The Common Shares, Debt Securities, Subscription Receipts, Warrants and Units (collectively, the “Securities”) offered hereby may be offered separately or together, in separate series, in amounts, at prices and on terms to be set forth in one or more prospectus supplements (collectively or individually, as the case may be, “Prospectus Supplements”). In addition, Securities may be offered and issued in consideration for the acquisition of other businesses, assets or securities by the Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation. The consideration for any such acquisition may consist of any of the Securities separately, a combination of Securities or any combination of, among other things, Securities, cash and assumption of liabilities.
The specific terms of any offering of Securities will be set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement and may include, without limitation, where applicable: (i) in the case of Common Shares, the number of Common Shares being offered, the offering price, whether the Common Shares are being offered for cash, and any other terms specific to the Common shares being offered; (ii) in the case of Debt Securities, the specific designation, aggregate principal amount, the currency or the currency unit for which the Debt Securities may be purchased, maturity, interest provisions, authorized denominations, offering price, whether the Debt Securities are being offered for cash, the covenants, the events of default, any terms for redemption or retraction, any exchange or conversion rights attached to the Debt Securities (provided that the Debt Securities shall only be convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares or other securities of the Corporation), and any other terms specific to the Debt Securities being offered; (iii) in the case of Subscription Receipts, the number of Subscription Receipts being offered, the offering price, whether the Subscription Receipts are being offered for cash, the terms, conditions and procedures for the exchange of the Subscription Receipts into or for Common Shares and/or other securities of the Corporation and any other terms specific to the Subscription Receipts being offered; (iv) in the case of Warrants, the number of such Warrants offered, the offering price, whether the Warrants are being offered for cash, the terms, conditions and procedures for the exercise of such Warrants into or for Common Share and/or other securities of the Corporation and any other specific terms; and (v) in the case of Units, the number of Units being offered, the offering price, the terms of the Common Shares, Debt Securities, Subscription Receipts and/or Warrants underlying the Units, and any other specific terms.

All shelf information permitted under applicable securities legislation to be omitted from this Prospectus will be contained in one or more Prospectus Supplements that will be delivered to purchasers together with this Prospectus, unless an exemption from the prospectus delivery requirements has been granted. Each Prospectus Supplement will be incorporated by reference into this Prospectus as of the date of such Prospectus Supplement and only for the purposes of the distribution of the Securities covered by that Prospectus Supplement.
This Prospectus does not qualify for issuance Debt Securities, or Securities convertible or exchangeable into Debt Securities, in respect of which the payment of principal and/or interest may be determined, in whole or in part, by reference to one or more underlying interests including, for example, an equity or debt security, a statistical measure of economic or financial performance including, without limitation, any currency, consumer price or mortgage index, or the price or value of one or more commodities, indices or other items, or any other item or formula, or any combination or basket of the foregoing items. This Prospectus may qualify for issuance Debt Securities, or Securities convertible or exchangeable into Debt Securities in respect of which the payment of principal and/or interest may be determined, in whole or in part, by reference to published rates of a central banking authority or one or more financial institutions, such as a prime rate or bankers’ acceptance rate, or to recognized market benchmark interest rates such as CORRA (the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average), and/or convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares.
The Prospectus may qualify an “at-the-market distribution” as defined in NI 44-102. The Corporation may offer and sell Securities through underwriters or dealers, directly or through agents designated by the Corporation from time to time at amounts and prices and other terms determined by the Corporation. A Prospectus Supplement will set forth the names of any underwriters, dealers, or agents involved in the Offering and will set forth the terms of the Offering, the method of distribution of such Securities including, to the extent applicable, the proceeds to the Corporation and any fees, discounts, or any other compensation payable to underwriters, dealers, agents, and any other material terms of the distribution. In connection with any Offering (unless otherwise specified in a Prospectus Supplement), the underwriters or agents may, subject to applicable law, over-allot or effect transactions that stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities offered at levels other than that which might otherwise exist in the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be interrupted or discontinued at any time. See “Plan of Distribution”.
The outstanding Common Shares are listed and posted for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) and on the NYSE American LLC (the “NYSE American”) under the symbol “CNL”.

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Debt Securities, Subscription Receipts, Warrants and Units will not be listed on any securities exchange. There is no market through which these Securities may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell such Securities purchased under this Prospectus. This may affect the pricing of the Securities in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the Securities, and the extent of issuer regulation.

