(1) We have engaged Digital Offering, LLC (“Digital Offering”) to act as lead selling agent (the “Lead Selling Agent”) to offer our common shares (the “Shares”) to prospective investors in this offering (the “Offering”) on a “best efforts” basis, which means that there is no guarantee that any minimum amount will be received by us in this Offering. In addition, the Lead Selling Agent may engage one or more sub-agents or selected dealers to assist in its marketing efforts (Digital Offering, together with such sub-agents and/or dealers collectively, the “Selling Agents”). Digital Offering is not purchasing the Shares offered by us and is not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of Shares in this Offering before a closing occurs. We will pay a cash commission of 7.0% to Digital Offering on sales of the Shares in this Offering and issue a warrant to Digital Offering to purchase a number of Shares equal to 2.5% of the total number of Shares sold in this Offering, exercisable for five years at an exercise price equal to 125% of the public offering price, subject to adjustments (the “Agent Warrant”). Digital Offering has agreed to remit .50% of this cash commission to the Company as a rebate to be applied towards the Company’s platform and marketing fees. See “Plan of Distribution” for details of compensation payable to the Lead Selling Agent in connection with the Offering.

 

 

 

 

(2) Does not account for the expenses of the Offering. See “Use of Proceeds” for estimated Offering expenses payable by the Company in connection with this offering.
(3) The Agent Warrant is being issued as partial compensation to the Lead Selling Agent. The value of the Agent Warrant set forth in the table above is based on the number of Shares underlying the Agent Warrant multiplied by the offering price of the Shares in this Offering of $4.25 per Share. The actual value of the Agent Warrant utilizing an options pricing model would be less than the amount indicated in the table.
(4) We estimate that, in addition to the selling commission payable to the Lead Selling Agent, total expenses of the Offering will be approximately $1,995,000, assuming this Offering is fully subscribed. Includes (i) the $45,000 onboarding fee paid by the Company to Equifund Technologies LLC (“Equifund”), (ii) an estimated $500,000 in investor fees of $50 per investor payable by the Company to Equifund (assuming 10,000 investors in this Offering), (iii) payment processing fees payable by the Company to Equifund of approximately $650,000, and (iv) estimated expenses of the Offering (including the EDGARization, filing, printing, legal, marketing, accounting and other miscellaneous expenses) of approximately $800,000. See “Plan of Distribution” for further details.

 

Modern Mining Technology Corp., a corporation formed under the laws of the Province of British Columbia (the “Company”, “we,” or “our”), is offering up to $30,000,000 or 7,058,823 Shares (the “Maximum Offering”) at a purchase price of $4.25 USD per share on a “best efforts” basis. Although the Company, may raise up to $30,000,000 in this offering, it may, in its sole discretion, decide to terminate the offering earlier, including after the Company reaches its internal target amount of $15,000,000.  We are selling our Shares through a Tier 2 offering pursuant to Regulation A (Regulation A+) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and we intend to sell the Shares through the Selling Agent.

 

We intend to apply to have the Shares listed on the NYSE American LLC (“NYSE American”) under the symbol “MDRN.” To qualify for such listing, this Offering must meet the following minimum quantitative standards of NYSE American: (i) completion of the Offering at a price per Share of at least $4.00; (ii) at least 400 public shareholders; (iii) public float of at least 1,000,000 Shares; (iv) an aggregate market value of publicly held Shares of $15.0 million; (v) aggregate stockholders’ equity of at least $4 million; and (vi) at least two years of operating history (the “Minimum Quantitative Standards”). The fact that an applicant company for listing may meet the Minimum Quantitative Standards does not necessarily mean that its application will be approved. NYSE American retains broad discretion to consider other factors including, but are not limited to, the applicant’s historical record and pattern of growth, its financial integrity (including the applicant’s ability to meet its anticipated financial liquidity requirements for at least 12 months following listing), and its future outlook (the “Minimum Qualitative Standards” and together with the Minimum Quantitative Standards, the “Minimum Listing Standards”). If our application is approved, we intend to request that the listing of the Shares will be made effective upon NYSE American’s certification of our Form 8-A, which we plan to file concurrently with qualification of, or a post-qualification amendment to, the offering statement (the “Offering Statement”) of which this offering circular forms a part. If the Shares are not approved for listing on NYSE American, we will not complete the Offering contemplated hereby. No assurance can be given that our application to list on NYSE American will be approved or that an active trading market for the Shares will develop. The Shares are not currently listed or quoted on any exchange.

 

We will issue to the Lead Selling Agent the Agent Warrant to purchase such number of Shares equal to 2.5% of the total number of Shares sold in this Offering, at a per Share price equal to 125% of the per Share price of the Shares offered hereby (subject to adjustments). The Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular forms a part also registers the issuance of the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Agent Warrant (although the Lead Selling Agent has agreed not to sell the Agent Warrant or any of the shares issuable upon exercise of the Agent Warrant until six months after the commencement of the Offering). We do not intend to list the Agent Warrant on a national securities exchange or an over-the-counter quotation system. See “Plan of Distribution” for a description of these arrangements.

 

 

 

 

The Shares will not be listed on the NYSE American upon the qualification by the SEC of the Offering Statement of which this offering circular forms a part. As a result, no sale may be made to you in this Offering, if you are a natural person, if the aggregate purchase price you pay is more than 10% of the greater of your annual income or net worth.

This summary is not complete and does not contain all the information that you should consider before deciding whether to invest in our Shares. You should read this entire Offering Circular carefully, including the “Risk Factors” section, our historical consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, each included elsewhere in this Offering Circular.

Our Company

 

Modern Mining Technology Corp. (formerly known as Urban Mining International Inc.) is a “landfill-to-commodity” focused business venture, offering a cleaner, safer, and lower-cost alternative compared to traditional mining operations. Our core business is aimed at processing and extracting strategic commodities from the vast, growing, and largely ignored global resource of electronic waste (“E-Waste”), and transforming these end-of-life landfill-bound materials into high-value resources. Value is captured by using our aqueous based processes to recover, process and refine commodity metals such as: gold, palladium, silver, copper and potentially 30 other metals.

 

Our Market

 

Our market consists of two parts — E-Waste feed supply and produced commodity sales.

 

E-Waste Feed Supply

 

The report, entitled Global E-Waste Monitor 2024 (the “Report”), provides that the world generated a staggering, and a record high, 62 million tonnes (Mt) (1,000 kg per tonne) of E-waste in 2022, representing billions of dollars of strategically-valuable resources dumped, squandered, and wasted. This is up 82% from 2010. In volume, this 62 million tonnes of E-waste would fill 1.55 million Semi Trucks, roughly enough pickup trucks to form a bumper-to-bumper line encircling the Earth’s equator. The Report also predicts global E-Waste will rise another 30% and reach 82 million tonnes annually by 2030 driven by increased technology use, shorter device life spans, and fewer repair options. The U.S. is the second largest generator of E-Waste in the world. The Report further indicates that in 2022 alone, approximately $62 billion worth of gold, silver, copper, platinum and other high-value, recoverable materials were wasted through landfill dumping or incineration burning, rather than being collected for treatment and reuse. It is Modern Mining’s business objective to address this situation and recover lost commodity materials from this E-Waste.

 

Commodity Sales

 

The Journal of Management Science and Engineering1 (the “Journal”) also produced findings that the cost to recycle E-Waste is significantly less than the cost of traditional mining. Lower production costs is a strategic advantage compared to traditional commodity producers. In addition to an increasing world demand for commodities, a number of large companies have announced their planned roadmaps to a more socially responsible supply chain. For example, in 2025, Apple announced that 24% of the materials it shipped in Apple products came from recycled or renewable sources, and it intends to use 100% renewable or recyclable materials in its products in the future, while Dell reemphasized its commitment to over 50% of product content being made from recycled, renewable or low emission materials by 2030. Also in 2025, Google announced that it used 20% recycled content in 2024 products with a goal to increase recycled materials usage. These are three examples of a growing trend of companies being more aware of their supply chains.

 

Our Business, Our Products and Services

 

Our wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary, Modern Mining Technology Corp. (formerly, Urban Mining International Inc.), largely focusing on research and development in the E-Waste sector, conducted internal and external bench scale and pilot plant testing from its former facilities in Raleigh, North Carolina to demonstrate proof of concept. The external tests were done to ensure that we would be able to liberate metals and separate them from the plastic in which they are imbedded. Metallic Sand Concentrate (“MSC”) was successfully created by this process. The internal tests were done to ensure that high-grade/upgraded E-waste feedstock would be able to undergo purification, which it was, and we were able to produce a doré bar. The test work was aimed at generating technical inputs needed for our proposed plan to design a commercial scale E-Waste processing facility using our proposed proprietary two-step Pre-Concentration Plant (“PCP”) and Aqueous Purification Plant (“APP”) process.

 

 

1See Comparing the Costs and Benefits of Virgin and Urban Mining; Zeng, Xia et al.

To achieve our objectives, we have developed a two-step propriety process while our envisioned value-chain can be broken down into 3 main stages:

 

1)We secure quality E-Waste feedstock from primary recyclers.

 

2)We separate the plastics from the metals using our proprietary pre-concentration methods. The plastics are then shipped to downstream third-party recyclers, suppliers, and certified waste handlers.

 

3)The concentrated metals streams can be sold as intermediate products, or treated though our proprietary aqueous purification process, and the purified metal products can then be sold into industrial supply chains.

 

The following depicts the Company’s three main processing steps:

 

 

 

We plan to sell final products produced by the PCP and APP on the metal commodities markets into both domestic and international supply chains.

 

We have engaged a third-party process modelling and industrial optimization firm to assist in layout optimization, three dimensional (“3D”) modelling, and dynamic simulation studies on our first commercial scale PCP and APP. These plants will be co-located in our future commercial facility in North Carolina. Our current Greenville facility presently serves only as a pilot and demonstration plant that we intend to use to continue to optimize our processes that we ultimately plan to move to commercial scale production at a future location, or expand our current facility. In the long-term, we intend to secure a larger facility in the Raleigh or Greenville area of North Carolina to serve as our commercial-scale production facility although such future facility has yet to be identified as our current pilot plant facility still has significant capacity that we foresee being adequate in the short-term. The commercial PCP will be designed to treat approximately 8,000 tonnes of E-Waste per year and the commercial APP will be designed to be able to process concentrate from up to four PCPs.

 

After commercial start-up of our initial PCP and APP plants (expected to take approximately 18 months inclusive of a 6 month build-out, a 6-month commissioning program, and a 6 month ramp-up period), we believe that we can be a commercial producer of commodity materials, supplying both domestic and international supply chains with strategic metals. The processes we have developed for recycling E-Waste are environmentally beneficial compared to material going to landfill. Furthermore, we believe that the design of our proprietary processes (PCP and APP) will allow for the ability to scale and grow our business, and take advantage of a worldwide resource, E-Waste.

Our Competitive Strengths

 

Combining Four Core Market Trends

 

Modern Mining anticipates benefiting from the overlap of four core market trends: (a) the growing global demand for commodity metals (examples — global push for electrification, growth in China, Ukraine rebuilding); (b) the importance of strengthening and developing transparent and socially responsible domestic supply chains, and onshoring the supply of critical materials; (c) the importance of developing sustainable and environmentally friendly driven solutions to support a ‘circular’ economy given the projected growth in global E-waste generation; and (d) the increasing importance of hedging against inflationary pressures.

 

Benefit from Proprietary Technology

 

We have developed proprietary technologies that we believe set us apart from other E-Waste processors and from other commodity producers. We believe that our two-step approach of regional pre-concentration and centralized purification, combined with our modular and scalable design, will reduce capital and operating costs and will allow for a rapid expansion into other future potential major E-Waste generating locations.

 

Designed to Comply with Government Mandates

 

Due to our anticipated high recovery rates and sustainable, environmentally friendly processes, and low/non-toxic controlled effluent, we believe we are well-positioned to comply with environmental guidelines around the world.

 

Our E-Waste recycling processes are environmentally friendly and do not generate any significant gaseous, liquid, or solids emissions only noise, air borne dust, and sewer discharges at this time. Our pre-concentration processes are purely water based with no chemical addition, and our purification methods utilize controlled aqueous based reagent blends in connection with our refined metal production. To that end, we have noise control and dust control systems in place and we currently use a closed-loop water recirculation system to manage effluent discharge. We envision that we will be well positioned to meet any environmental guidelines around the world when and if we expand our operations from our current facility in Greenville, North Carolina.

 

Global environmental guidelines that may be applicable to our operations include (a) the Basel Convention, which monitors the transboundary movements of hazardous and other wastes; (b) the UN Sustainable Development Goals encompassing E-Waste, such as SDG 6, which covers clean waste and sanitation, and SDG 12, which covers sustainable consumption and production patterns; (c) E-Waste legislation implemented around the world, such as Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) programs to shift the burden of e-waste management from local municipalities to producers (d) U.S. Inflation Reduction Act; and (e) U.S. Senate hearings banning the export of E-waste (SEERA, June 20, 2023).

 

Superior to Current Standard E-Waste Recycling Processes

 

We believe that our business plan sets us apart from others in the industry, in particular given our ability to be one of the low/non-carbon generating processors in the space with our proprietary aqueous based pre-concentration and purification technologies, versus the incineration-based methods of others in the industry. E-waste contains numerous toxic additives and hazardous substances that pose significant risk to human health and our environment if not disposed of and treated properly (examples — mercury, lead, heavy metals, brominated flame retardants, chlorofluorocarbons, hydrochlorofluorocarbons, dioxins). In China and other parts of the world, recycling of E-Waste can be a major hazard. Other locations include India and Ghana, Liberia, and Nigeria. Informal and primitive E-Waste recycling occurs regularly, where workers and others are exposed to dangerous chemicals with potentially long-term adverse health effects. Modern Mining plans to cleanly and safely process these substances, Incineration methods are extremely energy intensive methods2. The plastics are burned off resulting in major carbon dioxide and other hazardous emissions. Attempts to separate metals using pyrometallurgical methods result in significant metal losses as not all metals can be economically recovered. Modern Mining’s process, being aqueous-based, is largely carbon neutral, safer for both workers and for the environment, and allows for the recovery of a broader range of metals as separation and recovery is driven by physical methods and simple reagent addition, not complex pyrometallurgy.

Decreased Risk Profile

 

Traditional exploration and mining projects are inherently layered with significant risk as a consequence of having to deal with the earth’s crust and all of its natural variability. Major risks include: (a) exploration risk (the success rate of making a new discovery is low); (b) geological risk (the made grades of newly discovered deposits are generally decreasing); (c) engineering risk (the nature of newly discovered deposits is complex) and (d) geopolitical risk (various commodity resources are hosted in politically unstable and hostile jurisdictions).

 

In contrast, E-Waste is a man-made engineered product. It contains a very prescriptive blend and known quantity of strategic metals. As a result, the processing of E-Waste carries negligible exploration, geological, and geopolitical risk. Furthermore, as industry standard payment terms for our feedstock E-Waste are linked to the proportions of metals recovered, the impact and risk of fluctuating commodity prices are reduced as well. We believe feedstock E-Waste can also deliver 100 times better3 grades than traditional mined ores and the processing of E-Waste can carry less than 1/70th the capital expenditures4 of a traditional gold mine. Modern Mining aims to provide our stakeholders with the potential upside value associated with commodities investments, all the while minimizing downside risk exposure common to conventional mining projects.

 

Availability of Supply

 

The amount of E-Waste produced by the world in 2016 was approximately 50 million tonnes5. With 5% of that E-Waste being printed circuit boards (“PCBs’), that amounts to 2.5 million tonnes of potential feedstock, of which only 17.4% was being recycled. At our current plant design capacity of approximately 8,000 tonnes per PCP, capturing “wasted” E-Waste would require over 250 concentrator plants. It is envisioned that 1 tonne of PCBs is equivalent in volume to three gaylord pallet boxes.

 

We currently have non-binding letters of intent to secure two times the quantity of feedstock needed to operate our initial PCP at 100% capacity, however, there are no guaranteed obligations for such suppliers to provide any amount of such feedstock to us.

 

Positioned to Benefit from Raising Commodity Prices

 

We further believe we are positioned to benefit from any rise in commodity metal prices for our recovered metals: Gold, Silver, Copper, Platinum and Palladium.

 

Continuous Process Research and Development Plans

 

We plan to have a continuing research and development program. This program will have two main goals. The first goal will be to optimize our proprietary processes to increase recoveries and reduce costs. The second goal will be to expand our core technology to be able to recover additional metals and to be able to process additional types of E-Waste feedstock.

 

 

3See S&P Capital IQ data publicly available which reports grade and tonnage values for the reserves and resources of every active primary gold mine currently in production across the world up to the date September 5, 2025. The average gold grade of global reserves and resources is approximately 1.24 g/t Au. We anticipate the average grade of our feedstock to be approximately136 g/t Au, which represents a grade 100 times better than traditional mined ores like gold.
4See S&P Capital IQ data publicly available. The average capital expenditure for every operating and/or feasibility complete primary gold project in North America between August 2020 and August 2025 is approximately $700 million. Our estimated capital expenditure costs are anticipated to be approximately 10 million, yielding a figure of 1/70th the capital expenditure of traditional ore mines.

Our Growth Strategy

 

The Company intends to expand its footprint to other locations around the United States and internationally (target of 1 PCP per year over 4 years), so that multiple concentrator plants are strategically located geographically near major third-party, primary recycling facilities, significantly reducing raw material transportation costs. Our plan is that the first additional PCPs will feed into the initial APP in North Carolina. Expansion of our aqueous purification capacity will be undertaken as material supply and economics dictate.

 

Our North Carolina Plant

 

In September 2022, we secured a facility lease containing approximately 10,000 square feet of effective working space in nearby Greenville, North Carolina to serve as our pilot plant and demonstration facility.

 

It is anticipated that this facility will allow us to operate at approximately up to 5% (avg. plant capacity of 1 tonne per day in short term ramp-up) of the processing capacity envisioned for our future planned commercial-scale plant. We intend to use this facility to house both our pilot PCP and APP equipment. We intend to operate our pilot and demonstration plant as needed for the following business purposes:

 

To demonstrate the operability and scalability of our full end-to-end process;

 

To generate additional operating data for detailed engineering and scale-up studies for our commercial plant;

 

To conduct process expansion studies;

 

To optimize the performance objectives of our technology; and

 

To serve as an operations training platform to help streamline the commissioning and start-up activities of our commercial plant.

 

We elected to make North Carolina our U.S. processing home as a logical extension of our past local research efforts, favorable incentives, proximity to major logistics networks, and direct access to some of the world’s largest supplies of E-Waste through proximity to the densely populated eastern U.S. seaboard.

 

In the long-term, we intend to secure a larger facility in the Raleigh or Greenville area of North Carolina to serve as our commercial-scale production facility although such future facility has yet to be identified as our current pilot plant and demonstration facility still has significant capacity that we foresee being adequate in the short-term.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and a Foreign Private Issuer

 

As an issuer with less than $1.235 billion in total annual gross revenues during our last fiscal year, we will qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) and this status will be significant if and when we become subject to the ongoing reporting requirements of the Exchange Act upon filing and effectiveness of a Form 8-A. An emerging growth company may take advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements and is relieved of certain other significant requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to public companies. In particular, as an emerging growth company we:

 

will not be required to obtain an auditor attestation on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended;

 

will not be required to provide a detailed narrative disclosure discussing our compensation principles, objectives and elements and analyzing how those elements fit with our principles and objectives (commonly referred to as “compensation discussion and analysis”);

 

will not be required to obtain a non-binding advisory vote from our members on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements (commonly referred to as the “say-on-pay,” “say-on-frequency” and “say-on-golden-parachute” votes);

 

will be exempt from certain executive compensation disclosure provisions requiring a pay-for-performance graph and CEO pay ratio disclosure;

 

may present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, or MD&A; and

 

will be eligible to claim longer phase-in periods for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards.

 

We intend to take advantage of all of these reduced reporting requirements and exemptions, including the longer phase-in periods for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards, and hereby elect to do so. Our election to use the phase-in periods may make it difficult to compare our financial statements to those of non-emerging growth companies and other emerging growth companies that have opted out of the phase-in periods under Section 107 of the JOBS Act.

 

Under the JOBS Act, we may take advantage of the above-described reduced reporting requirements and exemptions for up to five years after our initial sale of common equity pursuant to a registration statement declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or such earlier time that we no longer meet the definition of an emerging growth company. Note that this Offering, while a public offering, is not a sale of common equity pursuant to a registration statement, since the Offering is conducted pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements. In this regard, the JOBS Act provides that we would cease to be an “emerging growth company” if we have more than $1.235 billion in annual revenues, have more than $700 million in market value of our common shares held by non-affiliates, or issue more than $1.07 billion in principal amount of non-convertible debt over a three-year period.

 

In addition, upon the consummation of this Offering, we will report in accordance with the rules and regulations applicable to a “foreign private issuer.” As a foreign private issuer, we will take advantage of certain provisions under the rules that allow us to follow the applicable laws of the Province of British Columbia for certain corporate governance matters. Even when we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, as long as we continue to qualify as a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, we will be exempt from certain provisions of the Exchange Act that are applicable to U.S. domestic public companies, including:

 

the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations with respect to a security registered under the Exchange Act;

 

the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing with the SEC of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q containing unaudited financial and other specified information, and current reports on Form 8-K upon the occurrence of specified significant events; and

 

Regulation Fair Disclosure (“Regulation FD”), which regulates selective disclosures of material information by issuers.

 

6

 

 

As a foreign private issuer, we will have four months after the end of each fiscal year to file our annual report on Form 20-F with the SEC. In addition, as a result of the Holding Foreign Insiders Accountable Act (the “HFIAA”) our executive officers and directors will be required to report transactions in our equity securities in accordance with section 16(a) of the Exchange Act upon our class of common shares becoming registered pursuant to section 12 of the Exchange Act unless the SEC grants an exemption for foreign private issuers whose insiders are subject to SEDI filing requirements in Canada. However, our executive officers and directors will continue to be exempt from the short-swing profit liability provisions contained in section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.

 

Foreign private issuers, like emerging growth companies, are exempt from certain more stringent executive compensation disclosure rules. As such, even when we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, as long as we continue to qualify as a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, we will continue to be exempt from the more stringent compensation disclosures required of public companies that are not foreign private issuers.

 

We may take advantage of these exemptions until such time as we are no longer a foreign private issuer. We are required to determine our status as a foreign private issuer on an annual basis at the end of our second fiscal quarter. We would cease to be a foreign private issuer at such time as more than 50% of our outstanding voting securities are held by U.S. residents and any of the following three circumstances applies:

 

(i)the majority of our executive officers or directors are U.S. citizens or residents;

 

(ii)more than 50% of our assets are located in the United States; or

 

(iii)our business is administered principally in the United States.

 

In this Offering Circular, we have taken advantage of certain of the reduced reporting requirements as a result of being an emerging growth company and a foreign private issuer. Accordingly, the information that we provide in this Offering Circular may be different than the information you may receive from other public companies in which you hold equity interests. If some investors find our securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the prices of our securities may be more volatile.

RISK FACTORS SUMMARY

 

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

 

we are an early-stage company with limited operating history and may never become profitable;

 

our revenue depends on maintaining and increasing feedstock of E-Waste supply commitments as well as securing new customers and off-take agreements;

 

in addition to commodity prices, our revenues will be primarily driven by the volume and composition of E-Waste feedstock materials to be processed at our future facilities and changes in the volume or composition of E-Waste feedstock processed could significantly impact our revenues and results of operations;

 

our success will depend on our ability to economically source, extract and recover E-Waste, and to meet the market demand for sustainable and environmentally driven solutions for E-Waste processing;

 

we may not be able to successfully implement our growth strategy, on a timely basis or at all;

 

the development of our Greenville, North Carolina facility, and any future projects are subject to risks, including with respect to engineering, permitting, procurement, construction, commissioning and ramp-up, and we cannot guarantee that these projects will be completed in a timely manner, that our costs will not be significantly higher than estimated, or that the completed projects will meet expectations with respect to their productivity or the specifications of their and products, among others;

 

we may be unable to manage future growth effectively;

 

failure to materially increase recycling capacity and efficiency could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition;

 

future acquisitions and strategic investments could be difficult to integrate, divert the attention of key management personnel, disrupt our business, dilute shareholder value, and harm our results of operations and financial conditions; and

 

expanding internationally involves risks that could delay our expansion plans and/or prohibit us from entering markets in certain jurisdictions, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

 

Using a credit card to purchase Shares may impact the return on your investment as well as subject you to other risks inherent in this form of payment.

 

Risks Related to our Regulatory Framework

 

We may not be able to obtain or maintain the necessary permits, licenses, or regulatory approvals required to operate or expand our business, which could curtail our operations. 

 

Changes in laws, regulations, or their enforcement could require costly operational changes or result in material liabilities. 

 

Risks Related to our Shares and this Offering

 

Significant shareholders, including holders of Investor Rights Warrants and Convertible Debentures, may exert substantial control over the company, potentially leading to conflicts of interest with other shareholders.

 

As a foreign private issuer, we are subject to less stringent U.S. reporting and governance requirements, which may reduce transparency and shareholder protections compared to U.S. domestic companies. 

 

Listing on NYSE American will increase our regulatory burden and compliance costs, and failure to meet listing requirements could result in delisting and reduced liquidity for our shares. 

 

We may issue additional shares or equity securities without shareholder approval, diluting existing shareholders’ ownership and potentially depressing our share price. 

 

We are likely to be treated as a U.S. corporation for federal tax purposes, potentially resulting in double taxation and complex tax compliance obligations. 

 

Using a credit card to purchase shares may increase investment costs and expose investors to additional financial risks.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our Shares involves a high degree of risk. The SEC requires that we identify risks that are specific to our business and our financial condition. You should carefully consider the following risk factors and the other information in this Offering Circular before investing in our securities. Our business and results of operations could be seriously harmed by any of the following risks. The risks set out below are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, reputation, financial condition, results of operations, revenue and future prospects could be materially adversely affected and you could lose all or part of your investment in the Shares. In such case, the value of our securities could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

 

Risks Related to our Business and Industry

 

We are an early-stage company with limited operating history and may never become profitable.

 

We are a development stage company with no meaningful commercial revenues and only net losses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, our revenue was $Nil and we recorded a net loss of $37,286,840 and for the year ended December 31, 2024, our revenue was $Nil and we recorded a net loss of $2,305,221. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, our revenue was $Nil and we recorded a net loss of $1,437,523 and for the year ended December 31, 2023, our revenue was $Nil and we recorded a net loss of $2,702,050. Our primary sources of liquidity are currently the funds raised from the issuance of the offering of the Urban Mining International, Inc. UMI Warrants, our common shares, the 2022 Debenture Offering, the 2024 Debenture Offering, the funds borrowed from Blue Bird Capital Enterprises, LLC, the funds borrowed from certain other shareholders and the funds borrowed from former directors and officers. We expect both our capital and operating expenditures will increase significantly in connection with our ongoing activities.

 

We expect to require adequate proceeds generated from this Offering and additional funding to expand our operations and develop our sales and distribution channels. However, there can be no assurance that additional funding will be available to us for the development of our business, which will require the commitment of substantial resources. Accordingly, you should consider our prospects in light of the costs, uncertainties, delays and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in the early stages of development. Potential investors should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties that an early-stage company with a very limited operating history will face. In particular, potential investors should consider that we may be unable to:

 

successfully implement or execute our business plan if our business plan is not sound or for other reasons;

 

obtain sufficient and affordable quantities of high quality feedstock;

 

effectively process the E-Waste we obtain to produce sufficient quantities of commercially saleable commodities;

 

develop our proposed facilities;

 

effectively pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions;

 

adjust to changing conditions or keep pace with increased demand;

 

attract and retain an experienced management team; or

 

raise sufficient funds in the capital markets to effectuate our business plan, including building production capacity.

 

We believe that our performance and future success is dependent on multiple factors that present significant opportunities for us to increase revenues, but also pose risks and challenges. If we cannot successfully develop, manufacture and distribute our products, or if we experience difficulties in the development process, such as capacity constraints, quality control problems or other disruptions, we may not be able to develop or offer market-ready commercial products at acceptable costs, which would adversely affect our ability to effectively enter the market or expand our market share. A failure by us to achieve a low-cost structure through economies of scale or improvements in cultivation, manufacturing or distribution processes would have a material adverse effect on our commercialization plans and our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.

 

12

 

 

Our revenue depends on obtaining, maintaining and increasing feedstock of E-Waste supply commitments as well as securing new customers and off-take agreements.

 

We must obtain, maintain and grow our E-Waste feedstock supply commitments as well as new customers (including through entry into off-take agreements for our concentrates and products) in order to generate revenue. As of the date of this Offering Circular, we have no firm commitments for the supply of E-Waste feedstock to our operating facility, and only have non-binding letters of intent from numerous suppliers. Such suppliers have no contractual obligation to provide us any E-waste feedstock for our current operations. Going forward, we may be unable to secure contracts with such E-Waste feedstock vendors and even if we do secure such contracts, E-Waste feedstock suppliers may change or delay supply contracts for any number of reasons, such as force majeure or government approval factors that are unrelated to Modern Mining. Likewise, we do not currently have any off-take agreements for the sale of our products. Even if we do secure such off-take contracts, suppliers may fail to perform under their contracts for similar reasons outlined above.

 

As a result, in order to operate our business, we must develop and obtain feedstock supply and product off-take agreements. However, it is difficult to predict whether and when we will secure such commitments and/or contracts due to competition for suppliers and the lengthy process of negotiating supplier agreements as well as buyer contracts, all of which may be affected by factors that we do not control, such as market and economic conditions, financing arrangements, commodity prices, environmental issues and government approvals.

 

In addition to commodity prices, our revenues will be primarily driven by the volume and composition of E-Waste feedstock materials to be processed at our future facilities and changes in the volume or composition of E-Waste feedstock processed could significantly impact our revenues and results of operations.

 

Our future revenues depend on processing high volumes of E-Waste feedstock, and our revenues will be directly impacted by the chemistry of the feedstock processed, particularly as market chemistries shift. Certain feedstock chemistries produce raw materials for which we receive higher prices than others. A decline in overall volume of E-Waste feedstock processed, or a decline in volume of chemistries with higher priced content relative to other chemistries, could result in a significant decline in our revenues, which in turn would have a material impact on our results of operations.

 

Our success will depend on our ability to economically source, extract, and recover E-Waste, and to meet the market demand for sustainable and environmentally driven solutions for E-Waste processing.

 

Our future business depends in large part on our ability to economically and effectively process and recover strategic metals and materials from E-Waste, and to meet the market demand for sustainable and environmentally driven solutions for E-Waste processing. Although we have conducted research and development (“R&D”) and testing of our proprietary two-step PCP and APP process, we will need to scale our processing capacity in order to successfully implement our growth strategy and plan to do so in the future by, among other things, successfully building and developing our first commercial facility in Greenville, North Carolina. Although we have experience in processing E-Waste materials in our previous facilities, such operations were conducted on a limited scale, and we have not yet developed or operated a facility on a commercial scale to produce and sell end products. We do not know whether we will be able to develop efficient and low-cost processing capabilities, or whether we will be able to secure reliable sources of supply, in each case that will enable us to meet the production standards, costs and volumes required to successfully process E-Waste and meet our business objectives and customer needs. Even if we are successful in high-volume recycling and processing in our future facilities, we do not know whether we will be able to do so in a manner that avoids significant delays and cost overruns, including as a result of factors beyond our control, such as problems with suppliers, or in time to meet the commercialization schedules of future recycling needs or to satisfy the requirements of our customers. Our ability to effectively reduce our cost structure over time is limited by the fixed nature of many of our planned expenses in the near-term, and our ability to reduce long-term expenses is constrained by our need to continue investment in our growth strategy. Any failure to develop and scale such manufacturing processes and capabilities within our projected costs and timelines could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

We may not be able to successfully implement our growth strategy, on a timely basis or at all.

 

Our future growth, results of operations and financial condition depend upon our ability to successfully implement our growth strategy, which, in turn, is dependent upon a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control, including our ability to:

 

economically process E-Waste and recover strategic metals and materials and meet customers’ business needs;

 

effectively introduce methods for higher extraction and higher recovery rates of strategic metals, including metals recovery from R&D initiatives;

 

complete the construction of our future facilities, including the Greenville, North Carolina facility, at a reasonable cost and on a timely basis;

 

effectively ramp-up our facilities to expected performance targets;

 

invest and keep pace in technology, research and development efforts, and the expansion into additional commodities recovery beyond gold, silver, copper, and palladium;

 

secure and maintain required strategic supply arrangements, and obtain appropriate operating environmental and industrial quality certifications;

 

effectively compete in the markets in which we operate; and

 

attract and retain management or other employees who possess specialized knowledge and technical skills.

 

There can be no assurance that we can successfully achieve any or all of the above initiatives in the manner or time period that we expect. Further, achieving these objectives will require investments that may result in both short-term and long-term costs without generating any current revenue and therefore may be dilutive to earnings. We cannot provide any assurance that we will realize, in full or in part, the anticipated benefits we expect to generate from our growth strategy. Failure to realize those benefits could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

 

The development of our Greenville, North Carolina facility, and future projects, if any, are subject to risks, including with respect to engineering, permitting, procurement, construction, commissioning and ramp-up, and we cannot guarantee that these projects will be completed in a timely manner, that our costs will not be significantly higher than estimated, or that the completed projects will meet expectations with respect to their productivity or the specifications of their end products, among others.

 

Our Greenville, North Carolina facility (herein, the “Facility”), and future projects, if any, are subject to development risks, including with respect to engineering, permitting, procurement, construction, commissioning and ramp-up. Because of the uncertainties inherent in estimating construction and labor costs and the potential for the scope of a project to change, it is relatively difficult to evaluate accurately the total funds that will be required to complete the Facility, or future projects. Further, our estimate of the amount of time it will take to complete the Facility, or future projects, are based on assumptions about the timing of engineering studies, permitting, procurement, construction, commissioning and ramp-up, all of which can vary significantly from the time an estimate is made to the time of completion. We cannot guarantee that the costs of the Facility, or future projects, will not be higher than estimated, or that we will have sufficient capital to cover any increased costs, or that we will be able to complete the Facility, or future projects, within expected timeframes. Any such cost increases or delays could negatively affect our results of operations and ability to continue to grow, particularly if the Facility, or any future project, cannot be completed. Further, there can be no assurance that the Facility will perform at the expected production rates or unit costs, or that the end products will meet the intended specifications.

 

We may be unable to manage future growth effectively.

 

Even if we can successfully implement our growth strategy, any failure to manage our growth effectively could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. We intend to expand our operations around the United States, and internationally in the long-term, which will require us to hire and train new employees; accurately forecast supply and demand, production and revenue; control expenses and investments in anticipation of expanded operations; establish new or expand current design, production, and sales and service facilities; and implement and enhance administrative infrastructure, systems and processes. Future growth may also be tied to acquisitions, and we cannot guarantee that we will be able to effectively acquire other businesses or integrate businesses that we acquire. Failure to efficiently manage any of the above could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

 

14

 

 

Failure to materially increase recycling capacity and efficiency could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

 

Although our future commercial facility in North Carolina is expected to have an annual total processing capacity of approximately 8,000 tonnes of E-Waste, the future success of our business depends in part on our ability to significantly increase our recycling capacity and efficiency. We may be unable to expand our business, satisfy demand from customers, maintain our competitive position and achieve profitability if we are unable to build and operate any future facilities. The construction of future facilities will require significant cash investments and management resources and may not meet our expectations with respect to increasing capacity and efficiency. For example, if there are delays in any future planned facilities, or if our facilities do not meet expected performance standards or are not able to produce materials that meet the quality standards we expect, we may not meet our target for adding capacity, which would limit our ability to increase sales and result in lower-than-expected sales and higher than expected costs and expenses. Failure to drastically increase recycling and processing capacity or otherwise satisfy customers’ demands may result in a loss of market share to competitors, damage our relationships with our key customers, a loss of business opportunities or otherwise materially adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.

 

We have not yet demonstrated commercial-scale metal recoveries from E-Waste, and actual operating results may differ materially from our laboratory and pilot-plant projections.

 

Although our proprietary PCP and APP processes have produced encouraging bench-scale and pilot-scale results, we have no experience operating these processes at the throughput rates, metal concentrations and continuous-run durations contemplated for our first commercial facility. Scale-up frequently introduces unanticipated engineering challenges, lower recoveries, higher reagent consumption, fouling, wear, downtime and maintenance costs. Should recoveries or unit costs deviate adversely from our current projections, we may be unable to meet offtake specifications, satisfy lender covenants or achieve positive operating margins, any of which would have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

Future acquisitions and strategic investments could be difficult to integrate, divert the attention of key management personnel, disrupt our business, dilute shareholder value, and harm our results of operations and financial condition.

 

We may in the future seek to acquire or invest in, businesses, products, or technologies that we believe could complement our operations or expand our breadth, enhance our capabilities, or otherwise offer growth opportunities. While our growth strategy includes broadening our product offerings, implementing an aggressive marketing plan and employing product diversification, there can be no assurance that our systems, procedures and controls will be adequate to support our operations as they expand. We cannot assure you that our personnel, systems, procedures or controls will be adequate to support our operations in the future or that we will be able to successfully implement appropriate measures consistent with our growth strategy. As part of our planned growth and diversified product offerings, we may have to implement new operational and financial systems, procedures and controls to expand, train and manage our employee base, and maintain close coordination among our staff. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so, or that if we are able to do so, we will be able to effectively integrate them into our existing staff and systems.

