The Company has filed a registration statement on Form

with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the United States Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”). The U.S. Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC on [●],
2024.
The specific terms of any Securities offered will
be described in one or more shelf prospectus supplements (collectively or individually, as the case may be, a “Prospectus Supplement”),
and may include, where applicable: (i) in the case of Common Shares, the number of Common Shares being offered, the offering price and
any other specific terms; (ii) in the case of Debt Securities, the specific designation, aggregate principal amount, whether payment on
the Debt Securities will be senior or subordinated to the issuer’s other liabilities and obligations, denomination (which may be
in U.S. dollars or any other currency or in units based on or relating to foreign currencies), maturity date, interest rate (which may
be fixed or variable) or method of determining the interest rates, any conversion or exchange rates attached to the Debt Securities, whether

Prospectus Supplement may include specific variable terms pertaining to the Securities that are not within the alternatives and parameters
described in this Prospectus.
All shelf information permitted under applicable laws
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. Each Prospectus Supplement will be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Prospectus for the purposes
of securities legislation as of the date of such Prospectus Supplement and only for the purposes of the distribution of the Securities
to which the Prospectus Supplement pertains. Investors should read the Prospectus and any applicable Prospectus Supplement carefully before
investing in the Securities.
This offering is made by a Canadian issuer that
is permitted, under a multijurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the United States, to prepare this prospectus in accordance with
the disclosure requirements of its home country. Prospective investors should be aware that such requirements are different from those
of the United States. Financial statements included or incorporated herein, if any, have been prepared in accordance with foreign generally
accepted accounting principles, and may be subject to foreign auditing and auditor independence standards, and thus may not be comparable
to financial statements of United States companies.
Prospective investors should be aware that the acquisition
of the securities described herein may have tax consequences both in the United States and in the home country of the Company. Such consequences
for investors who are resident in, or citizens of, the United States may not be described fully herein.
The enforcement by investors of civil liabilities
under the federal securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that the Registrant is incorporated or organized under the laws
of a foreign country, that some or all of its officers and directors may be residents of a foreign country, that some or all of the underwriters
or experts named in the registration statement may be residents of a foreign country, and that all or a substantial portion of the assets
of the Registrant and said persons may be located outside the United States.
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED
BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR HAS THE COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION
TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.
The Company may sell Securities to or through underwriters
or dealers purchasing as principals and may also offer and sell the Securities to one or more purchasers directly or through agents, subject
to any exemption from registration requirements, from time to time. 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 Securities, and will set forth the
method of distribution of such Securities, including, to the extent applicable, the proceeds to the Company and any fees, discounts or
other compensation payable to such underwriters, dealers or agents and any other material terms of the plan of distribution.
In connection with any offering of Securities other
than an “at-the-market distribution” (unless otherwise specified in the relevant Prospectus Supplement), the underwriters
or agents may over-allot or effect transactions which stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities offered at levels other
than those which might otherwise prevail on the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be interrupted or discontinued at any
time. No underwriter or dealer involved in an “at-the-market distribution” under this Prospectus, no affiliate or of such
an underwriter or dealer and no person or company acting jointly or in concert with such underwriter or dealer will over-allot securities
in connection with such distribution or affect any other transactions that are intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the
Securities. In the event of an underwritten offering of Securities, in certain circumstances, the underwriters, dealers or agents may
offer the Securities at a price lower than the offering prices stated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. See "Plan of distribution.”
The outstanding Common Shares are listed on the Toronto
Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) under the symbol “TRX” and on the NYSE American (the “NYSE American”)
under the symbol “TRX”. The closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX and on the NYSE American on December 11,
2024, the last trading day before the date of this Prospectus, was Cdn$0.49 and US$0.355, respectively, per Common Share.
There is no market through which the Debt Securities,
Warrants or Units may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell such securities purchased under this Prospectus. This may affect
the pricing of the Debt Securities, Warrants and Units in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the
liquidity of such securities, and the extent of issuer regulation. See “Risk Factors — No Market for Debt Securities,
Warrants or Units”.
An investment in the Securities involves a high degree
of risk and must be considered speculative due to the nature of the Company’s business, the present stage of development of its
mineral projects and the fact that the Company does not yet have revenue-generating activities. Prospective investors should carefully
consider the risk factors described in and incorporated by reference into this Prospectus. See “Cautionary Statement regarding Forward-Looking
Information” and “Risk Factors” in this Prospectus.
No underwriter has been involved in the preparation
of the Prospectus or performed any review of the contents of the Prospectus.
The Company’s registered address is 400 3rd Avenue
SW, Suite 3700, Calgary, AB T2P 4H2, and head office is located at 277 Lakeshore Road East, Suite 403, Oakville, Ontario, L6J 1H9.

this Prospectus, and will be deemed to be incorporated into this Prospectus as of the date of such Prospectus Supplement, but only for

NOTICE TO INVESTORS REGARDING
IFRS
The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance
with IFRS. The Annual Financial Statements and the corresponding Annual MD&A, incorporated by reference in this Prospectus, have been
prepared in accordance with IFRS.
RESOURCE AND RESERVE ESTIMATES
This Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference
herein have been prepared in accordance with Canadian standards for the reporting of mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates, which
differ from the previous and current standards of the United States securities laws. In particular, and without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the terms “mineral reserve”, “proven mineral reserve”, “probable mineral reserve”,
“inferred mineral resources,”, “indicated mineral resources,” “measured mineral resources” and “mineral
resources” used or referenced in this Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein are Canadian mineral disclosure
terms as defined in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI
43-101”) and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the “CIM”) – CIM Definition Standards
on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended (the “CIM Definition Standards”).
For United States reporting purposes, the SEC has adopted
amendments to its disclosure rules (the “SEC Modernization Rules”) to modernize the mining property disclosure requirements
for issuers whose securities are registered with the SEC under the U.S. Exchange Act. The SEC Modernization Rules more closely align the
SEC’s disclosure requirements and policies for mining properties with current industry and global regulatory practices and standards,
including NI 43-101, and replace the historical property disclosure requirements for mining registrants that were included in Industry
Guide 7 under the U.S. Securities Act. As a foreign private issuer that is eligible to file reports with the SEC pursuant to the MJDS,
the Company is not required to provide disclosure on its mineral properties under the SEC Modernization Rules and provides disclosure
under NI 43-101 and the CIM Definition Standards. Accordingly, mineral reserve and mineral resource information contained or incorporated
by reference herein may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by United States companies. As a result of the adoption of
the SEC Modernization Rules, the SEC now recognizes estimates of “measured mineral resources”, “indicated mineral resources”
and “inferred mineral resources”. In addition, the SEC has amended its definitions of “proven mineral reserves”
and “probable mineral reserves” to be “substantially similar” to the corresponding definitions under the CIM Standards,
as required under NI 43-101.
