The Voluntary Pooling Agreements will restrict the sale of approximately 96,003,987 common shares of the Company (the "Common Shares"), representing approximately 57.15% of the 168,000,000 Common Shares issued in connection with the Company's private placement of $0.06 units, which closed on August 19^th and September 3^rd, 2024 (the "Offering").

Mario Vetro, Co-Founder and board member of the Company commented: "Things are starting to progress well for the company. We are in the midst of our drill program at the Converse gold project in Nevada and we recently had our short form base shelf prospectus cleared by the British Columbia Securities Commission, which has allowed to bring our website live and start talking about the significance of the assets we have investments in. Subsequent to that, we announced the first of multiple marketing press releases. To kick these marketing programs off, I am thrilled that core shareholders have agreed to a lock up of their stock for the next 3 months. This will allow the company to properly build up the market liquidity as we initiate several marketing and awareness programs".

Mr. Vetro continued "this is a testament to our innovative model and the quality of our shareholder group. In the past month, insider buying has continued, highlighting this team's conviction in our assets and business plan. Axcap remains priced at $5 per ounce of gold, a valuation that is near the bottom of the peer group".
