New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 19% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-CA$141k free cash flow). Shares are highly illiquid. Earnings have declined by 11% per year over the past 5 years. Revenue is less than US$1m. Market cap is less than US$10m (CA$1.12m market cap, or US$811.6k).

Vatic Ventures Corp. Options 100% Interest in Brazil Hardrock Lithium Pegmatite Property, with Recent Samples of 5.03% Li2o Vatic Ventures Corp. announced that it has entered into a share purchase agreement with arms length vendors (the "Optionors") to acquire, subject to TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") approval, a 100% interest in a private company which holds an option to acquire a highly prospective hard rock lithium property ("Solonopole South"). The property hosts multiple extensive lithium bearing pegmatite dykes that recently returned initial grab samples of 5.03% Li2O, 3.72% Li2O and 3.41% Li2O. The Solonopole South Lithium Property consists of 4 claim blocks covering 4,813.57 hectares. The property is located in the coastal state of Ceara in Northeast Brazil, 40 km from the city of Solonopole in a known pegmatite mining district. Vatic's Solonopole South Property is also located approximately 30 km Southeast of Oceana Lithium Limited's ("OCN" - ASX) property. Oceana Lithium Limited' recent sampling returned up to 9.89% Li2O as well as over 1% Ta, 1% Nb, over 1000 ppm Tin, and over 2.5% Be. The initial 2023 exploration program completed by the former property owner revealed multiple long and wide pegmatite dykes that measure up to 30 meters in width and up to 300 meters in length that are largely unexplored. Vatic is planning an upcoming work program that will include GPS sample site controls for overburden stripping, mapping, channel sampling and trenching. Vatic is in the process of engaging sampling crews and is working with local Brazil based geological consultants to help plan a follow up drilling program to evaluate the priority targets. The SolonopoleSouth Property covers historic artisanal mining sites previously mined for lithium, coltan (tantalum and niobium) and tin. Initial sampling of the Solonopole South Pegmatites returned Spodumene bearing pegmatite samples that graded up to 5.03% Li2 O. The Company anticipates this to be filed with the TSXV on an expedited transaction basis. No finder's fees will be payable in connection with this arm's length transaction.