THE CORPORATION
The Corporation is a Canadian company listed on the TSX and the NYSE American under the symbol “CNL”. The Corporation’s long-term focus is on the acquisition, exploration, development and exploitation of mineral properties in which the Corporation’s exploration, development and operating expertise could substantially enhance shareholder value. The Corporation currently has one material exploration project which is the Guayabales project (the “Guayabales Project”) located in the Caldas department of Colombia. The Corporation also owns the San Antonio project located in a historical gold district in the Caldas department of Colombia, however, the current focus of the Corporation is on the exploration of the Guayabales Project, which is currently its only material project. See “Guayabales Project”, “Documents Incorporated by Reference”, and “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information”.
October 2024 and 2025 Equity Financings
Set out below is a comparison in tabular form of the disclosure that the Corporation previously made about how it intended to use the net proceeds from the October 2024 Offering and the October 2025 Offering (as each such term is defined below) and an explanation of variances and the impact of the variances on the Corporation’s ability to achieve its business objectives and milestones:
| Date of Financing | Funds Raised | Intended Use of Funds | Explanation of Variances and Impact on Business Objectives and Milestones |
| October 31, 2024 (the “October 2024 Offering”) | Gross proceeds of approximately C$46.4 million | The net proceeds of the October 2024 Offering were intended to, and did, fund ongoing work programs to advance the Guayabales Project, to pursue other exploration and development opportunities, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
The Corporation’s objectives were to better understand the potential for discovery of economically important metals on its properties. Exploration drilling, which was comprised of approximately 50,000 metres of core drilling, focused primarily on the Apollo porphyry discovery within the Apollo target at the Guayabales Project. The Trap target and newly generated targets at the Guayabales Project were also allocated some drilling metres. |
No significant variances to the intended use of proceeds from the October 2024 Offering. |
| October 8, 2025 (the “October 2025 Offering”) | Gross proceeds of approximately C$140 million | The net proceeds from the October 2025 Offering were intended to be used by the Corporation to fund ongoing work programs to advance the Guayabales Project, including further investment in exploration activities, technical studies and underground development on the Guayabales Project in order to expand the known gold system, to pursue other exploration and development opportunities, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
The Corporation’s objectives are to advance the Apollo discovery with infill drilling along with exploration drilling at the Ramp Zone. The Corporation intends to publish a maiden resource estimate on the Apollo system in the first half of 2027 along with eventual economic studies. The Corporation also intends to continue exploration drilling at various grassroots targets within its portfolio of exploration titles. The proposed use of proceeds from October 2025 Offering, together with cash on hand, are also expected to fund approximately 195,000 metres of further core drilling and underground development in order to access the Apollo system at lower elevations along various technical studies. |
No significant variances to the intended use of proceeds from the October 2025 Offering. |

CONSOLIDATED CAPITALIZATION
There have not been any material changes in the share and loan capitalization of the Corporation since the date of the Financial Statements, which are incorporated by reference in this Prospectus.
The applicable Prospectus Supplement will describe any material change, and the effect of such material change, on the Corporation’s share and loan capitalization that will result from the issuance of Securities pursuant to such prospectus supplement.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The net proceeds to the Corporation from the sale of Securities, the proposed use of those proceeds and the specific business objectives which the Corporation expects to accomplish with such proceeds will be set forth in an applicable Prospectus Supplement relating to that offering of Securities. Unless otherwise indicated in a Prospectus Supplement, the Corporation expects the net proceeds from the sale of Securities to be used to fund ongoing work programs to advance the Corporation’s Colombian mineral properties, to actively pursue exploration and development opportunities, including potential acquisitions, and for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Corporation may, from time to time, issue securities (including equity and debt securities) other than pursuant to this Prospectus or any applicable Prospectus Supplement.
The Corporation currently generates no operating revenue from the exploration activities on its property interests and has negative cash flow from operating activities. The Corporation anticipates that it will continue to have negative cash flow until such time that commercial production is achieved at a particular project. To the extent that the Corporation has negative cash flows in future periods in excess of net proceeds from the sale of Securities, it may need to deploy a portion of net proceeds from the sale of Securities to fund such negative cash flows. See “Risk Factors”.

DESCRIPTION OF UNITS
Units are a security comprised of more than one of the other Securities described in this Prospectus offered together as a “Unit”. A Unit is typically issued so the holder thereof is also the holder of each Security included in the Unit. Thus, the holder of a Unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each Security comprising the Unit. The agreement, if any, under which a Unit is issued may provide that the Securities comprising the Unit may not be held or transferred separately at any time or at any time before a specified date.