United States investors are cautioned that while the
above terms are “substantially similar” to the corresponding CIM Definition Standards, there are differences in the definitions
under the SEC Modernization Rules and the CIM Standards. Accordingly, there is no assurance any mineral reserves or mineral resources
that the Company may report as “proven mineral reserves”, “probable mineral reserves”, “measured mineral
resources”, “indicated mineral resources” and “inferred mineral resources” under NI 43-101 would be the
same had the Company prepared the reserve or resource estimates under the standards adopted under the SEC Modernization Rules.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING
FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
Certain information in this Prospectus and the documents
incorporated by reference herein may constitute “forward-looking information”, as such term is used in applicable Canadian
securities legislation, about the Company including its financial condition, results of operations, business strategies, operating efficiencies,
synergies, revenue enhancements, competitive positions, plans and objectives of management and growth opportunities of the Company, various
matters with respect to the markets for Common Shares and Debt Securities and other matters. Forward-looking information generally can
be identified by the use of words such as “outlook”, “objective”, “may”, “might”, “will”,
“expect”, “intend”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “should”,
“plans”, “continue” or similar expressions suggesting future outcomes or events.
Material factors or assumptions that were applied in
providing forward-looking information, include, but are not limited to the Company’s future growth potential, its results of operations,
future cash flows, the continued performance and business prospects and opportunities of the Company, the completion of certain transactions,
the Company’s ability to continue to develop and grow, the Company’s future levels of indebtedness, and the tax laws as currently
in effect remaining unchanged and the current general regulatory environment and economic conditions remaining unchanged. Many of these
factors or assumptions could affect the Company’s actual results and could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially
from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statement made by the Company or on its behalf.
Forward-looking information contained in this Prospectus
reflects management’s current expectations regarding future events and operating performance and speaks only as of the date of this
Prospectus. Such forward-looking information is based on currently available competitive, financial and economic data and operating plans
and is subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements
of the Company, or general industry results, to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed
or implied by such forward-looking information. Examples of such forward-looking information include, but are not limited to, statements
with respect to the following:
| · | the ability to achieve production, cost and capital guidance; |
| · | the ability to advance drill plans; |
| · | the success of mining, processing, exploration and development activities; |
| · | the Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash flow to service
its debt obligations or implement its business plan, including financing internal or external growth opportunities; |
| · | the estimation and realization of mineral reserves and mineral resources;
|
| · | expectations regarding maintenance and capital expenditures; and |
| · | the impact of legislative, regulatory, competitive, technological and environmental
changes. |
Forward-looking information involves significant risks
and uncertainties, should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be an accurate indication
of the times at or by which such performance or results will be achieved. In addition, a number of factors could cause actual results
to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking information, including, but not limited to, the other risk factors
under the heading “Risk Factors” in this Prospectus, and other risk factors relating to the Company and the mining industry,
as detailed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the SEC and the Canadian Securities Administrators, including, without
limitation, the Company’s most recent AIF. The impact of any one factor on a particular piece of forward-looking information is
not determinable with certainty as such factors are interdependent upon other factors, and management’s course of action would depend
upon its assessment of the future considering all information then available.
The Company’s business is both highly competitive
and subject to various risks. Should any risk factor affect the Company in an unexpected manner, or should assumptions underlying the
forward-looking information prove incorrect, the actual results or events may differ materially from the results or events predicted.
Unless otherwise indicated, forward-looking information does not take into account the effect that transactions or non-recurring or other
special items announced or occurring after the date it is provided may have on the business of the Company. All of the forward-looking
information reflected in this Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein are qualified by these cautionary statements.
There can be no assurance that the results or developments anticipated by the Company will be realized or, even if substantially realized,
that they will have the expected consequences for the Company. Forward-looking information is provided and forward-looking statements
are made as of the date of this Prospectus and except as may be required by applicable law, the Company disclaims any intention and assumes
no obligation to publicly update or revise such forward-looking information or forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise.
THE COMPANY
TRX Gold Corporation was originally incorporated under
the name “424547 Alberta Ltd.” in the Province of Alberta on July 5, 1990, under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta).
The name was changed to “Tan Range Exploration Corporation” on August 13, 1991. The name of the Company was again changed
to “Tanzanian Royalty Exploration Corporation” on February 28, 2006. Subsequently, at the 2019 Annual Meeting, the shareholders
approved a change of name to Tanzanian Gold Corporation. The name changed to Tanzanian Gold Corporation became effective in the Province
of Alberta, Canada on April 17, 2019. The Articles of the Company were further amended on May 24, 2022, to change the name of the Company
to its present name of “TRX Gold Corporation”. The Articles of the Company were further amended on February 23, 2023, to allow
for meetings of shareholders to be held in any location or manner as determined by the board. The Company is also registered in the Province
of British Columbia as an extra-provincial company under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).
The principal executive office of the Company is
located at 277 Lakeshore Road East, Suite 403, Oakville, Ontario, L6J 1H9, and its telephone number is 1.647.515.3310. We maintain a website
at http://www.trxgold.com. Information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website is not part of this prospectus.
The Company’s main area of interest has been
in the exploration and development of gold properties, with a primary focus on exploring for and developing gold properties in the United
Republic of Tanzania (“Tanzania”). Tanzania remains the focus of the Company’s exploration and development activities.
The Company’s primary asset is its interest in the Buckreef Gold Project, a joint venture that is 55% owned by one of the Company’s
subsidiaries (TRX Gold Tanzania Limited) and 45% is owned by the State Mining Corporation (“STAMICO”), a Governmental agency
of Tanzania.
