VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / September 29, 2026 / Tungsten Eagle Development Corp. (formerly Patriot Resources Corp.) (the "Company") (CSE:MAGA) is pleased to announce that it has completed its previously announced fundamental change transaction (the "Transaction"), pursuant to which the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Tungsten Eagle (U.S.A.) Ltd. ("Subco"), has been granted an option to acquire a 100% interest in the Liberty Ridge Property, comprising 269 unpatented lode mining claims in Elko County, Nevada (the "Liberty Ridge Property"). In connection with the Transaction, the Company has consolidated its common shares (the "Shares"), changed its name to "Tungsten Eagle Development Corp.", closed a concurrent private placement for gross proceeds of $5,000,000, and received final approval to list the Shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE"). The Shares will commence trading on the CSE under the symbol "MAGA" at market open on September 30, 2026. All dollar amounts in this news release are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.
"Completing this transaction and listing on the CSE is an important milestone for Tungsten Eagle. With the Concurrent Financing closed, we are funded to begin work at Liberty Ridge, and our immediate focus is on permitting and the first phase of exploration on the property. I would like to thank our shareholders for their support through the transaction, and I welcome our new shareholders," said Fiona Keating, Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
Share Consolidation and Name Change
Effective September 29, 2026, the Company consolidated its Shares on the basis of one (1) post-consolidation Share for every two (2) pre-consolidation Shares (the "Consolidation") and changed its name from "Patriot Resources Corp." to "Tungsten Eagle Development Corp." (the "Name Change"). The Consolidation reduced the number of issued and outstanding Shares from 86,226,758 to 43,113,419 Shares, before giving effect to the Transaction and the Concurrent Financing (as defined below).
The new CUSIP number for the Shares is 899741102 and the new ISIN is CA8997411027. Registered shareholders holding certificated shares will receive a letter of transmittal from Odyssey Trust Company, the Company's transfer agent, with instructions for exchanging their existing share certificates. Shareholders who hold their Shares by DRS or through a broker or other intermediary do not need to take any action.
Option Agreement
The Company, Subco, Silver Tungsten Discoveries Corp. (formerly Tungsten Eagle Development Corp.) (the "Vendor") and Silver Tungsten Discoveries Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Vendor, entered into an option agreement dated September 29, 2026 (the "Option Agreement"), which supersedes the binding letter of intent dated January 29, 2026. The Vendor is an arm's length party to the Company. Under the Option Agreement, Subco may acquire a 100% interest in the Liberty Ridge Property by:
- the Company issuing to the Vendor (or its nominees) 5,000,000 Shares and 5,000,000 Share purchase warrants (the "Consideration Warrants") on closing of the Transaction (the "Initial Issuance"), which issuance has now been completed;
- subject to necessary permits being granted, incurring not less than $500,000 in exploration expenditures on the Liberty Ridge Property within one year;
- if the Company is satisfied with the results of that program, issuing a further 7,000,000 Shares and 7,000,000 Consideration Warrants within one year;
- subject to necessary permits being granted, incurring an additional $1,000,000 in exploration expenditures on a maiden drill program within two years; and
- if the Company is satisfied with the results of the drill program, issuing a final 8,000,000 Shares and 8,000,000 Consideration Warrants.
Each Consideration Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one Share at a price of $0.50 for two years from its date of issuance. On exercise of the option, the Vendor (or its nominee) will be granted a 2% net smelter returns royalty on the Liberty Ridge Property, of which the Company may repurchase 1% for US$1,000,000 and the remaining 1% for a further US$1,000,000. The Company may accelerate any of the share and warrant issuances at its discretion, and is not obligated to complete any exploration program or subsequent issuance.
Concurrent Financing
Concurrently with completion of the Transaction, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement (the "Concurrent Financing") of 10,000,000 units (the "Units") at a price of $0.50 per Unit for gross proceeds of $5,000,000. Each Unit consists of one Share and one-half of one Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Financing Warrant"). Each Financing Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one Share at a price of $1.00 for two years from the date of issuance, subject to acceleration, if, at any time the volume weighted average price of the Shares on the CSE is equal to or greater than $1.50 for 10 consecutive trading days, the Company may accelerate the expiry date of the Financing Warrants to the date that is 30 days following notice to the holders. The Financing Warrants are governed by a warrant indenture between the Company and Endeavor Trust Corporation.
In connection with the Concurrent Financing, the Company paid cash finder's fees totaling $145,401.27 to certain arm's length finders, being 7% of the gross proceeds from subscribers introduced by them.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Concurrent Financing for exploration of the Liberty Ridge Property and for general working capital, as more fully described in the Company's Listing Statement (as defined below).
Hold Periods and Resale Restrictions
All securities issued under the Concurrent Financing and the Initial Issuance are subject to a statutory hold period expiring four months and one day from the date of issuance, being January 30, 2027. In addition, the Shares issued under the Concurrent Financing are subject to a voluntary contractual resale restriction, under which 30% of such Shares will be released four months after issuance, a further 30% eight months after issuance, and the remaining 40% twelve months after issuance.
Related Party Participation
Foxtrot Consulting Inc., a company wholly owned by Fiona Keating, the Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company, purchased 139,000 Units, and Ryan Cheung, the Chief Financial Officer, Corporate Secretary and a director of the Company, purchased 200,000 Units under the Concurrent Financing. Each such participation is a "related party transaction" under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company is relying on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the securities issued to, nor the consideration paid by, the related parties exceeds 25% of the Company's market capitalization. The Company did not file a material change report at least 21 days before closing of the Concurrent Financing because the participation of the related parties was not finalized until shortly before closing, and the Company wished to close the Concurrent Financing concurrently with the Transaction.
Listing on the CSE
The CSE has granted final approval for the listing of the Shares, and the Company has been reclassified from an industrial issuer to a mining issuer. The Shares will commence trading on the CSE under the symbol "MAGA" at market open on September 30, 2026. Full details of the Transaction and the Company are set out in the Company's listing statement dated August 31, 2026, available on the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on the CSE website at www.thecse.com (the "Listing Statement").
Following completion of the Transaction and the Concurrent Financing, there are 58,113,419 Shares, 5,000,000 Consideration Warrants and 4,999,999 Financing Warrants issued and outstanding.
Board of Directors and Management
The board of directors of the Company consists of Fiona Keating, Ryan Cheung, Avrom E. Howard, Dominic Stann and Jason Latkowcer. The officers of the Company are Fiona Keating (Chief Executive Officer), Ryan Cheung (Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary) and Avrom E. Howard (Vice President, Exploration). The audit committee consists of Dominic Stann (Chair), Jason Latkowcer and Avrom E. Howard. The Company's 10% rolling omnibus equity incentive plan, approved by shareholders at the Company's annual general and special meeting held on September 21, 2026, became effective on completion of the Transaction and replaces the Company's stock option plan.
