Equity [Abstract] |
Capital Stock | Note 10: Capital Stock 10.1 Initial Public Offering On April 19, 2023, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, BMO Capital Markets Corp., Laurentian Bank Securities Inc. and Sprott Capital Partners LP (collectively, the “underwriters”) for an offering of 2,000,000 units of the Company (the “Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one common share and one common share purchase warrant, and each common share purchase warrant entitles the holder to acquire a common share at a price of $13.00 per share until April 24, 2026. On April 24, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), the Company issued 2,000,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit for gross proceeds of $20,000,000. In connection with the IPO, the Company incurred securities issuance costs of $970,194, of which $650,000 represented cash fees paid to the Underwriters. GoldMining acquired 122,490 Units in the IPO for total consideration of $1,224,900. The net proceeds from the issuance of the Units were allocated to the Company’s common shares and common share purchase warrants on a relative fair value basis. Inputs used to calculate the relative fair value of the common shares and common share purchase warrants are based on the quoted closing prices of the Company’s common shares and common share purchase warrants on the Nasdaq Capital Market on the Closing Date of IPO. The allocation of the fair value of the Company’s common shares and common share purchase warrants is as follows: Schedule of Allocation of Fair Value of Common Shares and Common Share Purchase Warrants

10.2 Common and Preferred Shares On September 22, 2022, we filed a Certificate of Amendment of Articles of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of Nevada to effect a 2.714286-for-1 stock split of the shares of our common stock, either issued and outstanding or held by the Company as treasury stock, effective as of such date (the “Stock Split”). As a result of the Stock Split, every one share of issued and outstanding common stock was automatically split into 2.714286 issued and outstanding shares of common stock, without any change in the par value per share. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the Stock Split. The Stock Split increased the number of shares of common stock outstanding from 3,500,000 shares to 9,500,001 shares. Additionally, we changed: (a) the Company’s common stock par value from nil to $0.001 and increased the authorized shares of common stock from 10,000,000 to 300,000,000; and (b) the Company’s preferred stock par value from nil to $0.001, and increased the authorized shares of preferred stock from 1,000,000 to 10,000,000. On September 23, 2022, BRI Alaska Holdings transferred 100% of its shares in us to GoldMining and was dissolved. As of May 31, 2023, there were 12,345,514 common shares issued and outstanding. 10.3 Restricted Shares On September 23, 2022, the Company adopted an equity incentive plan (the “Legacy Incentive Plan”). The Legacy Incentive Plan only provides for the grant of restricted stock awards. The purpose of the Legacy Incentive Plan is to provide an incentive for employees, directors and certain consultants and advisors of the Company or its subsidiaries to remain in the service of the Company or its subsidiaries. The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to the grant of the restricted stock awards is 1,000,000 shares of common stock in the Company. On September 23, 2022, we granted awards of an aggregate of 635,000 shares of performance based restricted shares (the “Restricted Shares”) of common stock under the Legacy Incentive Plan to certain of our and GoldMining’s executive officers, directors and consultants, the terms of which were amended on May 4, 2023. The Restricted Shares are subject to restrictions that, among other things, prohibit the transfer thereof until certain performance conditions are met. In addition, if such conditions are not met within applicable periods, the restricted shares will be deemed forfeited and surrendered by the holder thereof to us without the requirement of any further consideration. Assuming completion of the offering, these conditions are:
| (a) | with respect to 15% of the performance based restricted shares of common stock, if we have not completed equity financing(s) in an aggregate amount of at least $15,000,000 prior to or concurrently with the earlier of: (i) the date that is two years after the date of grant of such award; and (ii) the occurrence of a liquidation event, as such term is defined in the Legacy Incentive Plan, or any merger with or sale of our outstanding shares or all or substantially all of our assets to a third-party, referred to as an “Exit Transaction”, provided that, for greater certainty, the following shall not be considered an Exit Transaction: (A) any amalgamation, merger or consolidation of our business with or into a related entity; (B) a transaction undertaken solely for the purpose of changing our place of domicile or jurisdiction of incorporation; (C) an equity financing; and (D) completion of an initial public offering, spin-off from GoldMining or other going public transaction, referred to as an “IPO Event” (condition met);