The particular terms and provisions of Units offered by any Prospectus Supplement, and the extent to which the general terms and provisions described below may apply to them, will be described in the Prospectus Supplement filed in respect of such Units. This description will include, where applicable: (i) the designation and terms of the Units and of the Securities comprising the Units, including whether and under what circumstances those Securities may be held or transferred separately; (ii) any provisions for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the Units or of the Securities comprising the Units; (iii) whether the Units will be issued in registered or global form; and (iv) any other material terms and conditions of the Units.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Corporation may sell the Securities, separately or together: (a) to one or more underwriters or dealers; (b) through one or more agents; or (c) directly to one or more purchasers through applicable statutory exemptions. The Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular offering of Securities will identify each underwriter, dealer or agent engaged in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities, as well as the method of distribution and the terms of the offering of such Securities, including the net proceeds to the Corporation and, to the extent applicable, any fees, discounts, concessions or any other compensation payable to underwriters, dealers or agents and any other material terms. Only underwriters so named in the Prospectus Supplement are deemed to be underwriters in connection with the Securities offered thereby.
The Securities may be sold, from time to time, in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market price, at varied prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices, including sales in transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market distributions” as defined in NI 44-102, including sales made directly on the TSX or other existing trading markets for the Securities. For the avoidance of doubt, any “at-the-market distribution” will only be for a distribution of Common Shares. The prices at which the Securities may be offered may vary as between purchasers and during the period of distribution. If, in connection with the offering of the Securities at a fixed price or prices, the underwriters have made a bona fide effort to sell all of the Securities at the initial offering price fixed in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the public offering price may be decreased and thereafter further changed, from time to time, to an amount not greater than the initial offering price fixed in such Prospectus Supplement, in which case the compensation realized by the underwriters will be decreased by the amount that the aggregate price paid by purchasers for the Securities is less than the gross proceeds paid by the underwriters to the Corporation.
Underwriters, dealers and agents who participate in the distribution of the Securities may be entitled under agreements to be entered into with the Corporation to indemnification by the Corporation against certain liabilities, including liabilities under securities legislation, or to contribution with respect to payments which such underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make in respect thereof. Such underwriters, dealers and agents may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for, the Corporation in the ordinary course of business.
Agents, underwriters or dealers may make sales of Securities in privately negotiated transactions and/or any other method permitted by law, including sales deemed to be an “at-the-market distribution” as defined in NI 44-102 and subject to limitations imposed by and the terms of any regulatory approvals required and obtained under, applicable Canadian securities laws which includes sales made directly on an existing trading market for the Common Shares, or sales made to or through a market maker other than on a securities exchange.
No underwriter or dealer involved in an “at-the-market distribution” under this Prospectus, no affiliate of such an underwriter or dealer, and no person or company acting jointly or in concert with such an underwriter or dealer, may, in connection with the distribution, enter into any transaction that is intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities or securities of the same class as the Securities distributed under the Prospectus Supplement, including selling an aggregate number or principal amount of Securities that would result in the underwriter creating an over-allocation position in the Securities.
- 8 -
Any offering of Debt Securities, Subscription Receipts, Warrants or Units will be a new issue of securities with no established trading market. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Debt Securities, Subscription Receipts, Warrants or Units will not be listed on any securities exchange. See “Risk Factors”. Certain dealers may make a market in these Securities, but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. No assurance can be given that any dealer will make a market in these Securities or as to the liquidity of the trading market, if any, for these Securities.
In connection with any offering of Securities, other than an “at-the-market distribution”, the underwriters or agents may over-allot or effect transactions which stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities offered at a higher level than that which might exist in the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be interrupted or discontinued at any time. A purchaser who acquires Securities forming part of the underwriters’ over-allocation position acquires those Securities under this Prospectus, regardless of whether the overallocation position is ultimately filled through the exercise of the over-allotment option or secondary market purchases.
PRIOR SALES
Information in respect of Common Shares issued by the Corporation within the previous 12-month period, and in respect of securities that are convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares, will be provided as required in a Prospectus Supplement with respect to the issuance of Securities pursuant to such Prospectus Supplement.
MARKET FOR SECURITIES
The Common Shares are listed and posted for trading on the TSX under the symbol “CNL”. Information in respect of trading price and volume of the Common Shares during the previous 12-month period will be provided as required in a Prospectus Supplement with respect to the issuance of Securities pursuant to such Prospectus Supplement.
CERTAIN CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The applicable Prospectus Supplement may describe certain Canadian federal income tax considerations generally applicable to investors described therein of purchasing, holding and disposing of applicable Securities, including, in the case of an investor who is not a resident of Canada, Canadian non-resident withholding tax consideration.
