Dear Sirs:

 

Re:Modern Mining Technology Corp.

 

We have acted as special Canadian counsel to Modern Mining Technology Corp., a British Columbia corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the Company’s filing of an offering statement on Form 1-A filed on the date hereof (the “Offering Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Regulation A under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). The Offering Statement contemplates the offering (the “Offering”) for sale of up to a maximum of 7,058,823 common shares (the “Common Shares”) of the Company to raise an aggregate total of up to US$30,000,000 at a subscription price of US$4.25 per Common Share.

 

The Company has engaged Digital Offering, LLC, a FINRA and SEC registered broker-dealer (“Digital Offering”) to act as Lead Selling Agent with respect to the Offering, and as compensation for such services, the Company has agreed, pursuant to an engagement letter agreement between the Company and Digital Offering, dated September 3, 2025 (the “Engagement Agreement”), to pay a cash commission of 7.0% to Digital Offering on sales of the Common Shares in the Offering and to issue to Digital Offering up to a maximum of 211,764 warrants (the “Agent Warrants”), as evidenced by a warrant certificate (the “Agent Warrant Certificate”), pursuant to which Digital Offering will be entitled to, upon exercise of such Agent Warrants, purchase one Common Share for each Agent Warrant exercised for up to a maximum of 211,764 Common Shares (the “Agent Warrant Shares”).
