Implications for Investors

1. Slight Dilution – Minimal Market Impact

   • This is a relatively small issuance (~0.03%), and is unlikely to have a significant dilutive effect by itself.

   • The dilution is minor, but it incrementally increases the free float, adding liquidity.

2. Raised Capital

   • The company receives $1,833.30 in fresh capital (83,332 x $0.022).

   • While small, it's a continuation of the company monetizing its large base of outstanding options.

3. Confidence Signal

   • The options exercised were likely by someone confident in the company’s prospects, especially since the exercise price ($0.022) is near the current market price.

   • This could be insider- or investor-driven buying ahead of expected positive news — such as the upcoming drill results.

4. Timing Matters

   • This announcement aligns with increased speculation around the drill results from the Monument Gold Project.

   • If these results are due within the next 2–3 weeks, the option exercise may indicate anticipation of favorable outcomes.
