The Offering was completed on a "bought deal" private placement basis, with Paradigm Capital Inc. acting as lead underwriter and sole bookrunner on behalf of a syndicate of underwriters including Cormark Securities Inc. and Agentis Capital Partners (collectively, the "Underwriters").

In connection with the Offering, the Company paid the Underwriters a cash commission equal to 6% of the gross proceeds of the Offering and also issued to the Underwriters an aggregate of 309,168 non-transferable compensation options of the Company (each, a "Compensation Option"). Each Compensation Option entitles the holder to acquire one common share of the Company (each, a "Common Share") at the price of C$0.68 per Common Share for a period of 24 months from the date of closing of the Offering.

The net proceeds from the sale of the HD Shares are expected to be used towards working capital and general corporate purposes. The use of proceeds is further described in the amended and restated offering document related to the Offering dated September 15, 2025, which is available under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on the Company's website at www.ongoldresources.com.

Subject to compliance with applicable regulatory requirements, the Offered Shares were offered to purchasers resident in all Provinces of Canada (excluding Quebec) pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption under Part 5A (the "Listed Issuer Financing Exemption") of National Instrument 45-106 - Prospectus Exemptions ("NI 45-106") as amended and supplemented by Coordinated Blanket Order 45-935 Exemptions from Certain Conditions of the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption. The Offered Shares sold pursuant to the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption in Canada are not subject to resale restrictions under applicable Canadian securities laws.

Insiders of the Company participated in the Offering, which constitutes a 'related party transaction' under Multilateral Instrument 61 101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company is relying on exemptions from the formal valuation requirement under section 5.5(a) and the minority shareholder approval requirement under section 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the securities issued to related parties nor the consideration paid by such parties exceeds 25% of the Company's market capitalization. To the knowledge of the Company, no formal valuation has been obtained in respect of the Company or any of its securities in the 24 months prior to the date hereof. The Offering, including insider participation, was approved by the disinterested directors of the Company. A material change report in respect of the related party transaction will be filed by the Company, but was not filed at least 21 days prior to the closing of the Offering due to the Company's determination that it was necessary to complete the Offering on an expedited basis for sound business reasons.

The Offering remains subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
