ValOre has submitted an application for TSX Venture Exchange approval for the repricing of 11,550,000 options and 11,700,000 warrants granted and up to 8,750,000 warrants to be issued upon closing of the current ValOre private placement. See schedule of the proposed number of options and warrants and respective exercise prices and expiration dates below.
Options proposed for repricing
| Number of Options | Current Exercise Price | Expiry Date | |
| 3,525,000 | $0.25 | September 6, 2024 | |
| 1,425,000 | $0.30 | August 10, 2023 | |
| 6,600,000 | $0.45 | December 9, 2024 | |
Warrants proposed for repricing
| Number of Warrants | Current Exercise Price | Expiry Date | |
| 3,525,000 | $0.25 | September 6, 2024 | |
| 1,575,000 | $0.30 | August 10, 2023 | |

The repricing of the options and warrants would only be completed subsequent to the closing of ValOre's previously announced disposition of the Angilak Property to Labrador Uranium Inc. (CSE: LUR). In order to reflect the new value of ValOre's equity after completion of the transaction, the Company intends to re-price the exercise price of the options and warrants to equal the ten (10) day volume-weighted average price of the Company's common shares on the TSX-V commencing on the first full trading day after the closing of the disposition of Angilak.
The Company intends to seek the requisite disinterested shareholder approval for the option and warrant repricing required under Exchange policies at its upcoming shareholder meeting to be held on May 12, 2023. There is no assurance that ValOre will receive Exchange and / or disinterested shareholder approval to reprice the options and warrants. Certain options and warrants are held by insiders and related parties, and as such, would constitute a related party transaction as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101, Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions. However, such actions are exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of the options and / or warrants, exceeds 25 per cent of the company's market capitalization.