The Company is rapidly advancing the Buckreef Gold
Project. Anchored by a Mineral Resource published in May 2020, the project currently hosts an NI 43-101 Measured and Indicated Mineral
Resource (“M&I Resource”) of 35.88 million tonnes (“MT”) at 1.77 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold
containing 2,036,280 ounces (“oz”) of gold and an Inferred Mineral Resource of 17.8 MT at 1.11 g/t gold for 635,540 oz of
gold. The leadership team is focused on creating both near-term and long-term shareholder value by increasing gold production to generate
positive cash flow. The positive cash flow will be utilized for exploratory drilling with the goal of increasing the current mineral resource
base and advancing the larger project development which represents 90% of current mineral resources. The Company’s actions are guided
by the highest environmental, social and corporate governance (“ESG”) standards, evidenced by the relationships and programs
that the Company has developed during its nearly two decades of presence in the Geita Region, Tanzania. Please refer to the Company’s
NI 43-101.
RECENT
DEVELOPMENTS
The Company’s Buckreef Gold Project produced
19,389 ounces in fiscal 2024, in line with revised full year production guidance, and sold approximately 19,075 ounces of gold. This compares
to production of approximately 20,759 ounces of gold and sales of 20,864 ounces of gold in fiscal 2023.
The Company expects an increase in
throughput and production in fiscal 2025, reflecting a full year of operations from the expanded 2,000 tonnes per day processing plant
that was fully commissioned at the end of the fourth quarter 2024. The Company is working on optimizing mill efficiency and is in the
process of developing finer grinding initiatives to achieve higher gold recoveries. Additionally, the Company expects to substantially
increase exploration drilling in F2025, with a focus on high-priority gold zones, such as Stamford Bridge, as well as Buckreef Main, Buckreef
West, Anfield and Eastern Porphyry. The newly discovered Stamford Bridge Zone is highly prospective and may become a bridge between the
Buckreef Main Zone, Eastern Porphyry and Anfield Zones.
CONSOLIDATED CAPITALIZATION
There have been no material changes in the share and
loan capital of the Company, on a consolidated basis, since August 31st, 2024 (the period end of the most recently filed consolidated
annual financial statements of the company incorporated by reference in this prospectus). As of the date of this Prospectus, there were
280,734,827 Common Shares issued and outstanding, as well as 36,190,769 Warrants, 14,874,000 stock options, and 964,026 Restricted Stock
Units of the Company which, if exercised or settled, would result in the issuance of an additional 332,763,623 Common Shares. The applicable
Prospectus Supplement will describe any material change in, and the effect of such material change on, the share and loan capital of the
Company that will result from the issuance of securities pursuant to such Prospectus Supplement.
USE OF PROCEEDS
Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus
supplement, information incorporated by reference or free writing prospectus, we intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of securities
for capital expenditures, continued exploration, development, acquisitions, general corporate purposes and working capital.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Company may sell Securities to or through underwriters
or dealers and may also sell Securities to one or more other purchasers directly or through agents, subject to any exemption from registration
requirements. The Securities may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed,
or at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or negotiated prices, including
sales in transactions that are deemed to be “at-the- market distributions” as defined in National Instrument 44-102 –
Shelf Distributions (“NI 44-102”), including sales made directly on the NYSE American or TSX or other existing
trading markets for the Securities. Any such transactions that are deemed “at-the-market-distributions” will be subject to
regulatory approval.
Each Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular
offering of Securities will set forth the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any underwriters, dealers or agents and
the method of distribution of such Securities, including, to the extent applicable, the initial offering price of the Securities, the
proceeds to the Company and any fees, discounts or other compensation payable to such underwriters, dealers or agents and any other material
terms of the plan of distribution.
Underwriters, dealers and agents who participate in
the distribution of Securities may be entitled under agreements to be entered into with the Company to indemnification by the Company
against certain liabilities, including liabilities under securities legislation, or to contribution with respect to payments which they
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 Company in the ordinary course of business.
Any offering of Debt Securities, 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, Warrants or Units will not be listed on any securities exchange. Certain dealers may make a market in the Debt Securities,
Warrants or Units, 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 the Debt Securities, Warrants or Units or as to the liquidity of the trading market, if
any, for such securities.
In connection with any offering of Securities (other
than an “at-the-market distribution” and unless otherwise specified in the relevant Prospectus Supplement), the underwriters,
dealers or agents may over- allot or effect transactions which stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities offered at levels
other than those which might otherwise prevail on the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time. A
purchaser that acquires Securities forming part of an over-allocation position acquires such Securities under this Prospectus, regardless
of whether the over-allocation position is ultimately filled through the exercise of the over-allotment option or secondary market purchases.
No underwriter, dealer or agent, no affiliate of such an underwriter, dealer or agent and no person acting jointly or in concert with
such an underwriter, dealer or agent involved in an “at-the-market distribution” will over- allot Securities in connection
with such distribution or effect any other transactions that are intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities.
In the event of an underwritten offering of Securities,
the underwriters, dealers or agents propose to offer the Securities to the public at the offering price stated in the applicable Prospectus
Supplement. After a reasonable effort has been made to sell all of the Securities at the offering price, the underwriters, dealers or
agents may subsequently reduce and thereafter change, from time to time, the price at which the Securities are offered; provided that
the Securities are not at any time offered at a price greater than the offering price. The compensation realized by such underwriters,
dealers or agents 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, dealers or agents to the Company.
EARNING COVERAGE RATIO
Earnings coverage ratios will be provided in the
applicable Prospectus Supplement(s) with respect to any issuance and sale of Debt Securities pursuant to this Prospectus.
PRIOR SALES
Information in respect of the common shares that
the Company issued within the previous 12-month period, including Shares that the Company issued either upon the exercise of options,
or any other equity compensation plan, will be provided as required in a Prospectus Supplement with respect to the issuance of securities
pursuant to such Prospectus Supplement.
DIVIDEND POLICY
The Company has not declared or paid any dividends
on its Common Shares since the date of its incorporation. The Company intends to retain its earnings, if any, to finance the growth and
development of its business and does not expect to pay dividends or to make any other distributions in the near future. The Company's
board of directors will review this policy from time to time having regard to the Company’s financing requirements, financial condition,
and other factors considered to be relevant.
DESCRIPTION OF COMMON SHARES
The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number
of Common Shares without par value. As of the date of this Prospectus, there were 280,734,827 Common Shares issued and outstanding as
fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares.
Each holder of Common Shares is entitled to one vote
for each share on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders, and each holder does not have cumulative voting rights. Accordingly,
the holders of a majority of the Common Shares entitled to vote in any election of directors can elect all of the directors standing for
election, if they so choose.
Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any
then outstanding preferred stock, holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive ratably those dividends, if any, as may be declared
from time to time by the board of directors out of legally available funds. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up,
holders of Common Shares will be entitled to share ratably in the net assets legally available for distribution to shareholders after
the payment of all of our debts and other liabilities and the satisfaction of any liquidation preference granted to the holders of any
outstanding preferred shares.
Holders of Common Shares have no pre-emptive or conversion
rights or other subscription rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common share. All outstanding
Common Shares are, and the Common Shares offered by us in this offering, when issued and paid for, will be fully paid and non-assessable.
The rights, preferences and privileges of the Common Shares are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders
of shares of any series of preferred share which we may designate in the future.
DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS
General
We may issue Warrants to purchase Common Shares. We
may issue the Warrants independently or together with any underlying securities, and the Warrants may be attached or separate from the
underlying securities. We may also issue a series of Warrants under a separate warrant agreement to be entered into between us and a warrant
agent. The warrant agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the Warrants of such series and will not assume any obligation
or relationship of agency for or with holders or beneficial owners of Warrants.
The following description is a summary of selected
provisions relating to the Warrants that we may issue. The summary is not complete. When Warrants are offered in the future, a prospectus
supplement, information incorporated by reference or a free writing prospectus, as applicable, will explain the particular terms of those
securities and the extent to which these general provisions may apply. The specific terms of the Warrants as described in a prospectus
supplement, information incorporated by reference, or free writing prospectus will supplement and, if applicable, may modify or replace
the general terms described in this section.
This summary and any description of Warrants in the
applicable prospectus supplement, information incorporated by reference or free writing prospectus is subject to and is qualified in its
entirety by reference to all the provisions of any specific warrant document or agreement. We will file each of these documents, as applicable,
with the SEC and incorporate them by reference as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part on or before
the time we issue a series of Warrants.
When we refer to a series of Warrants, we mean all
Warrants issued as part of the same series under the applicable warrant agreement.

by reference or free writing prospectus, may describe the terms of any Warrants that we may offer, including, but not limited to, the
following:

Warrant Agreement
We may issue the Warrants in one or more series under
one or more warrant agreements, each to be entered into between us and a bank, trust company, or other financial institution as warrant
agent. We may add, replace, or terminate warrant agents from time to time. We may also choose to act as our own warrant agent or may choose
one of our subsidiaries to do so.
The warrant agent under a warrant agreement will act
solely as our agent in connection with the Warrants issued under that agreement. Any holder of Warrants may, without the consent of any
other person, enforce by appropriate legal action, on its own behalf, its right to exercise those Warrants in accordance with their terms.
Form, Exchange and Transfer
We may issue the Warrants in registered form or bearer
form. Warrants issued in registered form, i.e. book-entry form, will be represented by a global security registered in the name of a depository,
which will be the holder of all the Warrants represented by the global security. Those investors who own beneficial interests in a global
warrant will do so through participants in the depository’s system and the rights of these indirect owners will be governed solely
by the applicable procedures of the depository and its participants. In addition, we may issue Warrants in non-global form, i.e. bearer
form. If any Warrants are issued in non-global form, warrant certificates may be exchanged for new warrant certificates of different denominations,
and holders may exchange, transfer, or exercise their Warrants at the warrant agent’s office or any other office indicated in the
applicable prospectus supplement, information incorporated by reference or free writing prospectus.
Prior to the exercise of their Warrants, holders of
Warrants exercisable for common shares will not have any rights of holders of common share and will not be entitled to dividend payments,
if any, or voting rights of the common shares.
Exercise of Warrants
A warrant will entitle the holder to purchase for cash
an amount of securities at an exercise price that will be stated in, or that will be determinable as described in, the applicable prospectus
supplement or information incorporated by reference. Warrants may be exercised at any time up to the close of business on the expiration
date set forth in the applicable offering material. After the close of business on the expiration date, unexercised Warrants will become
void. Warrants may be redeemed as set forth in the applicable offering material.
Warrants may be exercised as set forth in the applicable
offering material. Upon receipt of payment and the warrant certificate properly completed and duly executed at the corporate trust office
of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in the applicable offering material, we will forward, as soon as practicable, the securities
purchasable upon such exercise. If less than all of the Warrants represented by such warrant certificate are exercised, a new warrant
certificate will be issued for the remaining Warrants.
DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES
General
We may issue debt securities which may or may not be
converted into Common Shares. We may issue the debt securities independently or together with any underlying securities, and Warrants
may be attached or separate from the underlying securities. In connection with the issuance of any debt securities, we do not intend to
issue them pursuant to a trust indenture.
The following description is a summary of selected
provisions relating to the debt securities that we may issue. The summary is not complete. When debt securities are offered in the future,
a prospectus supplement, information incorporated by reference or a free writing prospectus, as applicable, will explain the particular
terms of those securities and the extent to which these general provisions may apply. The specific terms of the debt securities as described
in a prospectus supplement, information incorporated by reference, or free writing prospectus will supplement and, if applicable, may
modify or replace the general terms described in this section.
This summary and any description of debt securities
in the applicable prospectus supplement, information incorporated by reference is subject to and is qualified in its entirety by reference
to all the provisions of any specific debt securities document or agreement. We will file each of these documents, as applicable, with
the SEC and incorporate them by reference as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part on or before
the time we issue a series of Warrants. See “Where You Can Find Additional Information” and “Incorporation of Certain
Information by Reference” above for information on how to obtain a copy of a debt security document when it is filed.

Form, Exchange and Transfer
We may issue the debt securities in registered form
or bearer form. Debt securities issued in registered form, i.e., book-entry form, will be represented by a global security registered

these indirect owners will be governed solely by the applicable procedures of the depository and its participants. In addition, we may
issue Warrants in non-global form, i.e. bearer form. If any debt securities are issued in non-global form, debt securities certificates
may be exchanged for new warrant certificates of different denominations, and holders may exchange, transfer, or exercise their Warrants

of debt securities exercisable for shares of debt securities will not have any rights of holders of Common Shares, and will not be entitled
to dividend payments, if any, or voting rights of the Common Shares.
Conversion of Debt Securities
A debt security may entitle the holder to purchase,
in exchange for the extinguishment of debt, an amount of securities at an exercise price that will be stated in the debt security. Debt
securities may be converted at any time up to the close of business on the expiration date set forth in the terms of such debt security.
After the close of business on the expiration date, debt securities not exercised will be paid in accordance with their terms.
