AEOAEO

Eric Sprott will invest C$23.04 million for a 9.9% stake through 19.2 million common shares at C$0.77 per share, as part of American Eagle Gold’s planned C$34.54 million financing including a C$23.04 million flow-through tranche. Upon closing, the company expects over C$50 million cash to fully fund its 2026–27 NAK project drill expansions.

1. Financing Structure

American Eagle Gold has launched a C$34.54 million equity financing comprising a C$23.04 million flow-through offering of 19.2 million FT shares at C$1.20 each and a concurrent offering of up to 14.94 million common shares at C$0.77. The flow-through shares will fund eligible Canadian exploration expenses and will be renounced to investors by year-end 2026.

2. Eric Sprott Strategic Investment

Through his controlled vehicle, Eric Sprott has agreed to acquire approximately 19.2 million common shares at a back-end price of C$0.77 per share, representing a 9.9% pre-dilution equity interest. This C$23.04 million commitment marks one of Sprott’s rare copper-focused investments and establishes him alongside South32, Teck and Orecap as foundational shareholders.

3. Use of Proceeds and NAK Project

Upon closing both tranches expected by March 20, 2026, American Eagle Gold will hold over C$50 million, fully funding its expanded 2026–27 drill program at the NAK copper-gold porphyry project in British Columbia. Proceeds will support ongoing exploration successes, additional high-grade zone testing and general working capital.

4. Equity Participation Rights

Previously, South32 and Teck secured equity participation rights allowing pro-rata involvement in future financings up to C$11.5 million, which could alter the concurrent offering size. Their decisions on participation will determine final ownership stakes and the extent of dilution for existing shareholders.