 

Additionally, the integration of our acquisitions and pursuit of potential future acquisitions may divert the attention of management and cause us to incur various expenses in identifying, investigating, and pursuing suitable acquisitions, whether or not they are consummated. Any acquisition, investment or business relationship may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures. In addition, we have limited experience in acquiring other businesses. Specifically, we may not successfully evaluate or utilize the acquired products, assets or personnel, or accurately forecast the financial impact of an acquisition transaction, including accounting charges. Moreover, the anticipated benefits of any acquisition, investment, or business relationship may not be realized, or we may be exposed to unknown risks or liabilities associated with our acquisitions.

 

15

 

 

We may not be able to find and identify desirable acquisition targets or we may not be successful in entering into an agreement with any one target. Acquisitions could also result in dilutive issuances of equity securities or the incurrence of debt, which could harm our results of operations. In addition, if an acquired business fails to meet our expectations, our business, results of operations, and financial condition may suffer. In some cases, minority shareholders may exist in certain of our non-wholly-owned acquisitions and may retain minority shareholder rights which could make a future change of control or necessary corporate approvals for actions more difficult to achieve and/or more costly.

 

We may also make strategic investments in early-stage companies developing products or technologies that we believe could complement our business or expand our breadth, enhance our technical capabilities, or otherwise offer growth opportunities. These investments may be in early-stage private companies for restricted shares. Such investments are generally illiquid and may never generate value. Further, the companies in which we invest may not succeed, and our investments could lose their value.

 

Expanding internationally involves risks that could delay our expansion plans and/or prohibit us from entering markets in certain jurisdictions, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

 

At present, we have no immediate intention to expand our operations outside of North America. If we were to expand more broadly and pursue international operations, those operations would be subject to certain risks inherent in doing business abroad, including:

 

political, civil and economic instability;

 

corruption risks;

 

trade, customs and tax risks;

 

currency exchange rates and currency controls;

 

limitations on the repatriation of funds;

 

insufficient infrastructure;

 

restrictions on exports, imports and foreign investment;

 

increases in working capital requirements related to long supply chains;

 

changes in labor laws and regimes and disagreements with the labor force;

 

difficulty in protecting intellectual property rights and complying with data privacy and protection laws and regulations; and

 

different and less established legal systems.

 

We will be dependent on our facilities. If one or more of our facilities become inoperative, capacity constrained or if operations are disrupted, our business, results of operations or financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

 

Our revenue will be dependent on the continued operations of our facilities, including our Greenville, North Carolina head office/processing facility and any other facilities we may develop in the future. To the extent that we experience any operational risk including, among other things, fire and explosions, severe weather and natural disasters (such as floods and hurricanes), failures in water supply, major power failures, equipment failures (including any failure of our information technology, air conditioning, and cooling and compressor systems), a cyber-attack or other incident, failures to comply with applicable regulations and standards, labor force and work stoppages, including those resulting from local or global pandemics or otherwise, or if our current or future facilities become capacity constrained, we may be required to make capital expenditures even though we may not have sufficient available resources at such time.

 

16

 

 

Additionally, there is no guarantee that the proceeds available from our insurance policies will be sufficient to cover such capital expenditures. Our insurance coverage and available resources may prove to be inadequate for events that may cause significant disruption to our operations. Any disruption in our recycling processes could result in production delays, scheduling problems, increased costs or production interruption, which, in turn, may result in our customers deciding to send their E-Waste feedstock to our competitors. We will be dependent on our future facilities, which will require a high degree of capital expenditures. If one or more of our future facilities become inoperative, capacity constrained or if operations are disrupted, our business, results of operations or financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

 

Our insurance coverage may prove inadequate, may not be available on acceptable terms, or may not cover all operating risks, which could leave us exposed to significant uninsured losses.

 

We carry property, general liability, environmental impairment, cyber-security and directors’ and officers’ insurance in amounts we believe are customary for a company at our stage of development. However, insurance markets for specialty recycling operations are limited, premiums are volatile, and policy exclusions can be significant. Certain catastrophic events—such as major equipment failure, chemical release, explosions, severe weather, natural disasters, terrorism or cyber-attacks—may be uninsurable, not economically insurable, or subject to sub-limits, high deductibles or coverage exclusions. If we were to incur a significant uninsured or under-insured loss, our financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected, and we might be forced to seek additional capital on unfavorable terms or cease the affected operations.

 

We may need to raise additional funds in the future to meet our capital requirements and such funds may not be available to us on commercially reasonable terms or at all, which could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.

 

Our operations are highly capital-intensive. Although we believe that we will have sufficient funds to meet our capital requirements for the next 24 months, we may in the future need to raise additional funds, including through the issuance of equity, equity linked or debt securities or through obtaining credit from government or financial institutions, and the availability of additional funds to us will depend on a variety of factors, some of which are outside of our control. Additional funds may not be available to us on commercially reasonable terms or at all, which could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition. If additional funds are raised by issuing equity or equity-linked securities, our shareholders may incur dilution. As of September 30, 2025,we have also issued interest bearing promissory notes in the aggregate amount of $1,796,923 comprised of $1,624,737 in principal and $172,186 in accrued interest, due on demand, which sum shall be payable on demand at any time after the date of the issuance. We may not have sufficient funds to pay the amounts due under the outstanding promissory notes if payment is demanded prior to the completion of the Offering.

 

Our financial situation creates doubt as to whether we will continue as a going concern.

 

We are a development stage company with no meaningful commercial revenues and incurred a net loss of $37,286,840 for the nine months ended September 30,2025, $2,305,221 for the year ended December 31, 2024, a net loss of $2,702,050 for the year ended December 31, 2023 and expect to incur a net loss for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, and thereafter, primarily as a result of the costs of listing, building processing plants as well as increased operating expenses to execute our business plan and growth strategy. There can be no assurances that we will be able to achieve a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or obtain funding from this Offering or additional financing through private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing necessary to support our working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, we will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on acceptable terms. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If adequate working capital is not available, we may be forced to discontinue operations, which would cause investors to lose their entire investment.

 

17

 

 

Our business is subject to operational risks that could disrupt our business, some of which may not be insured or fully covered by insurance.

 

Our operations are subject to risks inherent in the E-Waste industry, including potential liability which could result from, among other circumstances, personal injury, environmental claims or property damage some of which may not be insured or fully covered by insurance. The availability of, and the ability to collect on, insurance coverage is subject to factors beyond our control and is not guaranteed to cover any or all of our losses in every circumstance. Our insurance coverage may also be inadequate to cover liabilities related to such operational risks. We have no control over changing conditions and pricing in the insurance marketplace and the cost or availability of various types of insurance may change dramatically in the future. Moreover, we may not be able to maintain adequate insurance in the future at rates we consider reasonable and commercial justifiable, and insurance may not continue to be available on terms as favorable as our current arrangements. The occurrence of a significant uninsured claim, or a claim in excess of the insurance coverage limits maintained by us could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

We are subject to the inherent risk of exposure to environmental pollution claims.

 

The electronics-recycling and metals-processing industries are subject to intense public and regulatory scrutiny regarding environmental justice, worker safety, greenhouse-gas emissions, water usage and supply-chain transparency. Non-governmental organizations, local community groups, labor activists, socially responsible investment funds or the media may allege, whether or not justified, that our operations, suppliers or customers have adverse environmental or social impacts. As a concentrator and refiner of E-Waste containing metals and user of chemical products, we face an inherent risk of exposure to pollution and environmental liability claims, regulatory action and litigation if our processes are alleged to have caused bodily harm or injury. Adverse reactions resulting from contamination of air, soil, and water sources could occur. We may be subject to various liability claims, including, among others, that our concentrator and refinery facilities caused injury or illness, including inadequate disposal of chemicals, discharge of chemicals into the air, possible side effects or interactions with such chemical substances. Liability claims or regulatory actions against us could result in increased costs, could adversely affect our reputation with our clients and consumers generally, and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. There can be no assurances that we will be able to obtain or maintain environmental liability insurance on acceptable terms or with adequate coverage against potential liabilities. Such insurance is expensive and may not be available in the future on acceptable terms, or at all. The inability to obtain sufficient insurance coverage on reasonable terms or to otherwise protect against potential liability claims could prevent or inhibit the concentration and processing of E-Waste and separation of minerals.

 

The mining and metal recycling industries face strong opposition.

 

Many political and social organizations oppose mining and mineral/metal recycling for their environmental risks. Our business will need support from local governments, industry participants, consumers and residents to be successful. Additionally, there are large, well-funded businesses and industry groups that may have a strong opposition to the mining and mineral/metal recycling industries. For example, the pharmaceutical and alcohol industries have traditionally opposed mining and mineral/metal recycling. Any efforts by these or other industries opposed to mining and mineral/metal recycling to halt or impede mining and mineral/metal recycling could have detrimental effects on our business.

 

Decreases and fluctuations in benchmark prices for the metals contained in our offtake could significantly impact our revenues and results of operations.

 

The prices that we obtain for our offtake are generally tied to commodity prices for their principal contained metals, such as gold, silver, copper and palladium. Fluctuations in the prices of these commodities will affect our revenues and declines in the prices of these commodities could have a material adverse impact on our revenues. Any significant decline in our revenues will have a material impact on our results of operations.

 

Fluctuations in commodities prices, such as the metals/minerals we are extracting from E-Waste, are caused by varied and complex factors beyond our control or the control of our suppliers, including global supply and demand balances and inventory levels; global economic and political conditions; international regulatory, trade and tax policies, including national tariffs; commodities investment activity and speculation; interest rates; the strength of the U.S. dollar compared to foreign currencies; the price and availability of substitute products; and changes in technology. Volatility in global economic growth, particularly in developing economies, has the potential to adversely affect future demand and prices for commodities. Geopolitical uncertainty and protectionism, such as the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the conflict between Israel and Hamas, and the new US tariff policy implemented in 2025, all have the potential to inhibit international trade and negatively impact business confidence, which creates the risk of constraints on our ability to trade in certain markets and has the potential to increase price volatility.

 

18

 

 

Metals and Mineral prices may be affected by supply from China, which has become the largest producer of minerals in the world, and by changes in demand for products that require certain minerals. Rising trade tensions between the U.S. and China and efforts by the Chinese government to reduce debt levels contributed to slowdowns in China’s growth. A continued slowing in China’s economic growth and demand and continued trade tensions between the U.S. and China could result in lower production of minerals and higher mineral prices which could have a material adverse impact on our operations, including cash flow and the ability to purchase raw materials from our suppliers if they raise prices as well. The adoption and expansion of trade restrictions, changes in the state of China-U.S. relations, including the current trade war, or other governmental action related to tariffs or trade agreements, or policies are difficult to predict and could adversely affect demand for our minerals, our costs, our customers, our suppliers, and the U.S. economy, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, or financial condition. Additionally, our suppliers could be raising prices of materials which could in turn have a material adverse effect on our operations.

 

Disruptions in our supply chain could adversely affect our business.

 

Our initial commercial facility will rely on specialized shredders, sensor-based sorters, dissolution vessels, filtration systems, reagents and control software that are sourced from a small number of vendors, many of whom have long lead times or are located outside the United States. Global shortages of semiconductors, stainless steel, pumps, or critical reagents; transportation bottlenecks; trade restrictions; labor disputes; outbreaks of disease; or geopolitical tensions could delay delivery of equipment, increase capital expenditures, and impair our ability to achieve planned throughput rates. If key suppliers default, we may be unable to obtain suitable replacement components on acceptable terms, which could materially delay commissioning schedules and raise operating costs.

 

Global trade conditions, inflation and consumer trends that originated during the COVID-19 pandemic continue to persist and have created significant disruptions to the global supply chain, which may impact our ability to obtain equipment and other supplies necessary for our business on a timely basis and at anticipated costs. Any continued supply chain disruptions, inflation or shortages in the availability of equipment from our suppliers, could adversely affect our business and operating results. Circumstances such as another Pandemic, or a global recession may result in lost or delayed sales orders, as many of our targeted customers may cut back their proposed capital spending in the face of economic uncertainty and limited access to financing. This would impact the ability of us to grow our business and, as a result, sales orders may be lower than expected. Any decrease in sales would negatively impact our cash flows and other financial results. Different markets and different geographies in which we operate may be impacted to different extents, making it difficult to forecast the likely impact.

 

Our reliance on the experience and expertise of our management may cause adverse impacts to us if a management member departs.

 

Our success is dependent upon the ability, expertise, judgment, discretion and good faith of our senior management and key employees, including, without limitation: (i) Kuljit (Jeet) Basi, Director, Chief Executive Officer and President; (ii) David Whitney, Chief Financial Officer; (iii) Darrell Campanella, General Manager; (iv) Chris Oppel, Production Manager; and (v) Mark Zorko, Chairman of the Board of Directors. Our business may be severely disrupted if we lose the services of our key executives and employees or fail to add new senior and middle managers to our management. Our future success is heavily dependent upon the continued service of our key executives. We also rely on a number of key technology staff for our continued operation. Our future success is also dependent upon our ability to attract and retain qualified senior and middle managers to our management team. If one or more of our current or future key executives or employees are unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, we may not be able to easily replace them, and our business may be severely disrupted. In addition, if any of these key executives or employees joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we could lose customers and suppliers and incur additional expenses to recruit and train personnel.

 

Our Chief Financial Officer also serves as the Chief Financial Officer of other companies, which may divert his time and attention from our operations.

 

Our Chief Financial Officer, Mr. David Whitney, has previously served as the Chief Financial Officer for various public and private companies in North America. Mr. Whitney is also currently the Chief Financial Officer of Starfighters Space, Inc. These additional roles, and particularly should any complications arise in connection with these roles, may divert Mr. Whitney’s time and efforts away from our day-to-day operational and other business matters, which may in turn impact our business, prospects, financial conditions, and operating results.

 

19

 

 

We are subject to the risk of litigation or regulatory proceedings, which could impact our financial results.

 

All industries, including the E-Waste recycling industry, are subject to legal claims, with or without merit. We are not currently, nor have we ever been, party to any legal proceedings, but we could be involved in various litigation and regulatory proceedings arising in the normal course of business in the future. Due to the inherent uncertainty of the litigation process, we may not be able to predict with any reasonable degree of certainty the outcome of any litigation or the potential for future litigation. Regardless of the outcome, any legal or regulatory proceeding could have an adverse impact on our business, prospects, financial conditions, and operating results due to defense costs, the diversion of management resources and other factors.

 

We operate in an emerging, competitive industry and if we are unable to compete successfully our revenue and profitability will be adversely affected.

 

The E-Waste recycling market is competitive. As the industry evolves and the demand increases, we anticipate that competition will increase. We also compete against companies that have a substantial competitive advantage because of longer operating histories and larger budgets, as well as greater financial and other resources. National or global competitors could enter the market with more substantial financial and workforce resources, stronger existing customer relationships, and greater name recognition, or could choose to target medium to small companies in our traditional markets. Competitors could focus their substantial resources on developing a more efficient recovery solution than our solutions. Competition also places downward pressure on our contract prices and profit margins, which presents us with significant challenges in our ability to maintain strong growth rates and acceptable profit margins. If we are unable to meet these competitive challenges, we could lose market share to our competitors and experience an adverse impact to our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Increases in income tax rates, changes in income tax laws or disagreements with tax authorities could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

We are subject to income taxes in the United States and Canada. Increases in income tax rates or other changes in income tax laws that apply to our business could reduce our after-tax income from such jurisdiction and could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

Our operating and financial results may vary significantly from period to period due to fluctuations in our operating costs and other factors.

 

We expect our period-to-period operating and financial results to vary based on a multitude of factors, some of which are outside of our control. We expect our period-to-period financial results to vary based on operating costs, which we anticipate will fluctuate with the pace at which we increase our operating capacity. As a result of these factors and others, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our operating or financial results, especially in the short term, are not necessarily meaningful and that these comparisons cannot be relied upon as indicators of future performance. Moreover, our financial results may not meet the expectations of equity research analysts, ratings agencies, or investors, who may be focused only on quarterly financial results. If any of this occurs, the trading price of our Shares could fall substantially, either suddenly or over time.

 

We may not be able to achieve and maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, a failure of which may prevent us from accurately reporting our financial results or detecting and preventing fraud.  

 

We are subject to reporting obligations under the U.S. securities laws.  We are required to prepare a management report on our internal control over financial reporting containing our management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.  In addition, our independent registered public accounting firm must report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.  Our management may conclude that our internal control over our financial reporting is not effective.  Moreover, even if our management concludes that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, our independent registered public accounting firm may conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is not effective. Our reporting obligations as a public company may place a significant strain on our management, operational and financial resources and systems for the foreseeable future.

 

Effective internal controls over financial reporting are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and, together with adequate disclosure controls and procedures, are designed to prevent fraud. Any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations.

 

A “material weakness” is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

In preparing our consolidated financial statements for the ended December 31, 2024, we and our independent registered public accounting firm identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as related to inappropriately designed and executed management review controls over both routine and subjective areas.

 

To remediate our material weaknesses, we expect to incur additional costs for addressing our material weaknesses and deficiencies. Our remedial measures will include: Development of policies and procedures that require approval of journal entries by the appropriate supervisor of, or an individual that is in an oversight role to, the individuals who prepare them and retain such documentation.

 

20

 

 

Natural disasters, unusually adverse weather, epidemic or pandemic outbreaks, cyber incidents, boycotts and geopolitical events could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.

 

The occurrence of one or more natural disasters, such as fires, hurricanes and earthquakes, unusually adverse weather, epidemic or pandemic outbreaks, cyber incidents such as ransomware attacks, boycotts and geo-political events, such as tariffs, civil unrest and acts of terrorism (including cyber terrorism or other cyber incidents), or similar disruptions could materially adversely affect our business, power supply, results of operations or financial condition. These events could result in physical damage to property, an increase in energy prices, temporary or permanent closure of the Facility, temporary lack of an adequate workforce in a market, temporary or long-term disruption in the supply of raw materials, temporary disruption in transport from overseas, or disruption to our information systems. We may incur expenses or delays relating to such events outside of our control, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

We may be subject to intellectual property rights claims by third parties, which could be costly to defend, could require payment of significant damages and could limit our ability to use certain technologies.

 

We are subject to the risk of third parties asserting claims of infringement of intellectual property rights or violation of other statutory, license or contractual rights in technology or data. Any such claim by a third party, even if without merit, could cause us to incur substantial costs defending against such claim and could distract our management and development teams from our business.

 

Although third parties may offer a license to their technology or data, the terms of any offered license may not be acceptable or commercially reasonable and the failure to obtain a license or the costs associated with any license could cause our business, prospects, financial condition, and operating results to be adversely affected. In addition, some licenses may be non-exclusive, and therefore our competitors may have access to the same technology or data licensed to us. Alternatively, we may be required to develop non-infringing technology or data, which could require significant effort and expense and ultimately may not be successful. Furthermore, a successful claimant could secure a judgment, or we may agree to a settlement that prevents us from selling certain products or performing certain services in a given country or countries or that requires us to pay royalties, substantial damages, including treble damages if we are found to have willfully infringed the claimant’s patents, copyrights, trade secrets or other statutory rights, or other fees. Any of these events could have an adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, and operating results.

 

The laws of some foreign countries do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States, and we may encounter significant problems and costs in protecting our proprietary rights in these foreign countries.

 

Directors, executive officers and consultants may be subject to conflicts of interest.

 

We may be subject to various potential conflicts of interest because of the fact that some of our officers, directors and consultants may be engaged in a range of business activities, including certain officers, directors and consultants that provide services to other companies involved material development. Our executive officers, directors and consultants may devote time to their outside business interests, so long as such activities do not materially or adversely interfere with their duties to us. In some cases, our executive officers, directors and consultants may have fiduciary obligations associated with these business interests that may interfere with their ability to devote time to our business and affairs and that could adversely affect our operations. In addition, we may also become involved in other transactions which conflict with the interests of our directors, officers and consultants who may from time to time deal with persons, firms, institutions or corporations with which we may be dealing, or which may be seeking investments similar to those desired by us. The interests of these persons could conflict with ours. Conflicts of interest, if any, will be subject to the procedures and remedies provided under applicable laws. In particular, in the event that such a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of our directors, a director who has such a conflict will abstain from voting for or against the approval of such participation or such terms. In accordance with applicable laws, our directors are required to act honestly, in good faith and in our best interests.

We could be subject to a security breach that could result in significant damage or theft of products and equipment.

 

We rely on sophisticated information technology systems to operate our plants, manage inventory, control proprietary process parameters, and safeguard commercially sensitive and personal data. Breaches of security at our facilities may occur and could result in damage to or theft of products and equipment which is not covered by any of our insurance policies. A security breach at our facilities could result in a significant loss of inventory or work in process, expose us to liability under applicable regulations and increase expenses relating to the investigation of the breach and implementation of additional preventative security measures, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we must comply with an increasingly complex web of U.S. federal, state and foreign data-protection laws. Failure to comply, or to timely implement new requirements, could result in significant penalties and litigation.

 

If we sustain cyber-attacks or other privacy or data security incidents that result in security breaches that disrupt our operations or result in the unintended dissemination of protected personal information or proprietary or confidential information, or if we are found by regulators to be non-compliant with statutory requirements for the protection and storage of personal data, we could suffer a loss of revenue, increased costs, exposure to significant liability, reputational harm and other serious negative consequences.

 

As our operations expand, we may process, store and transmit large amounts of data in our operations, including protected personal information as well as proprietary or confidential information relating to our business and third parties. Experienced computer programmers and hackers may be able to penetrate our layered security controls and misappropriate or compromise our protected personal information or proprietary or confidential information or that of third parties, create system disruptions or cause system shutdowns. They also may be able to develop and deploy viruses, worms and other malicious software programs that attack our systems or otherwise exploit any security vulnerabilities. Hardware, software, or applications we develop or procure from third parties may contain defects in design or manufacture or other problems that could unexpectedly compromise information security. Our facilities may also be vulnerable to security incidents or security attacks, acts of vandalism or theft, coordinated attacks by activist entities, misplaced or lost data, human errors, or other similar events that could negatively affect our systems and our customer’s data.

 

Risks Related to our Regulatory Framework

 

Our business is subject to environmental and employee health and safety regulations and risks.

 

Our operations are subject to environmental and safety laws and regulations concerning, among other things, emissions and discharges to water, air and land, the handling and disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous materials and wastes, and employee health and safety. We will incur ongoing costs and obligations related to compliance with environmental and employee health and safety matters. Failure to comply with environmental and safety laws and regulations may result in additional costs for corrective measures, penalties or in restrictions on our operations. Government approvals and permits are currently and may in the future be required in connection with our operations. To the extent such approvals are required and not obtained, we may be curtailed from proceeding with the development of our operations as currently proposed.

 

There are risks associated with the regulatory regime and permitting requirements of our operations.

 

Achievement of our business objectives is contingent, in part, upon compliance with regulatory requirements enacted by governmental authorities and obtaining all regulatory approvals, where necessary, for the concentration and metal separation and sale of our products. As our only facility in operation is our pilot and demonstration plant in Greenville, North Carolina, we must comply with local and State ambient air quality standards in respect to emissions from any stack, vent, or outlet, of sulfur oxides, suspended particulates, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, etc. Furthermore, we must comply with National Ambient Air Quality Standards (“NAAQS”), water quality standards under the Clean Water Act and local noise regulations. We may not be able to obtain or maintain the necessary licenses, permits, quotas, authorizations, certifications or accreditations to operate our business going forward, or may only be able to do so at great cost. We cannot predict the time required to secure all appropriate regulatory approvals for our concentrator and purification plants, or the extent of testing and documentation that may be required by local governmental authorities in other states and other countries.

 

22

 

 

Our officers and directors must rely, to a great extent, on our local legal counsel and local consultants retained in such jurisdictions in order to keep abreast of material legal, regulatory and governmental developments as they pertain to and affect our business operations, and to assist us with governmental relations. We must rely, to some extent, on those members of management and the Board of Directors who have previous experience working and conducting business in the United States or abroad in order to enhance our understanding of and appreciation for the local business culture and practices in such jurisdictions.

 

We also rely on the advice of local experts and professionals in connection with any current and new regulations that develop in respect of banking, financing and tax matters in the jurisdictions in which we operate. Any developments or changes in such legal, regulatory or governmental requirements or in local business practices in such jurisdictions are beyond our control and may adversely affect our business.

 

We will incur ongoing costs and obligations related to regulatory compliance. Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions thereunder, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions. We may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of our operations and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations. In addition, changes in regulations, more vigorous enforcement thereof or other unanticipated events could require extensive changes to our operations, increased compliance costs or give rise to material liabilities, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Any failure on our part to comply with applicable regulations or to obtain and maintain the necessary licenses and certifications could prevent us from being able to carry on our business, and there may be additional costs associated with any such failure.

 

Our business activities are heavily regulated in all jurisdictions where we will do business. Our operations are subject to various laws, regulations and guidelines by governmental authorities relating to the handling, processing, management, distribution, transportation, storage, sale, and disposal of chemicals and minerals. In addition, we are subject to laws and regulations relating to employee health and safety, insurance coverage and the environment. Laws and regulations, applied generally, grant government agencies and self-regulatory bodies broad administrative discretion over our activities, including the power to limit or restrict business activities as well as impose additional disclosure requirements on our materials and products.

 

Any failure by us to comply with applicable regulatory requirements could:

 

require extensive changes to our operations;

 

result in regulatory or agency proceedings or investigations;

 

result in the revocation of our licenses and permits, the imposition of additional conditions on licenses to operate our business, and increased compliance costs;

 

result in damage awards, civil or criminal fines or penalties;

 

result in the suspension or expulsion from a particular market or jurisdiction of our key personnel;

 

result in restrictions on our operations or the imposition of additional or more stringent inspection, testing and reporting requirements;

 

harm our reputation; or

 

give rise to material liabilities.

 

There can be no assurance that any future regulatory or agency proceedings, investigations or audits will not result in substantial costs, a diversion of management’s attention and resources or other adverse consequences to our business.

 

In addition, changes in regulations, government or judicial interpretation of regulations, or more vigorous enforcement thereof or other unanticipated events could require extensive changes to our operations, increase compliance costs or give rise to material liabilities or a revocation of our licenses and other permits. Furthermore, governmental authorities may change their administration, application or enforcement procedures at any time, which may adversely affect our ongoing regulatory compliance costs. There is no assurance that we will be able to comply or continue to comply with applicable regulations.

 

23

 

 

We cannot predict the impact of any new environmental laws or regulations or of changes in current environmental laws or regulations on our business and operations in the future.

 

We believe we possess all material environmental permits and licenses necessary for the operation of our business and that our operations will be in substantial compliance with the terms of all applicable environmental laws and regulations. We cannot predict the impact of any new environmental laws or regulations or of changes in current environmental laws or regulations on our operations. The government may in future take steps towards the adoption of more stringent environmental regulations in respect of our business. Due to the possibility of unanticipated regulatory or other developments, the amount and timing of future environmental expenditures may vary substantially from those currently anticipated. If there is any unanticipated change in the environmental regulations, we may need to incur substantial capital expenditures to install, replace, upgrade or supplement our equipment or make operational changes to limit any adverse impact or potential adverse impact on the environment in order to comply with any new environmental protection laws and regulations. If such costs become prohibitively expensive, this may adversely affect our business operations.

 

Risks Related to our Shares and this Offering

 

The trading price of our Shares could be subject to wide fluctuations due to a variety of factors, including:

 

our actual or anticipated operating performance and the operating performance of our competitors;

 

failure of securities analysts to initiate or maintain coverage of us, changes in financial estimates by any securities analysts who follow our company, or our failure to meet the estimates or the expectations of investors;

 

any major change in our Board of Directors, management, or key personnel;

 

market conditions in our industry;

 

general economic conditions such as recessions, interest rates, fuel prices, trade policies, international currency fluctuations;

 

the effectiveness of the Company’s marketing efforts;

 

rumors and market speculation involving us or other companies in our industry;

 

announcements by us or our competitors of significant innovations, new products, services or capabilities, acquisitions, strategic investments, partnerships, joint venture or capital commitments;

 

the legal and regulatory landscape and changes in the application of existing laws or adoption of new laws that impact our business;

 

legal and regulatory claims, litigation, or pre-litigation disputes and other proceedings;

 

other events or factors, including those resulting from war, incidents of terrorism, or responses to these events; and

 

sales or expected sales of our Shares by us, our officers, directors, significant shareholders, and employees.

 

In addition, stock markets have experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many companies. The stock market in general and NYSE American have experienced price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the particular companies affected. These fluctuations may be even more pronounced in the trading market for our Shares as a result of the supply and demand forces for newly public companies. In the past, shareholders have instituted securities class action litigation following periods of share volatility.

Holders of our Investor Rights Warrants may exert significant control over us, which may limit your ability to influence corporate matters and may give rise to conflicts of interest.

 

As of the date of this Offering Circular, holders of our Investor Rights Warrants (as defined herein) held 9,705,696 Investor Rights Warrants representing 65.63% of our combined shares and Investor Rights Warrants. One holder, Blue Bird Capital Enterprises, LLC (“Blue Bird”) held 33.6% of our Investor Rights Warrants. The Investor Rights Warrants will automatically convert on a cashless basis to Shares or, assuming at least one of the IRA Warrant Triggers (as defined herein) is satisfied, IRA Unit Warrants, upon completion of this Offering and assuming an Offering Price of $4.25 and a $0.34 (C$0.425) exercise price, holders of the Investor Rights Warrants will receive 0.92 Shares or 0.92 IRA Unit Warrants, as applicable, per Investor Rights Warrant held, subject to the IRA Blocker (as defined herein). Each IRA Unit Warrant will automatically convert into additional Shares on a cashless basis upon closing of this Offering and assuming an Offering Price of $4.25 and a $0.085 (C$0.106) exercise price, holders of the Investor Rights Warrants will receive 0.98 Shares per IRA Unit Warrant held, subject to the IRA Blocker provisions. Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, holders of our Investor Rights Warrants shall be entitled to receive notice of and to attend any meeting of the shareholders of the Company and to vote on any matter at any meetings of shareholders of the Company. The Investor Rights Agreement will terminate upon completion of the Offering, and consequently, the voting rights granted under the Investor Rights Agreement to the holders of the Investor Rights Warrants will also terminate at such time. Each Investor Rights Warrant entitles the holder thereof to one vote per Investor Rights Warrant. Further, the holders of our Investor Rights Warrants, through their Warrantholder Representative, Kuljit (Jeet) Basi, shall be entitled to nominate three (3) directors to the Board subject to the provisions of the Investor Rights Agreement. See a discussion of the Investor Rights Agreement under “Business — Recent Developments.” Accordingly, holders of our Investor Rights Warrants will exert significant influence over us and any action requiring the approval of our shareholders and/or our Board prior to completion of the Offering. Significant holders of our Investor Rights Warrants, whose Investor Rights Warrants will automatically convert into Shares upon the closing of the Offering will continue to exert significant influence over us and any action requiring the approval of our shareholders following completion of the Offering. Furthermore, the interests of the holders of our Investor Rights Warrants may not always coincide with your interests or the interests of other shareholders and they may, prior to the completion of this Offering, act in a manner that advances their best interests and not necessarily those of other shareholders.

 

Holders of our Convertible Debentures may exert significant control over us, which may limit your ability to influence corporate matters and may give rise to conflicts of interest.

 

On April 7, 2022, the Company issued (herein, the “2022 Debenture Offering”) $3,331,390 principal amount of 5% unsecured convertible debentures (“2022 Debentures”) in a private placement. The 2022 Debentures were issued pursuant to an indenture made as of April 7, 2022, as supplemented May 26, 2025 (the “2022 Debenture Indenture”), between the Company and Computershare Trust Company of Canada (“Computershare”) as trustee. The 2022 Debenture Indenture provides that in the event that we complete a U.S. listing, such as this Offering, the principal amount of the 2022 Debentures plus any accrued unpaid interest will automatically convert into Shares at a conversion price equal to the lessor of (A) a 40% discount to the Offering Price, and (B) $5.00, and shall be subject to a six (6) month hold period from the listing of the Shares on a stock exchange in the United States. Up to 50% of the securities subject to the six (6) month hold period may be released early in accordance with the Pooling Agreement.

 

On August 31, 2022, we entered into the Convertible Debentures IRA, pursuant to which holders of our Convertible Debentures shall be entitled to receive notice of and to attend any meeting of the shareholders of the Company and to vote on any matter at any meetings of shareholders of the Company. For the purpose of the Convertible Debentures IRA, each $2.40 of Convertible Debentures is equal to one Share, entitling the holder thereof to one vote. See a discussion of the Convertible Debentures IRA under “Business — Recent Developments.” Accordingly, holders of our Convertible Debentures will exert significant influence over us and any action requiring the approval of our shareholders and/or our Board prior to the completion of this Offering and conversion of the Debentures into Shares. Furthermore, the interests of the holders of our Debentures may not always coincide with your interests or the interests of other shareholders and they may, prior to the completion of this Offering, act in a manner that advances their best interests and not necessarily those of other shareholders.

We are a foreign private issuer and intend to take advantage of the less frequent and less detailed reporting obligations applicable to foreign private issuers.

 

We are a “foreign private issuer”, as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, and are not subject to the same requirements that are imposed upon U.S. domestic issuers by the SEC. Under the Exchange Act, we will be subject to reporting obligations that, in certain respects, are less detailed and less frequent than those of U.S. domestic reporting companies. As a result, we will not file the same reports that a U.S. domestic issuer would file with the SEC, although we will be required to file with or furnish to the SEC the continuous disclosure documents that we are required to file in Canada under Canadian securities laws. In addition, as a result of the HFIAA our executive officers and directors will be required to report transactions in our equity securities in accordance with section 16(a) of the Exchange Act upon our class of common shares becoming registered pursuant to section 12 of the Exchange Act unless the SEC grants an exemption for foreign private issuers whose insiders are subject to SEDI filing requirements in Canada. However, our executive officers and directors will continue to be exempt from the short-swing profit liability provisions contained in section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. Therefore, if the SEC grants an exemption for foreign private issuers whose insiders are subject to SEDI filing requirements in Canada, our shareholders may not know on as timely a basis when our officers, directors and principal shareholders purchase or sell shares, as the reporting deadlines under the corresponding Canadian insider reporting requirements are longer.

 

As a foreign private issuer, we will be exempt from the rules and regulations under the Exchange Act related to the furnishing and content of proxy statements. We will also be exempt from Regulation FD, which prohibits issuers from making selective disclosures of material non-public information. While we will comply with the corresponding requirements relating to proxy statements and disclosure of material non-public information under Canadian securities laws, these requirements differ from those under the Exchange Act and Regulation FD and shareholders should not expect to receive the same information at the same time as such information is provided by U.S. domestic companies. In addition, we will have more time than U.S. domestic companies after the end of each fiscal year to file our annual report with the SEC and will not be required under the Exchange Act to file quarterly reports with the SEC.

 

In addition, as a foreign private issuer, we have the option to follow certain Canadian corporate governance practices, except to the extent that such laws would be contrary to U.S. securities laws, and provided that we disclose the requirements we are not following and describe the Canadian practices we follow instead. We may in the future elect to follow home country practices in Canada with regard to certain corporate governance matters.

 

As a result, our shareholders may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of U.S. domestic companies that are subject to all corporate governance requirements.

 

We may lose our status as a foreign private issuer in the United States, which would result in increased costs related to regulatory compliance under United States securities laws.

 

We will cease to qualify as a “foreign private issuer,” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act and Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act, if, as of the last business day of our second fiscal quarter, more than 50% of our outstanding Shares are directly or indirectly owned by residents of the United States and any of the following three circumstances applies: (i) the majority of our executive officers or directors are U.S. citizens or residents; (ii) more than 50% of our assets are located in the United States; or (iii) our business is administered principally in the United States. If we determine that we fail to qualify as a foreign private issuer, we will cease to be eligible to avail ourselves of the forms and rules designated for foreign private issuers beginning on the first day of the fiscal year following such determination. Among other things, this will result in loss of the exemption from registration under the Exchange Act provided by Rule 12g3-2(b) thereunder, and, if we are required to register our Shares under section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, we will have to do so as a domestic issuer. Further, any securities that we issue in unregistered or unqualified offerings both within and outside the United States will be “restricted securities” (as defined in Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act) and will continue to be subject to United States resale restrictions notwithstanding their resale in “offshore transactions” pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. As a practical matter, this will likely require us to register more offerings of our securities under the Securities Act on either a primary offering or resale basis, even if they take place entirely outside the United States. The resulting legal and administrative costs of complying with the resulting regulatory requirements are anticipated to be substantial, and to subject us to additional exposure to liability for which we may not be able to obtain insurance coverage on favorable terms, or at all.

 

After the completion of this Offering, we may be at an increased risk of securities class action litigation.

 

Historically, securities class action litigation has often been brought against a company following a decline in the market price of its securities. If the price of our Shares decreases and we were sued, it could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could harm our business.

 

26

 

 

Listing our Shares on a securities exchange will increase our regulatory burden.