Debt securities may be converted as set forth in the
applicable offering material. Upon receipt of a notice of conversion properly completed and duly executed at the corporate trust office
of the indenture agent, if any, or to us, we will forward, as soon as practicable, the securities purchasable upon such exercise. If less
than all of the debt security represented by such security is converted, a new debt security will be issued for the remaining debt security.
DESCRIPTION OF UNITS
We may issue units composed of any combination of our
common share and Warrants. We will issue each unit so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the
unit. As a result, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. The unit agreement
under which a unit is issued may provide that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately, at any time
or at any time before a specified date.
The following description is a summary of selected
provisions relating to units that we may offer. The summary is not complete. When units are offered in the future, a prospectus supplement,
information incorporated by reference or a free writing prospectus, as applicable, will explain the particular terms of those securities

incorporated by reference, or free writing prospectus will supplement and, if applicable, may modify or replace the general terms described
in this section.

prospectus supplement, information incorporated by reference or free writing prospectus is subject to and is qualified in its entirety
by reference to the unit agreement, collateral arrangements and depositary arrangements, if applicable. We will file each of these documents,
as applicable, with the SEC and incorporate them by reference as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is
a part on or before the time we issue a series of units. See “Where You Can Find Additional Information” and “Incorporation
of Certain Information by Reference” above for information on how to obtain a copy of a document when it is filed.

RISK FACTORS
Prospective investors in a particular offering of the
Securities should carefully consider, in addition to information contained in the Prospectus Supplement relating to such offering and
the information incorporated, or deemed to be incorporated, by reference herein, including the risk factors, uncertainties and additional
information set forth in the Company’s most recent annual information form, for the purposes of such offering, and the risk factors
listed below.
No Market for Debt Securities, Warrants or Units
There is currently no market through which Debt Securities,
Warrants or Units that may be offered under this Prospectus and any Prospectus Supplement may be sold, and purchasers of such securities
may not be able to resell such securities. No assurance can be given that an active or liquid trading market for the Debt Securities,
Warrants or Units will develop or, if developed, that such market will be sustained. This may affect the pricing of the Debt Securities,
Warrants and Units in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices and the liquidity of such securities.
The public offering prices of the Debt Securities, Warrants and Units may be determined by negotiation between the Company and underwriters
based on several factors and may bear no relationship to prices at which such securities will trade in the public market subsequent to
such offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”
The Company’s exploration and development activities are highly
speculative and involve substantial risks
Except for the Buckreef Gold Project, all of the
other Company’s exploration prospects on the Company’s special mining license (“SML”) are in the exploration stage
and no mineral reserves have been established. The Company’s exploration work may not result in the discovery of mineable deposits
of ore in a commercially economical manner. There may be limited availability of water, which is essential to milling operations, and
interruptions may be caused by adverse weather conditions. The Company’s future operations, if any, are subject to a variety of
existing laws and regulations relating to exploration and development, permitting procedures, safety precautions, property reclamation,
employee health and safety, air quality standards, pollution and other environmental protection controls.
The Company has uninsurable risks
The Company’s business is capital intensive
and subject to a number of risks and hazards, including environmental pollution, accidents or spills, industrial and transportation accidents,
labour disputes, changes in the regulatory environment, natural phenomena (such as inclement weather conditions, earthquakes, pit wall
failures and cave-ins) and encountering unusual or unexpected geological conditions. Many of the foregoing risks and hazards could result
in damage to, or destruction of the Company’s mineral properties or future processing facilities, personal injury or death, environmental
damage, delays in or interruption of or cessation of their exploration or development activities, delay in or inability to receive regulatory
approvals to transport their products, or costs, monetary losses and potential legal liability and adverse governmental action. The Company
may be subject to liability or sustain loss for certain risks and hazards against which they do not or cannot insure or which it may reasonably
elect not to insure. This lack of insurance coverage could result in material economic harm to the Company.
The Company depends on key personnel
The senior officers of the Company will be critical
to its success as will recruiting qualified personnel as the Company grows. The number of persons skilled in the acquisition, exploration
and development of mining properties is limited and competition, worldwide, for such persons is intense. As the Company’s business
activity grows, it will require additional key financial, administrative, regulatory, and mining personnel as well as additional operations
staff. If the Company is not successful in attracting and training qualified personnel, the efficiency of its operations could be affected,
which could have an adverse impact on future cash flows, earnings, results of operations and the financial condition of the Company.
Certain Company directors or officers may have a conflict of interest
Directors and officers of the Company are or may
become directors or officers of other reporting companies or have significant shareholdings in other mineral resource companies and, to
the extent that such other companies may participate in ventures in which the Company may participate, the directors and officers of the
Company may have a conflict of interest in negotiating and concluding terms respecting the extent of such participation. The Company and
its directors and officers will attempt to minimize such conflicts. In the event that such a conflict of interest arises at a meeting
of the directors of the Company, a director who has such a conflict will abstain from voting for or against the approval of such participation
or such terms. In appropriate cases the Company may establish a special committee of independent directors to review a matter in which
one or more directors, or officers, may have a conflict. In determining whether or not the Company will participate in a particular program
and the interest therein to be acquired by it, the directors will primarily consider the potential benefits to the Company, the degree
of risk to which the Company may be exposed and its financial position at that time.
The Company has a limited property portfolio
Currently, the Company holds an interest in the Buckreef
Gold Project, the Company’s principal property. As a result, unless the Company develops its other properties or acquires additional
property interests, any adverse developments affecting the Buckreef Gold Project could have a material adverse effect upon the Company
and would materially and adversely affect the potential future mineral resource production, profitability, financial performance and results
of operations of the Company.
The Company is subject to growth-related risks
The Company may be subject to growth-related risks
including capacity constraints and pressure on its internal systems and controls, as well as on its employee base. The ability of the
Company to manage growth effectively will require it to continue to implement and improve its operational and financial systems and to
expand, train and manage its employee base. The inability of the Company to deal with this growth may have a material adverse effect on
the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Foreign corrupt practices legislation
The Company is subject to the Foreign Corrupt
Practices Act (the “FCPA”), the Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act (Canada) (“CFPOA”), the
U. S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, and other laws that prohibit improper payments or offers of payments to
foreign governments and their officials and political parties by persons and issuers as defined by the statutes, for the purpose of obtaining
or retaining business. It is the Company’s policy to implement safeguards to discourage these practices by its employees; however,
its existing safeguards and any future improvements may prove to be less than effective, and the Company’s employees, consultants,
sales agents or distributors may engage in conduct for which the Company might be held responsible. Any such violation could result in
substantial fines, sanctions, civil and/or criminal penalties, curtailment of operations in certain jurisdictions, and might adversely
affect the Company’s business, results of operations or financial condition. In addition, actual or alleged violations could damage
the Company’s reputation and ability to do business. Furthermore, detecting, investigating, and resolving actual or alleged violations
is expensive and could consume significant time and attention of management.
