On March 12, 2026, the Company issued 8,152,200 common shares to two investors for cash proceeds of $1,500,000. Warrants issued with the common shares with an issuance date fair value of $1,103,119 were netted against the gross proceeds, yielding net proceeds of $396,881.
On March 24, 2026, 135,206 common shares previously issued to an investor were returned to treasury for $30,742.

 

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had 265,964,990 common shares issued and outstanding.

On March 12, 2025, the Company issued 600,000 common shares for services, with a grant date fair value of $100,000.

 

 

Preferred shares

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2026:

 

On March 12, 2026, the Company issued 10,726,579 Series A-1 preferred shares to an investor in a private placement for aggregate gross proceeds of $3,000,000 (CAD $0.38 per share, determined using the Bank of Canada USD:CAD exchange rate published two business days prior to closing). The preferred shares have no par value and were issued under the authority in the Company’s articles to issue an unlimited number of preferred shares in series. Each preferred share is convertible, at the option of the holder at any time, into one common share of the Company at a conversion price of CAD $0.38 per common share, subject to customary adjustments. This conversion provision was determined to have an inception date fair value of $910,517, which was netted against the gross proceeds, yielding net proceeds of $2,089,483. At any time after the eighteen-month anniversary of issuance (September 12, 2027), the Company may cause all outstanding preferred shares to be converted into common shares at the conversion price then in effect, upon the occurrence of either (i) a change of control of the Company, or (ii) the 20-day volume-weighted average trading price of the common shares being at least CAD $0.70 during any 20-trading-day period following the eighteen-month anniversary. The preferred shares are entitled to cumulative dividends at a rate of 15% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears. Two-thirds of each dividend (equal to 10% per annum) is payable in cash, and one-third (equal to 5% per annum) is payable in kind in additional preferred shares. The Company may, on one or more occasions, defer the cash portion of a dividend payment until the next succeeding dividend payment date; however, if a cash dividend payment is deferred by more than 45 days, the full 15% per annum rate applies to the deferred cash portion (rather than 10%). In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, holders of preferred shares are entitled to receive, in preference to holders of common shares, an amount equal to CAD $0.38 per preferred share plus any declared but unpaid dividends, before any distribution is made to common shareholders. Except as required by law, the preferred shares do not carry voting rights and holders of preferred shares are not entitled to vote at any shareholder meeting. Upon conversion, the resulting common shares carry the voting rights associated with common shares. The preferred shares are not redeemable at the option of either the holder or the Company. The preferred shares and the underlying conversion shares are subject to a four-month hold period under Canadian securities laws and CSE policies, and have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act; they were issued in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) and/or Regulation D under the U.S. Securities Act. The Company has covenanted to use its best efforts, following expiry of the applicable hold periods, to register the conversion shares for sale on the Canadian Securities Exchange, or other similar exchange.

 

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had 10,726,579 Series A-1 preferred shares issued and outstanding.