 

We intend to apply to have our Shares listed for trading on NYSE American under the symbol “MDRN.” There is no guarantee that our application will be approved in connection with this Offering. Although to date we have not been subject to the continuous and timely disclosure requirements of exchange rules, regulations and policies of the NYSE American, we are working with our legal, accounting and financial advisors to identify those areas in which changes should be made to our financial management control systems to manage our obligations as a public company listed on NYSE American. These areas include corporate governance, corporate controls, disclosure controls and procedures and financial reporting and accounting systems. We have made, and will continue to make, changes in these and other areas, including our internal controls over financial reporting. However, we cannot assure holders of our Shares that these and other measures that we might take will be sufficient to allow us to satisfy our obligations as a public company listed on NYSE American on a timely basis and that we will be able to achieve and maintain compliance with applicable listing requirements. In addition, compliance with reporting and other requirements applicable to public companies listed on NYSE American will create additional costs for us and will require the time and attention of management. We cannot predict the amount of the additional costs that we might incur, the timing of such costs or the effects that management’s attention to these matters will have on our business.

 

NYSE American may delist our Shares, which could limit investors’ ability to engage in transactions in our Shares and subject us to additional trading restrictions.

 

If NYSE American were to delist our Shares as a result of a failure to meet its listing requirements, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

 

a limited availability of market quotations for our Shares;

 

a limited amount of news and analyst coverage for the Company; and

 

a decreased ability to obtain capital or pursue acquisitions by issuing additional equity or convertible securities.

 

We will incur increased costs as a result of operating as a public company and our management will be required to devote substantial time to new compliance initiatives.

 

As a public company, particularly after we are no longer an emerging growth company, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and rules implemented by the SEC and NYSE American, impose various requirements on public companies, including requirements to file periodic and event-driven reports with respect to our business and financial condition and operations and establish and maintain effective disclosure and financial controls and corporate governance practices. Our management and other personnel have limited experience operating a public company, which may result in operational inefficiencies or errors, or a failure to improve or maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures necessary to ensure timely and accurate reporting of operational and financial results. Our existing management team will need to devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives, and we may need to hire additional personnel to assist us with compliance. Moreover, these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time consuming and costly.

 

Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we will be required to furnish a report by our management on our ICFR, which, after we are no longer an emerging growth company, may be accompanied by an attestation report on ICFR issued by our independent registered public accounting firm if we are an “accelerated filer” or a “large accelerated filer” under the Exchange Act. To achieve compliance with Section 404 within the prescribed period, we will document and evaluate our ICFR, which is both costly and challenging. In this regard, we will need to continue to dedicate internal resources, potentially engage outside consultants, and adopt a detailed work plan to assess and document the adequacy of our ICFR, continue steps to improve control processes as appropriate, validate through testing that controls are functioning as documented, and implement a continuous reporting and improvement process for ICFR. If our management and/or auditors determine that there are one or more material weaknesses in our ICFR, such a determination could cause an adverse reaction in the financial markets due to a loss of confidence in the reliability of our consolidated financial statements.

 

27

 

 

In addition, changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure are creating uncertainty for public companies, increasing legal and financial compliance costs and making some public company required activities more time consuming. These laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations, in many cases due to their lack of specificity and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. We intend to invest resources to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards, and this investment may result in increased general and administrative expenses and divert management’s time and attention from revenue generating activities to compliance activities. If our efforts to comply with new laws, regulations and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies, regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against us and our business may be harmed.

 

We also expect that being a public company and complying with applicable rules and regulations will make it more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified executive officers and members of our Board.

 

We may issue additional Shares or other equity securities without shareholder approval, which would dilute the ownership interests of existing shareholders in the Company and may depress the market price of our Shares.

 

We may issue additional Shares or other equity securities in the future in connection with, among other things, capital raises, future acquisitions, repayment of outstanding indebtedness or grants under our 2022 Plan without shareholder approval in a number of circumstances. The issuance of additional Shares or other equity securities could have one or more of the following effects:

 

our existing shareholders’ proportionate ownership will decrease;

 

the amount of cash available per share, including for payment of dividends in the future, may decrease;

 

the relative voting strength of each previously issued and outstanding Share may be diminished; and

 

the market price of our Shares may decline.

 

Our ability to meet expectations and projections in any research or reports published by securities or industry analysts, or a lack of coverage by securities or industry analysts, could result in a depressed market price and limited liquidity for our Shares.

 

The trading market for our Shares will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts may publish about us, our business, our market, or our competitors. If no securities or industry analysts commence coverage of us, our share price would likely be less than that which would be obtained if we had such coverage and the liquidity, or trading volume of our Shares may be limited, making it more difficult for a shareholder to sell shares at an acceptable price or amount. If any analysts do cover us, their projections may vary widely and may not accurately predict the results we actually achieve. Our share price may decline if our actual results do not match the projections of research analysts covering us. Similarly, if one or more of the analysts who write reports on us downgrades our shares or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our share price could decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of us or fails to publish reports on us regularly, our share price or trading volume could decline.

 

We may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on our financial condition, results of operations and share price, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.

 

We may be forced to later write down or write off assets, restructure our operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in losses. Unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize. Even though these charges may be non-cash items and not have an immediate impact on our liquidity, the fact that we may report charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about our or its securities. In addition, charges of this nature may cause us to be unable to obtain future financing on favorable terms or at all.

 

28

 

 

We should be treated as a U.S. corporation for all U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 

Section 7874 of the of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), provides a rule pursuant to which a foreign-incorporated entity may, in certain circumstances, be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such corporation an “inverted corporation.” We should be treated as an inverted corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 7874 of the Code. This means that, notwithstanding that we are a company incorporated in Canada, we should be treated for all U.S. federal income tax purposes as if we are a U.S. corporation and you will be treated for all U.S. federal income tax purposes as holding the shares of a U.S. corporation. As such, we should be subject to U.S. federal income tax as If we were organized under the laws of the United States or a state thereof. Generally, we should be required to file a U.S. federal income tax return annually with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. We are also subject to tax in Canada. It is unclear how the foreign tax credit rules under the Code will operate in certain circumstances, given our treatment as a U.S. domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and the taxation of the Company in Canada. Accordingly, it is possible that we will be subject to double taxation with respect to all or part of our taxable income.

 

The rules under Section 7874 are complex and require analysis of all relevant facts and circumstances, and there is limited guidance and significant uncertainties as to aspects of their application. If it were determined that we should be taxed as a foreign corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 7874 of the Code, the U.S. federal income tax consequences described herein could be materially and adversely affected. For example, U.S. Holders (as defined below in “Material Tax Considerations — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations”) could be subject to the rules applicable to passive foreign investment companies. Beneficial owners of our shares should consult their own tax advisors with respect the tax consequences if we were classified as a foreign corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The remainder of this Offering Circular assumes that we will be treated for all U.S. federal income tax purposes as if we are a U.S. corporation. For a more detailed discussion on tax considerations, see “Material Tax Considerations — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” below.

 

We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.

 

We have never declared or paid any cash dividend on our Shares and do not currently intend to do so in the foreseeable future. We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development, operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Therefore, the success of an investment in our Shares will depend upon any future appreciation in their value. There is no guarantee that our Shares will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which you purchased them.

 

This Offering is being conducted on a “best efforts” basis and we may not be able to execute our growth strategy if the $30,000,000 maximum is not sold.

 

If you invest in our Shares and less than all of the offered Shares are sold, the risk of losing your entire investment will be increased. We are offering our Shares on a “best efforts” basis and we can give no assurance that all of the offered Shares will be sold. If less than $30,000,000 of Shares are sold, we may be unable to fund all the intended uses described in this Offering Circular from the net proceeds anticipated from this Offering without obtaining funds from alternative sources or using working capital that we generate. Alternative sources of funding may not be available to us at what we consider to be a reasonable cost, and the working capital generated by us may not be sufficient to fund any uses not financed by the net proceeds of this Offering. No assurance can be given to you that any funds will be invested in this Offering other than your own.

 

29

 

 

This is a fixed price offering and the fixed offering price may not accurately represent the current value of us or our assets at any particular time. Therefore, the purchase price you pay for our shares may not be supported by the value of our assets at the time of your purchase.

 

This is a fixed price offering, which means that the offering price for the Shares is fixed and will not vary based on the underlying value of our assets at any time. Our board of directors has determined the offering price in its sole discretion without the input of an investment bank or other third party. The fixed offering price for the Shares has not been based on appraisals of any assets we own or may own, or of our Company as a whole, nor do we intend to obtain such appraisals. Therefore, the fixed offering price established for the Shares may not be supported by the current value of our Company or our assets at any particular time.

 

As our initial public offering price is substantially higher than our net tangible book value per share, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution.

 

If you purchase Shares in this Offering, you will pay more for your Shares than the amount paid by our existing stockholders for their shares on a per share basis. As a result, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution in net tangible book value per share in relation to the price that you paid for your Shares. We expect the dilution as a result of the offering to be $3.55 Per Share to new investors purchasing our Shares in this Offering. In addition, you will experience further dilution to the extent that we issue Shares upon the exercise of any warrants, including the Agent Warrants issued in this Offering, or exercise of stock options under any stock incentive plans. See “Dilution” for a more complete description of how the value of your investment in our Shares will be diluted upon completion of this Offering.

 

Using a credit card to purchase Shares may impact the return on your investment as well as subject you to other risks inherent in this form of payment.

 

Investors in this Offering may have the option of paying for their investment with a credit card, which is not usual in the traditional investment markets. Transaction fees charged by your credit card company (which can reach 5% of transaction value if considered a cash advance) and interest charged on unpaid card balances (which can reach almost 25% in some states) add to the effective purchase price of the Shares you buy. The cost of using a credit card may also increase if you do not make the minimum monthly card payments and incur late fees. Using a credit card is a relatively new form of payment for securities and will subject you to other risks inherent in this form of payment, including that, if you fail to make credit card payments (e.g. minimum monthly payments), you risk damaging your credit score and payment by credit card may be more susceptible to abuse than other forms of payment. Moreover, where a third-party payment processor is used, as in this Offering, your recovery options in the case of disputes may be limited. The increased costs due to transaction fees and interest may reduce the return on your investment.

 

The SEC’s Office of Investor Education and Advocacy issued an Investor Alert dated February 14, 2018, entitled: Credit Cards and Investments – A Risky Combination, which explains these and other risks you may want to consider before using a credit card to pay for your investment.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Offering Circular contains forward-looking statements. In addition, from time to time, we or our representatives may make forward-looking statements orally or in writing. We base these forward-looking statements on our expectations and projections about future events, which we derive from the information currently available to us. Such forward-looking statements relate to future events or our future performance, including: our financial performance and projections; our growth in revenue and earnings; and our business prospects and opportunities. You can identify forward-looking statements by those that are not historical in nature, particularly those that use terminology such as “may,” “should,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “contemplates,” “estimates,” “believes,” “plans,” “projected,” “predicts,” “potential,” or “hopes” or the negative of these or similar terms. In evaluating these forward-looking statements, you should consider various factors, including: our ability to change the direction of the Company; our ability to keep pace with new technology and changing market needs; and the competitive environment of our business. These and other factors may cause our actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement. Forward-looking statements are only predictions. The forward-looking events discussed in this document and other statements made from time to time by us or our representatives, may not occur, and actual events and results may differ materially and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us. We are not obligated to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed in this document and other statements made from time to time by us or our representatives might not occur.

 

While we believe we have identified material risks, these risks and uncertainties are not exhaustive. Other sections of this Offering Circular describe additional factors that could adversely impact our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all risks and uncertainties, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements in this Offering Circular include, without limitation:

 

  we have a limited operating history in an evolving industry, making it difficult for us to forecast revenue, plan expenses, and evaluate our business and future prospects;;
     
  we have a history of losses and we may never achieve profitability;
     
  our ability to raise capital and the availability of future financing;
     
  our business involves significant risks and uncertainties that may not be covered by insurance;
     
  our business with governmental entities is subject to the policies, regulations, mandates, and funding levels of such entities and may be negatively impacted by any change thereto;
     
  we operate in competitive industries in various jurisdictions across the world;
     
our revenue depends on maintaining and increasing feedstock of E-Waste (as defined herein) supply commitments as well as securing new customers and off-take agreements;

 

in addition to commodity prices, our revenues will be primarily driven by the volume and composition of E-Waste feedstock materials to be processed at our future facilities and changes in the volume or composition of E-Waste feedstock processed could significantly impact our revenues and results of operations;

 

our success will depend on our ability to economically source, extract and recover E-Waste, and to meet the market demand for sustainable and environmentally driven solutions for E-Waste processing;

 

we may not be able to successfully implement our growth strategy, on a timely basis or at all;

 

the development of our Greenville, North Carolina facility, and future projects, if any, are subject to risks, including with respect to engineering, permitting, procurement, construction, commissioning and ramp-up, and we cannot guarantee that these projects will be completed in a timely manner, that our costs will not be significantly higher than estimated, or that the completed projects will meet expectations with respect to their productivity or the specifications of their and products, among others;

 

we may be unable to manage future growth effectively;

 

31

 

 

our inability to materially increase recycling capacity and efficiency could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition;

 

future acquisitions and strategic investments could be difficult to integrate, diver the attention of key management personnel, disrupt our business, dilute shareholder value, and harm our results of operations and financial conditions;

 

expanding internationally involves risks that could delay our expansion plans and/or prohibit us from entering markets in certain jurisdictions, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

 

  our ability to obtain or maintain the necessary permits, licenses, or regulatory approvals required to operate or expand our business;
     
  changes in laws, regulations, or their enforcement could require costly operational changes or result in material liabilities;
     
  Significant shareholders, including holders of Investor Rights Warrants and Convertible Debentures, may exert substantial control over us, potentially leading to conflicts of interest with our shareholders;
     
  as a foreign private issuer, we are subject to less stringent U.S. reporting and governance requirements, which may reduce transparency and shareholder protections compared to U.S. domestic companies;
     
  Listing on NYSE American will increase our regulatory burden and compliance costs, and failure to meet listing requirements could result in delisting and reduced liquidity for our Common Shares;
     
  the issuance of additional shares or equity securities without shareholder approval, will dilute existing shareholders’ ownership and potentially depressing the price of our Common Shares; and
     
  The treatment of us as a U.S. corporation for federal tax purposes, could potentially result in double taxation and complex tax compliance obligations.

 

Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance or achievements. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We are under no duty to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of this Offering Circular to conform our prior statements to actual results or revised expectations, and we do not intend to do so.

 

Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about:

 

current or future financial performance;

 

management’s plans and objectives for future operations;

 

uncertainties associated with product research and development;

 

uncertainties associated with dependence upon the actions of government regulatory agencies;

 

product plans and performance;

 

management’s assessment of market factors; and

 

statements regarding our strategy and plans.

 

We caution you not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Offering Circular.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

Assuming a maximum raise of $30,000,000, we estimate that the net proceeds from the sale of the Shares in this Offering will be approximately $25,905,000, after deducting underwriting commissions and estimated Offering expenses. If we raise the minimum amount required to satisfy the Minimum Quantitative Standards of $15 million, we estimate that the net proceeds we will receive from this offering will be approximately $12,580,000.

 

We intend to use the net proceeds from this Offering for the following purposes: (i) capital expenditures (45%), (ii) working capital and general corporate purposes, which may include repayment of one or more of certain interest bearing promissory notes that are payable on demand, in the event we do not have any other available capital (35%), (iii) marketing expenditures (15%) and (iv) research and development expenses (5%). Notwithstanding the foregoing, we and the Selling Agent are offering the Shares on a “best efforts” basis and are not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of Shares in this Offering. As such, we and the Selling Agent may sell less than the maximum number of Shares offered hereby, and we may receive net proceeds of less than $25,905,000.

 

The following table sets forth a breakdown of our estimated use of our gross proceeds as we currently expect to use them, assuming the sale of, respectively, 50%, 75% and 100% of the Shares.

 

   50%(3)   75%   100% 
Gross proceeds  $15,000,000   $22,500,000   $30,000,000 
Selling agent commissions  $1,050,000   $1,575,000   $2,100,000 
Investor fee  $250,000   $375,000   $500,000 
Other offering expenses  $1,120,000   $1,307,500   $1,495,000 
Net proceeds  $12,580,000   $19,242,500   $25,905,000 
                
Capital expenditures  $5,661,000   $8,659,125   $11,657,250 
Marketing  $1,887,000   $2,886,375   $3,885,750 
Research and development expenses  $629,000   $962,125   $1,295,250 
Debt repayment(1)  $2,350,000   $2,350,000   $2,350,000 
Working capital and general corporate purposes(2)  $2,053,000   $4,384,875   $6,716,750 
Total use of net proceeds  $12,580,000   $19,242,500   $25,905,000 

 

 

(1)Includes the repayment of amounts owed pursuant to demand promissory notes in favor of Blue Bird and certain other shareholders, and to Basil Botha pursuant to the Botha Transition Letter, as amended.
(2)The Company has accrued liabilities to related parties for consulting fees and director fees, including its CEO, CFO, former CFO and each of the directors, or an aggregate of approximately $1,500,000. The Company may, in its discretion, pay some or all of these accrued liabilities to related parties from its general working capital.
(3)Minimum Offering Amount.

 

We believe that the expected net proceeds from this Offering and our existing cash and cash equivalents, will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months, although we cannot assure you that this will occur.

 

The expected use of the net proceeds from this Offering represents our intentions based upon our current plans, financial condition and business conditions. Predicting the cost to be used in Modern Mining Technology Corp. and its subsidiaries’ businesses can be difficult and the amounts and timing of their actual expenditures may vary significantly depending on numerous factors including the status of our development efforts, sales and marketing activities and the amount of cash generated or used by our operations. We may find it necessary or advisable to use portions of the proceeds for other purposes. As a result, Modern Mining Technology Corp.’s management will retain broad discretion over the allocation of the net proceeds from this Offering.

 

Pending our use of the net proceeds from this Offering, we intend to invest the net proceeds in short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing instruments, and government securities. We will not close this Offering until we can establish that the Offering meets the Minimum Quantitative Standards, however, we cannot assure that all or any portion of the Common Shares will be sold.

As such, we do not intend to declare or pay cash dividends on our Shares in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay dividends will be made at the discretion of our Board of Directors subject to applicable laws and will depend upon, among other factors, our earnings, operating results, financial condition and current and anticipated cash needs.

DILUTION

 

As of the date of this Offering Circular, an aggregate of 5,082,200 shares of Common Shares are issued and outstanding.

 

If you invest in our Shares, your ownership interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the initial public offering price per Share and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per Share immediately after this Offering.

 

As of September 30, 2025, our pro forma net tangible book value was ($45,475,153), or ($8.95) per Common Share, based on 5,082,200 outstanding Common Shares.

 

If the Maximum Offering, at an offering price of $4.25 per Common Share is sold in this Offering, after deducting approximately $2,100,000 in selling commissions, $500,000 in investor fees, and $1,495,000 in other offering expenses, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value at the closing date would be approximately $23,178,426 or $0.70 per Common Share. This amount represents an immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book value of $9.65 per Common Share to our existing shareholders as of the date of this Offering Circular, and an immediate dilution in pro forma net tangible book value of approximately $3.55 per Common Share to new investors purchasing Common Shares in this Offering at a price of $4.25 per Common Share. These amounts incorporate the automatic conversion of the Investor Right Warrants, convertible debentures and SAFE Notes.

 

Net tangible book value per Share represents our total tangible assets, which are total assets less our right of use assets, less our total liabilities, divided by the number of outstanding Shares.

 

Dilution represents the difference between the amount per Share paid by investors in this Offering and the pro forma net tangible book value per Share after the Offering. The following table illustrates the approximate dilution in pro forma net tangible book value per Share to new investors as of September 30, 2025, as adjusted to give effect to the sale of, respectively, 100%, 75%, 50% and 25% of our Shares in this Offering, after deducting underwriting commissions, investor fee and other offering expenses. The following table also incorporates the automatic conversion of the Investor Rights Warrants, convertible debentures and SAFE Notes.

Our Company

 

The Company is a “landfill-to-commodity” focused business venture, offering a cleaner, safer, and lower-cost alternative compared to traditional mining operations. Our core business is aimed at processing and extracting strategic commodities from the vast, growing, and largely ignored global resource of E-Waste, and transforming these end-of-life landfill-bound materials into high-value resources. Value is captured by using our aqueous based processes to recover, process and refine commodity metals such as gold, palladium, silver, copper and potentially 30 other metals.

 

Our Market

 

Our market consists of two parts: E-Waste feed supply and produced commodity sales.

 

E-Waste Feed Supply

 

The report, entitled Global E-Waste Monitor 2024 (the “Report”), provides that the world generated a staggering, and a record high, 62 million tonnes (Mt) of E-waste in 2022, representing billions of dollars worth of strategically-valuable resources dumped, squandered, and wasted. This is up 82% from 2010. This 62 million tonnes of E-waste would fill 1.55 million semi trucks, roughly enough pickup trucks to form a bumper-to-bumper line encircling the Earth’s equator. The Report also predicts global E-Waste will rise another 30% and reach 82 million tonnes annually by 2030 driven by increased technology use, shorter device life spans, and fewer repair options. The U.S. is the second largest generator of E-Waste in the world. The Report further indicates that in 2022 alone, approximately $62 billion worth of gold, silver, copper, platinum and other high-value, recoverable materials were wasted through landfill dumping or incineration burning, rather than being collected for treatment and reuse. It is Modern Mining’s business objective to address this situation and recover lost commodity materials from this E-Waste.

 

Commodity Sales

 

The Journal of Management Science and Engineering6 (the “Journal”) also produced findings that the cost to recycle E-Waste is significantly less than the cost of traditional mining. Lower production costs is a strategic advantage compared to traditional commodity producers. In addition to an increasing world demand for commodities, a number of large companies have announced their planned roadmaps to a more socially responsible supply chain. For example, in 2025, Apple announced that 24% of the materials it shipped in Apple products came from recycled or renewable sources, and it intends to use 100% renewable or recyclable materials in its products in the future, while Dell reemphasized its commitment to over 50% of product content being made from recycled, renewable or low emission materials by 2030. Also in 2025, Google announced that it used 20% recycled content in 2024 products with a goal to increase recycled materials usage. These are three examples of a growing trend of companies being more aware of their supply chains.

Our Business, Our Products and Services

 

Our wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary, Urban Mining International Inc., largely focusing on research and development in the E-Waste sector, conducted internal and external bench scale and pilot plant testing from its former facilities in Raleigh, North Carolina to demonstrate proof of concept. The external tests were done to ensure that we would be able to liberate metals and separate them from the plastic. Metallic Sand Concentrate (“MSC”) was successfully created by this process. The internal tests were done to ensure that high-grade/upgraded E-waste feedstock was able to undergo purification, which it was, and we were able to produce a doré bar. The test work was aimed at generating technical inputs needed to for our proposed plan to design a commercial scale E-Waste processing facility using our proposed proprietary two-step Pre-Concentration Plant (“PCP”) and Aqueous Purification Plant (“APP”) process.

 

To achieve our objectives, we have developed a two-step propriety process while our envisioned value-chain can be broken down into 3 main stages:

 

1)We secure quality E-Waste feedstock from primary recyclers.

 

2)We separate the plastics from the metals using our proprietary pre-concentration methods. The plastics can then be sold to downstream third-party recyclers and suppliers.

 

3)The concentrated metals streams are treated though our proprietary aqueous purification process, and the metal products can then be sold into industrial supply chains.

 

The following depicts the Company’s three main processing steps:

 

 

 

The first step in our process is securing quality E-Waste feedstock from established primary recyclers through stringent but practical contracts to ensure source consistent quality and quantities. These recyclers collect and break down bulk products and combine the E-Waste into separate product streams for downstream processing. Our initial focus is Printed-Circuit-Boards (PCBs)

 

By its nature, the feedstock will be variable, due to the large variety of PCBs that exist. To give a basis for the plant design, we calculated a “typical” feedstock composition. This was done by assigning the feedstock into one of five categories (low grade, low to mid-grade, mid-grade, mobile phone PCBs, and ram PCBs). Metal concentration values were collected from public literature for each of these categories. The lowest non-zero published concentration for each metal and for each category was used in the typical feed stock calculations. With these metal concentration numbers, we calculated a weighted average, based on our existing non-binding supplier LOIs, and calculated a global “typical” feedstock composition. The “typical” metal concentrations was used in the typical feedstock calculations. The “typical” metal concentrations are: Cu 150.7 kg/t; Sn:14.1 kg/t; Au: 136.11 g/t; Ag: 619.65 g/t and Pd: 60.17 g/t. The calculated typical gold grade of 136 g/t is 100 times higher than the average gold mine grade.

 

Pre-Concentration Plant

 

The second step in our process is the PCP. The primary purpose of the PCP is to isolate and separate the high-value metals from the plastics, epoxy resins, and fiberglass contained in the feedstock. Building on our bench and pilot plant process designs, target commodities in the incoming feedstock will be liberated using various mechanical methods and then recovered into MSC. This will be done using various combinations of advanced beneficiation techniques, such as sensor-based sorting, gravimetric discretization, electromagnetic scanning and physical separation. By locating PCPs close to suppliers of E-Waste, we aim to reduce transportation costs of both our incoming feedstock and the MSC for downstream processing at our centralized APP.

The PCP design was tested at both the low grade and ram PCB (high grade) ends of the supply spectrum and was found to produce comparable recovery results, independent of the feedstock type.

 

Aqueous Purification Plant

 

The third step in our process is the APP itself. The primary purpose of the APP is to isolate the high-value metals within the MSC, separate them from each other, and then convert the individual metals into enriched and refined products for sale. Target commodities from the incoming MSC (such as gold, silver, copper, palladium) will be liberated and separated using liquid-based methods, and then purified into further enriched and/or refined products using specialized combinations of advanced hydrometallurgical techniques, such as precipitation reactions, ionic dissolution, lixiviant saturation and selective concentration. APPs will be strategically located in centralized hubs to take advantage of logistical and infrastructure related synergies. Commercial APPs will be expected to process MSCs from multiple PCPs, thus, they will be designed to allow the facility to operate across a wide range of metal recovery and product grade conditions.

 

Test work, coupled with published literature, indicate that an overall plant performance objective of greater than 90% recovery of economic metals is achievable for our combined processes. For illustrative purposes, based on the envisioned “typical” feedstock metal concentrations, coupled with our recovery performance objectives, it is anticipated that on average every 1,000lbs of processed feedstock will yield approximately 135 pounds of copper, 13 pounds of tin, 1.8 ounces of gold, 8.2 ounces of silver, and 0.8 ounces of palladium. Each tonne processed is envisioned to yield a potential of 4 – 8 Gold-Equivalent-Ounces (GEOs) of metal product. Gold-Equivalent-Ounces refers to a quantity of a Metal having an economic value expressed in ounces of Gold.

 

We plan to sell final products produced by the APPs on the metal commodities markets into both domestic and international supply chains.

 

The Company aims to target an All-In Sustainable Cost (AISC) of $1,650 per Gold Equivalent Ounce (GEO) produced from start-up through commercialization, and will seek to reduce AISC and grow margins post commercialization through the implementation of prescriptive growth, optimization, and R&D plans.

 

We engaged a third-party process modelling and industrial optimization firm to assist in layout optimization, 3D modelling, and dynamic simulation studies on our first commercial scale PCP and APP. These proposed plants will be co-located in our future commercial facility in North Carolina. Our current Greenville facility presently serves only as a pilot and demonstration plant that we intend to use to continue to optimize our recovery processes that we ultimately plan to move to commercial scale production at a future location. In the long-term, we intend to secure a larger facility in the Raleigh or Greenville area of North Carolina to serve as our commercial-scale production facility although such future facility has yet to be identified as our current pilot plant facility still has significant capacity that we foresee being adequate in the short-term. The commercial PCP will be designed to treat approximately 8,000 tonnes of E-Waste per year and the commercial APP will be designed to be able to process concentrate from up to four future PCPs.

 

After commercial start-up of our initial PCP and APP plants (expected to take approximately 18 months inclusive of a 6 month build-out, a 6-month commissioning program, and a 6 month ramp-up period), we believe that we can be a commercial producer of commodity materials, supplying both domestic and international supply chains with strategic metals. The processes we have developed for recycling E-Waste are environmentally beneficial compared to material going to landfill. Furthermore, we believe that the design of our proprietary processes (PCP and APP) will allow for the ability to scale and grow our business, and take advantage of a worldwide resource, E-Waste

 

To this end, the Company intends to seek external accreditation to become certified in meeting current “Reuse and Recycling Standards”( R2 or equivalent). The R2 Standard, now in its third version, was developed by a group of recycling stakeholders and industry experts. The R2v3 standard sets forth a list of voluntary principles and guidelines designed to promote and assess responsible practices for electronics recyclers. The R2v3 standard requires implementing a management system which is accountable for practices affecting worker health and safety, data security, the environment, and the downstream management of end-of-life electronic material and equipment, both domestically and internationally. The R2 Standard prioritizes reuse over recovery or disposal processes in a global effort to minimize electronic waste streams and promotes standardized testing and grading protocols for consistency across the industry.

Our Competitive Strengths

 

Combining Four Core Market Trends

 

Modern Mining anticipates benefiting from the overlap of four core market trends: (a) the growing global demand for commodity metals (examples — global push for electrification, growth in China, Ukraine rebuilding); (b) the importance of strengthening and developing transparent and socially responsible domestic supply chains, and onshoring the supply of critical materials; (c) the importance of developing sustainable and environmentally friendly driven solutions to support a ‘circular’ economy given the projected growth in global E-waste generation; and (d) the increasing importance of hedging against inflationary pressures.

 

Benefit from Proprietary Technology

 

We have developed proprietary technologies that we believe set us apart from other E-Waste processors and from other commodity producers. We believe that our two-step approach of regional pre-concentration and centralized purification, combined with our modular and scalable design, will reduce capital and operating costs and will allow for a rapid expansion into other future potential major E-Waste generating locations.

 

Designed to Comply with Government Mandates

 

Due to our anticipated high recovery rates and sustainable, environmentally friendly processes, and low/non-toxic controlled effluent, we believe we are well-positioned to comply with environmental guidelines around the world.

 

We believe our E-Waste recycling processes are environmentally friendly and should not generate any significant gaseous, liquid, or solids emissions only noise, air borne dust, and sewer discharges at this time. Our current pilot and demonstration pre-concentration processes are purely water based with no chemical addition, and our purification methods utilize controlled aqueous based reagent blends in connection with our refined metal production. To that end, we will have noise control and dust control systems in place and we will aim to use a closed-loop water recirculation system to manage effluent discharge in our commercial scale facility. We envision that we will be well positioned to meet any environmental guidelines around the world when and if we expand our operations from our current facility in Greenville, North Carolina.

 

Global environmental guidelines that may be applicable to our operations include (a) the Basel Convention, which monitors the transboundary movements of hazardous and other wastes; (b) the UN Sustainable Development Goals encompassing E-Waste, such as SDG 6, which covers clean waste and sanitation, and SDG 12, which covers sustainable consumption and production patterns; (c) E-Waste legislation implemented around the world, such as Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) programs to shift the burden of e-waste management from local municipalities to producers (d) U.S. Inflation Reduction Act; and (e) U.S. Senate hearings banning the export of E-waste (SEERA, June 20, 2023).

 

Superior to Current Standard E-Waste Recycling Processes

 

We believe that our business plan sets us apart from others in the industry, in particular given our ability to be one of the low/non-carbon generating processors in the space with our proprietary aqueous based pre-concentration and purification technologies, versus the incineration-based methods of others in the industry. E-waste contains numerous toxic additives and hazardous substances that pose significant risk to human health and our environment if not disposed of and treated properly (examples — mercury, lead, heavy metals, brominated flame retardants, chlorofluorocarbons, hydrochlorofluorocarbons, dioxins). In China and other parts of the world, recycling of E-Waste can be a major hazard. Other locations include India and Ghana, Liberia, and Nigeria. Informal and primitive E-Waste recycling occurs regularly, where workers and others are exposed to dangerous chemicals with potentially long-term adverse health effects. Modern Mining plans to cleanly and safely process these substances, Incineration methods are extremely energy intensive methods7. The plastics are burned off resulting in major carbon dioxide and other hazardous emissions. Attempts to separate metals using pyrometallurgical methods result in significant metal losses as not all metals can be economically recovered. Modern Mining’s process, being aqueous-based, is largely carbon neutral, safer for both workers and for the environment, and allows for the recovery of a broader range of metals as separation and recovery is driven by physical methods and simple reagent addition, not complex pyrometallurgy.

Decreased Risk Profile

 

Traditional exploration and mining projects are inherently layered with significant risk as a consequence of having to deal with the earth’s crust and all of its natural variability. Major risks include: (a) exploration risk (the success rate of making a new discovery is low); (b) geological risk (the made grades of newly discovered deposits are generally decreasing); (c) engineering risk (the nature of newly discovered deposits is complex) and (d) geopolitical risk (various commodity resources are hosted in politically unstable and hostile jurisdictions).

 

In contrast, E-Waste is a man-made engineered product. It contains a very prescriptive blend and known quantity of strategic metals. As a result, the processing of E-Waste carries negligible exploration, geological, and geopolitical risk. Furthermore, as industry standard payment terms for our feedstock E-Waste are linked to the proportions of metals recovered, the impact and risk of fluctuating commodity prices are reduced as well. We believe feedstock E-Waste can also deliver 100 times better8 grades than traditional mined ores and the processing of E-Waste can carry less than 1/70th the capital expenditures9 of a traditional gold mine. Modern Mining aims to provide our stakeholders with the potential upside value associated with commodities investments, all the while minimizing downside risk exposure common to conventional mining projects.

 

Availability of Supply

 

The amount of E-Waste produced by the world in 2016 was approximately 50 million tonnes10. With 5% of that E-Waste being printed circuit boards (“PCBs’), that amounts to 2.5 million tonnes of potential feedstock, of which only 17.4% was being recycled. At our current plant target design capacity of approximately 8,000 tonnes per PCP, capturing “wasted” E-Waste would require over 250 concentrator plants. It is envisioned that 1 tonne of PCBs is equivalent in volume to three gaylord pallet boxes.

 

We currently have non-binding letters of intent to secure two times the quantity of feedstock needed to operate our initial PCP at 100% capacity, however, there are no guaranteed obligations for such suppliers to provide any amount of such feedstock to us.

 

Positioned to Benefit from Raising Commodity Prices

 

We further believe we are positioned to benefit from any rise in commodity metal prices for our recovered metals: Gold, Silver, Copper, Platinum and Palladium.

 

 

8See S&P Capital IQ data publicly available which reports grade and tonnage values for the reserves and resources of every active primary gold mine currently in production across the world up to the date September 5, 2025. The average gold grade of global reserves and resources is approximately 1.24 g/t Au. We anticipate the average grade of our feedstock to be approximately136 g/t Au, which represents a grade 100 times better than traditional mined ores like gold.
9See S&P Capital IQ data publicly available. The average capital expenditure for every operating and/or feasibility complete primary gold project in North America between August 2020 and August 2025 is approximately $700 million. Our estimated capital expenditure costs are anticipated to be approximately 10 million, yielding a figure of 1/70th the capital expenditure of traditional ore mines.

Continuous Process Research and Development Plans

 

We plan to have a continuing research and development program. This program will have two main goals. The first goal will be to optimize our proprietary processes to increase recoveries and reduce costs. The second goal will be to expand our core technology to be able to recover additional metals and to be able to process additional types of E-Waste feedstock.

 

Our Growth Strategy

 

The Company intends to expand its footprint to other locations around the U.S. and internationally (target of 1 PCP per year over 4 years) so that multiple concentrator plants are strategically located geographically near major third-party, primary recycling facilities, significantly reducing raw material transportation costs. The first additional PCPs will feed into the initial APP in North Carolina. Expansion of our aqueous purification capacity will be undertaken as material supply and economics dictate.

 

Corporate Structure

 

The current corporate structure of the Company is as follows:

 

 

 

Our Property

 

In September 2022, the Company secured a facility lease containing approximately 10,000 square feet of effective working space in nearby Greenville, North Carolina to serve as its pilot plant facility.

 

It is anticipated that this facility will allow the Company to operate at approximately 5% of the processing capacity envisioned for its future planned commercial-scale plant. The Company intends to use this facility to house both its pilot PCP and APP equipment. The Company intends to operate the pilot and demonstration plant as needed for the following business purposes:

 

To demonstrate the operability and scalability of its full end-to-end process;

 

To generate additional operating data for detailed engineering and scale-up studies for its commercial plant;

 

To conduct process expansion studies;

 

To optimize the performance objectives of its technology; and

 

To serve as an operations training platform to help streamline the commissioning and start-up activities of its commercial plant.

 

The Company elected to make North Carolina its U.S. processing home as a logical extension of its past local research efforts, favorable incentives, proximity to major logistics networks, and direct access to some of the world’s largest supplies of E-Waste through proximity to the densely populated eastern U.S. seaboard.

 

The Company retained a third-party full service process modelling and industrial optimization firm to provide the Company with various studies with a view to enabling the Company to maximize its manufacturing capabilities in the long term. In particular, such company provided the following studies to Modern Mining:

 

1.Plan for Every Part (PFEP): build a complete and thorough PFEP study which will include the use of all raw materials, work-in-progress and finished goods;

 

43

 

 

2.Process Flow: perform a process flow studies that will be used as inputs for various simulations. Such studies are intended to identify options to increase the design capacity of our planned commercial facilities;

 

3.Material Flow: perform a material flow studies to identify the movement and efficiencies of material movement through the facilities;

 

4.Layout: design new layouts as the future state simulations are built, and each layout to include the material flows to be used at each stage of production; and

 

5.Future State Dynamic Simulations: build a number of future state dynamic simulators. Each simulator will include the new layout, new material flow and the new process flow for each option of the input process.

 

The above studies were completed in February 2023.

