Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – April 27, 2026) – Phenom Resources Corp. (TSXV: PHNM) (OTCQX: PHNMF) (FSE: 1PY0) (“Phenom” or the “Company”) announces the issuance of 150,000 common shares (the “Consideration Shares“) at a deemed price of $0.44 per share to Nevada Gold Ventures LLC (the “Vendor“) in satisfaction of the final share payment obligation under the property option agreement dated April 26, 2023 (the “Option Agreement“) relating to the Crescent Valley project located about 22 km (13 miles) southwest of Carlin, NV, strategically located along the southwest fringe of the Carlin Gold Trend within the prospective Northern Nevada Rift, Nevada (the “Property“).
Pursuant to the Option Agreement, the Company has the option to acquire a 100% interest in the Property by completing certain cash payments, share issuances and work expenditure commitments to the Vendor. The Option Agreement and the total share consideration of 600,000 common shares were accepted for filing by the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange“) on or about June 23, 2023 as an arm’s length transaction.
With the issuance of the Consideration Shares, the Company has satisfied all cash payment, share issuance and work expenditure obligations under the Option Agreement and has earned a 100% interest in the Property, subject to the NSR royalty.
At the time the Option Agreement was entered into and at the time of its acceptance by the Exchange, the transaction was an arm’s length transaction. Subsequent to the original acceptance, Dave Mathewson, the owner of Nevada Gold Ventures LLC, became a director of the Company and is accordingly now an insider of the Company.
As a result of Dave Mathewson’s current status as a director, the issuance of the Consideration Shares to the Vendor constitutes a “related party transaction” within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101“) and TSXV Policy 5.9. The Company notes, however, that the underlying obligation to issue these shares arose prior to Dave Mathewson becoming a director, pursuant to an agreement accepted by the Exchange as arm’s length, and that no new consideration is being provided. The Consideration Shares represent the fulfillment of a pre-existing, Exchange approved obligation.
To the extent MI 61-101 applies, the Company is relying on the exemptions from the formal valuation requirement and minority shareholder approval requirement pursuant to sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, on the basis that the fair market value of the Consideration Shares to be issued to Nevada Gold Ventures LLC, does not exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.
