20 février 2026—Toronto, Ontario—Nuvau Minerals Inc. (TSXV : NMC) (la «Companie" ou "Nuvau») annonce que, suite à son communiqué de presse daté du 30 janvier 2026, elle a modifié les conditions de son placement privé négocié « au mieux » précédemment annoncé, codirigé par Clarus Securities Inc. et Integrity Capital Group Inc. (collectivement, les «Agents»), comprenant (i) le placement d'un maximum de 18 750 000 unités de la Société (les «Unités») au prix de 0,80 $ par unité, pour un produit brut maximal de 15 000 000 $ (l'«Offre d'Unités») et l'offre d'un maximum de 5 555 555 actions accréditives (telles que définies dans les présentes) au prix de 0,90 $ par action accréditive, pour un produit brut maximal de 5 000 000 $ (l'«Offre accréditive» et, conjointement avec l'Offre d'unités, l'«Offre»).
Tel que modifié, la Société propose d'émettre jusqu'à 5 555 555 actions ordinaires accréditives de la Société (les «Actions accréditives“) at an offering price of $0.90 per FT Share (the “FT Share Price“). All FT Shares will be common shares of the Company that qualify as “flow-through shares” within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Loi de l'impôt (Canada) and section 359.1 of the Loi sur les impôts (Québec). The gross proceeds from the offering of FT Shares will be used by the Company to incur eligible “Canadian exploration expenses” (as defined in the ITA), a portion of which may qualify as “flow-through mining expenditures” and at least 30% of which will qualify as “flow-through critical mineral mining expenditures” (“FTCMME“) (each as defined in the ITA) (the “(les « Dépenses Admissibles »)“). At the sole discretion of the Company certain subscribers of FT Shares may be allocated a higher percentage of Qualifying Expenditures that qualify as FTCMME. All Qualifying Expenditures will be incurred by the Company on or before December 31, 2027, and will be renounced in favour of the subscribers of the FT Shares with an effective date on or before December 31, 2026.
All other terms of the Offering remain unchanged. Please refer to the Company’s news release dated January 30, 2026, for additional information.
In connection with the Offering, a director of the Company, plans to sell up to 400,000 common shares of the Company (“actions ordinaires“) held, directly or indirectly, through the facilities of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “la Bourse.“) and intends to use the proceeds from such sales to subscribe for 400,000 FT Shares under the FT Offering. The sale of such Common Shares is expected to be effected pursuant to pre‑arranged trades made through the facilities of the Exchange.
Participation in the Offering by a director of the Company constitutes a “related party transaction” within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection des détenteurs de titres minoritaires dans les opérations spéciales (“MI 61‑101“). The Company intends to rely on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements provided under sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61‑101 on the basis that the fair market value of the transaction, insofar as it involves interested parties, will not exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.
Closing of the Unit Offering is expected to occur on or about February 24, 2026, with the closing of the FT Offering expected to occur on or about March 6, 2026. Completion of the Offering remains subject to certain conditions, including, but not limited to, the conditional approval of Exchange. All securities issued under the Offering will be subject to a hold period expiring four months and one day from the date of issuance thereof.
The Agents will have an option (the “Option des Agents”), exercisable in whole or in part up to 48 hours prior to the closing of the Unit Offering, to offer for sale up to any combination of additional Units (or any combination of their underlying components) and/or additional FT Shares, at their respective offering prices, to raise up to an additional $5,000,000 in gross proceeds.
Les titres proposés n'ont pas été enregistrés en vertu de la loi américaine sur les valeurs mobilières (U.S. Securities Act) et ne peuvent être proposés ou vendus aux États-Unis sans enregistrement ou exemption applicable des exigences d'enregistrement. Le présent communiqué de presse ne constitue pas une offre de vente ni une sollicitation d'offre d'achat, et aucun titre ne sera vendu dans un État où une telle offre, sollicitation ou vente serait illégale.
