(the “Vendor“), as previously disclosed in the Company’s news releases dated December 3, 2024, February 13, 2025 and March 12, 2025.

Name Change and Consolidation

The Company is also pleased to announce that it will implement the previously announced consolidation (the “Consolidation“) of its issued and outstanding common shares (the pre-Consolidation common shares in the authorized structure of the Company being referred to as, the “Common Shares“) on the basis of one (1) new common share in the authorized structure of the Company (the “Post-Consolidation Common Shares“) for each 2.5 old Common Shares, effective as of April 15, 2025. Concurrent with the Consolidation, the Company will also change its name from “Zincore Metals Inc.” to “Golden Cross Resources Inc.” (the “Name Change“).

The Consolidation and the Name Change are being completed in connection with the Proposed Transaction (as defined herein). As previously announced, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement dated effective December 3, 2024 (the “Definitive Agreement“) among the Company, the Vendor and 1513609 B.C. Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Vendor (“BC Subco“), pursuant to which, subject to regulatory approval, the Company will acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of BC Subco (the “Proposed Transaction“), which will hold, through an Australian subsidiary, a 100% interest in and to the Project.

Following the completion of the Proposed Transaction, the Company’s post-Consolidation Common Shares are expected to commence trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange“) under the new name and new ticker symbol, “AUX”. The new CUSIP number of the Post-Consolidation Common Shares will be 380887109 and the new ISIN number of the Post-Consolidation Common Shares will be CA3808871097.

The Company currently has 43,663,174 Common Shares issued and outstanding, and following the Consolidation, the Company will have approximately 17,465,269 Post-Consolidation Common Shares issued and outstanding, prior to rounding for fractional shares (excluding any shares to be issued in connection with the Proposed Transaction). No fractional Post-Consolidation Common Shares will be issued in connection with the Consolidation. In the event a holder of Common Shares would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional Post-Consolidation Common Share in connection with the Consolidation, the number of Post-Consolidation Common Shares to be received by such shareholder will be rounded down to the next whole number if that fractional Post-Consolidation Common Share is less than one-half (1/2) of a Post-Consolidation Common Share, and will be rounded up to the next whole number if that fractional Post-Consolidation Common Share is equal to or greater than one-half (1/2) of a Post-Consolidation Common Share.

Registered shareholders that hold physical Common Share certificates will receive a letter of transmittal requesting that they forward such Common Share certificates to the Company’s transfer agent, Olympia Trust Company, for exchange for new certificates representing Post-Consolidation Common Shares. Shareholders who hold their Common Shares through a broker or other intermediary and do not have Common Shares registered in their own name will not be required to complete a letter of transmittal.