 

Our Employees

 

We currently have three full-time employees. Our main operational employees located in Greenville, North Carolina include: Darrell Campanella, General Manager; Chris Oppel, Production Manager; and David Gordon, Procurement Manager.

 

Kuljit (Jeet) Basi, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Viktoriya Griffin, Controller and Basil Botha, Principal Technical Advisor, are located in Vancouver, British Columbia. David Whitney, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, is located in Delta, British Columbia.

 

Intellectual Property

 

The individual unit operations of the Company’s two-step process are common within their various typical industries. The Company has used the equipment in a potentially non-traditional way and has developed an overall process sequence that it believes is unique. To the Company’s knowledge, there are no other pure aqueous based E-Waste processors operating at a commercial scale.

 

At this time and except as set out below, the Company has not filed any applications in connection with its intellectual property (including in respect to its proprietary two-step process further described under the section entitled “Our Business, Our Products and Services”) and there is no present intention to do so. The Company currently protects its process by trade secret.

 

The Company’s wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary has one registered trademark for GOLD CONCIERGE in the USA.

 

REGULATION OF OUR INDUSTRY

 

Regulatory Framework in the United States

 

The Company’s only facility in operation is its pilot and demonstration plant in Greenville, North Carolina. As such, the Company is subject to regulation in the State of North Carolina and federally in the United States in respect to its operations including, but not limited to, complying with local and State ambient air quality standards in respect to emissions from any stack, vent, or outlet, of sulfur oxides, suspended particulates, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, etc. Additionally, the company must comply with the NAAQS. Of the six principal pollutants that NAAQS sets levels for, the Company’s process only produces particulate matter.

 

The Company is also mandated to meet water quality standards as required by the Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) under applicable legislation including, but not limited to, the Clean Water Act. The Company is required by the local authority to comply with noise regulations, mandating a maximum sound level below 100dB, outside the building while in operation. Internally completed noise level measurements show that the operating plant pilot produced approximately 70dB outside of the building. The Company believes it has been fully compliant with these standards in the past and intends to be fully compliant in its future operations.

 

44

 

 

The Company’s E-Waste recycling processes are environmentally friendly and do not generate any significant gaseous, liquid, or solids emissions only noise, air borne dust, and sewer discharges at this time. Its pre-concentration processes are purely water based with no chemical addition, and its purification methods utilize controlled aqueous based reagent blends in connection with its refined metal production. To that end, the Company has noise control and dust control systems in place and currently uses a closed-loop water recirculation system to manage effluent discharge.

 

The Company requires a business license to operate which is issued by the local state authority. The Company, so far, has had no local or state regulatory matters to address in connection with its operations and the Company intends to continue to operate its main processing facility in North Carolina in accordance with all applicable local and state laws. In addition, when and if the Company’s operations expand beyond North Carolina, the Company will continue to ensure it operates it facilities in accordance with all applicable laws.

 

In addition, the government may in future impose additional environmental laws or specific regulations applicable to the Company’s business. The Company cannot predict the impact of any new environmental laws or regulations or of changes in current environmental laws or regulations on its operations. However, any such unanticipated changes may materially affect the Company’s business and operations. See “Risk Related to Our Regulatory Framework.”

 

Conflict Minerals Rule

 

The Company will be subject to the Conflict Minerals Rule, adopted under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which requires that publicly traded companies that manufacture or contract to manufacture products containing tantalum, tin, tungsten or gold (“3TG”) that is necessary to the functionality or production of such products take certain steps to determine the origin of such necessary 3TG, and to report their findings annually to the SEC.

 

In compliance with the Conflict Minerals Rule, the Company has adopted a Conflict Minerals Policy that outlines a process to conduct a reasonable country of origin inquiry based on a review of its business operations to determine whether any of the 3TG contained in its products came from recycled or scrap sources or if it did not, whether the 3TG originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) region and adjoining countries.

This Management Discussion and Analysis supplements, but does not form part of, the Consolidated Financial Statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 and the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. Consequently, the following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations for the Company should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related notes therein, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, consistently applied.

 

Corporate Overview

 

The Company was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “BCBCA”) on January 26, 2021.

 

On August 19, 2021, the Company and UMI entered into the Merger Agreement, providing for the acquisition of all the issued and outstanding common shares of UMI. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, UMI and Urban Mining Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, amalgamated/merged and continued under the name of UMI. As a result of the Merger, UMI became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company on September 1, 2021. Subsequently, UMI changed its name to Modern Mining Technology Corp. as of December 8, 2021. UMI was incorporated in the State of Delaware on August 8, 2017 for the purpose of refining precious metals from E-Waste.

 

Modern Mining is a “landfill-to-commodity” business aiding the transition away from traditional mining to a cleaner, safer and profitable process to mine valuable metals from a vast, growing and largely ignored global resource, electronic waste or E-Waste (or sometimes also referred in the waste industry as “EEE” for Electrical and Electronic Equipment or “WEEE” for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment). E-Waste includes all items of electrical and electronic equipment that have been discarded as waste (including a wide range of products; almost any household or business item with circuitry or electrical components). Once concentrated, the resulting material serves as feedstock for the Company’s purification process.

 

Our U.S. wholly-owned operating subsidiary (formerly, “Urban Mining International Inc.”, and subsequent to the completion of the Merger, “Modern Mining Technology Corp.”) was originally incorporated in August, 2017. Since 2017, management has been focused on research and development activities relating to the feasibility of its business of the treatment of electronic waste and the processes associated therewith. To that end, the Company purchased and installed certain equipment that allowed for the testing of the Company’s E-Waste recovery processes. Such research and development activities resulted in the sale of recovered gold in 2020 in the amount of $23,586.

 

The Company formerly operated out of a 14,400 square foot facility located at 5905 Triangle Dr., Raleigh, North Carolina, 27617 pursuant to a lease dated July 29, 2020 (the “Former Facility Lease”). On October 22, 2021, the Company, with the consent of the landlord thereunder, surrendered the Former Facility Lease due to the fact that the Company determined it needed a larger facility to accommodate its anticipated growth and scale-up plans. On September 22, 2022, the Company entered into a lease agreement with Grand Ventures, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company, for the lease of the Company’s North Carolina facility for E-Waste feedstock processing. The lease term is for three years, with a right to extend it for three additional one year terms. Annual rent during the first three lease years is $120,000, payable in monthly installments of $10,000. This is subject to adjustment upon extension of the lease term.

Significant events and transactions during the Year ended December 31, 2024

 

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company received a total of CAD $886,000 ($615,748) ( December 31, 2023 – CAD $344,000 ($260,094)) in short-term loans. The interests accrued on the CAD denominated loans are $46,221 (2023 - $4,898) and has been included in the interest and accretion expense in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. These short-term loans are payable on demand and have an interest rate of 8% per annum, compounded annually.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2024, MMTC arranged for an offering of unsecured convertible debentures (“2024 Debentures”) in an aggregate principal amount of $92,300. The 2024 Debentures bear interest at five percent (5%) per annum and are unsecured obligations of the Company. The 2024 Debentures are due thirty-six months following their issuance (i.e. July 28, 2027).

 

On July 6, 2024, the Board of the Company approved further modification, in the event that the Company either (a) completes a financing or series of financings or enters into a royalty streaming agreement to raise aggregate gross proceeds of not less than US$5,000,000 at any time between May 1, 2024 and IPO, or (b) completes an IPO where the market value of the Company is not less than US$100,000,000, then in lieu of each common share the subscriber would have otherwise received, the subscriber shall receive a unit (a “Unit”) consisting of one common share and one additional warrant (an “Underlying Warrant”) to purchase one additional common share (an “Underlying Share”) at a price of $0.085 per share for a period of 36 months from the date of the IPO.

 

On the date of modification, and as at December 31, 2024, the Company assessed that the modification of the Investor Rights Warrants does not have an impact on the classification of such Investor Rights Warrants. As at December 31, 2024, the Company estimated the share price that is used in the valuation of the warrant liability to have a nominal value given that the Company has postponed its public listing, is operating with negative net working capital, has significant negative shareholders’ equity and has not secured recent equity financing. As a result, as at December 31, 2024, the fair value of the warrant liability has been determined to be $nil (December 31, 2023 - $340,234). The Company recognized a total of $328,512 fair value gain on the valuation of warrant liability for the year ended December 31, 2024 (December 31, 2023 – loss of $186,508) and the gain (loss) has been included in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

 

Operating Segments

 

The Company operates in one operating segment, namely the refinement of precious metals from E-Waste.

 

For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had no revenues due to the Company focusing on revamping its business operations, facility, and financing opportunities.

 

The Company has and expects to continue to report negative earnings until the Company’s E-Waste processing program ramps up to full-scale production. The Company will continue to utilize proceeds from financing and equity issuances to fund its business operations and general and administrative operating costs.

 

Plan of Operations

 

The continuation of our current plan of operations requires us to raise significant additional capital. If we are successful in raising capital through the sale of Shares pursuant to this Offering, we believe that the Company will have sufficient cash resources to fund its plan of operations for the next 12  months. If we are unable to do so, we may have to curtail and possibly cease some operations. The Company intends to receive proceeds from the Offering to carry out the following near term and longer-term goals. The approximate timing and costs associated with these target milestones are also summarized below. These target dates and cost estimates may change subject to multiple factors including, but not limited to, the following: (i) the timing of the Offering and quantity of capital raised; (ii) key equipment availability, cost, and delivery timing; (iii) supply chain fluctuations; (iv) availability and access to labor markets (skilled and unskilled); (v) permitting processes; and (vi) availability and costs of E-Waste feedstock supply. See also “Risk Factors.”

We will continually evaluate our plan of operations to determine the manner in which we can most effectively utilize our limited cash resources. The timing of completion of any aspect of our plan of operations is highly dependent upon the availability of cash to implement that aspect of the plan and other factors beyond our control. There is no assurance that we will successfully obtain the required capital or revenues, or, if obtained, that the amounts will be sufficient to fund our ongoing operations.

The Company has and expects to continue to report negative earnings until the Company’s E-Waste processing program ramps up to full-scale production. The Company will continue to utilize proceeds from financing and equity issuances to fund its business operations and general and administrative operating costs.

Results of Operations

 

The net loss reported during the nine months ended 30 September 2025 was $37,286,840 compared to loss of $1,437,523 in the prior period. The main fluctuations in costs are as follows:

Trend Information

 

Because we are still in the start-up phase of our operations, we are unable to identify any recent trends in revenue or expenses. Thus, we are unable to identify any known trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments or events involving our business that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our revenues, income from operations, profitability, liquidity or capital resources, or that would cause the reported financial information in this Offering Circular to not be indicative of future operating results or financial condition.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company is in the preliminary stages of its planned operations and has not yet determined whether its processes and business plans are economically viable. The continued operations of the Company are dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain sufficient funding to carry out its business plans, the existence of future profitable production, or alternatively, upon the Company’s ability to dispose of its assets on an advantageous basis, all of which are uncertain.

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company will need to raise additional capital in the near term to fund its ongoing operations and business activities. There can be no assurance that this Offering will conclude or that other financings will be available on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. As a result of these circumstances, there are material uncertainties that cast significant doubt as to the appropriateness of the going concern presumption.

 

The business of environmental recycling and processing involves a high degree of risk, and there can be no assurance that current business development programs will result in profitable operations. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon the acquisition of assets, preservation of its interest in the underlying assets, acquisition of various licenses, the achievement of profitable operations, or the ability of the Company to raise alternative financing, if necessary, or alternatively upon the Company’s ability to dispose of its assets and operations on an advantageous basis.

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and classifications in the statement of financial position that may be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern, and these adjustments could be material.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Direct Capital Expenditures

 

Our contractual obligations for ongoing capital expenditures are described below. With the proceeds from the 2022 Debenture Offering, we have entered into a facility lease in Greenville, North Carolina and acquired various pieces of production equipment.

 

The Company estimates that to equip the facility with the required processing equipment (including laboratory equipment) to run its main US processing operations, will require an initial investment of approximately $6.5-$7.4 million in direct capital. Such equipment includes, but is not limited to, gas scrubbers, conveyor belt systems, sensor based sorters, air compressors, various shredders and sizers, drying units, dissolution and precipitate vessels, various chemical process tanks, induction melting systems, vacuum filtration units, security systems, etc. The Company understands that such capital costs and timelines could change, and as such, it continues to review and update major equipment quotes ahead of any advance procurement strategies.

 

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to pursue the Company’s objectives. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the business.

 

55

 

 

In the management of capital, the Company includes its cash balances and components of shareholders’ equity. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue additional shares, issue debt, acquire or adjust the amount of cash and cash equivalents and investments.

 

At this stage of the Company’s development, in order to maximize ongoing development efforts, the Company does not pay out dividends. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.

 

Financial Instruments and Risk Management

 

a)Financial instrument classification and measurement

 

Financial instruments of the Company carried on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position are carried at amortized cost, with the exception of warrant liability, classified and held at fair value through profit or loss. There are no significant differences between the carrying value of financial instruments and their estimated fair values as at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, due to the immediate or short-term maturities of the financial instruments and their subjectivity to interest rates that are similar to the market interest rates of a similar item with similar security.

 

The Company classifies the fair value of these transactions according to the following hierarchy:

 

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical financial instruments.

 

Level 2 - quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

 

Level 3 - valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

 

The Company’s warrant liability is classified at level 3 with a fair value of $35,806,604 as of 30 September 2025 and $nil as of 31 December 2024.

 

a)Market risk

 

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices will affect the Company’s earnings or the value of its financial instruments. Market risk is comprised of other price risk, currency risk, and interest rate risk. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control exposures within acceptable limits, while maximizing returns. These market risks are evaluated by monitoring changes in key economic indicators and market information on an on-going basis, adjusting operations and budgets accordingly. The Company is not subject to market risk.

 

b)Credit risk

 

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company’s primary exposure to credit risk is on its cash and restricted cash. The Company’s cash and restricted cash are held with major banks in Canada and the United States. Accordingly, the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk.

 

c)Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or manage its obligations associated with financial liabilities. In the management of liquidity risk, the Company maintains a balance between continuity of funding and the flexibility through the use of borrowings. Management closely monitors the liquidity position and expects to have adequate sources of funding to finance the Company’s projects and operations. The Company is dependent on external financing and will be required to raise additional capital in the future to fund its operations (Note 1).

 

As at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had a cash and cash equivalents balance of $305,804 (December 31, 2024 - $101,829) to settle current liabilities of $41,928,068 (December 31, 2024 - $8,038,773). So far, the Company is not profitable and has had to rely on the issuance of equity securities for cash, primarily through private placements and from related and other parties. The Company’s access to financing is uncertain. There can be no assurance of continued access to significant equity or debt financing.

d)Interest rate risk

 

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk on the variable rate of interest earned on its cash and restricted cash. The cash flow interest rate risk on cash is insignificant since deposits are short term in nature. The Company does not hold any other financial assets or liabilities with variable interest rates that will have significant impact arising from interest rate risk. The fair value interest rate risk on the Company’s other assets and liabilities are deemed to be insignificant.

 

The Company has not entered into any derivative instruments to manage interest rate fluctuations, thus, the Company is not subject to interest rate risk.

 

e)Foreign currency risk

 

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates.

 

The Company’s certain operating expenses and acquisition costs are denominated in US$ and incurred by MMTC Delaware, and a large portion of the expenses of the Company are in Canadian dollars. The Company’s corporate office is based in Canada, and the exposure to exchange rate fluctuations arises mainly on foreign currencies, which are the US$.

 

The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk. The Company has not entered into any derivative instruments to manage foreign exchange fluctuations; however, management monitors foreign exchange exposure, and if rates continue to fall, management will look at entering into derivative contracts. Should the US dollar and Canadian dollar exchange rate have changed by 5% at the period end, the impact to profit or loss would be +/- $74,059.

 

The Company’s monetary assets and liabilities denominated in Canadian dollars are shown here in US$:

 

Rounded (‘000)   30 Sept.
2025
    31 Dec.
2024
 
Cash and cash equivalents   $ 53,000     $ 48,000  
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities   $ 1,079,000     $ 913,000  

 

Capital Management

 

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to pursue the Company’s objectives. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the business.

 

In the management of capital, the Company includes its components of equity (deficit). The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, issue debt, acquire or adjust the amount of cash and cash equivalents and investments.

 

At this stage of the Company’s development, in order to maximize ongoing development efforts, the Company does not pay out dividends. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. The Company’s capital is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

The preparation of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

The accounting estimates and assumptions discussed in this section are those that the Company considers to be the most critical in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. An accounting estimate or assumption is considered critical if both

 

a) the nature of the estimate or assumption is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment involved, and

 

b)the impact within a reasonable range of outcomes of the estimate and assumption is material to the financial condition.

 

The Company measurement of the warrant liability is considered to be a critical accounting estimate, given the Company is not publicly traded. Certain of the Company’s warrants are remeasured at fair value at the end of every reporting period given they are settled on a cashless basis. Key assumptions include the share price, probability of an initial public offering and timing of an initial public offering.

Board Practices

 

Board Leadership Structure and Risk Oversight

 

The Board of Directors oversees our business and considers the risks associated with our business strategy and decisions. The Board of Directors currently implements its risk oversight function as a whole.

 

Terms of Office

 

Each of our officers holds office until his or her successor is elected and qualified. Directors are appointed to serve for one year until the meeting of the Board of Directors following the annual meeting of shareholders and until their successors have been elected and qualified.

 

Director Independence

 

As a result of our expectation that our securities will be listed on NYSE American, we have elected to adhere to the rules of such exchange in determining whether a director is independent. The NYSE American Company Guide generally defines an “independent director” as a person other than an executive officer or employee of a Company, and that no director qualifies as independent unless the Company’s board of directors affirmatively determine that the directors does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Under Canadian National Instrument 58-101 – Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices, a director is considered to be independent if he or she is independent within the meaning of Section 1.4 of Canadian National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees, or “NI 52-110.”

 

Under such definition, Sean Bromley, Matt Chatterton and Michael Hepworth are independent directors on the Company’s Board. However, our Shares are not currently quoted or listed on any national exchange or interdealer quotation system with a requirement that a majority of our Board be independent and, therefore, the Company is not subject to any director independence requirements as of the date hereof.

 

Board Committees

 

Audit Committee

 

Our Audit Committee is comprised of Sean Bromley (Chairperson), Michael Hepworth and Matthew Chatterton. The Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention, oversight and termination of the work of the independent auditor (including resolution of any disagreements between Company management and the independent auditor regarding financial reporting) and any other registered public accounting firm engaged for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or related work or performing other audit, review or attest services for the Company, and the independent auditor and each such other registered public accounting firm must report directly to the Committee. The Committee, or the Chair of the Committee, must pre-approve any audit and non-audit service provided to the Company by the independent auditor or any other registered public accounting firm, unless the engagement is entered into pursuant to appropriate preapproval policies established by the Committee or if such service falls within available exceptions under SEC rules.

 

61

This includes oversight responsibility for ensuring the proper reporting and continuous disclosure in respect of same, and compliance with laws and regulations as well as stock exchange rules and policies in respect of same. The Compensation Committee shall also be responsible for the other matters as set out in this Charter and/or such other matters as may be directed by the Board of Directors from time to time. The Compensation Committee should exercise continuous oversight of developments in these areas.

Code of Ethics

 

Our Board adopted a written Code of Business Conduct and Ethics on May 19, 2022, which is a “code of ethics” as defined in section 406(c) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and which is a “code” under Canadian National Instrument 58-101 - Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices, that applies to our directors, officers, and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, and other of our agents. The Code of Ethics will be made publicly available on the Company’s website at www.modernmining.com.

 

Incentive Compensation Recovery Policy

 

Our Board adopted an incentive compensation recovery policy on September 15, 2025, pursuant to Section 10D-1 of the Exchange Act and Dodd Frank Act that applies to current and former officers of the Company. The policy will be made publicly available on the Company’s website at www.modernmining.com.

 

62

 

 

Insider Trading Policy

 

Our Board adopted a written Insider Trading Policy on May 19, 2022, which is designed to ensure full compliance with the prohibitions against insider trading contained in Section 10(b) of, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and with comparable provisions of applicable Canadian securities legislation. The policy establishes comprehensive safeguards to prevent any director, officer, employee, household member, or entity controlled by such persons from trading the Company’s securities while in possession of material non-public information. The Insider Trading Policy will be made publicly available on the Company’s website at www.modernmining.com.

 

Corporate Governance Practices

 

We are a “foreign private issuer” under the federal securities laws of the United States and the NYSE American Company Guide. Under the federal securities laws of the United States, foreign private issuers are subject to different disclosure requirements than U.S.-domiciled registrants. We intend to take all actions necessary for us to maintain compliance as a foreign private issuer under the applicable corporate governance requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the rules adopted by the SEC and the NYSE American Company Guide.

 

Under the SEC rules and NYSE American Company Guide Section 110, a foreign private issuer is subject to less stringent corporate governance requirements. Subject to certain exceptions, the SEC and NYSE American permit a foreign private issuer to follow its home country practice in lieu of their respective rules and listing standards. Following our home country governance practices, as opposed to the requirements that would otherwise apply to a company listed on NYSE American, may provide less protection than is accorded to investors under the NYSE American Company Guide applicable to U.S. domestic issuers.

 

The Canadian securities regulatory authorities have issued corporate governance guidelines pursuant to National Policy 58-201 — Corporate Governance Guidelines (the “Corporate Governance Guidelines”), together with certain related disclosure requirements pursuant to Canadian National Instrument 58-101 — Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices. The Corporate Governance Guidelines are recommended as “best practices” for issuers to follow. We recognize that good corporate governance plays an important role in our overall success and in enhancing shareholder value and, accordingly, we have adopted, or in connection with the closing of this Offering will adopt, certain corporate governance policies and practices which reflect our consideration of the recommended Corporate Governance Guidelines.

Equity Incentive Plan

 

Introduction

 

The principal features of our equity incentive plan (the “2022 Plan”) are summarized below. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual text of the 2022 Plan, which is filed as an exhibit to the Offering Circular.

 

The 2022 Plan was approved by the Company’s shareholders on July 6, 2022.

 

The principal purpose of the 2022 Plan is to assist us in securing and retaining the services of eligible employees, officers, directors and consultants and motivate such Participants so that they may increase their equity participation in the Company and benefit from increases in the value of the Shares.

 

Eligibility

 

Our 2022 Plan provides for the grant of incentive share options (“ISOs”) to employees, including employees of any parent or subsidiary, and for the grant of non-incentive share options (“NIOs”), share appreciation rights, restricted share unit awards and other forms of share awards to employees, directors, and consultants, including employees and consultants of our affiliates. There are additional restrictions on the awards of ISOs to shareholders who own greater than 10% of our Shares.

 

Share Reserve

 

The maximum number of Shares available for grant under the 2022 Plan and our other security-based compensation arrangements will be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors, but in any event, will not exceed 15% of the total Shares issued and outstanding from time to time. As at the date hereof, we have no securities convertible into Shares outstanding under the 2022 Plan.

 

The calculation of the share reserve does not limit the granting of awards that do not involve the issuance of Shares to the Participant, such as share appreciation rights. The following counting provisions will be in effect in the calculation of the share reserve under the 2022 Plan:

 

to the extent that an award (or a portion thereof) is exercised, terminates, expires or lapses for any reason or an award is settled in cash without the delivery of Shares, any Shares subject to the award at such time will be available for future grants under the 2022 Plan;

 

to the extent that Shares awarded by us are forfeited back to or repurchased by us prior to vesting, such Shares will be available for future grants under the 2022 Plan;

 

to the extent that Shares are reacquired or withheld by us to satisfy the grant, exercise price or tax withholding obligation with respect to any award under the 2022 Plan, such Shares will be available for future grants under the 2022 Plan; and

 

to the extent that Shares are issued through the assumption or substitution of equity-based awards by an acquired company, the number of Shares issuable under the 2022 Plan shall not be reduced.

 

66

 

 

Plan Administration

 

The 2022 Plan provides that the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors may administer the 2022 Plan. The Board of Directors may delegate its authority to one or more officers to (i) designate employees other than officers of the Company to receive specified share awards; and (ii) determine the number of Shares to be subject to those awards.

 

Subject to the terms and conditions of the 2022 Plan, the administrator has the authority to select the persons to whom awards are to be made, to determine the number of Shares to be subject to awards, and the terms and conditions of awards, and to make all other determinations and to take all other actions necessary or advisable for the administration of the 2022 Plan. The administrator generally has the authority to effect, with the consent of any adversely affected Participant: (i) the reduction of the exercise, purchase, or strike price of any outstanding award; (ii) the cancellation of any outstanding award and the grant in substitution therefore of other awards, cash, or other consideration, as determined by the Board of Directors in its full discretion; or (iii) any other action that is treated as a repricing under generally accepted accounting principles.

 

The administrator may terminate, amend, or modify the 2022 Plan, provided that such action does not materially impair the existing rights of any Participant without such Participant’s written consent. However, we must generally obtain shareholder approval to the extent required by applicable law, rule, or regulation (including any applicable stock exchange rule).

 

Awards

 

Share Options

 

ISOs and NIOs are granted under share option agreements adopted by the plan administrator. Each grant of share options will specifically designate the options are either ISOs or NIOs at the date of grant. The plan administrator determines the term and the exercise price for share options, within the terms and conditions of the 2022 Plan, provided that (i) the term of a share option may not exceed ten (10) years from the date of grant; and (ii) the exercise price of a share option generally cannot be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Shares on the date of grant. Share options granted under the 2022 Plan will vest at the discretion of the administrator at the rate specified in the share option agreement and may vest in one or more installments after the grant date and need not be in equal amounts. Unless otherwise set out in the award agreement or consented to by the Board of Directors, share options are not assignable or transferable.

 

An ISO may be purchased by the option holder by cash, certified cheque, bank draft, money order or in any other form of consideration set forth in the option agreement. In addition to the above, an NIO may be purchased by the option holder by a “net exercise” arrangement pursuant to which we will reduce the number of Shares issuable upon exercise by the largest whole number of shares with a market value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price.

 

The aggregate fair market value, determined at the time of grant, of the Shares with respect to ISOs that are exercisable for the first time by an option holder during any calendar year under all of our equity compensation plans may not exceed $100,000. Share options or portions thereof that exceed such limit will generally be treated as NIOs.

 

No ISO may be granted to any person who, at the time of the grant, owns or is deemed to own Shares possessing more than 10% of our total combined voting power or that of any of our affiliates unless (i) the option exercise price is at least 110% of the fair market value of the shares subject to the option on the date of grant; and (ii) the option is not exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date of grant.

 

Restricted Share Units

 

Restricted share units are granted under restricted share unit award agreements adopted by the plan administrator. At the time of the grant of each restricted share unit, the Board of Directors will determine the consideration, if any, to be paid by the Participant upon delivery of the Shares. The consideration, if any, can be in any form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Board of Directors and permissible under applicable law. The plan administrator will determine any vesting restrictions on the restricted share units, at its sole discretion.

 

67

 

 

A restricted share unit may be settled by cash, delivery of Shares, a combination of cash and Shares, as deemed appropriate by the plan administrator, or in any other form of consideration set forth in the restricted share unit agreement. Additionally, dividend equivalents may be credited in respect of shares covered by a restricted share unit.

 

Share Appreciation Rights

 

Share appreciation rights are granted under share appreciation grant agreements adopted by the plan administrator. The plan administrator determines the purchase price or strike price for a share appreciation right, which generally cannot be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Shares on the date of grant. A share appreciation right granted under the 2022 Plan vests at the rate specified in the share appreciation right agreement as determined by the plan administrator.

 

To exercise a share appreciation right, the Participant must provide written notice of exercise to us as provided for in the share appreciation right agreement. Upon exercise, the share appreciation right payable may be settled by cash, delivery of Shares, a combination of cash and Shares, as deemed appropriate by the plan administrator, or in any other form of consideration set forth in the share appreciation right agreement.

 

Unless otherwise set out in the award agreement or consented to by the Board of Directors, share appreciation rights are not assignable or transferable.

 

Other Share-Based Awards

 

Under the 2022 Plan, the plan administrator may grant other awards based in whole or in part by reference to our Shares. The plan administrator will set the number of Shares under the share award and all other terms and conditions of such awards.

 

Termination of Employee, Death or Disability

 

Share Options and Share Appreciation Rights

 

Except as otherwise provided in the award agreement, a Participant’s share options or share appreciation rights will expire 90 days after a Participant ceases to act as a Participant, other than by reason of death, disability or termination for cause, and subject to amendment at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Under the 2022 Plan, in the event of the death or disability of a participant, the participant (in the case of disability) or the participant’s estate (in the case of death) shall have 12 months in which to exercise the outstanding share options or share appreciation rights, subject to their earlier expiry in accordance with the award agreement.

 

Except as otherwise provided in the award agreement, if a Participant is terminated for cause, the share options or share appreciation rights, as applicable, will terminate immediately and the Participant will not be eligible to exercise the options or share appreciation rights from the date of termination.

 

Restricted Share Units

 

Except as otherwise provided in the applicable restricted share unit agreement, restricted share units that have not vested will be forfeited once the participant’s continuous service ends for any reason.

 

Adjustments

 

The 2022 Plan contains typical adjustment provisions in the event that certain events occur, including a corporate transaction, a change in our capital structure or a change of control of the Company.

 

Change in Capital Structure

 

In the event there is a specified type of change in our capital structure, such as a share split, reverse share split, or recapitalization, appropriate adjustments will be made to (i) the class and maximum number of Shares reserved for issuance under the 2022 Plan, (ii) the class and maximum number of Shares by which the share reserve may increase automatically each year, (iii) the class and maximum number of Shares that may be issued on the exercise of ISOs, and (iv) the class and number of Shares and exercise price, strike price, or purchase price, if applicable, of all outstanding share awards.

 

68

 

 

Corporate Transactions

 

The following applies to share awards under the 2022 Plan in the event of a corporate transaction, unless otherwise provided in a participant’s share award agreement or other written agreement with us or one of our affiliates or unless otherwise expressly provided by the plan administrator at the time of grant.

 

Under the 2022 Plan, a corporate transaction is defined to include: (i) a sale of all or substantially all of our assets; (ii) the sale or disposition of more than 50% of our outstanding securities; (iii) the consummation of a merger or consolidation where we do not survive the transaction; and (iv) the consummation of a merger or consolidation where we do survive the transaction but the shares of our Shares outstanding before such transaction are converted or exchanged into other property by virtue of the transaction.

 

In the event of a corporate transaction, the Board of Directors may take one or more of the following actions with respect to the awards:

 

arrange for any share awards outstanding under the 2022 Plan to be assumed, continued or substituted for by any surviving or acquiring corporation (or its parent company), and/or arrange for any reacquisition or repurchase rights held by us with respect to the share award to assigned to the successor (or its parent company);

 

accelerate the vesting of any awards to a date prior to the effective time of the corporate transaction, with any such award terminating if not exercised prior to the effective time of the corporate transaction;

 

arrange for the lapse, in whole or in part, of any reacquisition or repurchase rights held by us with respect to the awards;

 

cancel or arrange for the cancellation of the awards to the extent not vested or exercised prior to the effective time of the corporate transaction in exchange for cash consideration as determined by the Board of Directors; or

 

that the holder of such share award may not exercise such share award but instead will receive a payment equal in value to the excess (if any) of (i) the value of the property the Participant would have received upon the exercise of the share award over (ii) any exercise price payable by such holder in connection with such exercise.

 

The Board of Directors does not need to take the same actions with respect to all awards or with respect to all Participants. The Board of the Directors may also take different actions with respect to the vested and unvested portions of an award.

 

Change of Control

 

In the event of a change in control (as defined in the 2022 Plan), awards granted under the 2022 Plan will not receive automatic acceleration of vesting and exercisability, although this treatment may be provided for in an award agreement.

 

Termination

 

The Board of Directors may terminate the 2022 Plan at any time. No awards may be granted pursuant to the 2022 Plan after the 10th anniversary of the date the 2022 Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors. Any award that is outstanding on the termination date of the 2022 Plan will remain in force according to the terms of the 2022 Plan and the applicable award agreement, except with the written consent of the Participant or as otherwise allowed under the 2022 Plan.

 

As of the date of this Offering Circular, the Company does not have any outstanding share options with respect to our Shares granted to our executive officers and directors.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

 

The following table and accompanying footnotes set forth certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of the Company’s Shares, the Investor Rights Warrants and the Convertible Debentures, immediately prior to and immediately after the completion of this Offering, by:

 

each of our named executive officers and directors;

 

all of our current executive officers and directors as a group; and

 

each person or entity (or group of affiliated persons or entities) known by us to be the beneficial owner of 5% or more of our Shares, the Investor Rights Warrants and the Convertible Debentures (by number or by voting power).

 

As described in “Description of Share Capital and Articles of Incorporation–Warrants,” the Company granted to holders of Investor Rights Warrants the right to vote, voting together with Shares as a single class, on any matter at any meeting of shareholders of the Company. Each of the Investor Rights Warrants entitles the holder thereof to one vote per Investor Rights Warrant. The Investor Rights Agreement will terminate upon completion of the Offering, at which time the Investor Rights Warrants will automatically convert to Shares as described elsewhere in this Offering Circular, and consequently, the voting rights granted under the Investor Rights Agreement to the holders of the Investor Rights Warrants will also terminate at such time. Pursuant to the Convertible Debentures IRA, the Company also granted holders of the Convertible Debentures a vote on any matter at any meetings of shareholders of the Company, voting together with Shares as a single class. For the purposes of the Convertible Debenture IRA, each $2.40 of Convertible Debentures will equal to one Share, entitling the holder thereof to one vote.

 

To our knowledge, each person or entity named in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to our Shares, the Investor Rights Warrants and the Convertible Debentures “beneficially owned” (as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) by such person or entity, subject to applicable community property laws and except as otherwise set forth in the footnotes to the table. The SEC has defined “beneficial” ownership of a security to mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of voting power and/or investment power. Pursuant to the rules of the SEC, common shares which an individual or group has a right to acquire within 60 days pursuant to the exercise of options or warrants are deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of such individual or group, but are not deemed to be beneficially owned and outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any person shown in the table.

 

The percentages ownership for the Shares, Convertible Debentures and Investor Rights Warrants immediately prior to this Offering, are based on 5,082,200 Shares, 9,705,696 Investor Rights Warrants outstanding and $3,421,374 principal amount of Convertible Debentures outstanding, respectively, and as of the date immediately prior to the completion of this Offering. Such ownership percentages do not represent the voting percentages of each individual holder. Holders of the Shares, Convertible Debentures and Investor Rights Warrants all vote together as a single class. The Investor Rights Warrants and the Convertible Debentures will automatically convert to Shares upon completion of the Offering as described elsewhere in this Offering Circular.

On 26 May 2023, the Company modified the terms of the Investor Rights Warrants, allowing them to automatically convert into common shares upon the closing of an IPO on a cashless basis and based on the IPO share price. This resulted in the shares issuable under the warrants to be variable, thus the instrument does not meet the “fixed-for-fixed” criteria. As a result, the Company reclassified the warrants from equity instrument into financial liabilities during the year ended 31 December 2023.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2024

The 2024 Debenture Indenture executed in relation to the 2024 Debentures also provides that in the event the Company completes a U.S. listing (such as the Offering), the principal amount plus any accrued unpaid interest will automatically convert into Shares at a conversion price equal to the lessor of (A) a 40% discount to the Offering Price, and (B) $5.00. In connection with the 2024 2024 Debenture Offering, the Company paid $2,100 in commissions to an investment dealer/broker.

If an IRA Warrant Trigger is satisfied, the IRA Unit Warrants will automatically convert on a cashless basis and assuming an Offering Price of $4.25 and a $0.085 (C$0.10625) exercise price, holders of the IRA Unit Warrants will receive 0.98 Shares per IRA Unit Warrant held, subject to the IRA Blocker (as defined herein).

The Company entered into an investment agreement pursuant to which the Company issued 47,058 common shares to the investor in exchange for $200,000 in cash. In addition to the cash consideration, the Company is also required to undertake a third-party study on the technical feasibility of the Company’s technology, the scope, and the estimated budget and timeline of the Company’s recycling facility project. In addition to the delivery of the report, the Company also agreed to grant potential future royalty rights to the investor. In the case where the Company decided to not pursue the future royalty arrangement but the investor wishes to proceed, the Company is required to pay a break up fee in the amount of $100,000. In the case where the investor does not wish to proceed with the future royalty arrangement but the Company wishes to proceed, the investor is required to render the 47,058 common shares issued to the Company.

 

On September 2, 2025, the Company effected a 2.3529-for-1 forward split of all the issued and outstanding common shares and accordingly, 2,159,974 common shares were forward split into 5,082,200 common shares.

77

 

 

Shareholder Meetings

 

Pursuant to the BCBCA, we must hold an annual meeting of our shareholders at least once every calendar year at a time and place determined by the Board of Directors, provided that the meeting must not be held later than 15 months after the preceding annual meeting. A meeting of our shareholders may be held at any place within British Columbia or, if determined by our directors, any location outside British Columbia.

 

Subject to any special rights or restrictions attached to any shares, voting at a meeting of shareholders may be conducted by way of poll or by show of hands or, in certain other circumstances as required by the BCBCA, in any other manner that adequately discloses the intentions of the shareholders present. Accordingly, the articles provide that: (a) on a poll, every shareholder entitled to vote has one vote in respect of each share held by that shareholder that carries the right to vote on that poll and may exercise that vote either in person or by proxy; and (b) on a vote by show of hands, every person present who is a shareholder or proxy holder and entitled to vote at the meeting has one vote.

