Convertible Debentures
The Debentures will be convertible into units (each a "Unit") with a deemed value of $3.00 per Unit (the "Conversion Price) (i) at the holder's option at any time prior to payment in cash. The Debentures will mature on April 24, 2028 (the "Maturity Date") and bear interest at 5% per annum, accruing daily, compounding annually and payable on April 24 of each year and at the Maturity Date or conversion. Payments of interest may, at the Company's option, be made either (i) by payment in cash (other than in the event of a conversion) or (ii) by the issuance of Units at a deemed value of $3.00 per Unit. On closing, subscribers will be paid a bonus in Units, equal to one Unit for each $12.00 of Debentures subscribed.
Each Unit will be comprised of one (1) CACR.A multiple-voting share and one (1) share purchase warrant enabling its holder to acquire one further CACR.A multiple-voting share from treasury upon payment of $3.00, exercisable at any time on or before the earlier of (i) December 15, 2028 or (ii) two (2) business days after completion of a take-over bid or a merger, amalgamation, arrangement or other form of business combination as a result of which the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to such bid or business combination do not own a majority of votes attaching to the voting securities of the Company or of the resulting issuer or do not have the power to elect a majority of the directors of the Company or of the resulting issuer, as the case may be, after completion of such bid or business combination. The proceeds of the distribution of Debentures will be used to fund the Company's business focused on the acquisition of interests in, and the exploration, evaluation and development of, large-scale mineral deposits of chromite and other base metals and minerals including, without limitation, funding the Company's overhead and operating expenses and the costs of these private placements.

Flow-Through Units will be offered to subscribers at $2.50 each for a minimum subscription of $500,000 or such other amount as the Company may determine. The proceeds of the distribution of Flow Through Units will be used to fund Canadian exploration expenses including the proposed drilling of targets at the Black Horse deposit in the Ring of Fire identified by the magneto telluric survey completed in February of this year, which drilling is planned to be undertaken under the permit issued September 15th, 2023 as announced by the Company on September 22nd, 2023.
