Offering

") of units (the "

Units

"). The Offering follows the closing of Halcones’ subscription receipt offering (please see Pinehurst’s press release dated June 24, 2022 for further details). Under the Offering, Halcones issued an aggregate of 713,334 Units at a price of $0.30 per Unit (the "

Issue Price

") for gross proceeds of $214,000.

Each Unit is comprised of one common share of Halcones (a “Halcones Common Share”) and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Halcones Warrant”). Each Halcones Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one Halcones Common Share at a price of $0.40 for a period of 24 months following the date hereof.

As previously announced, on January 25, 2022, Halcones and Pinehurst entered into an amalgamation agreement, as amended on May 20, 2022 (the “Amalgamation Agreement“) setting out the terms of the reverse take-over of Pinehurst by the shareholders of Halcones by way of a three-cornered amalgamation with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pinehurst incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario (the “RTO“). Pinehurst, as the resulting issuer following the completion of the RTO (the “Resulting Issuer“), will continue the business of Halcones under the name “Pinehurst Precious Metals Corp.” or such other name as determined by Halcones.

Each Halcones Common Share and each Halcones Warrant will be immediately exchanged for one common share of Pinehurst and one common share purchase warrant of Pinehurst (each on a post-Consolidation basis). Pursuant to the Amalgamation Agreement, prior to completing the RTO, Pinehurst common shares shall be consolidated on the basis of 0.4716981 post-consolidation Pinehurst common shares for each one pre-consolidation Pinehurst common share (the “Consolidation”).

All securities issued under the Offering are subject to a statutory hold period of four-months and one-day. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for the exploration of the Carachapampa project in Chile and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
