The Offering was completed pursuant to an agency agreement (the " Agency Agreement ") dated April 29, 2026, between Research Capital Corporation, as lead agent and bookrunner (the " Agent "), and the Company. "We are very pleased to close this financing with strong participation and continued support from our existing shareholder base," stated Hugh Rogers, Chief Executive Officer of Nexcel.

"The Offering was structured to provide the Company with sufficient capital to remain fully funded through the remainder of 2026 and beyond while minimizing shareholder dilution. Nexcel is now well-positioned to aggressively advance exploration and development activities at Burnt Hill, including its Phase I summer drill program, and continue progressing our broader critical minerals strategy in Canada." The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for exploration at the Burnt Hill Property, the Lac Ducharme Property option agreement payments, general and administrative costs, and general working capital, as more particularly described in the Prospectus Supplement.

Each Broker Warrant is exercisable to acquire one common share in the capital of the Company (a " Broker Warrant Share ") at an exercise price of $1.15 per Broker Warrant Share for a period of 24 months following the closing of the Offering. The Company also paid the Agent a corporate finance fee consisting of $50,000 in cash and $25,000 in Offered Shares (the " Corporate Finance Fee Shares ") issued at the Offering Price, plus applicable taxes. The Prospectus Supplement also qualified the distribution of the Broker Warrants and the Corporate Finance Fee Shares.

The Company granted the Agent an over-allotment option (the " Over-Allotment Option "), exercisable in full or in part at any time up to 30 days following the closing of the Offering, to arrange for the sale of up to 376,500 additional Offered Shares at the Offering Price, to cover over-allotments, if any, and for market stabilization purposes.