Security breaches and other disruptions could compromise the Company’s
information and expose it to liability, which would cause its business and reputation to suffer
In the ordinary course of the Company’s business,
it collects and stores sensitive data, including intellectual property, its proprietary business information and that of its business
partners, and personally identifiable information of its employees in its data centers and on its networks. The secure processing, maintenance
and transmission of this information is critical to the Company’s operations and business strategy. Despite its security measures,
the information technology and infrastructure may be vulnerable to attacks by hackers or breached due to employee error, malfeasance or
other disruptions. Any such breach could compromise the Company’s networks and the information stored there could be accessed, publicly
disclosed, lost or stolen. Any such access, disclosure or other loss of information could result in legal claims or proceedings, potential
liability under laws that protect the privacy of personal information, and potential regulatory penalties, disrupt the Company’s
operations and damage its reputation, and cause a loss of confidence in the Company, which could adversely affect its business and competitive
position.
The Company may be characterized as a passive foreign investment company
The Company may be characterized as a passive foreign
investment company (“PFIC”). If the Company is determined to be a PFIC, its U.S. shareholders may suffer adverse tax consequences.
Under the PFIC rules, for any taxable year that the Company’s passive income or its assets that produce passive income exceed specified
levels, the Company will be characterized as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This characterization could result in adverse
U.S. tax consequences for the Company’s U.S. shareholders, which may include having certain distributions on its Common Shares and
gains realized on the sale of its Common Shares treated as ordinary income, rather than as capital gains income, and having potentially
punitive interest charges apply to the proceeds of sales of the Company’s Common Shares and certain distributions.
Certain elections may be made to reduce or eliminate
the adverse impact of the PFIC rules for holders of the Company’s Common Shares, but these elections may be detrimental to the shareholder
under certain circumstances. The PFIC rules are extremely complex and U.S. investors are urged to consult independent tax advisers regarding
the potential consequences to them of the Company’s classification as a PFIC. See “Certain United States Federal Income Tax
Considerations.”
The exploration for and development of mineral deposits involves significant
risks
Mineral exploration is highly speculative in nature.
There is no assurance that exploration efforts will be successful. Even when mineralization is discovered, it may take several years until
production is possible, during which time the economic feasibility of production may change. Substantial expenditures are required to
establish proven and probable mineral reserves through drilling. Because of these uncertainties, no assurance can be given that exploration
programs will result in the establishment or expansion of mineral resources or mineral reserves. There is no certainty that the exploration
expenditures made by the Company towards the search and evaluation of mineral deposits will result in discoveries or development of mineral
reserves. Mining operations generally involve a high degree of risk. The Company’s operations are subject to the hazards and risks
normally encountered in mineral exploration and development, including environmental hazards, explosions, and unusual or unexpected geological
formations or pressures. Such risks could result in damage to, or destruction of, mineral properties, personal injury, environmental damage,
delays in mining, monetary losses and possible legal liability.
Mining exploration, development and operating activities
are inherently hazardous. The Company’s exploration activities may be interrupted by mining accidents such as cave-ins, rock falls,
rock bursts, pit wall failures, fires or flooding. In addition, exploration activities may be reduced if unfavorable weather conditions,
ground conditions or seismic activity are encountered, ore grades are lower than expected, the physical or metallurgical characteristics
of the ore are less amenable than expected to mining or treatment, dilution increases or electrical power is interrupted. Occurrences
of this nature and other accidents, adverse conditions or operational problems in future years may result in the Company’s failure
to achieve current or future exploration and production estimates.
The Company cannot accurately predict whether commercial quantities
of ore as estimated or projected in the pre-feasibility study will continue to be established as commercial production continues
Whether an ore body will be commercially viable depends
on a number of factors beyond the control of the Company, including the particular attributes of the deposit such as size, grade and proximity
to infrastructure, as well as mineral prices and government regulations, including regulations relating to permitting, prices, taxes,
royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection. The Company cannot accurately predict
the exact effect of these factors, but the combination of these factors may result in a mineral deposit being unprofitable. Although the
mineral resource estimates included herein have been prepared by the Company, or, in some instances have been prepared, reviewed or verified
by independent mining experts, these amounts are estimates only and there is a risk that a particular level of recovery of gold or other
minerals from mineral resource will not in fact be realized or that an identified mineralized deposit, if any, will never qualify as a
commercially mineable or viable reserve.
Pandemic or other health crisis may adversely affect or restrict the
Company’s business and exploration activities
The Company faces risks related to health epidemic and other outbreaks
of communicable diseases, which could significantly disrupt its operations and may materially and adversely affect its business, financial
operations and results of operations. A health crisis can impact the Company’s business, including its operations and the market
for its securities. Future developments surrounding a potential health crisis, such as COVID-19, Ebola, malaria, HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis,
are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time. Such future developments include the duration, severity and scope of an outbreak,
including a new pandemic or other health crises, and the actions taken to contain or treat an outbreak. In particular, a health crisis
could materially and adversely impact the Company’s business including without limitation, increased insurance premiums, limitations
on travel, supply chain interruption, inflation, and other factors that will depend on future developments beyond the Company’s
control. While these effects are expected to be temporary, the duration of the business disruptions internationally and related financial
impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The Company will continue to monitor and stay informed of the global and local reactions
to various health crisis and is taking action wherever and whenever possible to mitigate the impact of any health crisis on the staff
and operations of the Company. At this time, the Company’s operations have not been materially affected by a health crisis; however,
no assurance can be given that a health crisis will not materially affect the Company’s operations in the future.
