(collectively, the FT Units, Units and the Charity FT Units are the "Offered Securities")

Malcolm Dorsey, President and CEO of Torr, commented, "This financing places Torr in a very strong position, with approximately 70% of the flow-through portion backed by committed long-term supporters through the charity component, with the remainder taken by substantial participation from key high-net-worth investors. These funds provide full financing for our comprehensive drill program of up to 9,000 metres at our highway-accessible 332 km2 Kolos Copper-Gold Project in southern British Columbia. This includes an expansion of our inaugural drilling from 1,500 to 2,500 metres, currently underway at the high-potential Bertha Target, followed by a Phase II program of approximately 6,500 metres in Spring 2026; targeting either Bertha or one of our three additional undrilled porphyry systems, two of which are already drill permitted, with one further permit pending at the Sonic Zone. With 1,400 metres of drilling already completed in Fall 2025, we look forward to reporting assay results and sharing updates on our recently completed surface geochemical work at Sonic and Bertha South in the coming months."

All warrants issued in connection with this Offering will be subject to earlier expiry in the event that the closing price of the common shares of the Company exceeds $0.35 for 10 consecutive trading days.

In connection with the sale of the Offered Securities, Torr paid a total of $217,513 in cash to arm's length finders (each, a "Finder"). The Company also issued a total of 1,159,297 non-transferable share purchase warrants to eligible Finders, on the same terms as the Unit Warrants, all in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.

All securities issued are subject to a four-month and one day hold period expiring on March 1, 2026.

All FT Shares and Charity FT Unit Warrants issued in connection with the Offering qualify as a "flow-through share" within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Tax Act"). The Charity FT Units Offering was facilitated by PearTree Securities Inc. ("PearTree"). PearTree did not receive any fees or commissions from the Company for its role in the Offering.

The gross proceeds from the issuance and sale of the FT Units and Charity FT Units will be used to incur eligible "Canadian exploration expenses" that qualify as "flow-through critical mineral mining expenditures", as such terms are defined in the Tax Act, and for subscribers who are qualifying individuals under the Income Tax Act (British Columbia) (the "BC Tax Act"), these expenditures will also qualify as "BC flow-through mining expenditures", as defined in section 4.721(1) of the BC Tax Act (collectively, the "Qualifying Expenditures"). These expenditures will be incurred on Torr's British Columbia assets, specifically its 100% owned 275 km² Kolos Copper-Gold Project and the adjacent 57 km² Bertha Property, which was optioned in March 2025 with the right to earn 100% ownership. The Qualifying Expenditures will be incurred on or before December 31, 2026, and will be renounced in favour of the subscribers with an effective date no later than December 31, 2025, in an aggregate amount not less than the total gross proceeds raised from the issuance of the FT Units and Charity FT Units. The net proceeds from the sale of the Units will be utilized for general working capital.

One insider of Torr participated in the Offering and such subscription is a related party transaction for the purposes of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"), but Torr is relying on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements provided under sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 on the basis that the fair market value of the subscription, insofar as it involves the insider of Torr, does not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of the Issuer, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101.
