Rio2 entered into an agency agreement with Eight Capital and a
syndicate of agents, including Cantor Fitzgerald Canada

Raymond James Ltd., under which the Company sold, on a brokered
"best efforts" basis, 25,640,000 shares at the offering
price pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption available

Exemptions (the "LIFE offering") and 33,390,000 shares at
the offering price pursuant to other exemptions under NI 45-106 and
in accordance with other applicable securities laws in qualifying
jurisdictions.
Rio2 plans to use the net proceeds from the offering in preparation
for the construction financing of the Fenix Gold Project in Chile
later in 2024.

offering with a team that included Peter Simeon, Ashley Andaya and