The Company may not be able to continue to establish the presence of
minerals on a commercially viable basis
The Company’s ability to generate revenues
and profits, if any, is expected to occur through exploration and development of its existing properties as well as through acquisitions
of interests in new properties. The Company may need to incur substantial expenditures in an attempt to continue to establish the economic
feasibility of mining operations by identifying mineral deposits and establishing ore reserves through drilling and other techniques,
developing metallurgical processes to extract metals from ore, designing facilities and planning mining operations. The economic feasibility
of a project depends on numerous factors beyond the Company’s control, including the cost of mining and production facilities required
to extract the desired minerals, the total mineral deposits that can be mined using a given facility, the proximity of the mineral deposits
to a user of the minerals, and the market price of the minerals at the time of sale. In addition, there is a degree of uncertainty attributable
to the calculation and estimates of Mineral Resources and the corresponding metal grades to be mined and recovered. Until Mineral Resources
are mined and processed, the quantities of mineralization and metal grades must be considered as estimates only. Any material change in
the quantity of Mineral Resources, grades and recoveries may affect the economic viability of the Company’s property. The Company’s
existing or future exploration programs or acquisitions, accordingly, may not result in the identification of deposits that can be mined
profitably.
The Company depends on consultants, geologists and engineers for its
exploration programs
The Company has relied upon consultants, geologists,
engineers and others and intends to rely on these parties for exploration and development expertise. Substantial expenditures are required
to construct mines, to establish mineral resources and reserves through drilling, to carry out environmental and social impact assessments,
to develop metallurgical processes to extract metal from mineral reserves and, in the case of new properties, to develop the exploration
and plant infrastructure at any site. If such parties’ work is deficient or negligent or is not completed in a timely manner, it
could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Development of the Company’s projects is based on estimates and
the Company cannot guarantee that its projects, if any, will be placed into commercial production or continue with commercial production
Potential production and revenues generated from
any of the Company’s properties are estimates only. Estimates are based on, among other things, mining experience, resource estimates,
assumptions regarding ground conditions and physical characteristics of ores (such as hardness and presence or absence of certain metallurgical
characteristics) and estimated rates and costs of mining and processing. The Company’s actual production from the Buckreef Gold
Project may be lower than its production estimates. Each of these factors also applies to future development properties not yet in production
at the Company’s other projects. In the case of mines that the Company may develop in the future, it does not have the benefit of
actual experience in its estimates, and there is a greater likelihood that the actual results will vary from the estimates. In addition,
development and expansion projects are subject to unexpected construction and start-up problems and delays.
The Company’s exploration activities are subject to various Environmental,
Health and Safety Laws and Regulations
The Company’s activities are subject to extensive
laws and regulations governing environmental protection and employee health and safety. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner
that is creating stricter standards, while enforcement, fines and penalties for non-compliance are more stringent. The cost of compliance
with changes in governmental regulations has the potential to reduce the profitability of operations. Furthermore, any failure to comply
fully with all applicable laws and regulations could have significant adverse effects on the Company, including the suspension or cessation
of operations.
Exploration and mining operations involve risks of
releases to soil, surface water and groundwater of metals, chemicals, fuels, liquids having acidic properties and other contaminants.
Significant risk of environmental contamination from present and past exploration or mining activities still exists for mining companies.
The Buckreef Gold Project, except for the main pit, has been the site of artisanal mining. The Company may be liable for environmental
contamination and natural resource damages relating to properties that they currently own or operate or at which environmental contamination
occurred while or before they owned or operated the properties. No assurance can be given that potential liabilities for such contamination
or damages caused by past artisanal mining activities at the Buckreef Gold Project do not exist or that the Company will not be alleged
to be responsible for historical liabilities at the Buckreef Gold Project.
In addition, environmental regulators are increasingly
requiring financial assurances to ensure that the cost of decommissioning and reclaiming sites is borne by the parties involved, and not
by government. It is not possible to predict what level of decommissioning and reclamation (and financial assurances relating thereto)
may be required in the future by regulators.
The Company’s exploration activities are subject to community
relations and license to operate
The Company’s relationship with the local communities,
local authorities, and artisanal miners where it operates is critical to ensure the future success of its existing activities and the
potential development and operation of its projects. Failure by the Company to maintain good relations with local stakeholders can result
in adverse claims and difficulties for the Company. There is also an increasing level of public concern relating to the perceived effect
of mining activities on the environment and on communities impacted by such activities. Non-Governmental Organizations (“NGOs”)
and civil society groups, some of which oppose resource development, are often vocal critics of the mining industry and its practices,
including the use of hazardous substances and the handling, transportation, and storage of various waste, including hazardous waste. Adverse
publicity generated by such NGOs and civil society groups or others related to the extractive industries generally, or the Company’s
operations specifically, could have a material adverse impact on the Company and its reputation. Reputation loss may result in decreased
investor confidence, increased challenges in developing and maintaining community relations and an impediment to the Company’s overall
ability to advance its projects, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, results of operations and
financial condition.
The Company’s exploration activities are subject to various Licenses
and Permits, other Laws and Regulations
The Company’s exploration and development activities
require permits and approvals from various government authorities, and are subject to extensive federal, regional and local laws and regulations
governing prospecting, exploration, development, production, transportation, exports, taxes, labour standards, occupational health and
safety, mine safety and other matters. Such laws and regulations are subject to change, can become more stringent and compliance can therefore
become more time-consuming and costly. In addition, the Company may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason
of its activities. The Company will be required to obtain additional licenses and permits from various governmental authorities to continue
and expand its exploration and development activities. There can be no guarantee that the Company will be able to maintain or obtain all
necessary licenses, permits and approvals that may be required to explore and develop its properties. While the Company does not believe
that the changes proposed to Regulation 6(2) of the Mining (State Participation) Regulations 2022 in September, 2022 will have a material
effect on the Company’s interest in the Buckreef Gold Project, the full implications of this change and any further changes in laws,
policies and regulatory framework could negatively impact the Company and its assets.
The Company’s exploration activities are subject to various commitments
The Company’s mining properties may be subject
to various land payments, royalties and/or work commitments. Failure by the Company to meet its payment obligations or otherwise fulfill
its commitments under these agreements could result in the loss of related property interests. Additionally, any contractual disagreements
may be subject to extensive legal, administrative or arbitral proceedings, which may affect the Company’s rights and may involve
significant time and costs to conclude.
The Company may not have clear title to its properties
The Company has investigated its rights to exploit
the Buckreef Gold Project, and, to the best of its knowledge, its rights are in good standing. However, no assurance can be given that
such rights will not be revoked, or significantly altered, to its detriment. There can also be no assurance that the Company’s rights
will not be challenged or impugned by third parties, including local communities.