 

A poll may be demanded by the chairman of the meeting or by any shareholder present in person or by proxy. However, if such a poll is demanded, the poll must be taken at the meeting or within seven days after the date of the meeting, as the chair of the meeting so directs, and in the manner, at the time and at the place that the chair of the meeting directs.

 

A special resolution is a resolution passed by not less than two-thirds of the votes cast by the shareholders entitled to vote on the resolution at a meeting at which a quorum is present. An ordinary resolution is a resolution passed by not less than a simple majority of the votes cast by the shareholders entitled to vote on the resolution at a meeting at which a quorum is present.

 

Notice of Meeting of Shareholders

 

Our articles provide that we must send notice of the date, time and location of any meeting of shareholders (including, without limitation, any notice specifying the intention to propose a resolution as an exceptional resolution, a special resolution or a special separate resolution, and any notice to consider approving an amalgamation into a foreign jurisdiction, an arrangement or the adoption of an amalgamation agreement, and any notice of a general meeting, class meeting or series meeting), in the manner provided in the articles, or in such other manner, if any, as may be prescribed by ordinary resolution (whether previous notice of the resolution has been given or not), to each shareholder entitled to attend the meeting, to each director and to the auditor of the Company, unless the articles otherwise provide, at least 21 days before the meeting.

 

Quorum

 

Our articles provide that, subject to the special rights and restrictions attached to the shares of any affected class or series of shares, the quorum for the transaction of business at a meeting of shareholders is one or more persons, present in person or by proxy and together holding or representing by proxy shares carrying at five percent of the votes entitled to be voted at the meeting.

 

Record Date for Notice of Meeting of Shareholders

 

Our board may fix, in advance, a date as the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive notice of a meeting of shareholders, but such record date shall not precede by more than two months or by less than 21 days the date on which the meeting is to be held. If no record date is fixed, the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive notice of a meeting of shareholders shall be 5:00 p.m. on the day immediately preceding the day on which the notice is given or, if no notice is given, the beginning of the meeting.

 

Ability to Requisition Special Meetings of the Shareholders

 

The BCBCA provides that the holders of not less than five percent of the issued shares of a corporation that carry the right to vote at a meeting sought to be held may give notice to the directors requiring them to call a meeting for the purposes stated in the requisition.

Authorization of Certain Corporate Action

 

Under the BCBCA, certain substantive changes to the charter documents of the corporation, such as an alteration of the restrictions, if any, on the business carried on by the corporation, a change in the name of the corporation, an increase, reduction or elimination of the maximum number of shares that the corporation is authorized to issue out of any class or series of shares, or an alteration of the special rights and restrictions attached to issued shares, require a resolution of the type specified in the articles. Accordingly, if the articles fail to specify the type of resolution or, if the articles do not contain such a provision, a special resolution passed by at least two-thirds of the votes cast by shareholders on the resolution. Other fundamental changes such as a proposed amalgamation or arrangement require a similar special resolution passed by the holders of shares of each class entitled to vote at a general meeting and the holders of all classes of shares adversely affected by such changes.

 

Under the Company’s articles, the directors have the authority to exercise all such powers of the Company as are not, by the BCBCA or by its articles, required to be exercised by the shareholders of the Company. Such powers include the power to alter the restrictions, if any, on the business carried on by the Company, to change the name of the Company, to subdivide or consolidate all or any of the Company’s unissued, or fully paid issued, shares, and to alter the identifying name of any of its shares.

 

Dissent Rights

 

The BCBCA provides that our shareholders are entitled to exercise dissent rights and demand payment of the fair value of their shares in certain circumstances and provided that the procedures set out in the BCBCA are followed. For this purpose, there is no distinction between listed and unlisted shares. Dissent rights of holders of any class of our shares exist when we resolve to:

 

(a)alter the articles to alter restrictions on our powers or on the business we are permitted to carry on;

 

(b)adopt an amalgamation agreement;

 

(c)approve an amalgamation into a foreign jurisdiction;

 

(d)approve an arrangement, the terms of which arrangement permit dissent;

 

(e)authorize or ratify the sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all our’ undertaking;

 

(f)authorize our continuation into a jurisdiction other than British Columbia; or

 

(g)pass any other resolution, if dissent is authorized by the resolution. In addition, a court order in connection with an arrangement proposed by us may permit shareholders to dissent if the arrangement is adopted.

 

Action by Written Consent

 

Under the BCBCA, shareholders can take action by written resolution and without a meeting only if all shareholders sign the written resolution.

 

Directors

 

Number of Directors and Election

 

Under the BCBCA, our charter documents consist of (i) the notice of articles, which sets forth the name of the corporation, the corporation’s registered and records office, the names and addresses of our directors and the amount and type of authorized capital, and (ii) the articles, which govern the management of the corporation, set out any special rights or restrictions attached to our shares and establishes the procedures for changing the number of directors on our board.

 

Accordingly, as we will become a “public company” upon completion of the Offering, as such term is defined in the BCBCA, the articles provide that the Board of Directors must consist of the greater of: (i) three directors; and (ii) such number of directors equal to the number of directors most recently elected by ordinary resolution at a meeting of shareholders. Our Board of Directors currently consists of five directors. Our articles provide that our board may appoint one or more additional directors, who shall hold office for a term expiring not later than the close of the next annual meeting of shareholders, to fill any casual vacancy occurring on the Board of Directors provided the total number of directors so appointed may not exceed one-third the number of directors elected at the previous annual meeting of shareholders. Shareholders of a corporation governed by the BCBCA elect directors by ordinary resolution at each annual meeting of shareholders at which such an election is required.

Under the BCBCA a director must not be:

 

(a)under eighteen years of age;

 

(b)found by a court, in Canada or elsewhere, to be incapable of managing their own affairs;

 

(c)an undischarged bankrupt; or

 

(d)convicted in or out of the Province of British Columbia of an offence in connection with the promotion, formation or management of a corporation or unincorporated business, or of an offence involving fraud, unless:

(iii)a pardon was granted or issued, or a record suspension was ordered, under the Criminal Records Act (Canada) and the pardon or record suspension, as the case may be, has not been revoked or ceased to have effect.

 

Removal of Directors

 

Under the BCBCA, a corporation’s shareholders may, by special resolution, remove any director before the expiration of their term of office, and may, by ordinary resolution, elect or appoint a director to fill the resulting vacancy. If the shareholders do not contemporaneously elect or appoint a director to fill the vacancy created by the removal of a director, then the directors may appoint, or the shareholders may elect or appoint by ordinary resolution, a director to fill that vacancy for the remainder of such term. Under the BCBCA, a director’s term expires at the next annual meeting of shareholders. A director may be nominated for re-election to the Board of Directors at the end of the director’s term.

 

Vacancies on the Board of Directors

 

Under the BCBCA, vacancies that exist on the Board of Directors, except a vacancy resulting from an increase in the number or the minimum or maximum number of directors or a failure to elect the number or minimum number of directors provided for in the articles, may be filled by the Board of Directors if the remaining directors constitute a quorum. In the absence of a quorum, the remaining directors may only act for the purpose of appointing directors up to such number so as to establish a quorum or summon a meeting of shareholders to fill any vacancies on the Board of Directors or for any other purpose permitted by the BCBCA.

 

Limitation of Personal Liability of Directors and Officers

 

Under the BCBCA, in exercising their powers and discharging their duties, directors and officers must act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the corporation and exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances. No provision in the corporation’s articles, resolutions or contracts can relieve a director or officer from the duty to act in accordance with the BCBCA or relieve a director from liability for a breach thereof. However, a director will not be liable for breaching his or her duty to act in accordance with the BCBCA if the director relied in good faith on: (i) financial statements represented to them by an officer or in a written report of the auditor to fairly reflect the financial condition of the corporation; or (ii) a report of a person whose profession lends credibility to a statement made by such person.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

Under Division 5 of Part 5 of the BCBCA, we may indemnify any present or former director or officer or an individual who acts or has acted at our request as a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of another corporation or entity, against all judgments, penalties or fines awarded or imposed in, or amounts paid in settlement of, a proceeding in which any such director, officer or other individual, by reason of him or her being or having been a director of officer of, or holding or having held a position equivalent to that of a director or officer of, our company or an associated corporation (a) is or may be joined as a party, or (b) is or may be liable for or in respect of a judgment, penalty or fine in, or expenses related to, the proceeding. In addition we may, after the final disposition of any such proceeding, pay the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by any such director, officer or other individual in respect of that proceeding, or in certain circumstances we may pay such expenses as they are incurred. However, Division 5 of Part 5 of the BCBCA also provides that we must not provide such indemnification or payment of expenses in certain circumstances including if, in relation to the subject matter of the proceeding, such director, officer or other individual did not act honestly and in good faith with a view to our best interests, or, as the case may be, to the best interests of the associated corporation, and if, in the case of a proceeding other than a civil proceeding, such director, officer or other individual did not have reasonable grounds for believing that his or her conduct was lawful.

 

Under our articles, our Board of Directors must cause us to indemnify our directors and officers and former directors and officers, and their respective heirs and personal or other legal representatives to the greatest extent permitted by Division 5 of Part 5 of the BCBCA.

 

We have entered into indemnity agreements with each of our directors and officers agreeing to indemnify them, to the fullest extent permitted by law, against all liability, loss, harm damage cost or expense, reasonably incurred by the director in respect of any threatened, pending, ongoing or completed claim or civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other action or proceeding made or commenced against him or in which he is or was involved by reason of the fact that he is or was a director of our Company.

 

Sources of Dividends

 

Dividends may be declared at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Under the BCBCA, the directors may not declare, and we may not pay, dividends if there are reasonable grounds for believing that (i) we are, or would after such payment be unable to pay our liabilities as they become due or (ii) the realizable value of our assets would be less than the aggregate of our liabilities and of our stated capital of all classes of shares.

 

Amendments to the Notice of Articles and Articles

 

Subject to the articles and the BCBCA, our directors may by resolution:

 

(a)change the name of the corporation or adopt or change any translation of that name;

 

(b)create one or more classes or series of shares or, if none of the shares of a class or series of shares are allotted or issued, eliminate that class or series of shares;

 

(c)increase, reduce or eliminate the maximum number of shares that we are authorized to issue out of any class or series of shares or establish a maximum number of shares that we are authorized to issue out of any class or series of shares for which no maximum is established;

 

(d)if we are authorized to issue shares of a class of shares with par value: (i) decrease the par value of those shares, (ii) if none of the shares of that class of shares are allotted or issued, increase the par value of those shares, (iii) subdivide all or any of its unissued or fully paid issued shares with par value into shares of smaller par value, or (iv) consolidate all or any of its unissued or fully paid issued shares with par value into shares of larger par value;

 

(e)change all or any of our unissued or fully paid issued shares with par value into shares without par value or all or any of its unissued shares without par value into shares with par value;

 

(f)alter the identifying name of any of our shares; or

 

(g)otherwise alter our shares or authorized share structure when required or permitted to do so by the BCBCA.

Interested Directors Transactions

 

Under the BCBCA, a director or senior officer of a company holds a disclosable interest in a contract or transaction if (a) the contract or transaction is material to the company, (b) the company has entered, or proposes to enter, into the contract or transaction, and (c) either the director or senior officer has a material interest in the contract or transaction, or the director or senior officer is a director or senior officer of, or has a material interest in, a person who has a material interest in the contract or transaction. A director who has a disclosable interest in a contract or transaction is not entitled to vote on any directors’ resolution to approve that contract or transaction. Further, subject to the BCBCA, generally a director or senior officer of the company is liable to account to the company for any profit that accrues to him or her under or as a result of a contract or transaction in which he or she holds a disclosable interest. However in certain circumstances a director or senior officer of the company will not be liable to account for and may retain any such profit including if the contract or transaction is approved by the directors after the nature and extent of the disclosable interest has been disclosed to the directors, or if the contract or transaction is approved by a special resolution of the shareholders after the nature and extent of the disclosable interest has been disclosed to the shareholders entitled to vote on that resolution. The disclosure of the nature and extent of a disclosable interest may be made to the company in writing or be evidenced in a consent resolution, the minutes of a meeting or other record deposited in the company’s records office.

 

Committees

 

Under the BCBCA and our articles, our directors may, by way of resolution, appoint one or more committees consisting of directors from their number or other persons, as desired, and delegate to such committee members certain powers of the directors.

 

Derivative Actions

 

Under the BCBCA, a complainant (as defined below) may, with leave of the court, prosecute or defend a legal proceeding in the name and on behalf of the corporation to enforce a right, duty or obligation owed to the corporation that could be enforced by the corporation itself or to obtain damages for any breach of such a right, duty or obligation. A “complainant” includes, in relation to us, a shareholder or director of the corporation. Accordingly, no such action may be brought and no such intervention in an action may be made unless the court is satisfied that:

 

(a)the complainant has made reasonable efforts to cause our directors to prosecute or defend the legal proceeding;

 

(b)notice of the application for leave has been given to us and to any other person the court may order;

 

(c)the complainant is acting in good faith; and

 

(d)it appears to the court that it is in the best interests of the company for the legal proceeding to be prosecuted or defended.

 

Under the BCBCA, the court in a derivative action may make any order it thinks fit, including orders pertaining to the awarding of costs and the indemnification of certain individuals, including the complainant. Further, no legal proceeding prosecuted or defended in regards to a derivative action brought forward by a complainant may be discontinued, settled or dismissed without the approval of the court under the BCBCA.

Oppression Remedy

 

Under the BCBCA, a shareholder of a corporation or any other person who, in the discretion of the court, is an appropriate person to make an application has the right to apply to the court on the grounds that:

 

(a)the affairs of the corporation are being or have been conducted, or that the powers of the directors are being or have been exercised, in a manner oppressive to one or more of the shareholders, including the applicant; or

 

(b)some act of the corporation has been done or is threatened, or that some resolution of the shareholders or of the shareholders holding shares of a class or series of shares has been passed or is proposed, that is unfairly prejudicial to one or more of the shareholders, including the applicant.

 

On such an application, the court can grant a variety of remedies, ranging from an order restraining the conduct complained of to an order requiring the corporation to repurchase the shareholder’s shares or an order liquidating the corporation.

 

Inspection of Books and Records

 

Under the BCBCA, our shareholders may examine, free of charge during normal business hours:

 

(a)our notice of articles and articles and all amendments thereto;

 

(b)the minutes and resolutions of our shareholders;

 

(c)copies of all notices of directors filed under the BCBCA;

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The Company is offering up to 7,058,823 Shares on a “best efforts” basis at a price of $4.25 per Share. The minimum subscription per investor is $850.00, or 200 Shares. In order to satisfy the Minimum Quantitative Requirements, we must sell at least 3,529,412 Shares in order to conduct a closing in this Offering.

 

The Company intends to market the Shares in this Offering using both online and offline means. Online marketing may take the form of contacting potential investors through electronic media, television broadcast advertising and posting our Offering Circular or “testing the waters” materials on an online investment platform. All advertising will direct investors to the online investment platform. This Offering Circular will be furnished to prospective investors via download from the Company’s website (www.modernmining.com) on a landing page that relates to the offering.

 

This is a continuous offering pursuant to Rule 251(d)(3)(i)(F) of Regulation A. We will commence this Offering within two calendar days of the qualification by the SEC of the offering statement of which this offering circular forms a part and will continue to offer the Shares for an indefinite period of time (which may exceed 30 days from the date of qualification) until the Offering is terminated. This Offering will terminate at the earliest of (i) the date at which the Maximum Offering amount has been sold, (ii) one year from the date upon which the SEC qualifies the offering statement of which this Offering Circular forms a part, and (iii) the date at which this offering is earlier terminated by the Company, in its sole discretion, including after the Company reaches its internal target amount raised of $15,000,000 (such earliest date, the “Termination Date”).

 

We intend to complete one closing for this Offering and will determine the closing date at our discretion based on our review of subscriptions received and consultation with Digital Offering. While we intend to close the Offering as soon as possible following the qualification by the SEC of the offering statement of which this offering circular forms a part, we will not close the Offering until the Shares are approved for listing on NYSE American. As a result, we will not close this Offering until we can establish that the Offering meets the Minimum Quantitative Standards of NYSE American: (i) completion of the Offering at a price per Share of at least $4.00; (ii) at least 400 public shareholders; (iii) public float of at least 1,000,000 Shares; (iv) an aggregate market value of publicly held Shares of $15.0 million; (v) aggregate stockholders’ equity of at least $4 million; and (vi) at least two years of operating history. If we do not meet the Minimum Quantitative Standards by the Termination Date, we will terminate this Offering and all funds tendered by investors with their subscriptions will be promptly returned to such investors in accordance with Rules 10b-9 and 15c2-4 under the Exchange Act. On the closing date, funds tendered by investors with their subscriptions will be made available to us and we will issue such investors their respective Shares.

 

Engagement Agreement with Digital Offering

 

We are currently party to an engagement agreement dated August 27, 2025, with Digital Offering. Digital Offering has agreed to act as our lead managing selling agent for the Offering. Digital Offering has made no commitment to purchase all or any part of the Shares but has agreed to use its best efforts to sell such Shares in the Offering. As such, Digital Offering is an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. Digital Offering is under no obligation to purchase any of the Shares or arrange for the sale of any specific number or dollar amount of Shares. The term of the engagement agreement will continue until the earliest to occur of: (a) the date that either party gives the other at least ten (10) days written notice of the termination of the engagement agreement, which termination may occur with or without cause, (b) July 31, 2026, and (c) the date that the Offering is consummated (such applicable date, the “Termination Date”). The engagement agreement provides that Digital Offering may engage other Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) member broker-dealers that are registered with the Commission to participate as soliciting dealers for this Offering. We refer to these other broker-dealers as soliciting dealers or members of the selling group. Upon engagement of any such soliciting dealer, Digital Offering will be permitted to re-allow all or part of its fees and expense allowance as described below. Such soliciting dealer will also be entitled to receive the benefits of our engagement agreement with Digital Offering, including the indemnification rights arising under the engagement agreement upon their execution of a soliciting dealer agreement with Digital Offering that confirms that such soliciting dealer is so entitled. As of the date hereof, we have been advised that Digital Offering has retained RF Lafferty and AOS Inc. dba MyIPO to participate in this Offering as soliciting dealers. We will not be responsible for paying any placement agency fees, commissions or expense reimbursements to any soliciting dealers retained by Digital Offering. None of the soliciting dealers is purchasing any of the Shares in this Offering or is required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of Shares but will instead arrange for the sale of Shares to investors on a “best efforts” basis, meaning that they need only use their best efforts to sell the Shares. In addition to the engagement agreement, we plan to enter into a definitive selling agency agreement with Digital Offering prior to the commencement of the offering.

 

Offering Expenses

 

We are responsible for all offering fees and expenses, including the following: (i) fees and disbursements of our legal counsel, accountants, and other professionals we engage; (ii) fees and expenses incurred in the production of offering documents, including design, printing, photograph, and written material procurement costs; (iii) all filing fees, including those charged by FINRA; (iv) all of the legal fees related to FINRA clearance; and (v) costs relating to background checks of the Company’s officers and directors (in the specific invoiced amount of $950, which amount has already been paid by us and will not be exceeded) and $25,000 in accountable expenses of Digital Offering, including for travel expenses associated with site visits, tech fees and other related fees. This $25,000 has already been paid to Digital Offering by us and will be reimbursed to us to the extent not actually incurred, in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(4)(a). We have also agreed to reimburse Digital Offering for up to $100,000 in legal expenses, $25,000 of which we have already paid. The $25,000 payment for legal fees already made will be reimbursed to us to the extent not actually incurred, in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(4)(a).

Reimbursable Expenses in the Event of Termination

 

In the event the Offering does not close, or the selling agency agreement is terminated for any reason, we have agreed to reimburse Digital Offering for its legal fees not to exceed $100,000.

 

Other Expenses of the Offering

 

In addition, the Company has engaged Equifund to create and maintain the online subscription processing platform for the Offering. After the Company’s Offering Statement is qualified by the Commission, the Offering will be conducted, in part, using Equifunds online subscription processing platform through the Company’s website at https://invest.equifund.com/offering/modernmining/details, whereby investors will receive, review, execute and deliver subscription agreements electronically as well as make purchase price payments through a third-party processor by ACH debit transfer, wire transfer or credit card to an account we designate.

 

The Company has paid Equifund a $45,000 onboarding fee and will pay Equifund (i) an estimated $500,000 in investor fees of $50 per investor payable by the Company to Equifund (assuming 10,000 investors in this Offering).

 

In addition, the Company intends to pay these fees and will reimburse Equifund for transaction fees and return fees that it incurs for returns and chargebacks in the amounts of credit card processing fees (3.8% per swipe) plus any charge back fees or expenses and 1.25% for each ACH transfer fee and 1.25% for Express wires to all purchasers in lieu of charges to investors.

 

Please be advised that different payment methods take different amounts of time to clear.

 

Wires: 24 hours (one business day) following receipt of funds;

 

ACH: 10 days following receipt of funds; and

 

Credit and Debit Cards: 24 hours (one business day) following receipt of funds.

 

The Company maintains the right to accept or reject subscriptions in whole or in part, for any reason or for no reason, including, but not limited to, in the event that an investor fails to provide all necessary information, even after further requests, in the event an investor fails to provide requested follow up information to complete potential background checks or fails background checks, and in the event the Offering is oversubscribed in excess of the Maximum Offering amount. If a subscription is rejected, funds will not be accepted by wire transfer or ACH, and payments made by debit card or check will be returned to subscribers within 30 days of such rejection without deduction or interest.

 

Selling Agents’ Commission

 

We have agreed that the definitive selling agency agreement will provide for us to pay a cash commission of 7.0% of the gross proceeds received by us in the offering, which shall be allocated by Digital Offering to members of the selling group and soliciting dealers in its sole discretion (we sometimes refer to Digital Offering and such members and dealers collectively as the “Selling Agents”). In addition, Digital Offering has agreed to remit .50% of this cash commission to the Company as a rebate to be applied towards the Company’s platform and marketing fees.

 

The following table shows the total commissions payable to Digital Offering on a per-share basis in connection with this offering, assuming a fully subscribed offering.

 

   Per Share 
Public offering price  $4.25 
Digital Offering commission (7.0%)*  $0.2975 
Proceeds, before expenses, to us, per share  $3.9525 

 

*Assuming a fully subscribed offering, Digital Offering would receive total cash commissions of $2,100,000. Digital Offering has agreed to remit $10,500 of this cash commission to the Company as a rebate to be applied towards the Company’s platform and marketing fees.

 

85

 

 

Selling Agent’s Warrant

 

Upon the closing of the Offering, we have agreed to issue the Agent Warrant to the Selling Agents to purchase a number of Shares equal to 2.5% of the total number of Shares sold in the Offering. The Agent Warrant will be immediately exercisable upon issuance and will be exercisable until the fifth anniversary of the date of commencement of sales in the offering (in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1)). The exercise price for the Agent Warrant will be the amount that is 25% greater than the public offering price, or $5.3125 per share. The Agent Warrant will not be redeemable. The Agent Warrant will provide for cashless exercise in the event there is not a qualified offering statement covering the shares underlying the Agent Warrant, and immediate “piggyback” registration rights, with a duration of seven years from the date of commencement of sales in the offering (in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8)(D)), with respect to the registration of the Shares underlying the warrants. We have qualified the Shares underlying the Agent Warrant in this Offering. Under certain circumstances, we may enter into an agreement with the Selling Agents to provide the Selling Agents with a demand registration right. Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8)(B)-(D), under any such agreement, the Selling Agents shall not be entitled to more than one demand registration right and the duration of this registration right shall not exceed five years from the effective date of the related registration statement.

 

The Agent Warrant and the Shares underlying the Agent Warrant have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a 180-day lock-up pursuant to Rule 5110(e)(1) of FINRA. The Selling Agents or permitted assignees under such rule, may not exercise, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or hypothecate the Agent Warrant or the Shares underlying the Agent Warrant, nor will the Selling Agents or permitted assignees engage in any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the Agent Warrant or the underlying Shares for a period of 180 days from the date of closing of the Offering, except that they may be transferred, in whole or in part, by operation of law or by reason of our reorganization, or to any Selling Agent or selected dealer participating in the Offering and their officers, partners or registered representatives if the Agent Warrant or the underlying Shares so transferred remain subject to the foregoing lock-up restrictions for the remainder of the time period. The Agent Warrant will provide for adjustment in the number and price of such warrants (and the Shares underlying such Agent Warrant) to prevent dilution in the event of a stock dividend, stock split or other reclassification of the Shares.

 

Pooling Agreements

 

The holders of the Investor Rights Warrants and the Convertible Debentures, with Kuljit Basi acting as their representative, have entered into pooling agreements with the Company dated September 11, 2025 (together, the “Pooling Agreements”). The Pooling Agreements impose contractual resale restrictions on “pooled securities,” defined to include all Investor Rights Warrants, all Convertible Debentures, and all securities underlying the Investor Rights Warrants and Convertible Debentures held by the participating securityholders.

Exchange Listing

 

We intend to apply to NYSE American to list our Shares under the symbol “MDRN” on NYSE American. Neither we nor Digital Offering, however, can guarantee that NYSE American will approve our listing application. If the Shares are not approved for listing on NYSE American, we will not complete the Offering contemplated hereby. As a result, we will not close this Offering until we can establish that the offering meets the Minimum Listing Standards. Assuming our NYSE American listing application is approved, our Shares will not commence trading on NYSE American until each of the following conditions is met: we have filed a post-qualification amendment to the Offering Statement, which post-qualification amendment is qualified by the Commission; and we have filed a registration statement on Form 8-A, which Form 8-A has become effective. Pursuant to applicable rules under Regulation A, the Form 8-A will not become effective until the later of the filing of the Form 8-A with the Commission, the qualification of the post-qualification amendment to the Offering Statement, or the receipt by the Commission of certifications from the national securities exchange listed on the Form 8-A. We intend to file the post-qualification amendment and request its qualification immediately prior to the closing of this Offering in order that the Form 8-A may become effective as soon as practicable. Exchange trading of our Shares on NYSE American will not commence until after the Offering has closed. No assurance can be given that our application to list on NYSE American will be approved or that an active trading market for our Shares will develop.

Our Relationship with the Lead Selling Agent

 

The Selling Agent and its affiliates are engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities. The Selling Agent and its affiliates may in the future perform various financial advisory and investment banking services for us, for which they received or will receive customary fees and expenses.

 

In the ordinary course of their various business activities, Digital Offering and its affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers, and such investment and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of the Company. Digital Offering and its affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or instruments, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.

 

Investment Limitations if We Do Not Obtain a Listing on a National Securities Exchange

 

As set forth in Title IV of the JOBS Act, there would be no limit on how many shares an investor may purchase if this Offering results in a listing of our Shares on NYSE American or other national securities exchange. However, our Shares may not be listed on NYSE American upon the initial qualification of this Offering Statement by the Commission. Additionally, we cannot provide any assurance that our application to list on NYSE American will be approved.

 

For individuals who are not accredited investors, if we are not listed on NYSE American, no sale may be made to you in this offering if the aggregate purchase price you pay is more than 10% of the greater of your annual income or net worth (please see below under “How to Calculate Net Worth”). Different rules apply to accredited investors and non-natural persons. Before making any representation that your investment does not exceed applicable thresholds, we encourage you to review Rule 251(d)(2)(i)(C) of Regulation A.

Other Procedures for Subscribing

Other Broker-Dealers with clearing agreements shall provide the Selling Agents with executed subscription agreements and delivery sheets from their customers and shall settle the transaction with the Selling Agents through DTC at closing. In the event that the Company does not qualify or list on NYSE American, soliciting dealers who are unable to participate in an over-the-counter security may withdraw their subscriptions prior to closing.

 

Prospective investors investing through Other Broker-Dealers will acquire Shares through book-entry order by opening an account with an Other Broker-Dealer, or by utilizing an existing account with an Other Broker-Dealer. In each such case, the account will be an account owned by the investor and held at the clearing firm of such Other Broker-Dealer, as the clearing firm for the exclusive benefit of such investor.

Right to Revoke Subscriptions

 

During the period of time from when you tender your complete, executed subscription agreement through 48 hours after your receipt of an e-mail from us stating the closing date of the Offering and listing date on NYSE American (such time, the “Revocation Deadline”), you may revoke your subscription for Shares by requesting such revocation in writing pursuant to the terms of the subscription agreement. Following such written request, all monies tendered will be returned to you, without interest or deduction. For the avoidance of doubt, you may not revoke or change your subscription or request your subscription funds after the Revocation Deadline.

 

Right to Reject Subscriptions

 

We will notify you as to whether we have accepted or rejected your subscription within 5 business days following our receipt of your complete, executed subscription agreement (forms of which are attached to the Offering Statement, of which this Offering Circular forms a part, as Exhibits 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3) and the receipt of funds required under the subscription agreement in Enterprise Bank & Trust Escrow Account or such other selected dealer designated escrow account. During such period, we have the right to review and accept or reject your subscription in whole or in part, for any reason or no reason. The Lead Selling Agent will conduct customary know-your-customer and AML checks on investors, including background checks for financial crimes and fraud. We anticipate rejecting subscriptions if (i) such subscriptions are received after we have already received and accepted subscription agreements for the maximum offering amount or (ii) the know-your-customer and AML checks raise concerns regarding investor suitability for participation in the offering. While we will endeavor to close this Offering as soon as feasible following the qualification by the SEC of the offering statement of which this offering circular forms a part, there may be a significant amount of time between your execution of the subscription agreement and tendering of funds and closing of this Offering. During such time, you will be entitled to revoke your subscription as disclosed above under “-Right to Revoke Subscriptions.” We will return all monies from rejected subscriptions immediately to you, without interest or deduction.

 

Acceptance of Subscriptions

 

Upon our acceptance of a subscription agreement, we will countersign the subscription agreement and issue the Shares subscribed for at closing. After the Revocation Deadline, you may not revoke or change your subscription or request a return of your subscription funds.

 

Under Rule 251 of Regulation A, unless a company’s offered securities are listed on a national securities exchange, non-accredited, non-natural person investors are subject to the investment limitation and may only invest funds which do not exceed 10% of the greater of the purchaser’s revenue or net assets (as of the purchaser’s most recent fiscal year end). As a result, for so long as our Shares are not listed on NYSE American, non-accredited, natural person may only invest funds in our Shares which do not exceed 10% of the greater of the purchaser’s annual income or net worth (please see below on how to calculate your net worth).

 

How to Calculate Net Worth

 

For the purposes of calculating your net worth, it is defined as the difference between total assets and total liabilities. This calculation must exclude the value of your primary residence and may exclude any indebtedness secured by your primary residence (up to an amount equal to the value of your primary residence). In the case of fiduciary accounts, net worth and/or income suitability requirements may be satisfied by the beneficiary of the account or by the fiduciary, if the fiduciary directly or indirectly provides funds for the purchase of the Shares.

 

In order to purchase the Shares and prior to the acceptance of any funds from an investor, for so long as our Shares are not listed on NYSE American, an investor in our Shares will be required to represent, to the Company’s satisfaction, that he or she is either an accredited investor or is in compliance with the 10% of net worth or annual income limitation on investment in this offering.

 

No Selling Security Holders

 

No securities are being sold for the account of security holders; all net proceeds of this Offering will go to the Company.

 

Transfer Agent and Registrar

 

The Company has engaged Equity Stock Transfer, LLC, a registered transfer agent with the SEC, who will serve as transfer agent to maintain shareholder information on a book-entry basis.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

 

Prior to this Offering, there has been no market for our Shares. Future sales of substantial amounts of our Shares in the public market or the perception that such sales might occur could adversely affect market prices prevailing from time to time. Furthermore, because only a limited number of Shares will be available for sale shortly after this Offering due to existing contractual and legal restrictions on resale as described below, there may be sales of substantial amounts of our Shares in the public market after the restrictions lapse. This may adversely affect the prevailing market price of our Shares and our ability to raise equity capital in the future.

 

After completion of this Offering, we will have 12,141,023 Shares issued and outstanding (excluding shares issuable pursuant to the conversion of Debentures, SAFE Notes and Investor Rights Warrants as described elsewhere in this Offering Circular).

 

All of the Shares sold in this Offering will be freely tradable without restrictions or further registration under the Securities Act, unless the shares are purchased by our “affiliates” as that term is defined in Rule 144 and except certain shares that will be subject to an applicable lock-up period. Any shares owned by our affiliates may not be resold except in compliance with Rule 144 volume limitations, manner of sale and notice requirements, pursuant to another applicable exemption from registration or pursuant to an effective registration statement.

 

Rule 144

 

Affiliate Resales of Restricted Securities

 

Affiliates of ours must generally comply with Rule 144 if they wish to sell any of our Shares in the public market, whether or not those shares are “restricted securities.” “Restricted securities” are any securities acquired from us or one of our affiliates in a transaction not involving a public offering. The Shares sold in this Offering are not considered to be restricted securities.

 

Non-Affiliate Resales of Restricted Securities

 

Any person or entity who is not an affiliate of ours and who has not been an affiliate of ours at any time during the three months preceding a sale is only required to comply with Rule 144 in connection with sales of restricted shares. Subject to the lock-up agreements described above, those persons may sell our Shares that they have beneficially owned for at least one year without any restrictions under Rule 144 immediately following the effective date of the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular is a part.

 

Further, beginning 90 days after the effective date of the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular is a part, a person who is not an affiliate of ours at the time such person sells our Shares, and has not been an affiliate of ours at any time during the three months preceding such sale, and who has beneficially owned such our Shares, as applicable, for at least six months but less than a year, is entitled to sell such shares so long as there is adequate current public information, as defined in Rule 144, available about us.

 

Resales of restricted Shares by non-affiliates are not subject to the manner of sale, volume limitation or notice filing provisions of Rule 144, described above.

 

Rule 701

 

Rule 701 generally allows a shareholder who purchased our Shares pursuant to a written compensatory plan or contract and who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of ours during the immediately preceding 90 days to sell such shares in reliance upon Rule 144, but without being required to comply with the public information, holding period, volume limitation, or notice provisions of Rule 144.

 

Rule 701 also permits affiliates of ours to sell their Rule 701 shares under Rule 144 without complying with the holding period requirements of Rule 144. All holders of Rule 701 shares, however, are required to wait until 90 days after the date of this Offering Circular before selling such shares pursuant to Rule 701 and until expiration of any applicable lock-up period.

 

Equity Incentive Awards

 

We intend to file a registration statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act after the closing of this Offering to register the Shares that are issuable pursuant to our Plan. The registration statement is expected to be filed and become effective as soon as practicable after the completion of this Offering. Accordingly, shares registered under the registration statement will be available for sale in the open market following its effective date, subject to Rule 144 volume limitations and any applicable lock-up arrangements.

MATERIAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS

 

The following description is not intended to constitute a complete analysis of all tax consequences relating to the ownership or disposition of our Shares, including the Shares. You should consult your own tax advisor concerning the tax consequences of your particular situation, as well as any tax consequences that may arise under the laws of any local, state, foreign (including Canada), or other taxing jurisdiction.

 

Taxation in Canada

 

Material Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations

 

The following summary describes the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations pursuant to the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the regulations thereunder (the “Tax Act”) generally applicable as at the date hereof to the acquisition, holding and disposition of the Shares by a holder who acquires, as beneficial owner, the Shares pursuant to the Offering and who, for purposes of the Tax Act and at all relevant times, holds the Shares as capital property, deals at arm’s length with the Company and each underwriter and is not affiliated with the Company or any underwriter (a “Holder”). Generally, the Shares will be considered to be capital property to a Holder provided the Holder does not acquire or hold the Shares in the course of carrying on a business of trading or dealing in securities and has not acquired them in one or more transactions considered to be an adventure or concern in the nature of trade.

 

This summary does not apply to a Holder (i) that is a “financial institution” for the purposes of the mark-to-market rules contained in the Tax Act; (ii) that is a “specified financial institution” as defined in the Tax Act; (iii) an interest in which would be, or for whom a Share would be, a “tax shelter investment” as defined in the Tax Act; (iv) that has made a functional currency reporting election under the Tax Act to report its “Canadian tax results” (as defined in the Tax Act) in a currency other than the Canadian currency; (v) that has or will enter into a “derivative forward agreement”, a “synthetic disposition arrangement” or a “dividend rental arrangement”, each as defined in the Tax Act, with respect to the Shares; or (vi) that carries on, or is deemed to carry on, an insurance business in Canada or elsewhere. Such Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to an investment in the Shares.

 

Additional considerations, not discussed herein, may be applicable to a Holder that is a corporation resident in Canada and that is or becomes, or does not deal at arm’s length for purposes of the Tax Act with a corporation resident in Canada that is or becomes, as part of a transaction or event or series of transactions or events that includes the acquisition of the Shares, controlled by a non-resident person or group of non-resident persons not dealing with each other at arm’s length for purposes of the “foreign affiliate dumping” rules in section 212.3 of the Tax Act. Such Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the possible application of these rules.

 

In addition, this summary does not address the deductibility of interest by a Holder who has borrowed money or otherwise incurred debt in connection with the acquisition of the Shares.

 

This summary is based upon the provisions of the Tax Act in force as of the date hereof, all specific proposals to amend the Tax Act that have been publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (the “Proposed Amendments”) and counsel’s understanding of the current administrative policies and assessing practices of the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) made publicly available prior to the date hereof. This summary assumes the Proposed Amendments will be enacted in the form proposed; however, no assurance can be given that the Proposed Amendments will be enacted in the form proposed, if at all. This summary is not exhaustive of all possible Canadian federal income tax considerations and, except for the Proposed Amendments, does not take into account or anticipate any changes in law or the administrative policies or assessing practices of the CRA, whether by legislative, governmental or judicial action or decision, nor does it take into account provincial, territorial or foreign tax considerations, which may differ significantly from those discussed herein.