RISK FACTORS
An investment in the Securities involves risks. Prospective investors should carefully consider the risks described in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” in any Prospectus Supplement and those set forth in documents incorporated by reference in this Prospectus and any applicable Prospectus Supplement, as well as other information in this Prospectus and any applicable Prospectus Supplement, before purchasing any of the Securities. Each of the risks described in these sections and documents could materially and adversely affect the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the Corporation, and could result in a loss of investment. Additional risks and uncertainties not known to the Corporation or that the Corporation currently deems immaterial may also impair the Corporation’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Negative Operating Cash Flow
To date the Corporation has recorded no operating cash flow and the Corporation has not commenced development or commercial production on any property. There can be no assurance that significant losses will not occur in the near future or that the Corporation will be profitable in the future. The Corporation’s operating expenses and capital expenditures may increase in subsequent years as consultants, personnel and equipment associated with advancing exploration, development and commercial production of the Corporation’s properties. The Corporation expects to continue to incur losses unless and until such time as it enters into commercial production and generates sufficient revenues to fund its continuing operations. The development of the Corporation’s properties will require the commitment of substantial resources to conduct time-consuming exploration and development. There can be no assurance that the Corporation will ever generate positive operating cash flow or achieve profitability.
- 9 -
As at December 31, 2025, the Corporation’s cash balance was approximately US$129.3 million, and its working capital position was approximately US$123 million. The Corporation’s expected aggregate cash burn rate for the period from April 1, 2026 to March 31, 2027 is approximately US$82.0 million, which is currently budgeted to include the following expenditures on the Guayabales Project, including those associated with both Phase I and Phase II of the recommended exploration program outlined in the Technical Report: (i) exploration programs (approximately US$26.3 million); (ii) payments under existing option agreements and potential additional land acquisition costs (approximately US$17.6 million); and (iii) mining and engineering studies and underground exploration adit construction (approximately US$15.1 million). The Corporation also expects to incur approximately US$4.0 million in exploration activities on the San Antonio Project, with the remaining amounts to be used to fund logistics and security, sustainability, and general and administrative expenses (including payroll costs). Because the Corporation expects to complete the Phase I exploration program at the end of 2026 and commence the Phase II exploration program at beginning of 2027, the cash burn estimate includes expenditures that cover both Phase I and Phase II activities. Given its expected rate of cash burn, the Corporation expects to be able to continue operations and advance its business operations using its currently available non-contingent resources for at least 12 months from the date of this Prospectus. See “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information”.
Discretion in the Use of Proceeds
Management will have broad discretion concerning the use of the net proceeds from the offering of any Securities, as well as the timing of their expenditures. Depending on a number of factors, the intended use of proceeds from the offering of any Securities may change. As a result, an investor will be relying on the judgment of management for the application of the net proceeds from the offering of any Securities. Management may use the net proceeds from the offering of any Securities in ways that an investor may not consider desirable if they believe it would be in the best interests of the Corporation to do so. The results and the effectiveness of the application of proceeds from an offering of any Securities are uncertain. If the proceeds are not applied effectively, the Corporation’s results of operations may suffer.
No Market for the Securities
There is currently no trading market for any Debt Securities, Subscription Receipts, Warrants or Units that may be offered. No assurance can be given that an active or liquid trading market for these securities will develop or be sustained. If an active or liquid market for these securities fails to develop or be sustained, the prices at which these securities trade may be adversely affected. Whether or not these securities will trade at lower prices depends on many factors, including liquidity of these securities, prevailing interest rates and the markets for similar securities, the market price of the Corporation, general economic conditions and the Corporation’s financial condition, historic financial performance and future prospects.
Global Financial Conditions Can Reduce Share Prices and Limit Access to Financing
In recent years, global financial markets have been characterized by extreme volatility impacting many industries, including the mining industry. Global financial conditions remain subject to sudden and rapid destabilizations in response to future economic shocks, as government authorities may have limited resources to respond to future crises. A sudden or prolonged slowdown in the financial markets or other economic conditions, including but not limited to, consumer spending, employment rates, business conditions, inflation, fuel and energy costs, consumer debt levels, lack of available credit, the state of the financial markets, interest rates and tax rates, may adversely affect the Corporation’s growth and profitability. Future economic shocks may be precipitated by a number of causes, including, but not limited to, material changes in the price of oil and other commodities, the volatility of metal prices, governmental policies, geopolitical instability, war, terrorism, the devaluation and volatility of global stock markets and natural disasters. Any sudden or rapid destabilization of global economic conditions could impact the Corporation’s ability to obtain equity or debt financing in the future on terms favorable to the Corporation or at all. In such an event, the Corporation’s operations and financial condition could be adversely impacted.