Some of the Company’s mineral claims may overlap
with other mineral claims owned by third parties which may be considered senior in title to the Company mineral claims. The junior claim
is only invalid in the areas where it overlaps a senior claim. The Company has not determined which, if any, of the Company mineral claims
is junior to a mineral claim held by a third party.
Although the Company is unaware of any existing title
uncertainties with respect to Buckreef Gold Project, there is no assurance that such uncertainties will not result in future losses or
additional expenditures, which could have an adverse impact on the Company’s future cash flows, earnings, results of operations
and financial condition.
Revenues
Although the Company has begun production at the
Buckreef Gold Project, there can be no assurance that the Buckreef Gold Project will be profitable from its operations, and even though
it may be profitable from operations, that such operating profits will be sufficient to pay for the Company’s current and planned
operating expenses and capital expenditures. The Company’s operating expenses and capital expenditures may increase in subsequent
years as consultants, personnel and equipment associated with the exploration, development and expansion of its properties are advanced.
The development of the Company’s properties may continue to require the commitment of substantial resources. There can be no assurance
that the Company will be able to fund its continuing operations on an ongoing basis. There can be no assurance that TRX will achieve long-term
profitability.
The Company may require additional capital
The Company will continue to incur development and
exploration costs for its plan of operations including in-fill drilling, exploration and technical work for development of the sulphide
mineralized material at its Buckreef Gold Project and therefore the Company may require additional capital. Although the Company had cash
of approximately 8.3 million at August 31, 2024, such amount may be insufficient for the Company’s development and exploration plans
and operating expenses. Ultimately, the Company’s ability to continue its exploration activities depends in part on the Company’s
ability to generate profits or to obtain financing through joint ventures, debt financing, equity financing, production sharing agreements
or some combination of these or other means. Further the raising of additional capital by the Company may dilute existing shareholders.
No assurance can be given that the Company will be able to raise capital in the future.
As of August 31, 2024, the Company’s internal controls and procedures
over financial reporting were ineffective, and if the Company continues to fail to improve such controls and procedures, investors could
lose confidence in the Company’s financial and other reports, the price of its shares of common stock may decline, and it may be
subject to increased risks and liabilities.
As a public company, the Company is subject to the reporting requirements
of the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Exchange Act requires, among other things, that the Company file annual
reports with respect to its business and financial condition. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that
the Company include a report of its management on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Company is also required
to include certifications of its management regarding the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures. For the year ended
August 31, 2024, the Company concluded that ICFR was not effective due to a material weakness relating to its information technology general
controls (“ITGC”). The Company relies on a third-party service provider that manages its enterprise resource planning (“ERP”)
software. As at August 31, 2024, the vendor did not have an assurance audit report to confirm the appropriate ITGCs were in place. As
a result, the Company was unable to assess the internal controls related to security, availability, processing integrity and confidentiality
surrounding the ERP. The Company did not have appropriate controls to monitor the vendor’s control environment and ITGCs as per
the criteria established in the COSO 2013 Framework.
ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES AGAINST NON-U.S.
PERSONS
The Company is a corporation existing under the Business
Corporations Act (Alberta). All of the Company’s directors and officers, and some or all of the experts named in this Prospectus,
are residents of Canada or otherwise reside outside the United States, and all or a substantial portion of their assets, and all of the
Company’s assets, are located outside the United States. The Company has appointed an agent for service of process in the United
States, but it may be difficult for holders of Common Shares who reside in the United States to effect service within the United States
upon those directors, officers and experts who are not residents of the United States. It may also be difficult for holders of Common
Shares who reside in the United States to realize in the United States upon judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon the
Company’s civil liability and the civil liability of its directors, officers and experts under the United States federal securities
laws.
The Company appointed National Registered Agents, Inc.,
1015 15th Steet N.W., Suite 1000, Washington, DC 20005, as its agent for service of process in the United States in connection with any
investigation or administrative proceeding conducted by the SEC, and any civil suit or action brought against or involving the Company
in a United States court arising out of or related to or concerning the offering of the Securities under this Prospectus.
PART II - INFORMATION
NOT REQUIRED TO BE DELIVERED TO OFFEREES OR PURCHASERS
Indemnification
Under
the Business Corporations Act (Alberta), the Company may indemnify a director or officer, a former director or officer, or a person
who acts or acted at the Company’s request as a director or officer or a body corporate of which the Company is or was a shareholder
or creditor, and the director’s or officer’s heirs and legal representatives, against all costs, charges and expenses, including
an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by the individual in respect of any civil, criminal or administrative
action or proceeding to which the individual is involved because of that association with the Company or other entity, and the Company
may advance moneys to such an individual for the costs, charges and expenses of such a proceeding. The Company may not indemnify such
an individual, unless the individual acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company, or, as the case
may be, to the best interests of the other entity for which the individual acted as a director or officer or in a similar capacity at
the Company’s request, and, in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty,
the individual had reasonable grounds for believing that the individual’s conduct was lawful. In addition, the individual must repay
any moneys advanced by the Company if the individual has not fulfilled the conditions set out in the preceding sentence. Such indemnification
or advance of moneys may be made in connection with a derivative action only with court approval. Such an individual is entitled to indemnification
from the company as a matter of right if the individual was not judged by the court or other competent authority to have committed any
fault or omitted to do anything that the individual ought to have done, and the individual fulfilled the conditions set forth above.
In
accordance with and subject to the Business Corporations Act (Alberta), the by-laws of the Company provide that the Company shall
indemnify a director or officer, a former director or officer, or a person who acts or acted at the Company’s request as a director
or officer, or a body corporate of which the Company is or was a shareholder or creditor, and the director’s or officer’s
heirs and legal representatives, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment,
reasonably incurred by him in respect of any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which he is made a party by reason
of being or having been a director or officer of the Company or other entity if he acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the
best interests of the Company or, as the case may be, to the best interests of the other entity for which he acted as a director or officer
at the company’s request, and, in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by monetary penalty,
he had reasonable grounds for believing that his conduct was lawful. The Company shall also indemnify such person in such other circumstances
as the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) permits or requires.
The
Company maintains a Directors’ & Officers’ insurance policy for the benefit of the directors and officers of the Company
and its subsidiaries against liability incurred by them in their official capacities for which they become obligated to pay to the extent
permitted by applicable law.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the securities act, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling
the company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the company has been informed that, in the opinion of the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the securities act and is therefore unenforceable.