 

The Company is a Canadian corporation for purposes of the Tax Act. As referenced under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations – U.S. Tax Status of the Company”, the Company should be treated as a U.S. domestic corporation for United States federal income tax purposes, with related consequences to the Company and its shareholders. Accordingly, all prospective investors, including Holders as defined above, should review the discussion under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” and consult with their own tax advisors in this regard before making an investment in the Shares. For purposes of the discussion of Canadian federal income tax considerations below, it has been assumed that the Company will be classified as a U.S. domestic corporation for United States federal income tax purposes at all relevant times, although no assurance can be given in this regard.

 

Subject to certain exceptions that are not discussed in this summary, for the purposes of the Tax Act, all amounts relating to the acquisition, holding or disposition of Shares, including dividends, must be determined in Canadian dollars using the relevant exchange rate determined in accordance with the Tax Act.

 

94

 

 

This summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any particular holder or prospective holder of the Shares, and no representations with respect to the income tax consequences to any holder or prospective holder are made. Consequently, holders and prospective holders of the Shares should consult their own tax advisors for advice with respect to the tax consequences to them of acquiring the Shares, having regard to their particular circumstances.

 

Holders Resident in Canada

 

This portion of the summary applies to a Holder who, at all relevant times, for purposes of the Tax Act and any applicable income tax treaty or convention, is or is deemed to be resident in Canada (a “Resident Holder”).

 

Certain Resident Holders who might not otherwise be considered to hold their Shares as capital property may, in certain circumstances, be entitled to have the Shares, and all other “Canadian securities” (as defined in the Tax Act) owned by such Resident Holders in the taxation year of the election and any subsequent taxation year, treated as capital property by making the irrevocable election permitted by subsection 39(4) of the Tax Act. Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability or advisability of this election.

 

Dividends on the Shares

 

Dividends received or deemed to be received on the Shares by a Resident Holder who is an individual (other than certain trusts) will generally be included in the individual’s income and will be subject to the gross-up and dividend tax credit rules applicable to taxable dividends received from taxable Canadian corporations, including the enhanced dividend tax credit rules applicable to any dividends designated by the Company as “eligible dividends” in accordance with the Tax Act. There may be limitations on the ability of the Company to designate dividends as “eligible dividends.”

 

In the case of a Resident Holder that is a corporation, the amount of any such taxable dividend that is included in its income for a taxation year will generally also be deductible in computing its taxable income for that taxation year. In certain circumstances, a dividend received or deemed to be received by a Resident Holder that is a corporation may be deemed to be proceeds of disposition or a capital gain pursuant to subsection 55(2) of the Tax Act. Resident Holders that are corporations should consult their own tax advisors having regard to their own particular circumstances.

 

A Resident Holder that is a “private corporation” or a “subject corporation”, each as defined in the Tax Act, may be liable under Part IV of the Tax Act to pay an additional tax (refundable in certain circumstances) on dividends received or deemed to be received on the Shares to the extent such dividends are deductible in computing its taxable income for the taxation year.

 

A Resident Holder will be subject to United States withholding tax on dividends received on the Shares. A foreign tax credit under the Tax Act in respect of such withholding tax may not be available to a Resident Holder because the amount of a foreign tax credit in respect of taxes paid to a foreign country is, in general terms, limited to the Canadian tax otherwise payable in respect of income from sources in that foreign country, and is subject to the other requirements of the Tax Act. Dividends received on the Shares by a Resident Holder may not be treated as income from a source in the United States for these purposes. Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability of a foreign tax credit, or deduction, under the Tax Act in respect of any United States withholding tax applicable to dividends on the Offering Shares in their particular circumstances.

 

Dispositions of Shares

 

Upon a disposition (or a deemed disposition) of a Share, a Resident Holder generally will realize a capital gain (or a capital loss) equal to the amount, if any, by which the proceeds of disposition of such Share, net of any reasonable costs of disposition, are greater (or are less) than the adjusted cost base of such Share to the Resident Holder.

 

The adjusted cost base to a Resident Holder of Shares acquired hereunder will be determined by averaging the cost of such Shares to the Resident Holder with the adjusted cost base of any other Shares held by the Resident Holder as capital property immediately before the acquisition.

 

Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses

 

Generally, one-half of any capital gain (a “taxable capital gain”) realized by a Resident Holder in a taxation year must be included in the Resident Holder’s income for the year. Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Tax Act, one-half of any capital loss (an “allowable capital loss”) realized by a Resident Holder in a taxation year must be deducted from taxable capital gains realized by the Resident Holder in that year. Allowable capital losses in excess of taxable capital gains realized in a taxation year generally may be carried back and deducted in any of the three preceding taxation years or carried forward and deducted in any subsequent taxation year against net taxable capital gains realized in such years, to the extent and under the circumstances described in the Tax Act.

 

The amount of any capital loss realized by a Resident Holder that is a corporation on the disposition of a Share may be reduced by the amount of any dividends received or deemed to be received by it on such Share, to the extent and under the circumstances described in the Tax Act. Similar rules may apply where a Share is owned by a partnership or trust of which a corporation, trust or partnership is a member or beneficiary. Resident Holders to whom these rules may be relevant should consult their own tax advisors.

 

As described under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations – U.S. Tax Status of the Company”, the Shares are expected to be treated as shares of a U.S. domestic corporation for United States federal income tax purposes. If a Resident Holder may be subject to United States tax on a gain realized in respect of a disposition of Offering Shares, such gain may not be treated as income from a source in the United States for purposes of the foreign tax credit rules under the Tax Act, and a foreign tax credit may not be available.

 

95

 

 

Aggregate Investment Income

 

A Resident Holder that is a “Canadian-controlled private corporation” (as defined in the Tax Act) throughout the relevant taxation year, or a “substantive CCPC” (as defined in the Tax Act) at any time in the relevant year, may be liable to pay a refundable tax on its “aggregate investment income”, which is defined in the Tax Act to include an amount in respect of taxable capital gains and dividends or deemed dividends that are not deductible in computing such corporation’s income. Resident Holders to whom these rules may be relevant should consult their tax advisors regarding their particular circumstances.

 

Alternative Minimum Tax

 

Capital gains realized and dividends received or deemed to be received by an individual (including certain trusts) may give rise to liability for alternative minimum tax as calculated under the detailed rules set out in the Tax Act. Resident Holders who are individuals should consult their own tax advisors in this regard.

 

Holders Not Resident in Canada

 

This portion of the summary applies to a Holder who, at all relevant times, for purposes of the Tax Act and any applicable income tax treaty or convention (i) is neither resident nor deemed to be resident in Canada, and (ii) does not, and is not deemed to, use or hold the Shares in a business carried on in Canada (a “Non-Resident Holder”). In addition, this portion of the summary does not apply to an insurer who carries on an insurance business or an “authorized foreign bank” (as defined in the Tax Act) and such Non-Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors.

 

Dividends on the Shares

 

Any dividends paid or credited, or deemed to be paid or credited, on the Shares, as the case may be, to a Non-Resident Holder will generally be subject to Canadian withholding tax at the rate of 25% of the gross amount of the dividend, subject to any reduction in the rate of withholding to which that Non-Resident Holder may be entitled under an applicable income tax treaty or convention. For instance, where the Non-Resident Holder is a resident of the United States that is entitled to applicable benefits under the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention (1980), as amended, and is the beneficial owner of the dividends, the rate of Canadian withholding tax applicable to dividends is generally reduced to 15%. The rate of withholding tax is generally further reduced to 5% if the beneficial owner of such dividend is a company that owns, directly or indirectly, at least 10% of the voting shares of the Company. Non-Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors to determine their entitlement to relief under an applicable income tax treaty or convention.

 

Disposition of the Shares

 

A Non-Resident Holder will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act in respect of any capital gain realized by such Non-Resident Holder on a disposition of a Share unless such share constitutes “taxable Canadian property” (as defined in the Tax Act) of the Non-Resident Holder at the time of disposition and the Non-Resident Holder is not entitled to relief under an applicable income tax treaty or convention.

 

Generally, the Shares will not constitute “taxable Canadian property” of a Non-Resident Holder at any particular time provided that the Shares are then listed on a “designated stock exchange” for the purposes of the Tax Act (which currently includes NYSE American), unless at any time during the 60-month period immediately preceding such time the following 2 conditions are satisfied concurrently: (i) at least 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series of the capital shares of the Company were owned by or belonged to any combination of (x) the Non-Resident Holder, (y) persons with whom the Non-Resident Holder did not deal at arm’s length (for the purposes of the Tax Act), and (z) partnerships in which the Non-Resident Holder or a person described in (y) holds a membership interest directly or indirectly through one or more partnerships; and (ii) more than 50% of the fair market value of such shares was derived directly or indirectly from one, or any combination of, real or immovable property situated in Canada, Canadian resource property (as defined in the Tax Act), timber resource property (as defined in the Tax Act) or options in respect of, interests in or for civil law rights in, any such property (whether or not such property exists). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Shares may also be deemed to be “taxable Canadian property” in certain circumstances.

 

96

 

 

In cases where a Non-Resident Holder disposes (or is deemed to have disposed) of a Share that is “taxable Canadian property” to that Non-Resident Holder, and the Non-Resident Holder is not entitled to an exemption under an applicable income tax treaty or convention, the consequences described above under the headings “Holders Resident in Canada — Dispositions of Shares” and “Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses” will generally be applicable to such disposition. Non-Resident Holders for whom a Share is, or may be, “taxable Canadian property” should consult their own tax advisors.

 

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

 

The following discussion is a general summary of material U.S. federal income tax considerations with respect to the ownership and disposition of shares of our Shares. This summary is based on current U.S. federal income tax laws (including provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder and administrative rulings and court decisions, all in effect as of the date hereof), all of which are subject to change at any time, possibly with retroactive effect. Any such change or differing interpretation may be applied retroactively in a manner that could adversely affect owners of our Shares.

 

For purposes of this discussion, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of one or more of our Shares that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes one of the following:

 

an individual citizen or resident of the United States, including individuals treated as residents of the United States solely for tax purposes;

 

a corporation created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof;

 

an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source, or;

 

a trust if (1) a court within the United States can exercise primary supervision over it, and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (2) the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person.

 

This discussion applies only to a U.S. Holder that holds Shares as “capital assets” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). Unless otherwise provided, this summary does not discuss reporting requirements. This discussion is of a general nature only and does not take into account the particular facts and circumstances, with respect to U.S. federal income tax issues, of any particular U.S. Holder. In addition, this discussion does not address any tax consequences other than U.S. federal income tax consequences, such as U.S. state and local tax consequences, U.S. estate and gift tax consequences, and non-U.S. tax consequences, and does not describe all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant in light of a U.S. Holder’s particular circumstances, including alternative minimum tax consequences, and tax consequences to holders that are subject to special provisions under the Code, including, but not limited to, holders that:

 

are tax exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, individual retirement accounts, or other tax deferred accounts;

 

are financial institutions, underwriters, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, or regulated investment companies;

 

are brokers or dealers in securities or currencies or holders that are traders in securities that elect to apply a mark-to-market accounting method;

 

have a “functional currency” for U.S. federal income tax purposes that is not the U.S. dollar;

 

own Shares as part of a straddle, hedging transaction, conversion transaction, constructive sale, or other arrangement involving more than one position;

 

97

 

 

acquire Shares in connection with the exercise of employee share options or otherwise as compensation for services;

 

are partnerships or other pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes (or investors in such partnerships and entities);

 

are required to accelerate the recognition of any item of gross income with respect to the Shares as a result of such income being recognized on an applicable financial statement;

 

are controlled foreign corporations;

 

are passive foreign investment companies;

 

hold the Shares in connection with trade or business conducted outside of the United States or in connection with a permanent establishment or other fixed place of business outside of the United States; or

 

are former U.S. citizens or former long-term residents of the United States.

 

If an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds shares of our securities, the tax treatment of a person treated as a partner for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Persons that for U.S. federal income tax purposes are treated as a partner in a partnership holding shares of our securities should consult their tax advisors.

 

We have not sought, and do not expect to seek, a ruling from the United States Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”), as to any United States federal income tax consequence described herein. The IRS may disagree with the discussion herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court. Moreover, there can be no assurance that future legislation, regulations, administrative rulings or court decisions will not adversely affect the accuracy of the statements in this discussion.

 

PROSPECTIVE HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE APPLICATION OF THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR INDIVIDUAL SITUATIONS, AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF UNITS ARISING UNDER THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL ESTATE OR GIFT TAX RULES OR UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCAL, FOREIGN OR OTHER TAXING JURISDICTION OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE TAX TREATY.

 

U.S.  Tax Status of the Company

 

Although the Company is incorporated under Canadian law, as a result of the consummation of the Merger, the Company should be treated, pursuant to Section 7874 of the Code, as a U.S. corporation for all purposes under the Code. As a result, since the Company should be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we do not intend to treat the Company as a “passive foreign investment company,” as such rules apply only to non-U.S. corporations that are treated as such for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Since the Company is a taxable corporation in Canada, it would likely be subject to income taxation in both the United States and Canada on the same income, which could reduce the amount of income available for distribution to shareholders. The ability of the Company to take foreign tax credits against its U.S. tax liability in respect of taxes paid in Canada may be limited.

 

The rules under Section 7874 are complex and require analysis of all relevant facts and circumstances, and there is limited guidance and significant uncertainties as to aspects of their application. If it were determined that we should be taxed as a foreign corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 7874 of the Code, the U.S. federal income tax consequences described herein could be materially and adversely affected. For example, U.S. Holders could be subject to the rules applicable to passive foreign investment companies. Beneficial owners of our shares should consult their own tax advisors with respect the tax consequences if we were classified as a foreign corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 

The remainder of this discussion assumes that the Company is treated as a U.S. corporation for all U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 

U.S. Holders

 

Taxation of Distributions

 

If we pay distributions in cash or other property (other than certain distributions of our Share or rights to acquire our Share) to U.S. Holders of our Shares, such distributions generally will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in our Shares. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the Shares and will be treated as described under “U.S. Holders — Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Our Shares” below.

 

98

 

 

Dividends we pay to a U.S. Holder that is a taxable corporation generally will qualify for the dividends received deduction if the requisite holding period is satisfied. With certain exceptions and provided certain holding period requirements are met, dividends we pay to a non-corporate U.S. Holder may constitute “qualified dividend income” that will be subject to tax at the applicable tax rate accorded to long-term capital gains. If the holding period requirements are not satisfied, then a corporation may not be able to qualify for the dividends received deduction and would have taxable income equal to the entire dividend amount, and non-corporate holders may be subject to tax on such dividend at regular ordinary income tax rates instead of the preferential rate that applies to qualified dividend income. If a U.S. Holder is subject to Canadian withholding tax on dividends paid on the holder’s securities to the U.S. Holder, the dividends will be considered U.S. source income, which could limit the ability of a U.S. Holder to claim a foreign tax credit for the Canadian withholding taxes imposed in respect of such a dividend. See “U.S. Holders — Foreign Tax Credit Limitations” below.

 

Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Our Shares

 

Subject to the discussion below under “U.S. Holders — Redemption of Our Shares,” upon a sale, taxable exchange or other taxable disposition of our Shares, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in such Shares. Any such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Shares so disposed of exceeds one year. Long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. Holders currently will be eligible to be taxed at reduced rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

 

To the extent a U.S. Holder pays any Canadian tax on a sale, exchange or disposition of our Shares, a U.S. foreign tax credit may not be available. See “U.S. Holders — Foreign Tax Credit Limitations” below.

 

Foreign Tax Credit Limitations

 

Because the Company is subject to tax both as a U.S. domestic corporation and as a Canadian corporation, a U.S. Holder may pay, through withholding, Canadian tax, as well as U.S. federal income tax, with respect to dividends paid on its securities. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, a U.S. Holder may elect for any taxable year to receive either a credit or a deduction for all foreign income taxes paid by the holder during the year. Complex limitations apply to the foreign tax credit, including a general limitation that the credit cannot exceed the proportionate share of a taxpayer’s U.S. federal income tax that the taxpayer’s foreign source taxable income bears to the taxpayer’s worldwide taxable income. In applying this limitation, items of income and deduction must be classified, under complex rules, as either foreign source or U.S. source.

 

The status of the Company as a U.S. domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes will cause dividends paid by the Company to be treated as U.S. source rather than foreign source income for this purpose. As a result, a foreign tax credit may be unavailable for any Canadian tax paid on dividends received from the Company. Similarly, to the extent a sale or disposition securities by a U.S. Holder results in Canadian tax payable by the U.S. Holder (for example, because the Shares constitute taxable Canadian property within the meaning of the Tax Act), a U.S. foreign tax credit may be unavailable to the U.S. Holder for such Canadian tax. In each case, however, the U.S. Holder may be able to take a deduction for the U.S. Holder’s Canadian tax paid, provided that the U.S. Holder has not elected to credit other foreign taxes during the same taxable year. The foreign tax credit rules are complex, and each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding these rules.

 

Foreign Currency

 

The amount of any distribution or proceeds paid in Canadian dollars to a U.S. Holder in connection with the ownership of the Shares, or on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of the Shares, generally will be equal to the U.S. dollar value of such Canadian dollars based on the exchange rate applicable on the date of receipt (regardless of whether such Canadian dollars are converted into U.S. dollars at that time). A U.S. Holder that receives Canadian dollars and converts such Canadian dollars into U.S. dollars at a conversion rate other than the rate in effect on the date of receipt may have a foreign currency exchange gain or loss, which generally would be treated as U.S. source ordinary income or loss for foreign tax credit purposes.

 

Different rules apply to U.S. Holders who use the accrual method. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own U.S. tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of receiving, owning, and disposing of Canadian dollars.

 

Additional Tax on Passive Income

 

Certain U.S. Holders that are individuals, estates, or trusts (other than trusts that are exempt from tax) will be subject to a 3.8% tax on all or a portion of their “net investment income,” which includes dividends on the Shares and net gains from the disposition of the Shares.

 

Treasury Regulations provide that, subject to the election described in the following paragraph, solely for purposes of this additional tax, distributions of previously taxed income will be treated as dividends and included in net investment income subject to the additional 3.8% tax.

 

99

 

 

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

 

In general, information reporting requirements may apply to dividends paid to a U.S. Holder and to the proceeds of the sale, taxable exchange or other taxable disposition of our Shares unless the U.S. Holder is an exempt recipient. Backup withholding may apply to such payments if the U.S. Holder fails to provide a taxpayer identification number, a certification of exempt status or has been notified by the IRS that it is subject to backup withholding (and such notification has not been withdrawn).

 

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

 

Non-U.S. Holders

 

This section applies to you if you are a “Non-U.S. Holder.” As used herein, the term “Non-U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of our Shares that is for United States federal income tax purposes not a U.S. Holder, as defined above.

 

The following summary does not address aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to a Non-U.S. Holder subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax laws, including, but not limited to, any of the following:

 

  (i) dealers in securities;
     
  (ii) banks and other financial institutions;
     
  (iii) insurance companies;
     
  (iv) tax-exempt organizations plans or accounts;
     
  (v) persons holding their Shares as part of a ‘‘hedge,’’ ‘‘straddle’’ or other risk reduction transaction; and
     
  (vi) controlled foreign corporations or passive foreign investment companies, as those terms are defined in the Code.

 

Any such Non-U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor with respect to an investment in the Shares.

 

This summary also does not address the tax consequences resulting to a holder of the Shares that is an entity treated as a pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes or any investors or equity holders in such entities. The tax treatment of an investor in such an entity will generally depend upon the status of the investor and the activities of the partnership or other pass-through entity. We urge any Non-U.S. Holder of the Shares that is a partnership or other pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes and partners, investors, members and other equity holders in such entities to consult their tax advisors about the tax consequences relating to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of the Shares.

 

The following discussion is a general summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the Shares applicable to Non-U.S. Holder. This summary does not consider specific facts and circumstances that may be relevant to a particular Non-U.S. Holder’s tax position and does not consider U.S. state and local or non-U.S. tax consequences and also does not consider U.S. federal estate and gift tax considerations. Because the Shares and will be treated as shares of a U.S. domestic corporation, the U.S. gift, estate, generation-skipping transfer tax, and other relevant tax rules generally apply to Non-U.S. Holder of such shares. Each Non-U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding these rules.

 

Taxation of Distributions

 

If we pay distributions in cash or other property (other than certain distributions of our Shares or rights to acquire our Shares) to Non-U.S. Holders of our Shares, such distributions generally will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the Non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in our Shares. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the Shares and will be treated as described under “Non-U.S. Holders — Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Our Shares.”

 

Subject to the discussions below on effectively connected income, dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder of our Shares will be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a rate of 30% of the gross amount of the dividends (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty, provided the Non-U.S. Holder furnishes a valid IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other applicable documentation) certifying qualification for the lower treaty rate). A Non-U.S. Holder that does not timely furnish the required documentation, but that qualifies for a reduced treaty rate, may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS.

 

If dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, the Non-U.S. Holder maintains a permanent establishment in the United States to which such dividends are attributable), the Non-U.S. Holder will be exempt from the U.S. federal withholding tax described above. To claim the exemption, the Non-U.S. Holder generally must furnish to the applicable withholding agent a valid IRS Form W-8ECI, certifying that the dividends are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States.

 

100

 

 

Any such effectively connected dividends will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net basis at the regular graduated rates. A Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation also may be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on such effectively connected dividends, as adjusted for certain items.

 

Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding any applicable tax treaties that may provide for different rules.

 

Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Our Shares

 

Subject to the discussion below under “Non-U.S. Holders — Redemption of Our Shares,” a Non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain realized upon the sale, taxable exchange or other taxable disposition of our Shares unless:

 

the gain is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, the Non-U.S. Holder maintains a permanent establishment in the United States to which such gain is attributable);

 

the Non-U.S. Holder is a nonresident alien individual present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year of the disposition and certain other requirements are met; or

 

our Shares constitute a U.S. real property interest (“USRPI”) by reason of our status as a U.S. real property holding corporation (“USRPHC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 

Gain described in the first bullet point above generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at the regular graduated rates. A Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation also may be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on such effectively connected gain, as adjusted for certain items.

 

Gain described in the second bullet point above will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty), which may be offset by U.S. source capital losses of the Non-U.S. Holder, provided the Non-U.S. Holder has timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to such losses.

 

With respect to the third bullet point above, we believe we currently are not, and do not anticipate becoming, a USRPHC. Because the determination of whether we are a USRPHC depends, however, on the fair market value of our USRPIs relative to the fair market value of our non-U.S. real property interests and our other business assets, there can be no assurance we currently are not a USRPHC or will not become one in the future. Even if we are or were to become a USRPHC, gain arising from the sale or other taxable disposition by a Non-U.S. Holder of our Shares will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax if our Shares are “regularly traded,” as defined by applicable Treasury Regulations, on an established securities market, and such Non-U.S. Holder owned, actually and constructively, 5% or less of our Shares throughout the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of the sale or other taxable disposition and the Non-U.S. Holder’s holding period.

 

Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding potentially applicable income tax treaties that may provide for different rules.

 

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

 

Payments of dividends on our Shares will not be subject to backup withholding, provided the applicable withholding agent does not have actual knowledge or reason to know the Non-U.S. Holder is a United States person and the Non-U.S. Holder either certifies its non-U.S. status, such as by furnishing a valid IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI, or otherwise establishes an exemption. However, information returns are required to be filed with the IRS in connection with any dividends on our Shares paid to the Non-U.S. Holder, regardless of whether any tax was actually withheld. In addition, proceeds of the sale, taxable exchange or other taxable disposition of our Shares within the United States or conducted through certain U.S.-related brokers generally will not be subject to backup withholding or information reporting, if the applicable withholding agent receives the certification described above and does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that such Non-U.S. Holder is a United States person, or the Non-U.S. Holder otherwise establishes an exemption. Proceeds of a disposition of our Shares conducted through a non-U.S. office of a non-U.S. broker generally will not be subject to backup withholding or information reporting.

 

101

 

 

Copies of information returns that are filed with the IRS may also be made available under the provisions of an applicable treaty or agreement to the tax authorities of the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides or is established.

 

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against a Non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

 

All Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of information reporting and backup withholding to them.

 

FATCA Withholding Taxes

 

Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations and administrative guidance promulgated thereunder (commonly referred to as the “Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act” or “FATCA”) generally impose withholding of 30% on payments of dividends (including constructive dividends) on our Shares to “foreign financial institutions” (which is broadly defined for this purpose and in general includes investment vehicles) and certain other non-U.S. entities unless various U.S. information reporting and due diligence requirements (generally relating to ownership by U.S. persons of interests in or accounts with those entities) have been satisfied by, or an exemption applies to, the payee (typically certified as to by the delivery of a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN-E). The IRS has issued proposed regulations (on which taxpayers may rely until final regulations are issued) that provide that these withholding requirements would generally not apply to gross proceeds from sales or other dispositions of our Shares. However, there can be no assurance that final Treasury regulations will provide the same exceptions from FATCA withholding as the proposed Treasury regulations. Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing FATCA may be subject to different rules. Under certain circumstances, a Non-U.S. Holder might be eligible for refunds or credits of such withholding taxes, and a Non-U.S. Holder might be required to file a U.S. federal income tax return to claim such refunds or credits. Similarly, dividends in respect of our Shares held by an investor that is a non-financial non-U.S. entity that does not qualify under certain exceptions will generally be subject to withholding at a rate of 30%, unless such entity either (1) certifies to us or the applicable withholding agent that such entity does not have any “substantial United States owners” or (2) provides certain information regarding the entity’s “substantial United States owners,” which will in turn be provided to the U.S. Department of Treasury. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the effects of FATCA on their investment in our Shares.

 

102

 

 

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

 

We are a corporation organized under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. Most of our directors and executive officers reside in Canada, and significantly all of our assets and the assets of such persons are located outside of the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon these persons or us, or to enforce against them or us judgments obtained in U.S. courts, whether or not predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or of the securities laws of any state of the United States. There is doubt as to the enforceability in Canada, either in original actions or in actions for enforcement of judgments of U.S. courts, of civil liabilities predicated solely on the federal securities laws of the United States or the securities laws of any state of the United States.

 

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES LIABILITIES

 

The Company’s Articles, subject to the provisions of British Columbia law, contain provisions which allow the corporation to indemnify its officers and directors against liabilities and other expenses incurred as the result of defending or administering any pending or anticipated legal issue in connection with service to the Company if it is determined that person acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed was in the best interest of the Company. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, may be unenforceable.

 

LEGAL MATTERS

 

We are being represented by McMillan LLP with respect to certain legal matters as to United States federal securities law. The validity of the Shares offered in this Offering and certain legal matters as to Canadian law will be passed upon for us by McMillan LLP, of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

1)Nature of operations and going concern

 

Modern Mining Technology Corp. (the “Company” or “MMTC”) was incorporated under British Columbia Business Corporations Act on 26 January 2021. The Company’s registered office is held at 1500 – 1055 West Georgia Street, Royal Centre, PO Box 11, Vancouver, BC V6E 4N7, Canada.

 

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements (the “Financial Statements”) have been prepared on the basis of the accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes the Company will be able to continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. There are several adverse conditions such as the Company has not generated revenue to date and has a net working capital deficiency that cast significant doubt upon the soundness of this assumption. These Financial Statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern, meaning it will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations.

 

Management believes that the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to raise additional capital. There cannot be any assurance that the Company will ever generate revenue or even if it does generate revenue that it will achieve profitable operations. Furthermore, no assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on the Company’s operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for the existing shareholders, in case of equity financing. These factors represent material uncertainties that cast substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

 

These Financial Statements do not give effect to any adjustments which would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and thus be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in these Financial Statements. Any such adjustments could be material.

Accumulated deficit  $(48,756,377)  $(11,469,537)

 

2)Basis of presentation – Statement of Compliance

 

These Financial Statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”), specifically International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”). The term “IFRS” is used throughout these Financial Statements to refer collectively to all standards issued by the IASB, including those originally issued as International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) and those issued as International Financial Reporting Standards. The Financial Statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments classified as financial instruments at fair value through profit and loss, which are stated at their fair value.

3)Material accounting policy information

 

The accounting policies and methods of computation followed in preparing these Financial Statements are the same as those followed in preparing the most recent audited annual consolidated financial statements. For a complete summary of significant accounting policies, please refer to the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.

 

The Financial Statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these Financial Statements should be read together with the annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2024.

 

4)Significant accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty

 

The preparation of the Company’s Financial Statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of the Financial Statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual outcomes can differ from these estimates.

 

Management must make significant judgments or assessments as to how financial assets and liabilities are categorized. The following are the critical judgments and areas involving estimates that management have made in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amount recognized in the Financial Statements.

 

a)Significant accounting estimates:

 

Significant assumptions about the future that management has made and about other sources of estimation uncertainty at the financial position reporting date that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities relate to but are not limited to the following:

 

Fair value measurement of warrants and stock options

 

Certain of the Company’s warrants are remeasured at fair value at the end of every reporting period given they are settled on a cashless basis, which is an area of significant judgement given the Company is not publicly traded. Key assumptions include the share price, probability of an initial public offering and timing of an initial public offering.

 

b)Significant accounting judgments:

 

Significant judgments about the future that management has made and about other sources of judgment uncertainty at the financial position reporting date that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities relate to but are not limited to:

 

Functional currency: The determination of the functional currency of the Company as the Canadian dollar and it’s subsidiary as the US$.

 

Going concern: The Company’s ability to execute its strategy by funding future working capital requirements requires judgment. Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, such as expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

5)New standards, amendments and interpretations not yet adopted

 

The following amendments to standards and interpretations became effective for the annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024. The application of these amendments and interpretations had no significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. The IASB and the IFRIC have issued the following new and revised standards and interpretations that are not yet effective for the relevant reporting periods and the Company has not early adopted these standards, amendments and interpretations. However, the Company is currently assessing what impact the application of these standards or amendments will have on the consolidated financial statements of the Company. The Company intends to adopt these standards, if applicable, when the standards become effective:

 

-Effective 1 January 2027, the Company will adopt IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements. The new standards replace IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, and for all entities will -

 

Introduce a new defined structure for the statement of profit and loss and require the classification of income and expenses in that statement into one of five categories: operating; investing; financing; income taxes; and discontinued operations. IFRS 18 introduces definitions of these categories for purposes of the statement of profit and loss. Specific categorization requirements will apply to entities whose ‘main business activity’ is to provide financing to customers or to invest in specified assets. Entities will also be required to present new subtotals for ‘operating profit or loss’ and ‘profit or loss before financing and income taxes;

 

Require disclosure of ‘management-defined performance measures’ (MPMs) in a single note to the financial statements. MPMs are subtotals of income and expenses that an entity uses in public communications outside of its financial statements, to communicate management’s view of an aspect of the financial performance of the entity as a whole to users. Entities must disclose a reconciliation between the measure and the most directly comparable total or subtotal specifically required to be disclosed by IFRS Accounting Standards or subtotal listed in IFRS 18;

 

Enhance guidance about how to group information within the financial statements; and

 

For the statement of cash flows, require that ‘operating profit or loss’ be used as the starting point for determining cash flows from operating activities under the indirect method, and remove the optionality around classification of cash flows from interests and dividends.

 

IFRS 18 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027, including for interim financial statements. Earlier application is permitted. The new standards is to be applied retrospectively, and, in the year of adoption, a reconciliation is required between how the statement of profit or loss was presented in the comparative period under IAS 1 and how it is presented in the current year under IFRS 18.

6)Financial instruments and risk management

 

In common with all other businesses, the Company is exposed to risk that arise from its use of financial instruments. This note describes the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks and the method used to measure them. Further quantitative information in respect to these risks is presented throughout the Financial Statements.

 

Risk management is carried out by the Company’s management team under policies approved by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors also provided regular guidance for overall risk management.

 

a)Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or manage its obligations associated with financial liabilities. In the management of liquidity risk, the Company maintains a balance between continuity of funding and the flexibility through the use of borrowings. Management closely monitors the liquidity position and expects to have adequate sources of funding to finance the Company’s projects and operations. The Company is dependent on external financing and will be required to raise additional capital in the future to fund its operations (Note 1).

 

As at 30 September 2025 and 31 December 2024, the Company had a cash and cash equivalents balance of $305,804 (31 December 2024 - $101,829) to settle current liabilities of $41,928,068 (31 December 2024 - $8,038,773). So far, the Company is not profitable and has had to rely on the issuance of equity securities for cash, primarily through private placements and from related and other parties. The Company’s access to financing is uncertain. There can be no assurance of continued access to significant equity or debt financing.

 

b)Foreign currency risk

 

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates.

 

The Company’s certain operating expenses and acquisition costs are denominated in US$ and incurred by MMTC Delaware, and a large portion of the expenses of the Company are in Canadian dollars. The Company’s corporate office is based in Canada, and the exposure to exchange rate fluctuations arises mainly on foreign currencies, which are the US$.

 

The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk. The Company has not entered into any derivative instruments to manage foreign exchange fluctuations; however, management monitors foreign exchange exposure, and if rates continue to fall, management will look at entering into derivative contracts. Should the US dollar and Canadian dollar exchange rate have changed by 5% at the period end, the impact to profit or loss would be +/- $74,059.

 

The Company's monetary assets and liabilities denominated in Canadian dollars are shown here in US$:

12)Right-of-use assets and lease liability

 

The Company has entered into a contractual arrangement that include right-of-use assets that relate to the lease of its operating facility. On 22 September 2022, the Company entered into a lease agreement for the lease of the Company’s North Carolina facility for E-Waste feedstock processing. The lease term is for three years, with a right to extend for three additional one year terms. Annual rent during the first three lease years is $120,000, payable in monthly instalments of $10,000. This is subject to adjustment upon extension of the lease term. A security deposit in the amount of $30,000 was paid upon execution of the lease and will be returned without interest at the end of the term, or upon the earlier termination within the conditions of this lease. The incremental borrowing rate utilized to discount future lease payments was 12%.

 

The Company’s operating facility lease expired on 22 September 2025 and the Company used its first right and renewed the lease for an additional one year term. The extension of this lease was accounted for as follows:

13)Convertible debenture and interest payable

 

In April 2022, MMTC arranged for an offering of unsecured convertible debentures (“Debentures”) in an aggregate principal amount of $3,331,390. The Debentures bear interest at five percent (5%) per annum and are unsecured obligations of the Company. The Debentures were due thirty-six months following their issuance. The Debentures also provide that in the event the Company completes a U.S. Listing (i.e., the offering), the principal amount of the Debentures plus any accrued unpaid interest will automatically convert into Common Shares at a conversion price equal to the lessor of (A) a 40% discount to the price of the offering, and (B) $5.00, and shall be subject to a six (6) month hold period from the completion of the offering. Should the Company complete a Canadian Listing (i.e., the offering), the principal amount of the Debentures plus any accrued unpaid interest will automatically convert into Units, comprised of one common share and one-half warrant at a conversion price equal to the lessor of a 20% discount to the price of the offering price. Each whole warrant shall be exercisable at a price equal to a 218% premium to the offering price for a period of 24 months from the date of the Canadian Listing.

 

The Company evaluated the terms and conditions of the contingent settlement provision and determined that the entire instrument would be treated as a financial liability at amortised cost as there is no unconditional right to avoid delivering cash or another financial asset. The transaction price was determined to be the fair value of the convertible debt. The Company incurred $156,994 in finder’s fees and $26,701 in legal fees which were deducted from the principal value of the convertible debt. Interest is accrued at the rate of 5% per annum (based on a year of 360 days comprised of twelve 30-day months), payable only on the maturity date of the Debentures. During the period ended 30 September 2025, the Company recorded $156,877 (31 December 2024 - $167,047) in interest which was recorded as interest expense in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. The Debentures are being amortized over the life of the debenture using the effective interest rate of 7.04%. Accretion for the period ended 30 September 2025 was $17,512 (31 December 2024 - $64,547). The Company amended these Debentures, whereby the Company extended the maturity date from 7 April 2025 to 7 April 2027, with the interest rate increased from 5% per annum to 7% per annum. The Company assessed that the amendment to the Debentures constituted a loan modification, with no gain or loss recognized upon modification.

 

During the year ended 31 December 2024, MMTC arranged for an offering of unsecured convertible debentures (“2024 Debentures”) in an aggregate principal amount of $92,300. The 2024 Debentures bears interest at five percent (5%) per annum and are unsecured obligations of the Company. The 2024 Debentures are due thirty-six months following their issuance (i.e. 28 July 2027). The 2024 Debentures also provide that in the event that the Company completes a go-public transaction in any recognized stock exchange, the principal amount and all accrued and unpaid interest will automatically convert into Common Shares at a conversion price equal to the lessor of (A) a 40% discount to the price of the offering and (B) $5.00 and shall be subject to a six (6) month hold period from the completion of the offering. The Company incurred $nil in finder’s fees. Interest is accrued at the rate of 5% per annum (based on a year of 360 days comprised of twelve 30-day months), payable only on the maturity date of the Debentures. During the period ended 30 September 2025, the Company recorded $3,500 (31 December 2024 - $2,346) in interest which was recorded as interest expense in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. The Debentures are being amortized over the life of the debenture using the effective interest rate of 5%. Accretion for the period ended 30 September 2025 was $nil (31 December 2024 - $nil).

