated Daryl Hodges, CEO of Electro Metals. 

Terms of Proposed Transaction 

Pursuant to the Amalgamation Agreement, BWR and Electro will complete a three-cornered amalgamation in accordance with the provisions of the Canada Business Corporations Act (the “CBCA”) which will involve Subco amalgamating with Electro to form a single, wholly-owned subsidiary of BWR which will result in Electro and all of its subsidiaries and affiliates becoming directly or indirectly wholly-owned subsidiaries of BWR. The parties agree, however, that the final structure of the business combination is subject to receipt by the parties of satisfactory tax, corporate and securities law advice in each party’s sole discretion.  

To complete the Proposed Transaction, BWR has agreed to consolidate all the issued and outstanding BWR Shares on the basis of one (1) post-Consolidation BWR Share for nine and one half (9.5) pre-Consolidation BWR Shares (the “Consolidation”).  Following the Consolidation, there will be approximately 13.42 million BWR Shares issued and outstanding. BWR would subsequently amalgamate with Electro pursuant to the CBCA (the “Amalgamation”) through Subco, which would result in Electro shareholders owning approximately 74% of the issued and outstanding shares of the new company following completion of the Amalgamation (the “Resulting Issuer”) .     

It is a condition of the Proposed Transaction that (a) Electro and BWR successfully complete the Private Placements (as defined below); and (b) BWR complete the Consolidation and other conditions precedent as described in detail below.  

For the purposes of the Proposed Transaction, the deemed value of each common share in the capital of BWR (the “BWR Shares“) shall be $0.021 per BWR Share based on BWR’s capitalization prior to the Consolidation and the deemed value of each ordinary share in the capital of Electro (the “Ordinary Shares“) shall be $0.20 per Ordinary Share, or such other amount as may be agreed to by the parties and accepted by the TSXV (the “Electro Share Value“). Prior to completing the Transaction, it is intended that BWR complete the Consolidation thereby resulting in the deemed value of the BWR Shares, post-Consolidation, being equal to the Electro Share Value. Each BWR option and warrant shall be adjusted so that the number of shares issuable upon exercise, and the exercise price thereof, are adjusted to give effect to the Consolidation.  

The authorized share capital of BWR prior to executing a Letter of Intent with Electro in December, 2024, consisted of an unlimited number of BWR Shares without nominal or par value and an unlimited number of non-voting preferred shares without nominal or par value, issuable in series, of which 106,010,461 BWR Shares were issued and outstanding and a total of 7,050,000 BWR Shares are reserved for issuance under management stock options, and 2,284,000 warrants.

As part of a previously announced Bridge Financing (see press release December 27, 2024), BWR has issued a total of 4,500,000 common shares to cover audit and transaction expenses at a price of $0.02 per share prior to the Consolidation, and will issue approximately 17,000,000 pre–consolidation shares at a deemed price of $0.025, subject to adjustment, to settle accounts payable, accrued liabilities. The founders of BWR have also agreed to waive the sum of $349,500, equaling 50% of the unpaid amount owing to them by BWR for services rendered in the past, subject to the successful completion of the Proposed Transaction. BWR will not incur any material expenses except in the ordinary course of its listing and except as contemplated herein unless notice has been provided to Electro.  

As of December 27, 2024, Electro had 33,146,565 Ordinary Shares, 13,001,810 warrants, and 2,500,000 Ordinary Shares are reserved for issuance under employee stock options and 375,000 Ordinary Shares are reserved for issuance as Restricted Share Units. As outlined in the press release of December 27, 2024, Electro has carried out a financing (the “Bridge Financing) , issuing to date 937,500 shares and warrants and issued 4,000,000 shares to Globex Mining Enterprises (the “Optionor”) as per an amended option agreement dated December 18, 2024 among Electro and the Optionor. Under the terms of the agreement (more details provided below), Electro will pay Globex $3,500,000 cash over 4 years, this includes $100,000 that was paid prior to January 31, 2025. Electro will issue an additional 2,000,000 shares at the 4th anniversary of the agreement and undertake $8,350,000 in expenditures on the property including a minimum of $650,000 in the first year. Upon commercial production, Globex will receive an additional $1,000,000 adjusted for inflation.  Electro is using the proceeds of the Bridge Financing to settle audit fees, transaction fees, and near – term property fees and payments and issued 446,804 shares to settle accounts payable and accrued liabilities at $0.20 per Ordinary Share. Other than as disclosed herein, there are no securities convertible into or exchangeable for, or other rights to acquire, Ordinary Shares of Electro outstanding and no person has any agreement, right or privilege capable of becoming such for the purchase, subscription, allotment or issue of any of the unissued securities of Electro, such condition being subject to change upon agreement with BWR should funds be required for filings prior to closing of the Proposed Transaction.

The exchange ratio of the Consolidation shall not exceed one for ten unless otherwise agreed by the parties. BWR intends to apply to the TSXV to have the common shares of the Resulting Issuer listed and posted for trading on the TSXV. The Proposed Transaction is an arm’s length transaction.
