In connection with the Private Placement, the Company issued an aggregate of 256,550 non-transferrable finder's warrants (the "Finder's Warrants") and paid finder's commissions of an aggregate of $24,574. A total of 36,050 Finder's Warrants were issued on the same terms as the NFT Warrants and 220,500 Finder's Warrants were issued on the same terms as the FT Warrants.

Property acquisition

On July 7, 2023, the Company issued 100,000 common shares of the Company to acquire additional mineral claims, extending the size of its Beaver-Lynx property. Fair value of the common shares issued of $7,000, was measured at the closing market price of common shares at the date of issuance.

Exploration Projects

Beaver-Lynx Property, British Columbia

Exploration Update

On April 11, 2022, the Company announced it had identified unreported significant magnesium (Mg) grades from historical 2014 drilling on the Beaver property, completed by previous operators. Highlights included drill hole BN14-23 intersecting 100.6 meters at an average grade of 21.5% Mg with 0.14% Ni (nickel). These holes were drilled in the Skelton and Ring zones - not drill tested by Inomin in the 2021 drilling campaign - as well as the North Lobe zone. The historic results, combined with the 2021 drill results, demonstrate that high-grade magnesium mineralization is widespread at Beaver, as well as lower-grade, sulphide nickel.

On April 19, 2022, the Company announced completion of a ground magnetics survey on the Lynx property, generating numerous drill targets. Approximately 171 line-kilometres (kms) of magnetic readings were taken across two grids encompassing the Bear and a portion of the Skulow zones, two large 2 x 3 km nickel targets. The delineated magnetic structures - typically associated with mineralization - will be used for drill targeting. Given the geologic and mineral similarities, the Company anticipates Lynx hosts potentially comparable magnesium and nickel grades as at Beaver.

On June 27, 2022, the Company announced receipt of positive initial test results demonstrating the potential for carbon capture and storage at Beaver property. The tests, carried-out by researchers at the University of British Columbia ("UBC"), demonstrate that samples from the Company's 2021 critical mineral discoveries, contain key minerals that sequester carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere.

Highlights of test findings and possible implications:

  • Beaver samples contain magnesium-rich minerals such as brucite and hydrotalcite group minerals that react quickly with CO2 in the atmosphere;
  • 60% of analysed samples contain moderate to substantial levels of brucite, a form of magnesium key to carbon capture and storage;
  • Brucite is the key mineral for carbon capture as it reacts with carbon dioxide; 1% - 2% weight (wt) brucite content is considered significant;
  • Beaver samples contain up to 11% wt brucite which is very substantial;
  • Beaver tailings are good candidates for CO2 capture using techniques developed by UBC;
  • A substantial reduction in CO2 greenhouse gas emissions could enable carbon neutral mining and lower operating costs; and
  • With significant emission reduction, it is technically possible to create a carbon negative mining operation and the opportunity to generate carbon credits.

Management's Discussion and Analysis

March 31, 2023

On November 28, 2022, the Company announced staking 1,516 hectares of mineral claims to enlarge the Company's Beaver-Lynx critical minerals project to 22,436 hectares. The new claims were acquired to cover prospective magnetic targets identified by airborne surveys.

On January 19, 2023, the Company announced metallurgical test work for the extraction of magnesium from 2021 Beaver drill core samples achieved recoveries of 99% using hydrochloric acid (HCl) leaching and a 40% recovery from a low-cost carbonate extraction. The metallurgical test results, completed by SGS Canada Inc., demonstrate good potential to extract a very high level of magnesium utilizing conventional processing. Nickel recoveries of 58% are also achievable through floatation. These positive test results are an important milestone for the Company's Beaver-Lynx critical minerals property.

Highlights of metallurgical tests:

  • Drill core samples contain significant amounts of magnesium in the form of magnesite and brucite.
  • Hydrometallurgical processing tested two leaching options: HCl and high-pressure CO2.
  • HCl leaching was effective in extracting 99% of magnesium from whole ore and after floatation.
  • High pressure CO2 leach testing reported 40% recovery as magnesium carbonate.
  • Up to 58% of total nickel was extracted by flotation.
  • It is expected that optimization of extraction techniques would markedly increase recoveries.

On February 2, 2023, the Company announced signing a drilling agreement for the Company's Beaver-Lynx property, and drilling started in June 2023. The drilling program is aimed at expanding Inomin's significant 2022 discovery by testing new priority targets and working towards delineating resources at Beaver. Future maiden drilling is planned at the Lynx area to test if mineralization is similar to discoveries at Beaver. Drilling was completed in July 2023, and further drilling is anticipated in autumn and/or the new year depending on various factors.

Recent drilling at the Beaver property, consisting of 4 holes totaling 968 metres, targeted the South and Ring zones located approximately 6 kilometres (km) and 4.5 km south respectively of Inomin's drilling discovery in the Spur zone (hole B21-02) that intersected 252.1 metres grading 20.6% magnesium, 0.16% nickel, and 0.33% chromium. The objective of the drilling program was to test for significant intervals containing