 

On 11 September 2025, the Company entered into a Pooling Agreement, where the Debenture Shares (upon IPO, the Debentures will automatically convert into common shares and will be subject to contractual resale restrictions for 180 days from the IPO, with staged releases of 50%, 25%, and the remaining 25% (in 5% tranches), subject to certain early release provisions based on trading price and volume thresholds.

14)Contract liability

 

On 18 June 2025, the Company entered into an Investment Agreement with OR Royalties Inc. (“OR”) to support development of the Company’s initial electronic-waste recovery project in Greenville, North Carolina (the “Initial Project”). Under the agreement, OR purchased 47,058 common shares of the Company for gross proceeds of $200,000 (the “Initial Investment”). In addition to the cash consideration, the Company is also required to undertake a third-party study on the technical feasibility of the Company’s technology (“Study”), the scope, and the estimated budget and timeline of the Company’s recycling facility project. In addition to the delivery of the report, the Company also agreed to grant potential future royalty rights to the investor. In the case where the Company decided to not pursue the future royalty arrangement but OR wishes to proceed, the Company is required to pay a break up fee in the amount of $100,000. In the case where OR does not wish to proceed with the future royalty arrangement but the Company wishes to proceed, the investor is required to render the 47,058 common shares issued to the Company.

 

At inception, the subscription proceeds were recorded as a contract liability in accordance with IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation, as the Company had a contractual obligation to either (i) deliver the Study or (ii) pay the break fee. The arrangement therefore does not meet the definition of an equity instrument until the performance conditions are resolved.

 

The liability was initially recognized at $200,000, measured at amortized cost until contractual obligations are delivered.

15)Warrant liability

 

On 7 August 2021, the Company issued 9,705,696 warrants to investors in a private placement for consideration of gross proceeds of C$173,250 ($137,365), each warrant allowing the holder to purchase one common share at a price of $0.34 (CAD$0.425) (the “Investor Rights Warrants” or “IRW”) for a period of three-years from the date the Company completed an initial public offering (“IPO”). On 26 May 2023, the Company modified the terms of the Investor Rights Warrants, allowing them to automatically convert into common shares upon the closing of an IPO on a cashless basis and based on the IPO share price.

 

On 6 July 2024, the Board of the Company approved further modification, in the event that the Company either (a) completes a financing or series of financings or enters into a royalty streaming agreement to raise aggregate gross proceeds of not less than US$5,000,000 at any time between May 1, 2024 and IPO, or (b) completes an IPO where the market value of the Company is not less than US$100,000,000, then in lieu of each common share the subscriber would have otherwise received, the subscriber shall receive a unit (a “Unit”) consisting of one common share and one additional warrant (an “Underlying Warrant”) to purchase one additional common share (an “Underlying Share”) at a price of $0.085 per share which automatically converts on a cashless basis at the time of IPO.

 

As at 30 September 2025, the fair value of the warrant liability has been determined to be $35,806,604 (31 December 2024 - $nil). The Company recognized a total of $35,806,604 fair value loss on the valuation of warrant liability for the period ended 30 September 2025 (30 September 2024 – gain of $330,791) and the loss has been included in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

 

The warrants were classified as a Level 3 financial instrument. Their fair value was based on an estimated IPO share price of $4.25, a 50% probability of an IPO, and an expected IPO timing of mid-2026. The IPO probability increased from a nominal level at 31 December 2024 due to significant progress in the IPO process by 30 September 2025. As of that date, the Company had engaged a lead selling agent and filed a preliminary offering circular with the Securities and Exchange Commission to issue common shares at $4.25 per share. The warrant liability was discounted from the expected timing of the IPO to 30 September 2025 using a risk-free interest rate of 3.68%.

18)Capital management

 

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to pursue the Company’s objectives. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the business.

 

In the management of capital, the Company includes its components of equity (deficit). The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, issue debt, acquire or adjust the amount of cash and cash equivalents and investments.

 

At this stage of the Company’s development, in order to maximize ongoing development efforts, the Company does not pay out dividends. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. The Company’s capital is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

 

19)Segmented information

 

The Company has one operating segment, which is the refinement of precious metals from electronic waste in the US. The following table provides segmented disclosure on assets and liabilities as reviewed by management regularly by geographical location:

21)Subsequent events

 

The Company has evaluated all events occurring through 2 March 2026, the date on which the financial statements were issued, and during which time, nothing has occurred outside the normal course of business operations that would require disclosure except the following:

 

The Company received additional short-term loans and promises to pay the principal sums of CAD$135,500 ($97,335) and $47,500 at 8% interest compounded annually, payable on demand.

Under the SAFE Agreements, the holders are entitled to receive common shares upon the occurrence of a qualifying equity financing or other liquidity events, including the Company’s Regulation A initial public offering. Upon such event, the SAFE converts into common shares, with the number of shares issued equal to the investment amount divided by a discounted conversion price, calculated as the public offering price per share multiplied by a contractual discount rate of 75%. Until conversion, the SAFE Agreements do not represent issued equity instruments and do not provide voting or ownership rights. The Company had issued $ 2,901,956 under the SAFE Agreements.

Management’s Responsibility

 

To the Shareholders of Modern Mining Technology Corp.:

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements, including responsibility for significant accounting judgments and estimates in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. This responsibility includes selecting appropriate accounting principles and methods, and making decisions affecting the measurement of transactions in which objective judgment is required.

 

In discharging its responsibilities for the integrity and fairness of the Consolidated Financial Statements, management designs and maintains the necessary accounting systems and related internal controls to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are authorized, assets are safeguarded and financial records are properly maintained to provide reliable information for the preparation of financial statements.

 

The Board of Directors and the Audit Committee are composed primarily of Directors who are neither management nor employees of the Company. The Board is responsible for overseeing management in the performance of its financial reporting responsibilities, and for approving the financial information included in the annual report. The Board fulfils these responsibilities by reviewing the financial information prepared by management and discussing relevant matters with management and the external auditors. The Audit Committee has the responsibility of meeting with management, and the external auditors to discuss the internal controls over the financial reporting process, auditing matters and financial reporting issues. The Audit Committee is also responsible for recommending the appointment of Modern Mining Technology Corp.’s external auditors.

 

We draw attention to Note 1 in the Consolidated Financial Statements which indicates the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

MNP LLP, an independent firm of Chartered Professional Accountants, is appointed by the shareholders to audit the Consolidated Financial Statements and report directly to them; their report follows. The external auditors have full and free access to meet periodically and separately with the Board of Directors, Audit Committee, and management to discuss their audit findings.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Modern Mining Technology Corp.
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Modern Mining Technology Corp. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its consolidated operations and its consolidated cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with IFRS® Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

 

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

1)Nature of operations and going concern

 

Modern Mining Technology Corp. (the “Company” or “MMTC”) was incorporated under British Columbia Business Corporations Act on 26 January 2021. The Company’s registered office is held at 1500 – 1055 West Georgia Street, Royal Centre, PO Box 11, Vancouver, BC V6E 4N7, Canada.

 

On 19 August 2021, the Company and Urban Mining International, Inc. (“UMI”) entered into a merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”), providing for the acquisition of all the issued and outstanding common shares of UMI by the Company. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, UMI and Urban Mining Merger Sub, Inc. (a subsidiary of UMI, created for the transaction) amalgamated and continued under the name of UMI. As a result of the Merger Transaction, UMI became a wholly owned subsidiary of MMTC on 1 September 2021. Subsequently, UMI changed its name to Modern Mining Technology Corp. as of 8 December 2021.

 

UMI was incorporated in the State of Delaware, USA on 8 August 2017 for the purpose of refining precious metals from electronic waste. UMI’s principal operating facility is located in Greenville, NC.

 

These consolidated financial statements (the “Financial Statements”) have been prepared on the basis of the accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes the Company will be able to continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. There are several adverse conditions such as the Company has not generated revenue to date and has a net working capital deficiency that cast significant doubt upon the soundness of this assumption. These Financial Statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern, meaning it will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations.

 

Management believes that the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to raise additional capital. There cannot be any assurance that the Company will ever generate revenue or even if it does generate revenue that it will achieve profitable operations. Furthermore, no assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on the Company’s operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for the existing shareholders, in case of equity financing. These factors represent material uncertainties that cast substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

 

These Financial Statements do not give effect to any adjustments which would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and thus be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in these Financial Statements. Any such adjustments could be material.

2)Basis of presentation – Statement of Compliance

 

These Financial Statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). The term “IFRS” is used throughout these Financial Statements to refer collectively to all standards issued by the IASB, including those originally issued as International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) and those issued as International Financial Reporting Standards. The Financial Statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments classified as financial instruments at fair value through profit and loss, which are stated at their fair value.

 

3)Material accounting policy information

 

a)Basis of presentation

 

These Financial Statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and the entity controlled by the Company, which consist of:

 

Modern Mining Technology Corp., which was incorporated on 26 January 2021 in the province of British Columbia, Canada.

 

Modern Mining Technology Corp., (“MMTC Delaware”), formerly known as UMI, which was incorporated on 8 August 2017 in the state of Delaware in the United States, wholly owned by the Company.

 

Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain returns from its activities. The financial activities of the subsidiary are included in these Financial Statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

b)Foreign Currency

 

These Financial Statements are presented in the U.S. dollar (“US$”). The functional currency for the Company is the Canadian dollar. The functional currency of MMTC Delaware is the US$. The functional currency determinations were conducted through an analysis of the consideration factors identified in IAS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates.

 

Items included in the financial statements of each consolidated entity are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “Functional Currency”). Foreign currency transactions are translated into the Functional Currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of the reporting period, monetary assets and liabilities of the Company which are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the period-end exchange rate. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at rates in effect at the date the assets were acquired, and liabilities incurred. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities not denominated in the Functional Currency of an entity are recognized in profit or loss in the year in which the gain or loss arises.

 

Assets and liabilities of operations with a Functional Currency other than the US$ are translated at the reporting period end rates of exchange, and the results of its operations are translated at average rates of exchange for the year. The resulting translation adjustments are recognized in other comprehensive loss. Additionally, foreign exchange gains and losses related to certain intercompany amounts that are neither planned nor likely to be settled in the foreseeable future are included in other comprehensive loss.

except share and per share amounts

 

3)Material accounting policy information (continued)

 

c)Loss per share

 

The Company presents basic and diluted loss per share data for its ordinary shares. Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is determined by adjusting the loss attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares. Instruments which would be anti-dilutive are not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share.

 

d)Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and deposits held with banks.

 

e)Property and equipment and leasehold improvements

 

Property and equipment are initially recorded at cost. As assets are available for use, they are depreciated over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis at the following rates: equipment 3 years; leasehold improvements 3 years based on the lease term. The depreciation method, useful life and residual values are assessed annually.

 

In determining amounts of depreciation, the Company is required to estimates how long the assets will be available for use.

 

f)Leases and right-of-use assets

 

The Company has accounted for leases in accordance with IFRS 16. Contract arrangements are reviewed to determine if the agreement includes identifiable assets that the Company has the right to obtain sustainably all the economic benefits from the use of the asset during the period of use.

 

A right-of-use asset and lease liability are recognized at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date.

 

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the end of the lease term. The right-of-use asset is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability.

 

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate which the Company would have to pay to borrow, over a similar term and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset. The lease liability is subsequently measured by reducing the carrying amount to reflect lease payments made and to reflect any reassessments or modifications. The Company has included the estimated extension of the lease in the lease term in assessing the present value of future lease payments where the exercise of the extension options is reasonably certain.

 

A change in the scope of a lease contract, or the consideration for a lease, that was not part of its original terms and conditions is considered a lease modification. A lease modification is assessed to determine whether it meets the criteria of a separate lease that would require a separate right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability at the effective date of the modification. If the lease modification is not a separate lease, the Company remeasures the lease liability to reflect changes to the lease payments and adjusts the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset.

3)Material accounting policy information (continued)

 

g)Impairment of long-lived assets:

 

At the end of each reporting period the carrying amounts of the Company’ assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets are impaired. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment, if any. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Fair value is determined as the amount that would be obtained from the sale of the asset in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and the impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss for the period. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.

 

Where an impairment subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate and its recoverable amount, but to an amount that does not exceed the carrying amount, net of accumulated depreciation, that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

 

Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortization are tested annually for impairment.

 

h)Financial instruments

 

Financial liabilities

 

Recognition and initial measurement

 

The Company recognizes a financial liability when it becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. At initial recognition, the Company measures financial liabilities at their fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to their issuance, with the exception of financial liabilities subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss for which transaction costs are immediately recorded in profit or loss.

 

Classification and subsequent measurement

 

Financial liabilities are subsequently classified as measured at amortized cost unless they fall into one of the following categories: financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), financial liabilities that arise when a transfer of a financial asset does not qualify for derecognition, financial guarantee contracts, commitments to provide a loan at a below-market interest rate, or contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer in a business combination. Interest, gains and losses relating to a financial liability held at amortized cost are recognized in profit or loss.

3)Material accounting policy information (continued)

 

Derecognition of financial liabilities

 

The Company derecognizes a financial liability only when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired.

 

The financial instruments of the Company are classified as follows:

 

    IFRS 9
  Classification Measurement
Cash and cash equivalents Restricted cash Amortized cost Amortized cost Amortized cost Amortized cost
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities Amortized cost Amortized cost
Loan payable Amortized cost Amortized Cost
Short-term loans Amortized cost Amortized cost
Convertible debenture Amortized cost Amortized cost
Interest payable on convertible debenture Amortized cost Amortized cost
Warrant liability FVTPL Fair Value

 

Convertible debenture

 

Upon initial recognition, the Company determines whether the convertible debenture consists of liability and equity components, or if both components represent liabilities. The Company evaluated the terms and conditions of the contingent settlement provision determined that the instrument does not contain an equity component. The Company also evaluated the terms and conditions of the conversion feature and determined that the conversion feature does not meet the definition of derivative liability, therefore the entire instrument should be treated as financial liabilities. The convertible debenture was initially recorded at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the instrument to their initial carrying amount. See note 13.

 

Warrant liability

 

During the year ended 31 December 2023, the Company amended certain terms of the warrants that were issued during the year ended 31 December 2021, and post amendment, the terms of the warrants enabled the holders to exercise the warrants on a “cashless” basis. This resulted in the shares issuable under the warrants to be variable, thus the instrument does not meet the “fixed-for-fixed” criteria. As a result, the Company reclassified the warrants from equity instrument into financial liabilities during the year ended 31 December 2023. The warrant liability has been recognized at the fair value on the date of the amendment and subsequently measured at FVTPL. Any fair value changes in the fair value of the warrant liability has been recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. See note 14.

 

k)Share capital

 

The Company’s shares and share warrants that are not classified as financial liabilities are classified as equity instruments. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are charged directly to share capital. Proceeds received on the issuance of units, comprised of common shares and warrants are allocated to common shares and warrants based on the relative fair value.

4)Significant accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty

 

The preparation of the Company’s Financial Statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of the Financial Statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual outcomes can differ from these estimates.

 

Management must make significant judgments or assessments as to how financial assets and liabilities are categorized. The following are the critical judgments and areas involving estimates that management have made in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amount recognized in the Financial Statements.

 

a)Significant accounting estimates:

 

Significant assumptions about the future that management has made and about other sources of estimation uncertainty at the financial position reporting date that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities relate to but are not limited to the following:

 

Fair value measurement of warrants and stock options

 

The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date on which they are granted. Estimating fair value for warrants and stock options requires determining the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. Significant estimates include estimating the fair value of the Company’s common shares and the volatility of common shares.

 

b)Significant accounting judgments:

 

Significant judgments about the future that management has made and about other sources of judgment uncertainty at the financial position reporting date that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities relate to but are not limited to:

 

Functional currency: The determination of the functional currency of the Company as the Canadian dollar and it’s subsidiary as the US$.

 

Going concern: The Company’s ability to execute its strategy by funding future working capital requirements requires judgment. Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, such as expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

 

5)New standards, amendments and interpretations not yet adopted

The following amendments to standards and interpretations became effective for the annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024. The application of these amendments and interpretations had no significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. The IASB and the IFRIC have issued the following new and revised standards and interpretations that are not yet effective for the relevant reporting periods and the Company has not early adopted these standards, amendments and interpretations. However, the Company is currently assessing what impact the application of these standards or amendments will have on the consolidated financial statements of the Company. The Company intends to adopt these standards, if applicable, when the standards become effective:

 

-Effective 1 January 2027, the Company will adopt IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements. The new standards replace IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, and for all entities will -

 

Introduce a new defined structure for the statement of profit and loss and require the classification of income and expenses in that statement into one of five categories: operating; investing; financing; income taxes; and discontinued operations. IFRS 18 introduces definitions of these categories for purposes of the statement of profit and loss. Specific categorization requirements will apply to entities whose ‘main business activity’ is to provide financing to customers or to invest in specified assets. Entities will also be required to present new subtotals for ‘operating profit or loss’ and ‘profit or loss before financing and income taxes;

 

F-34

 

 

Modern Mining Technology Corp.

Amounts expressed in United States dollars

except share and per share amounts

 

Require disclosure of ‘management-defined performance measures’ (MPMs) in a single note to the financial statements. MPMs are subtotals of income and expenses that an entity uses in public communications outside of its financial statements, to communicate management’s view of an aspect of the financial performance of the entity as a whole to users. Entities must disclose a reconciliation between the measure and the most directly comparable total or subtotal specifically required to be disclosed by IFRS Accounting Standards or subtotal listed in IFRS 18;

 

Enhance guidance about how to group information within the financial statements; and

 

For the statement of cash flows, require that ‘operating profit or loss’ be used as the starting point for determining cash flows from operating activities under the indirect method, and remove the optionality around classification of cash flows from interests and dividends.

 

IFRS 18 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027, including for interim financial statements. Earlier application is permitted. The new standards is to be applied retrospectively, and, in the year of adoption, a reconciliation is required between how the statement of profit or loss was presented in the comparative period under IAS 1 and how it is presented in the current year under IFRS 18.

 

6)Financial instruments and risk management

 

In common with all other businesses, the Company is exposed to risk that arise from its use of financial instruments. This note describes the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks and the method used to measure them. Further quantitative information in respect to these risks is presented throughout the Financial Statements.

 

Risk management is carried out by the Company’s management team under policies approved by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors also provided regular guidance for overall risk management.

a)Financial instrument classification and measurement

 

Financial instruments of the Company carried on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position are carried at amortized cost, with the exception of warrant liability, classified and held at fair value through profit or loss. There are no significant differences between the carrying value of financial instruments and their estimated fair values as at 31 December 2024 and 2023, due to the immediate or short-term maturities of the financial instruments and their subjectivity to interest rates that are similar to the market interest rates of a similar item with similar security.

 

The Company classifies the fair value of these transactions according to the following hierarchy:

 

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical financial instruments.

 

Level 2 - quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

 

Level 3 - valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

 

The Company’s warrant liability is classified at level 3 with a fair value of $nil as of 31 December 2024 (31 December 2023 - $340,234). See note 14.

 

b)Market risk

 

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices will affect the Company’s earnings or the value of its financial instruments. Market risk is comprised of other price risk, currency risk, and interest rate risk. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control exposures within acceptable limits, while maximizing returns. These market risks are evaluated by monitoring changes in key economic indicators and market information on an on-going basis, adjusting operations and budgets accordingly. The Company is not subject to market risk.

6)Financial instruments and risk management (continued)

 

c)Credit risk

 

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company’s primary exposure to credit risk is on its cash and restricted cash. The Company’s cash and restricted cash are held with major banks in Canada and the United States. Accordingly, the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk.

 

d)Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or manage its obligations associated with financial liabilities. In the management of liquidity risk, the Company maintains a balance between continuity of funding and the flexibility through the use of borrowings. Management closely monitors the liquidity position and expects to have adequate sources of funding to finance the Company’s projects and operations. The Company is dependent on external financing and will be required to raise additional capital in the future to fund its operations (Note 1).

 

As at 31 December 2024, the Company had a cash and cash equivalents balance of $101,823 (31 December 2023 - $25,907) to settle current liabilities of $8,055,698 (31 December 2023 - $2,971,096). So far, the Company is not profitable and has had to rely on the issuance of equity securities for cash, primarily through private placements and from related and other parties. The Company’s access to financing is uncertain. There can be no assurance of continued access to significant equity or debt financing.

 

e)Interest rate risk

 

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk on the variable rate of interest earned on its cash and restricted cash. The cash flow interest rate risk on cash is insignificant since deposits are short term in nature. The Company does not hold any other financial assets or liabilities with variable interest rates that will have significant impact arising from interest rate risk. The fair value interest rate risk on the Company’s other assets and liabilities are deemed to be insignificant.

 

The Company has not entered into any derivative instruments to manage interest rate fluctuations, thus, the Company is not subject to interest rate risk.

 

f)Foreign currency risk

 

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates.

 

The Company’s certain operating expenses and acquisition costs are denominated in US$ and incurred by MMTC Delaware, and a large portion of the expenses of the Company are in Canadian dollars. The Company’s corporate office is based in Canada, and the exposure to exchange rate fluctuations arises mainly on foreign currencies, which are the US$.

 

The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk. The Company has not entered into any derivative instruments to manage foreign exchange fluctuations; however, management monitors foreign exchange exposure, and if rates continue to fall, management will look at entering into derivative contracts. Should the US dollar and Canadian dollar exchange rate have changed by 5% at the period end, the impact to profit or loss would be +/- $118,085.

13)Convertible debenture and interest payable

 

In April 2022, MMTC arranged for an offering of unsecured convertible debentures (“Debentures”) in an aggregate principal amount of $3,331,390. The Debentures bear interest at five percent (5%) per annum and are unsecured obligations of the Company. The Debentures are due thirty-six months following their issuance (i.e. 7 April 2025, see Subsequent event note 22). The Debentures also provide that in the event the Company completes a U.S. Listing (i.e., the offering), the principal amount of the Debentures plus any accrued unpaid interest will automatically convert into Common Shares at a conversion price equal to the lessor of (A) a 40% discount to the price of the offering, and (B) $5.00, and shall be subject to a six (6) month hold period from the completion of the offering. Should the Company complete a Canadian Listing (i.e., the offering), the principal amount of the Debentures plus any accrued unpaid interest will automatically convert into Units, comprised of one common share and one-half warrant at a conversion price equal to the lessor of a 20% discount to the price of the offering price. Each whole warrant shall be exercisable at a price equal to a 218% premium to the offering price for a period of 24 months from the date of the Canadian Listing.

 

The Company evaluated the terms and conditions of the contingent settlement provision and determined that the entire instrument would be treated as a financial liability at amortised cost as there is no unconditional right to avoid delivering cash or another financial asset. The transaction price was determined to be the fair value of the convertible debt. The Company incurred $156,994 in finder’s fees and $26,701 in legal fees which were deducted from the principal value of the convertible debt. Interest is accrued at the rate of 5% per annum (based on a year of 360 days comprised of twelve 30-day months), payable only on the maturity date of the Debentures. During the year ended 31 December 2024, the Company recorded $167,047 (31 December 2023 - $174,794) in interest which was recorded as interest expense in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. The Debentures are being amortized over the life of the debenture using the effective interest rate of 7.04%. Accretion for the year ended 31 December 2024 was $64,547 (31 December 2023 - $61,187).

 

During the year ended 31 December 2024, MMTC arranged for an offering of unsecured convertible debentures (“2024 Debentures”) in an aggregate principal amount of $92,300. The 2024 Debentures bears interest at five percent (5%) per annum and are unsecured obligations of the Company. The 2024 Debentures are due thirty-six months following their issuance (i.e. July 28, 2027). The 2024 Debentures also provide that in the event that the Company completes a go-public transaction in any recognized stock exchange, the principal amount and all accrued and unpaid interest will automatically convert into Common Shares at a conversion price equal to the lessor of (A) a 40% discount to the price of the offering and (B) $5.00 and shall be subject to a six (6) month hold period from the completion of the offering.

 

The Company incurred $nil in finder’s fees. Interest is accrued at the rate of 5% per annum (based on a year of 360 days comprised of twelve 30-day months), payable only on the maturity date of the Debentures. During the year ended 31 December 2024, the Company recorded $2,346 (31 December 2023 - $nil) in interest which was recorded as interest expense in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. The Debentures are being amortized over the life of the debenture using the effective interest rate of 5%. Accretion for the year ended 31 December 2024 was $nil (31 December 2023 - $nil).

14)Warrant liability

 

On 7 August 2021, the Company issued 9,705,696 warrants to investors in a private placement for consideration of gross proceeds of C$173,250 ($137,365), each warrant allowing the holder to purchase one common share at a price of $0.34 (CAD$0.425) (the “Investor Rights Warrants” or “IRW”) for a period of three-years from the date the Company completed an initial public offering (“IPO”). On 26 May 2023, the Company modified the terms of the Investor Rights Warrants, allowing them to automatically convert into common shares upon the closing of an IPO on a cashless basis and based on the IPO share price.

 

On the date of modification, the Investor Rights Warrants were reclassified as derivative financial liability in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. The fair value of the warrants on the date of modification was determined to be $147,342 using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The difference between fair value of the Investor Rights Warrants on the date of initial issuance and the date of modification totalling $9,977 was recognized directly as a charge to accumulated deficit. As of 31 December 2023, the warrants were remeasured at $340,234 resulting in a change in fair value of warrants totalling $186,508 recognized in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss for the year ended 31 December 2023.

 

On 6 July 2024, the Board of the Company approved further modification, in the event that the Company either (a) completes a financing or series of financings or enters into a royalty streaming agreement to raise aggregate gross proceeds of not less than US$5,000,000 at any time between May 1, 2024 and IPO, or (b) completes an IPO where the market value of the Company is not less than US$100,000,000, then in lieu of each common share the subscriber would have otherwise received, the subscriber shall receive a unit (a “Unit”) consisting of one common share and one additional warrant (an “Underlying Warrant”) to purchase one additional common share (an “Underlying Share”) at a price of $0.085 per share for a period of 36 months from the date of the IPO.

 

On the date of modification, and as at 31 December 31, 2024, the Company assessed that the modification of the IRW does not have an impact on the classification of the IRW. As at 31 December 2024, the Company estimated the share price that is used in the valuation of the warrant liability to have a nominal value given that the Company has postponed its public listing, is operating with negative net working capital, has significant negative shareholders’ equity and has not secured recent equity financing. As a result, as at 31 December 2024, the fair value of the warrant liability has been determined to be $nil (31 December 2023 - $340,234). The Company recognized a total of $328,512 fair value gain on the valuation of warrant liability for the year ended 31 December 2024 (31 December 2023 – loss of $186,508) and the gain (loss) has been included in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

These transactions were in the normal course of operations, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the related parties.

 

There is an investor and consultant who is considered as a related party to the Company due to his significant voting rights through his common share ownership, IRW ownership and the short-term loans outstanding. These facts resulted in the investor and consultant having significant influence over the Company. As at 31 December 2024, the Company had a total of $452,213 of short-term loans (inclusive of interest payable) (31 December 2023 - $132,569) balance owing to this investor and consultant. The terms of the short-term loans are payable on demand and bear interest at 8% per annum, compounded annually.

As at 31 December 2024, this investor and consultant owned a total of 1,058,805 of IRW of the Company (31 December 2023 – 1,058,805).

 

17)Capital management

 

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to pursue the Company’s objectives. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the business.

 

In the management of capital, the Company includes its components of equity (deficit). The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, issue debt, acquire or adjust the amount of cash and cash equivalents and investments.

 

At this stage of the Company’s development, in order to maximize ongoing development efforts, the Company does not pay out dividends. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. The Company’s capital is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

Exhibit 1.2

 

MODERN MINING TECHNOLOGY CORP.

 

UP TO 7,058,823 COMMON SHARES

 

SELLING AGENCY AGREEMENT

 

_______ __, 20__

 

Digital Offering, LLC
1461 Glenneyre Street, Suite D
Laguna Beach, CA 92651 

 

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

Modern Mining technology Corp., a company organized under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada (the “Company”), proposes, subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Selling Agency Agreement (this “Agreement”), to issue and sell up to a maximum of 7,058,823 common shares, without par value (the “Common Shares”), to investors (each, an “Investor,” and, collectively, the “Investors”), at a purchase price of $4.25 per share (the “Purchase Price”), in an offering (the “Offering”) exempt from registration pursuant to Tier II of Regulation A (“Regulation A”) as promulgated under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and the other applicable rules, orders and regulations of the Commission (collectively referred to as the “Rules and Regulations”) and under the various state securities laws through Digital Offering LLC (the “Selling Agent”), acting on a best efforts basis only, in connection with such sales. The Comon Shares to be sold in this offering are referred to herein as the “Shares.” The Shares are more fully described in the Offering Statement (as hereinafter defined).

 

The Company hereby confirms its agreement with the Selling Agent concerning the offering, purchase, and sale of the Shares as follows:

 

1. Agreement to Act as Selling Agent.

 

(a) Best Efforts Basis. On the basis of the representations, warranties, and agreements of the Company herein contained and subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Selling Agent agrees to act on a best efforts basis only in connection with the issuance and sale by the Company of the Shares to the Investors. Under no circumstances will the Selling Agent be obligated to underwrite or purchase any of the Shares for its own account or otherwise provide any financing.

 

(b) Selling Agent’s Commissions. The Company will pay to the Selling Agent a cash commission equal to 7.0% of the gross offering proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the Shares (the “Cash Fee”), which shall be allocated by the Selling Agent to Dealers (as hereinafter defined) participating in the Offering, in its sole discretion (subject to Section 1(c)).

 

(c) Selling Agent’s Warrants. The Company hereby agrees to issue to the Selling Agent (and/or its designees) a warrant to purchase a number of Common Shares equal to 2.50% of the total number of Shares sold in the Offering on the Closing Date for the Shares (“Selling Agent’s Warrant”). The Selling Agent’s Warrant agreement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Selling Agent’s Warrant Agreement”), shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, commencing on the date of issuance and expiring on the five-year anniversary of the date of commencement of sales in the Offering, at an initial exercise price of $5.3125 per share, which is equal to 125% of the Purchase Price of the Shares. The Selling Agent’s Warrant shall not be redeemable. The Selling Agent’s Warrant and the Common Shares underlying the Selling Agent’s Warrant have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a 180-day lock-up pursuant to Rule 5110(e)(1) of FINRA. The Selling Agent, or permitted assignees under such rule, may not exercise, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or hypothecate the Selling Agent’s Warrants or the Common Shares underlying the Selling Agent’s Warrants (such shares, the “Warrant Shares”), nor will the Selling Agent or permitted assignees engage in any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the Selling Agent’s Warrants or the underlying shares for a period of 180 days from commencement of sales in the Offering, except that they may be transferred, in whole or in part, by operation of law or by reason of our reorganization, or to any selected dealer participating in the offering and their officers, partners or registered representatives if the Selling Agent’s Warrant or the Warrant Shares so transferred remain subject to the foregoing lock-up restrictions for the remainder of the time period. The Selling Agent’s Warrant will provide for adjustment in the number and price of such warrants (and the Common Shares underlying such warrants) to prevent dilution in the event of a stock dividend, stock split or other reclassification of the Common Shares and certain registration rights

 

 

 

 

(d) Selected Dealer Agreements. The Selling Agent shall have the right to enter into selected dealer agreements (collectively, the “Selected Dealer Agreements” and each, a “Selected Dealer Agreement”), with other broker-dealers that are members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”), in each case after good faith consultation with the Company regarding such proposed dealer (each dealer being referred to herein as a “Dealer,” and said dealers being collectively referred to herein as the “Dealers”). The Cash Fee shall otherwise be re-allowable, in whole or in part, to the Dealers. The Company will not be liable or responsible for direct payment of compensation to any Dealer, it being the sole and exclusive responsibility of the Selling Agent.

 

2.Delivery and Payment.

 

(a) On or after the date of this Agreement, the Company, the Selling Agent and Enterprise Bank & Trust (the “Escrow Agent”) will enter into an Escrow Agreement substantially in the form included as an exhibit to the Offering Statement (the “Escrow Agreement”), pursuant to which an escrow account will be established, at the Company’s expense, for Investors that participate in the Offering (the “Escrow Account”).

 

(b) Prior to the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined) of the Offering: (i) each applicable Investor will execute and deliver to the Company, pursuant to the instructions provided in the Offering Statement, and the Company will make available to the Selling Agent and the Escrow Agent copies of, a subscription agreement substantially in the forms included as an exhibit to the Offering Statement (each, a “Subscription Agreement”); (ii) each Investor will transfer to the Escrow Account funds in an amount equal to the Purchase Price per Share as shown on the cover page of the Final Offering Circular (as hereinafter defined) multiplied by the number of Shares subscribed by such Investor; (iii) subscription funds received from any Investor will be promptly transmitted to the Escrow Account in compliance with Rule 15c2-4 of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and (iv) the Escrow Agent will notify the Company and the Selling Agent in writing as to the balance of the collected funds in the Escrow Account.

 

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing Section 2(b), Investors that maintain an account with a participating Dealer may subscribe for Shares pursuant to the procedures in Section 2(b) without depositing funds with the Escrow Agent; provided that each such Investor maintains sufficient funds in their account with such participating Dealer. At the Closing (as hereinafter defined), any amounts subscribed for and Shares delivered will be settled broker-to-broker and credited to the Company’s account.

 

(d) If the Escrow Agent shall have received written notice from the Company and the Selling Agent on or before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on any date on or before [*], 20[*], or at such other time on such other date thereafter as may be agreed upon by the Company and the Selling Agent (such date, the “Closing Date”), the Escrow Agent will release the balance of the Escrow Account for collection by the Company and the Selling Agent as provided in the Escrow Agreement. and the Company shall deliver the Shares purchased by the Investors to the Investors on the Closing Date, which delivery may be made through the facilities of the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or via book entry with the Company’s securities registrar and transfer agent, Equity Stock Transfer, LLC (the “Transfer Agent”). The closing of the Offering (the “Closing”) shall take place at the office of the Selling Agent or such other location as the Selling Agent and the Company shall mutually agree. All actions taken at the Closing shall be deemed to have occurred simultaneously on the Closing Date.

(e) The Company reserves the right in its sole discretion to reject any Subscription Agreement in whole or in part. It is understood that no sale of Shares shall be regarded as effective unless and until accepted by the Company. If the Company, in its sole discretion, determines that the Offering will not proceed with respect to one or more Investors, then the Escrow Agent will promptly return the funds to such Investors without interest.

The indemnification obligations under this Section 9(a) are not exclusive and will be in addition to any liability that the Company might otherwise have and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available at law or in equity to each Selling Agent Indemnified Party.

 

(b) The Selling Agent will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company, its directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each a “Company Indemnified Party”) to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in Section 9(a) above, insofar as such losses, claims, liabilities, expenses, and damages (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Offering Statement or the Final Offering Circular or any amendment or supplement thereto necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Offering Statement or the Final Offering Circular or any amendment or supplement thereto a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Offering Statement or the Final Offering Circular or any amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Selling Agent Indemnified Party through the Selling Agent expressly for use therein; and will reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred. The Company acknowledges that, for all purposes under this Agreement, the statements set forth in the paragraphs under the caption “Plan of Distribution” in the Offering Statement and the Final Offering Circular constitute the only information relating to the Selling Agent Indemnified Parties furnished in writing to the Company by the Selling Agent expressly for inclusion in the Offering Statement, any Preliminary Offering Circular, or the Final Offering Circular. In no event shall the Selling Agent indemnify the Company for any amounts in excess of the fees actually received by the Selling Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (which fees shall be deemed to include any portion of the Cash Fee provided to Dealers).

 

16

 

 

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 9(a) or 9(b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; provided that the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under such Section. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such Section for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable and documented costs of investigation. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned). No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise, or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability, or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

 

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 9(a) or 9(b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Selling Agent and the Dealers, on the other hand, from the offering of the Shares. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under Section 9(c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Selling Agent and the Dealers, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Selling Agent and the Dealers, on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the Offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bears to the Cash Fee and other amounts received by the Selling Agent (inclusive of any amount of the Cash Fee or other amounts paid to the Dealers). The relative fault shall be determined, to the extent applicable, by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, on the one hand, or the Selling Agent or Dealers, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Selling Agent agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this this Section 9(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this this Section 9(d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this this Section 9(d), the Selling Agent will not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amounts received by the Selling Agent pursuant to this Agreement (inclusive of any amount of the Cash Fee or other amounts paid to the Dealers). No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

17

 

 

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the applicable indemnifying party shall not be obligated to indemnify any indemnified party to the extent that any liabilities, claims, causes of action, losses, damages, penalties, fines, expenses, or damages were a result of fraud, willful misconduct, or bad faith of the indemnified party (in each case as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment).

 

10. Termination.

 

(a) The obligations of the Selling Agent under this Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing Date, by notice to the Company from the Selling Agent, without liability on the part of the Selling Agent to the Company if, prior to delivery and payment for the Shares, in the sole judgment of the Selling Agent: (i) Material Adverse Effect in the securities markets or any event, act or occurrence that has materially disrupted, or in the opinion of the Selling Agent, will in the immediate future materially disrupt, the securities markets or there shall be such a Material Adverse Effect in general financial, political or economic conditions or the effect of international conditions on the financial markets in the United States is such as to make it, in the reasonable judgment of the Selling Agent, inadvisable or impracticable to market the Shares or enforce contracts for the sale of the Shares; (ii) there has occurred any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial, or economic conditions, including, without limitation, as a result of terrorist activities, such as to make it, in the reasonable judgment of the Selling Agent, inadvisable or impracticable to market the Shares or enforce contracts for the sale of the Shares; (iii) trading generally on NYSE has been suspended or materially limited by NYSE or by order of the Commission, FINRA, or any other applicable governmental or regulatory authority; or (iv) a general banking moratorium has been declared by U.S. federal or New York State authorities.