LEGAL MATTERS
Unless otherwise specified in the Prospectus Supplement relating to an offering of Securities, certain legal matters relating to the offering of Securities will be passed upon on behalf of the Corporation by Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP with respect to matters of Canadian law. As at the date hereof, the partners and associates of Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP beneficially own, directly or indirectly, less than 1.0% of any registered or beneficial interests, direct or indirect, in any securities or other property of the Corporation or of any associate or affiliate of the Corporation. In addition, certain legal matters in connection with any offering of Securities will be passed upon for any underwriters, dealers or agents by counsel to be designated at the time of the offering by such underwriters, dealers or agents with respect to matters of Canadian and, if applicable, United States or other foreign laws.

STATUTORY AND CONTRACTUAL RIGHTS OF WITHDRAWAL AND RESCISSION
The following is a description of a purchaser’s statutory rights.
Securities legislation in some provinces and territories of Canada provides purchasers of securities with the right to withdraw from an agreement to purchase securities and with remedies for rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revisions of the price, or damages if the prospectus, prospectus supplement, and any amendment relating to securities purchased by a purchaser are not sent or delivered to the purchaser. This right may be exercised within two business days after receipt or deemed receipt of a prospectus and any amendment. However, purchasers of Securities distributed under an at-the-market distribution by the Corporation do not have the right to withdraw from an agreement to purchase the Securities and do not have remedies of rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revisions of the price, or damages for non-delivery of this Prospectus, any prospectus supplement(s), and any amendment relating to Securities purchased by such purchaser because this Prospectus, any prospectus supplement(s), and any amendment relating to the Securities purchased by such purchaser will not be sent or delivered, as permitted under Part 9 of NI 44-102.
Securities legislation in some provinces and territories of Canada further provides purchasers with remedies for rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revisions of the price or damages if this Prospectus, any prospectus supplement(s), and any amendment relating to securities purchased by a purchaser contains a misrepresentation. Those remedies must be exercised by the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by securities legislation. Any remedies under securities legislation that a purchaser of Securities distributed under an at-the-market distribution by the Corporation may have against the Corporation or its agents for rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revisions of the price, or damages if this Prospectus, any prospectus supplement(s), and any amendment relating to securities purchased by a purchaser contain a misrepresentation will remain unaffected by the non-delivery of the prospectus referred to above. A purchaser should refer to applicable securities legislation for the particulars of these rights and should consult a legal adviser.
Original purchasers of Securities which are convertible, exchangeable or exercisable for other securities of the Corporation will have a contractual right of rescission against the Corporation in respect of the conversion, exchange or exercise of such Securities. The contractual right of rescission will entitle such original purchasers to receive, upon surrender of the underlying securities, the amount paid for the applicable convertible, exchangeable or exercisable Securities, and any additional amount paid upon conversion, exchange or exercised of such Securities, in the event that this Prospectus, the relevant Prospectus Supplement or an amendment thereto contains a misrepresentation, provided that: (i) the conversion, exchange or exercise takes place within 180 days of the date of the purchase of such Securities under this Prospectus and the applicable Prospectus Supplement; and (ii) the right of rescission is exercised within 180 days of the date of the purchase of such Securities under this Prospectus and the applicable Prospectus Supplement. This contractual right of rescission will be consistent with the statutory right of rescission described under Section 130 of the Securities Act (Ontario), and is in addition to any other right or remedy available to original purchasers under Section 130 of the Securities Act (Ontario) or otherwise at law.
Original purchasers are further advised that in certain provinces and territories the statutory right of action for damages in connection with a prospectus misrepresentation is limited to the amount paid for the convertible, exchangeable or exercisable securities that were purchased under a prospectus and, therefore, a further payment at the time of conversion, exchange or exercise may not be recoverable in a statutory action for damages. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the province or territory in which the purchaser resides for the particulars of these rights, or consult with a legal adviser.

Ari Sussman, Executive Chairman and a director of the Corporation, Ned Jalil, Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, and María Constanza García Botero, Ashwath Mehra, Angela María Orozco Gómez, and Jasper Bertisen, each a director of the Corporation, each reside outside of Canada and have each appointed Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP, Suite 3200, Bay Adelaide Centre – North Tower, 40 Temperance Street, Toronto, Ontario M5H 0B4, as their agent for service of process in Canada.
