Item 1 Comment:
This Amendment No. 5 (this "Amendment") is being filed to update the percentage of shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons, and hereby amends and supplements the Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 1, 2021, as further amended on April 13, 2022, April 29, 2022, August 8, 2022 and August 27, 2025. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Statement. Except as amended or supplemented hereby, the information set forth in the Statement remains unchanged. | ||
| Item 3. | Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration | |
On November 13, 2025, the Issuer completed its transaction acquiring all of the issued and outstanding shares of Maritime Resources Corp. ("Maritime Resources") through a statutory plan of arrangement pursuant to Division 5 of Part 9 of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), whereby each Maritime Resources shareholder received, in exchange for one share of Maritime Resources, 0.75 Common Shares of the Issuer (the "Maritime Transaction"). Prior to the Maritime Transaction, 2176423 Ontario was the owner of record of 10,255,000 shares of Maritime Resources and warrants to purchase 2,666,700 shares of Maritime Resources. As a result of the Maritime Transaction, 2176423 Ontario's shares of Maritime Resources and warrants to purchase shares of Maritime Resources were exchanged for 7,691,250 Common Shares of the Issuer and warrants to purchase 2,000,025 Common Shares of the Issuer. No funds or other consideration other than the shares of Maritime Resources and warrants to purchase shares of Maritime Resources were used by 2176423 Ontario to acquire the Common Shares and warrants to purchase Common Shares described herein. | ||
| Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer | |
| (a) | Item 5 is hereby amended to read: The information provided on the cover pages to this Statement are hereby incorporated by reference. As of the close of business on November 13, 2025, the Reporting Persons acquired or have been granted, and for the purposes of Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, beneficially own, an aggregate of 65,915,290 Common Shares, which represents approximately 19.42% of the Common Shares Outstanding. Although the Reporting Persons acquired an additional 7,691,250 Common Shares of the Issuer and warrants to purchase 2,000,025 Common Shares of the Issuer in the Maritime Transaction, the Maritime Transaction resulted in the Issuer issuing an additional 94,254,209 Common Shares, which in the aggregate was dilutive to the Reporting Persons and resulted in a decrease of holdings of approximately 3.7% of the Common Shares Outstanding from what was reported in Amendment No. 4. | |
| (b) | The responses in rows 7, 8, 9 and 10 of the cover pages to this Statement are hereby incorporated by reference. | |
| (c) | Except for the transaction described in Item 3 of this Statement, the Reporting Persons have not engaged in any transaction during the past 60 days involving the Common Shares of the Issuer. | |
| (d) | No person, other than the Reporting Persons, is known by the Reporting Persons to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, Common Shares reported in this Statement. | |
| (e) | Not applicable. | |
| SIGNATURE | |
After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