 

(b) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 10, such termination shall be without the liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 7 hereof.

 

11. Notices. Notice given pursuant to any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing and, unless otherwise specified, shall be mailed or delivered or transmitted and confirmed by any standard form of telecommunication (a) if to the Company, at Modern Mining Technology Corp., 1055 West Georgia Street, 1500 Royal Centre, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 4N7, Canada, Attention: Chief Executive Officer, with copies to, McMillan LLP, 1055 West Georgia Street, 1500 Royal Centre, P.O.

THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT for value received, Digital Offering, LLC of 1461 Glenneyre Street #D, Laguna Beach, California 92651 (“Digital Offering” or, the “Warrantholder”) has the right to purchase in respect of each warrant (the “Warrants”) represented by this certificate or by a replacement certificate (in either case this “Warrant Certificate”), at any time or from time to time beginning [*], 202_ (the “Effective Date”), and up to 5:00 p.m. (Pacific time) on [*], 2031 (the “Expiry Time”), one fully paid and non-assessable common share with no par value (each, a “Common Share”) of Modern Mining Technology Corp. (the “Corporation”), a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, as constituted on the date hereof, at an exercise purchase price (the purchase price in effect from time to time being called the “Exercise Price”) of US$5.3125 per Common Share if exercised on or before the Expiry Time, subject to adjustment as provided herein.

 

 

 

 

The Corporation agrees that the Common Shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of the Warrants shall be and be deemed to be issued to the Warrantholder as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant Certificate shall have been surrendered and payment made for such Common Shares as aforesaid.

 

Nothing contained herein shall confer any right upon the Warrantholder to subscribe for or purchase any Common Shares at any time after the Expiry Time and from and after the Expiry Time the Warrants and all rights under this Warrant Certificate shall be void and of no value.

 

The above provisions are subject to the following:

In the event that the Warrantholder desires to exercise the right to purchase Common Shares conferred hereby, the Warrantholder shall (a) surrender this Warrant Certificate to the Corporation in accordance with section 9 hereof, (b) complete and execute a notice of exercise substantially in the form attached as Schedule A to this Warrant Certificate (the “Exercise Notice”), and (c) pay the amount payable on the exercise of this Warrant in respect of the Common Shares subscribed for either by bank draft or certified cheque payable to the Corporation. Upon such surrender and payment as aforesaid, the Warrantholder shall be deemed for all purposes to be the holder of record of the number of Common Shares to be so issued and the Warrantholder shall be entitled to delivery of a certificate or certificates representing such Common Shares and the Corporation shall cause such certificate or certificates to be delivered to the Warrantholder at the address specified in the subscription form within five (5) business days after such surrender and payment as aforesaid. No fractional Common Shares will be issuable upon any exercise of this Warrant and the Warrantholder will not be entitled to any cash payment or compensation in lieu of a fractional Common Share.

 

1.2 Cashless Exercise. In the event that there is not a qualified offering statement or effective registration statement covering the Warrant or the underlying Common Shares and Warrantholder desires to exercise the right to purchase Common Shares conferred hereby through a cashless exercise, and subject to the approval (if required) of any stock exchange on which the Common Shares may then be listed, the Warrantholder shall (a) surrender this Warrant Certificate to the Corporation in accordance with section 9 hereof, and (b) complete and execute the Exercise Notice to denote a “cashless exercise.” Upon such surrender as aforesaid, the Warrantholder shall be deemed for all purposes to be the holder of record of the number of Common Shares as calculated in accordance with the table below, which Common Shares will be deemed issued upon exercise and the Warrantholder shall be entitled to delivery of a certificate or certificates representing such Common Shares and the Corporation shall cause such certificate or certificates to be delivered to the Warrantholder at the address specified in the subscription form within five (5) business days after such surrender and payment as aforesaid.

CASHLESS EXERCISE

 

If this Warrant is exercised through a “cashless exercise,” the Corporation shall issue to the undersigned the net number of Common Shares determined as follows:

 

 

where:

 

a = the net Common Shares to be issued to the undersigned;

 

b = the number of Common Shares in respect of which the Warrant is being exercised;

 

c = the Current Market Price; and

 

d = the Exercise Price of this Warrant.

 

For purposes hereof, “Current Market Price” has the meaning set forth in Section 5.1(b).

Upon written request by Digital Offering provided no earlier than the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the Commencement Date, the Corporation and Digital Offering shall negotiate in good faith a single demand registration right pursuant to an agreement in customary form reasonably acceptable to the Corporation and Digital Offering with respect to the resale by Digital Offering and/or its permitted assigns of this Warrant Certificate and/or the underlying Common Shares; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the obligations of the Corporation pursuant to this Section 1.3 shall terminate at the Expiry Time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8)(B) and (C), Holder shall not be entitled to more than one demand registration right hereunder and the duration of such demand registration right shall expire at the Expiry Time.

1.4 PiggyBack Offering Rights

 

(a)Grant of Right. In the event that there is not an qualified offering statement covering the Warrant or the underlying Common Shares, whenever the Corporation proposes to register or qualify any of its Common Shares under the Act after the date hereof (other than (i) a registration effected solely to implement an employee benefit plan or a transaction to which Rule 145 of the Act is applicable, or (ii) a registration or offering statement on Form S-4, S-8 or any successor form thereto or another form not available for registering the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate for sale to the public, whether for its own account or for the account of one or more shareholders of the Corporation (a “Piggyback Offering”), the Corporation shall give prompt written notice (in any event no later than ten (10) business days prior to the filing of such registration or offering statement ) to Warrantholder of the Corporation’s intention to effect such a registration or qualification and, subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 1.4, shall include in such registration or qualification such number of Common Shares underlying this Warrant Certificate (the “Registrable Securities”) that Warrantholder and any other holder of this duly transferred Warrant Certificate pursuant to Section 11 or other holders of interests in or represented by this Warrant Certificate as otherwise permitted by this Warrant Certificate (collectively, the “Warrantholders”) have (within ten (10) business days of the respective Warrantholder’s receipt of such notice) requested in writing (including such number) to be included within such registration or qualification. If a Piggyback Offering is an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter advises the Corporation that it has determined in good faith that marketing factors require a limit on the number of Common Shares to be included in such registration, including all Common Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate (if the Warrantholder has elected to include such shares in such Piggyback Offering) and all other Common Shares proposed to be included in such underwritten offering, the Corporation shall include in such registration or qualification (i) first, the number of Common Shares that the Corporation proposes to issue and sell pursuant to such underwritten offering and (ii) second, the number of Common Shares, if any, requested to be included therein by selling shareholders (including Warrantholder) allocated pro rata among all such persons on the basis of the number of Common Shares then owned by each such person. If any Piggyback Offering is initiated as a primary underwritten offering on behalf of the Corporation, the Corporation shall select the investment banking firm or firms to act as the managing underwriter or underwriters in connection with such offering. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the obligations of the Corporation pursuant to this Section 1.4 shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date and (ii) the date that Rule 144 would allow the Warrantholder to sell its Registrable Securities (assuming a cashless exercise of this Warrant) during any ninety (90) day period, and shall not be applicable so long as the Corporation’s Offering Statement on Form 1-A covering the Registrable Securities remains qualified at such time. The duration of the Piggyback Offering right shall not exceed seven years from the commencement of sales of the public offering.

 

(b)Indemnification. The Corporation shall indemnify the Warrantholder(s) of the Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to any registration or offering statement hereunder and each person, if any, who controls such Warrantholders within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), against all loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and other out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any claim whatsoever) to which any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, arising from such registration or offering statement but only to the same extent and with the same effect as the provisions pursuant to which the Corporation has agreed to indemnify Digital Offering contained in the Selling Agency Agreement between Digital Offering and the Corporation, dated as of [*], 2026. Warrantholder(s) of the Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to such registration or offering statement, and their successors and assigns, shall severally, and not jointly, indemnify the Corporation, against all loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any claim whatsoever) to which they may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, arising from information furnished by or on behalf of such Warrantholders, or their successors or assigns, in writing, for specific inclusion in such registration or offering statement to the same extent and with the same effect as the provisions contained in the Selling Agency Agreement pursuant to which Digital Offering has agreed to indemnify the Corporation.

 

4

 

 

(c)Exercise of Warrants. Nothing contained in this Warrant Certificate shall be construed as requiring the Warrantholder(s) to exercise their Warrants prior to or after the initial filing of any registration or offering statement or the effectiveness or qualification thereof.

 

(d)Documents Delivered to Warrantholders. Subject to compliance with applicable law, the Corporation shall deliver promptly to each Warrantholder participating in the offering requesting the correspondence and memoranda described below, copies of all correspondence between the Commission and the Corporation, its counsel or auditors and all memoranda relating to discussions with the Commission or its staff with respect to the registration or offering statement and permit each Warrantholder and underwriter to do such investigation, upon reasonable advance notice, with respect to information contained in or omitted from the registration or offering statement as it deems reasonably necessary to comply with applicable securities laws or rules of FINRA. Such investigation shall include access to books, records and properties and opportunities to discuss the business of the Corporation with its officers and independent auditors, all to such reasonable extent and at such reasonable times, during normal business hours, as any such Warrantholder shall reasonably request.

 

(e)Underwriting Agreement. The Warrantholders shall be parties to any Underwriting Agreement relating to a Piggyback Offering. Such Holders shall not be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements with the Corporation or the underwriters except as they may relate to such Warrantholders, their Common Shares and the amount and nature of their ownership thereof and their intended methods of distribution.

 

(f)Documents to be Delivered by Warrantholder(s). Each of the Warrantholder(s) participating in any of the foregoing offerings shall furnish to the Corporation a completed and executed questionnaire provided by the Corporation requesting information customarily sought of selling security holders.

 

(g)Remedies. Should the Corporation fail to comply with such provisions, the Warrantholder(s) shall, in addition to any other legal or other relief available to the Warrantholder(s), be entitled to obtain specific performance or other equitable (including injunctive) relief against the threatened breach of such provisions or the continuation of any such breach, without the necessity of proving actual damages and without the necessity of posting bond or other security.

 

2. New Warrants to be Issued

 

(a)Partial Exercise. The Warrantholder may from time to time subscribe for and purchase any lesser number of Common Shares than the number of Common Shares expressed in this Warrant Certificate. In the event that the Warrantholder subscribes for and purchases any such lesser number of Common Shares prior to the Expiry Time, the Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive a replacement certificate representing the unexercised balance of the Warrants.

 

(b)Lost Certificate. Upon receipt by the Corporation of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant Certificate and of reasonably satisfactory indemnification or the posting of a bond, determined in the sole discretion of the Corporation, the Corporation shall execute and deliver a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor and date. Any such new Warrant Certificate executed and delivered as a result of such loss, theft, mutilation or destruction shall constitute a substitute contractual obligation on the part of the Corporation.

 

3. Not a Shareholder

 

3.1 The holding of the Warrants shall not constitute the Warrantholder a shareholder of the Corporation nor entitle the Warrantholder to any right or interest in respect thereof except as expressly provided in this Warrant Certificate.

 

5

 

 

4. Covenants and Representations

 

4.1 The Corporation hereby represents and warrants that it is authorized to issue and that it will cause the Common Shares from time to time subscribed for and purchased in the manner provided in this Warrant Certificate and the certificate representing such Common Shares to be issued and that, at all times prior to the Expiry Time, it will reserve and there will remain unissued a sufficient number of Common Shares to satisfy the right of purchase provided in this Warrant Certificate. All Common Shares which are issued upon the exercise of the right of purchase provided in this Warrant Certificate, upon payment therefor of the amount at which such Common Shares may be purchased pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant Certificate, shall be and be deemed to be fully paid and non-assessable shares and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof. The Corporation hereby represents and warrants that this Warrant Certificate is a valid and enforceable obligation of the Corporation, enforceable in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant Certificate. The Corporation hereby represents and warrants that it will at all times prior to the Expiry Time of any Warrants hereunder maintain its existence, will carry on and conduct its business in a prudent manner in accordance with industry standards and good business practice, and will keep or cause to be kept proper books of account in accordance with applicable law.

5.2 Adjustments: The Exercise Price and the number of Common Shares issuable to the Warrantholder pursuant to this Warrant Certificate shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in the events and in the manner provided as follows:

 

(a)If at any time during the Adjustment Period the Corporation shall:

 

(i)fix a record date for the issue of, or issue, Common Shares to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares by way of a stock dividend;

 

6

 

 

(ii)fix a record date for the distribution to, or make a distribution to, the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares payable in Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares;

 

(iii)subdivide the outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of Common Shares; or

 

(iv)consolidate the outstanding Common Shares into a lesser number of Common Shares;

 

(any of such events in subclauses 5.2(a)(i), 5.2(a)(ii), 5.2(a)(iii) and 5.2(a)(iv) above being herein called a “Share Reorganization”), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted on the earlier of the record date on which holders of Common Shares are determined for the purposes of the Share Reorganization and the effective date of the Share Reorganization to the amount determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such record date or effective date, as the case may be, by a fraction:

 

(A)the numerator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date or effective date, as the case may be, before giving effect to such Share Reorganization; and

 

(B)the denominator of which shall be the number of Common Shares which will be outstanding immediately after giving effect to such Share Reorganization (including in the case of a distribution of securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares the number of Common Shares that would have been outstanding had such securities been exchanged for or converted into Common Shares on such date).

 

To the extent that any adjustment in the Exercise Price occurs pursuant to this clause 5.2(a) as a result of the fixing by the Corporation of a record date for the distribution of securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares, the Exercise Price shall be readjusted immediately after the expiry of any relevant exchange or conversion right to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect based upon the number of Common Shares actually issued and remaining issuable after such expiry and shall be further readjusted in such manner upon the expiry of any further such right. If the Warrantholder has not exercised its right to subscribe for and purchase Common Shares on or prior to the record date of such stock dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision or consolidation, as the case may be, upon the exercise of such right thereafter shall be entitled to receive and shall accept in lieu of the number of Common Shares then subscribed for and purchased by the Warrantholder, at the Exercise Price determined in accordance with this clause 5.2(a) the aggregate number of Common Shares that the Warrantholder would have been entitled to receive as a result of such Share Reorganization, if, on such record date or effective date, as the case may be, the Warrantholder had been the holder of record of the number of Common Shares so subscribed for and purchased.

 

7

 

 

(b)If at any time during the Adjustment Period the Corporation shall fix a record date for the issue or distribution to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares of rights, options or warrants pursuant to which such holders are entitled, during a period expiring not more than 45 days after the record date for such issue (such period being the “Rights Period”), to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares at a price per share to the holder (or in the case of securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares, at an exchange or conversion price per share) at the date of issue of such securities of less than 95% of the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date (any of such events being called a “Rights Offering”), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted effective immediately after the record date for such Rights Offering to the amount determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect on such record date by a fraction:

 

(i)the numerator of which shall be the aggregate of:

 

(A)the number of Common Shares outstanding on the record date for the Rights Offering; and

 

(B)the quotient determined by dividing:

 

(I)either (a) the product of the number of Common Shares offered during the Rights Period pursuant to the Rights Offering and the price at which such Common Shares are offered, or, (b) the product of the exchange, exercise or conversion price of the securities so offered and the number of Common Shares for or into which the securities offered pursuant to the Rights Offering may be exchanged, exercised or converted, as the case may be; by

 

(II)the Current Market Price of the Common Shares as of the record date for the Rights Offering; and

 

(ii)the denominator of which shall be the aggregate of the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date and the number of Common Shares offered pursuant to the Rights Offering (including in the case of the issue or distribution of securities exchangeable or exercisable for or convertible into Common Shares the number of Common Shares into which such securities may be exchanged, exercised or converted).

 

If by the terms of the rights, options, or warrants referred to in this clause 5.2(b), there is more than one purchase, conversion or exchange price per Common Share, the aggregate price of the total number of additional Common Shares offered for subscription or purchase, or the aggregate conversion or exchange price of the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered, shall be calculated for purposes of the adjustment on the basis of the lowest purchase, conversion or exchange price per Common Share, as the case may be. Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Corporation shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such calculation. To the extent that any adjustment in the Exercise Price occurs pursuant to this clause 5.2(b) as a result of the fixing by the Corporation of a record date for the issue or distribution of rights, options or warrants referred to in this clause 5.2(b), the Exercise Price shall be readjusted immediately after the expiry of any relevant exchange, conversion or exercise right to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect based upon the number of Common Shares actually issued and remaining issuable after such expiry and shall be further readjusted in such manner upon the expiry of any further such right.

 

8

 

 

(c)If at any time during the Adjustment Period the Corporation shall fix a record date for the issue or distribution to the holders of all or substantially all of the Common Shares of:

 

(i)shares of the Corporation of any class other than Common Shares;

 

(ii)rights, options or warrants to acquire Common Shares or securities exchangeable or exercisable for or convertible into Common Shares (other than rights, options or warrants pursuant to which holders of Common Shares are entitled, during a period expiring not more than 45 days after the record date for such issue, to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares at a price per share (or in the case of securities exchangeable or exercisable for or convertible into Common Shares at an exchange, exercise or conversion price per share on the record date for the issue of such securities) of at least 95% of the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date);

 

(iii)evidences of indebtedness of the Corporation; or

 

(iv)any property or assets of the Corporation;

 

and if such issue or distribution does not constitute a Share Reorganization or a Rights Offering (any of such non-excluded events being herein called a “Special Distribution”), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted effective immediately after the record date for the Special Distribution to the amount determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect on the record date for the Special Distribution by a fraction:

 

(A)the numerator of which shall be the difference between:

 

(I)the product of the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date and the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date; and

 

(II)the fair value, as determined by a recognized independent firm of valuators, to the holders of Common Shares of the shares, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or property or assets to be issued or distributed in the Special Distribution; and

 

(B)the denominator of which shall be the product obtained by multiplying the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date by the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date.

 

Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Corporation shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of such calculation. To the extent that any adjustment in the Exercise Price occurs pursuant to this clause 5.2(c) as a result of the fixing by the Corporation of a record date for the issue or distribution of rights, options or warrants to acquire Common Shares or securities exchangeable or exercisable for or convertible into Common Shares referred to in this clause 5.2(c), the Exercise Price shall be readjusted immediately after the expiry of any relevant exchange, exercise or conversion right to the amount which would then be in effect if the current market value of the Common Shares had been determined on the basis of the number of Common Shares issued and remaining issuable immediately after such expiry, and shall be further readjusted in such manner upon the expiry of any further such right.

 

9

 

 

(d)If at any time during the Adjustment Period there shall occur:

 

(i)a reclassification or redesignation of the Common Shares, any change of the Common Shares into other shares or securities or any other capital reorganization involving the Common Shares other than a Share Reorganization;

 

(ii)a consolidation, amalgamation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other body corporate which results in a reclassification or redesignation of the Common Shares or a change of the Common Shares into other shares or securities; or

 

(iii)the transfer of the undertaking or assets of the Corporation as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to another corporation or entity;

 

(any of such events being herein called a “Capital Reorganization”), after the effective date of the Capital Reorganization:

 

(iv)the Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive, and shall accept, for the same aggregate consideration, upon exercise of this Warrant, in lieu of the number of Common Shares which the Warrantholder was theretofore entitled to purchase or receive upon the exercise of this Warrant, the kind and aggregate number of shares and other securities or property resulting from the Capital Reorganization which the Warrantholder would have been entitled to receive as a result of the Capital Reorganization if, on the effective date thereof, the Warrantholder had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares to which the Warrantholder was theretofore entitled to purchase or receive upon the exercise of this Warrant; and

 

(v)the Exercise Price shall, on the effective date of the Capital Reorganization, be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Capital Reorganization by the number of Common Shares purchasable pursuant to this Warrant Certificate immediately prior to the Capital Reorganization, and dividing the product thereof by the number of successor securities determined in Section 5.2(d)(iv) above.

 

(e)If necessary, as a result of any Capital Reorganization, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant Certificate with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the Warrantholder to the end that the provisions of this Warrant Certificate shall thereafter correspondingly be made applicable as nearly as may reasonably be possible in relation to any shares or other securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant.

 

(f)If at any time during the Adjustment Period any adjustment or readjustment in the Exercise Price shall occur pursuant to the provisions of clauses 5.2(a), 5.2(b) or 5.2(c) hereof, then the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the subsequent exercise of this Warrant shall be simultaneously adjusted or readjusted, as the case may be, by multiplying the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment by a fraction which shall be the reciprocal of the fraction used in the adjustment or readjustment of the Exercise Price.

 

10

 

 

5.3 Rules: The following rules and procedures shall be applicable to adjustments made pursuant to subsection 5.2 hereof.

 

(a)Subject to the following provisions of this subsection 5.3, any adjustment made pursuant to subsection 5.2 hereof shall be made successively whenever an event referred to therein shall occur.

 

(b)No adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required unless such adjustment would result in a change of at least one per cent in the then Exercise Price and no adjustment shall be made in the number of Common Shares purchasable or issuable on the exercise of this Warrant unless it would result in a change of at least one one-hundredth of a Common Share; provided, however, that any adjustments which except for the provision of this clause 5.3(b) would otherwise have been required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. Notwithstanding any other provision of subsection 5.2 hereof, no adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made which would result in an increase in the Exercise Price or a decrease in the number of Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant (except in respect of the Share Reorganization described in subclause 5.2(a)(iv) hereof or a Capital Reorganization described in subclause 5.2(d)(ii) hereof).

 

(c)No adjustment in the Exercise Price or in the number or kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made in respect of any event described in section 5 hereof if the Warrantholder is entitled to participate in such event on the same terms mutatis mutandis as if the Warrantholder had exercised this Warrant prior to or on the record date or effective date, as the case may be, of such event.

 

(d)No adjustment in the Exercise Price or in the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made pursuant to subsection 5.2 hereof in respect of the issue from time to time of Common Shares pursuant to this Warrant Certificate or pursuant to any stock option, stock purchase or stock bonus plan in effect from time to time for directors, officers or employees of the Corporation and/or any subsidiary of the Corporation and any such issue, and any grant of options in connection therewith, shall be deemed not to be a Share Reorganization, a Rights Offering nor any other event described in subsection 5.2 hereof.

 

(e)If at any time during the Adjustment Period the Corporation shall take any action affecting the Common Shares, other than an action described in subsection 5.2 hereof, which in the opinion of the directors would have a material adverse effect upon the rights of the Warrantholder, either or both the Exercise Price and the number of Common Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted in such manner and at such time by action by the directors, in their sole discretion, as may be equitable in the circumstances. Failure of the taking of action by the directors so as to provide for an adjustment prior to the effective date of any action by the Corporation affecting the Common Shares shall be deemed to be conclusive evidence that the directors have determined that it is equitable to make no adjustment in the circumstances.

 

(f)If the Corporation shall set a record date to determine holders of Common Shares for the purpose of entitling such holders to receive any dividend or distribution or any subscription or purchase rights and shall, thereafter and before the distribution to such holders of any such dividend, distribution or subscription or purchase rights, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution or subscription or purchase rights, then no adjustment in the Exercise Price or the number of Common Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be required by reason of the setting of such record date.

 

11

 

 

(g)In any case in which this Warrant shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event referred to in subsection 5.2 hereof, the Corporation may defer, until the occurrence of such event:

 

(i)issuing to the Warrantholder, to the extent that this Warrant is exercised after such record date and before the occurrence of such event, the additional Common Shares issuable upon such exercise by reason of the adjustment required by such event; and

 

(ii)delivering to the Warrantholder any distribution declared with respect to such additional Common Shares after such record date and before such event;

 

provided, however, that the Corporation shall deliver to the Warrantholder an appropriate instrument evidencing the right of the Warrantholder, upon the occurrence of the event requiring the adjustment, to an adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and to such distribution declared with respect to any such additional Common Shares issuable on this exercise of this Warrant.

 

(h)In the absence of a resolution of the directors fixing a record date for a Rights Offering, the Corporation shall be deemed to have fixed as the record date therefor the date of the issue of the rights, options or warrants issued pursuant to the Rights Offering.

 

(i)If a dispute shall at any time arise with respect to adjustments of the Exercise Price or the number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant, such disputes shall be conclusively determined by the auditors of the Corporation or if they are unable or unwilling to act, by such other firm of independent chartered accountants as may be selected by the directors and any such determination shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of any adjustment made pursuant to subsection 5.2 hereof and shall be binding upon the Corporation and the Warrantholder.

 

(j)As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment pursuant to subsection 5.2 hereof, including the Exercise Price and the number or class of Common Shares or other securities which are to be received upon the exercise thereof, the Corporation shall take any action which may, in the opinion of counsel to the Corporation, be necessary in order that the Corporation may validly and legally issue as fully paid and non-assessable shares all of the Common Shares or other securities which the Warrantholder is entitled to receive in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant Certificate.

 

5.4 Notice: At least 21 days prior to any record date or effective date, as the case may be, for any event which requires or might require an adjustment in any of the rights of the Warrantholder under this Warrant, including the Exercise Price and the number of Common Shares which are purchasable under this Warrant, the Corporation shall deliver to the Warrantholder a certificate of the Corporation specifying the particulars of such event and, if determinable, the required adjustment and the calculation of such adjustment. In case any adjustment for which a notice in this subsection 5.4 has been given is not then determinable, the Corporation shall promptly after such adjustment is determinable deliver to the Warrantholder a certificate providing the calculation of such adjustment. The Corporation hereby covenants and agrees that the register of transfers and transfer books for the Common Shares will be open, and that the Corporation will not take any action which might deprive the Warrantholder of the opportunity of exercising the rights of subscription contained in this Warrant Certificate, during such 21 day period.

Each certificate for Common Shares purchased under these Warrants shall bear a legend as follows unless such Common Shares have been registered under the U.S. Securities Act:

 

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “U.S. SECURITIES ACT”) OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NEITHER THE SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURUSANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION OR OFFERING STATEMENT UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT, OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, WHICH IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE COMPANY, IS AVAILABLE.”

After 180 days after the Effective Date, transfers to others may be made subject to compliance with or exemptions from applicable securities laws. In order to make any permitted assignment, Warrantholder must deliver to the Corporation the assignment form attached hereto duly executed and completed, together with the Warrants and payment of all transfer taxes, if any, payable in connection therewith.

ARTICLE 1- ESCROW FUNDS

 

1.1 Appointment of Escrow Agent. The Company hereby appoints the Escrow Agent to act as escrow holder for the Escrow Funds (as defined below) under the terms of this Agreement. The Escrow Agent hereby accepts such appointment, subject to the terms, conditions, and limitations hereof.

 

1.2 Establishment of Escrow. Immediately following the Escrow Agent’s execution of this Agreement, the Escrow Agent will open a non-interest bearing bank checking account with Escrow Agent (the “Escrow Account”) for the purpose of receiving and holding Cash Deposits (as defined below) and the remaining portion of the Total Purchase Price (as defined below) payable by each Investor (as defined below) in connection with the Offering (the “Escrow Funds”).

 

1.3 Escrow Funds.

 

(a) Each Investor or Soliciting Dealer will be instructed by the Company or its Intermediary (as defined herein) to remit to the Company, a predetermined cash deposit (the “Cash Deposit”), as indicated on the applicable Subscription Agreement (as defined below), in the form of a check, draft, wire or ACH payable to the order of “Enterprise Bank & Trust, as Escrow Agent for MODERN MINING TECHNOLOGY CORP. Following receipt by the Company of an Investor’s Cash Deposit, the Company or its Intermediary will promptly: (i) send to the Escrow Agent the Investor’s name, address, executed IRS Form W-9 and total purchase price to be remitted for the Securities to be purchased by the Investor (the “Total Purchase Price”), and (ii) remit to the Escrow Agent the Cash Deposit. Escrow Agent shall promptly deposit the Cash Deposit into the Escrow Account, which deposit shall occur within two (2) business days after the Escrow Agent’s receipt of the Cash Deposit. For purposes of this Agreement, “Intermediary” shall mean a broker registered under Section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or a funding portal registered under Regulation CF, 17 C.F.R.

(d) Escrow Agent will hold all Escrow Funds in escrow, free from any liens, claims or offsets, and such monies shall not become the property of the Company, the Investor or any Soliciting Dealer, nor shall such monies become subject to the debts thereof or the debts of the Escrow Agent, unless and until the conditions set forth in these instructions to disbursement of such monies have been fully satisfied.

In the event of the termination of the Offering pursuant to this Section 2.1(c), the Escrow Funds shall not under any circumstance be returned to the Soliciting Dealers or the Company.

3.2 Duties. Escrow Agent’s duties and obligations hereunder shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement.

Escrow Agent is hereby authorized by the Company to deduct from the Escrow Fund any fees not timely paid, and any unpaid fees before final distribution of the Escrow Fund to the Company in accordance with this Agreement; provided, however, that no fees shall be deducted from any amount of Escrow Funds to be returned to Investors.

If at any time Escrow Agent is served with any judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, writ or other form of judicial or administrative process which in any way affects the Escrow Funds (including but not limited to orders of attachment or any other forms of levies or injunctions or stays relating to the transfer of the Escrow Funds), Escrow Agent is authorized to comply therewith in any manner as it or its legal counsel of its own choosing deems appropriate; and if Escrow Agent complies with any such judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, writ or other form of judicial or administrative process, Escrow Agent shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other person or entity even though such order, judgment, decree, writ or process may be subsequently modified or vacated or otherwise determined to have been without legal force or effect.

 

3.9 Resignation.

The Company represents and warrants that (a) its Federal tax identification number (“TIN”) specified on the signature page of this Agreement underneath its signature is correct and is to be used for 1099 tax reporting purposes, and (b) it is not subject to backup withholding. The Company shall provide the Escrow Agent with the TIN and verification that the person or entity is not subject to backup withholding for any person or entity to whom interest is paid on any of the Proceeds, if applicable. Such verification may be evidenced by providing the Escrow Agent a Subscription Agreement containing appropriate language or a copy of a W-9.

 

3.14 Reliance. When Escrow Agent acts on any communication (including, but not limited to, communication with respect to the transfer of funds) sent by electronic transmission, Escrow Agent, absent gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not be responsible or liable in the event such communication is not an authorized or authentic communication of the party involved or is not in the form the party involved sent or intended to send (whether due to fraud, distortion or otherwise). Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from Escrow Agent’s reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Company and the Managing Broker-Dealer agree to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic transmission to submit instructions and directions to Escrow Agent, including without limitation the risk of Escrow Agent acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk or interception and misuse by third parties.

 

3.15 Force Majeure. Escrow Agent shall not incur liability for not performing any act or not fulfilling any duty, obligation or responsibility hereunder by reason of any occurrence beyond the control of Escrow Agent (including but not limited to any act or provision of any present or future law or regulation or governmental authority, pandemic or public health emergency, any act of God or war, terrorism or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank or other wire or communication facility).

4.2 Amendments. Except as otherwise permitted herein, this Agreement may be modified only by a written amendment signed by the parties hereto, and no waiver of any provision hereof will be effective unless expressed in a writing signed by the parties hereto.

 

4.3 Wiring Instructions. In the event fund transfer instructions are given, such instructions must be communicated to Escrow Agent in writing delivered pursuant to Section 4.1. Escrow Agent shall seek confirmation of such instructions by telephone call-back to an Authorized Representative (in the case of the Company), authorized representative of the Intermediary, or other authorized person, and Escrow Agent may rely upon the confirmations of anyone purporting to be the Authorized Representative of the Company, authorized representative of the Intermediary, or other authorized person so designated. Escrow Agent and the beneficiary’s bank in any funds transfer may rely solely upon any account numbers or similar identifying numbers provided by the Company or the Intermediary to identify (i) the beneficiary, (ii) the beneficiary’s bank, or (iii) an intermediary bank. Escrow Agent may apply any of the Escrow Funds for any payment order it executes using any such identifying number, even when its use may result in a person other than the beneficiary being paid, or the transfer of funds to a bank other than the beneficiary’s bank or an intermediary bank designated. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that such security procedure is commercially reasonable.

4.4 Notifications.

 

(a) The Escrow Agent may, but need not, honor and follow instructions, amendments or other orders (“orders”) which shall be provided by telephone facsimile transmission (“faxed”) to the Escrow Agent in connection with this Agreement and may act thereon without further inquiry and regardless of whom or by what means the actual or purported signature of the Company may have been affixed thereto if such signature in Escrow Agent’s sole judgment resembles the signature of the Company. The Company indemnifies and holds the Escrow Agent free and harmless from any and all liability, suits, claims or causes of action which may arise from loss or claim of loss resulting from any forged, improper, wrongful or unauthorized faxed order. The Company shall pay all actual attorney fees and costs reasonably incurred by the Escrow Agent (or allocable to its in-house counsel), in connection with said claim(s).

 

(b) Furthermore, all parties hereby agree that all current and future notices, confirmations and other communications regarding this Agreement specifically, and future communications in general between the parties, may be made by email, sent to the email address of record as set forth above or, solely with regards to business in the normal course, as otherwise from time to time changed or updated, directly by the party changing such information, without necessity of confirmation of receipt, delivery or reading, and such form of electronic communication is sufficient for all matters regarding the relationship between the parties. If any such electronically-sent communication fails to be received for any reason, including but not limited to such communications being diverted to the recipients’ spam filters by the recipients email service provider or technology, or due to a recipients’ change of address, or due to technology issues by the recipients’ service provider, the parties agree that the burden of such failure to receive is on the recipient and not the sender, and that the sender is under no obligation to resend communications via any other means, including but not limited to postal service or overnight courier, and that such communications shall for all purposes, including legal and regulatory, be deemed to have been delivered and received.

 

(c) The Company is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of all communications given by it including those given pursuant to electronic means, including but not limited to email, internet, facsimile or text. Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for any interruption in such communication services and the Company shall be responsible for security of all such services.

 

4.5 Assignment. Except as permitted in this Section 4.5, neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned by any party hereto without the express written consent of each of the other parties hereto. This Agreement shall inure to and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors, heirs and permitted assigns. Any corporation into which Escrow Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which Escrow Agent will be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the business of Escrow Agent will be the successor of Escrow Agent hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper with any party hereto or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto except where an instrument of transfer or assignment is required by law to effect such succession, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

 

4.6 USA PATRIOT Act. The Company shall provide to Escrow Agent such information as Escrow Agent may reasonably require to permit Escrow Agent to comply with its obligations under the federal USA PATRIOT Act (Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001). Escrow Agent shall not make any payment of all or a portion of the Escrow Fund, to any person unless and until such person has provided to Escrow Agent such documents as Escrow Agent may require to permit Escrow Agent to comply with its obligations under such Act. Further, Company represents and warrants to Escrow Agent that if it is a hedge fund, it will promptly notify Escrow Agent and enter into any agreement or provide any documentation requested by Escrow Agent.

 

10

 

 

4.7 Termination. This Agreement shall terminate when all the Escrow Funds have been disbursed or returned in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

 

4.8 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of these and all additional or changed instructions.

 

4.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which so executed shall, irrespective of the date of its execution and delivery, be deemed an original, and said counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 

4.10 Governing Law and Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by, and shall be construed according to, the laws of the State of Missouri. The parties hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts of St. Louis County, Missouri or, if proper subject matter jurisdiction exists, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement. Each party hereto further irrevocably consents to the service of any complaint, summons, notice or other process relating to any such action or proceeding by delivery thereof to it by hand or by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, in the manner provided for herein. Each party hereto hereby expressly and irrevocably waives any claim or defense in any such action or proceeding based on improper venue or forum non conveniens or any similar basis.

 

4.11 Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH PARTY HEREBY EXPRESSLY, INTENTIONALLY, AND DELIBERATELY WAIVES, AND COVENANTS THAT IT WILL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE), ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY FORUM IN RESPECT OF ANY ISSUE, CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING IN WHOLE OR IN PART UNDER, RELATED TO, BASED ON OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT OR CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE (EACH, A “CLAIM”). ANY PARTY HERETO MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION 4.11 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF EACH SUCH PARTY TO THE WAIVER OF ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. In the event that the waiver of jury trial set forth in the previous sentence is not enforceable under the law applicable to this Agreement, the parties to this Agreement agree that any Claim, including any question of law or fact relating thereto, shall, at the written request of any party, be determined by judicial reference pursuant to Missouri law. The parties shall select a single neutral referee, who shall be a retired state or federal judge. In the event that the parties cannot agree upon a referee, the court shall appoint the referee. The referee shall report a statement of decision to the court. Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the right of any party at any time to exercise self-help remedies, foreclose against collateral or obtain provisional remedies. The parties shall bear the fees and expenses of the referee equally, unless the referee orders otherwise. The referee shall also determine all issues relating to the applicability, interpretation, and enforceability of this paragraph. The parties acknowledge that if a referee is selected to determine the Claims, then the Claims will not be decided by a jury.

 

4.12 Use of Name. The Company and the Managing Broker-Dealer will not make any reference to Enterprise Bank & Trust in connection with the Offering except with respect to its role as Escrow Agent hereunder, and in no event will the Company or the Managing Broker-Dealer state or imply the Escrow Agent has investigated or endorsed the Offering in any manner whatsoever.