| (b) | with respect to 15% of the performance based restricted shares of common stock, an IPO Event has not occurred that values our business at a minimum of $100,000,000 prior to the date that is two years after the date of grant of such award (condition met);
| (c) | with respect to 15% of the performance based restricted shares of common stock, if the recipient of such award ceases to be our or our affiliates’ director, officer, employee or consultant, as applicable, at any time during the period from the date of grant of such award until the date that is two years after the date of grant;
| (d) | with respect to 15% of the performance based restricted shares of common stock, if we have not re-established the Whistler Project camp and performed of a minimum of 10,000 meters of drilling prior to the date that is three years after the date of grant of such award;
| (e) | with respect to 15% of the performance based restricted shares of common stock, if we have not achieved a share price of $15.00 prior to the date that is four years after the date of grant of such award (condition met);
| (f) | with respect to 15% of the performance based restricted shares of common stock, if we have not achieved a $250,000,000 market capitalization, based on the number of shares of our outstanding common stock multiplied by the volume-weighted average price for any applicable five (5) consecutive trading day period on the principal stock exchange on which our common stock is listed prior to the date that is five years after the date of grant of such award; or
| (g) | with respect to 10% of the performance based restricted common stock, if we have not achieved a share price of $25.00 prior to the date that is six years after the date of grant of such award. Upon satisfaction of the conditions referenced in both (f) and (g) above (regardless of whether they occur simultaneously or consecutively), all of the unvested Restricted Shares will be 100% vested and will be deemed Released Stock. In the event the Company files the disclosure specified in Subpart 1300 of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Regulation S-K Report with the SEC or the disclosure specified in Canadian National Instrument 43-101, Standards for Disclosure for Mineral Products, to the relevant Canadian securities regulator (the “Securities Filing”) that includes, in either disclosure, an aggregate estimate of mineral resources for the Whistler Project or any other project owned or operated by the Company of 3,000,000 additional gold or gold equivalent ounces from the amount reported on the disclosure specified in the Company’s Subpart 1300 of the SEC Regulation S-K Report dated September 22, 2022, 190,500 shares of the Restricted Shares will be deemed Released Shares as of the date of such Securities Filing (or if such amount exceeds the number of shares of Restricted Shares that have not yet become Released Shares at the time, such lesser number of shares of Restricted Shares) reducing, on a proportional basis, the number of unvested shares of Restricted Shares subject to each vesting condition.
During the three and six months ended May 31, 2023, we recognized share-based compensation expense of $36,505 and $38,366, respectively, related to the Restricted Shares. 10.4 Share Purchase Warrants A continuity schedule of our outstanding share purchase warrants for the six months ended May 31, 2023, is as follows: Schedule of Outstanding Share Purchase Warrants
|  | Number of Warrants |  |  | Weighted Average Exercise Price |
Balance at November 30, 2022 |  |  | - |  |  | $ | - |
Common share purchase warrants issued at the IPO |  |  | 2,000,000 |  |  |  | 13.00 |
Exercised |  |  | (210,513 | ) |  |  | 13.00 |
Balance, May 31, 2023 |  |  | 1,789,487 |  |  | $ | 13.00 |
During the six months ended May 31, 2023, share purchase warrants were exercised for a total of $2,736,669, of which $40,326 was held by the transfer agent at quarter end (Note 4). The number of common share purchase warrants outstanding as at May 31, 2023 was 1,789,487 warrants at an exercise price of $13.00 per share and with a weighted average remaining contractual life of 2.90 years. Subsequent to May 31, 2023, 48,195 warrants were exercised for proceeds of $626,535. 10.5 Share Options On February 6, 2023, the Company adopted a long term incentive plan (“2023 Incentive Plan”).The purpose of the 2023 Incentive Plan is to provide an incentive for employees, directors and certain consultants and advisors of the Company or its subsidiaries to remain in the service of the Company or its subsidiaries. The 2023 Incentive Plan provides for the grant of non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units, performance awards, restricted stock awards and other cash and equity-based awards. The aggregate number of common shares issuable under the 2023 Incentive Plan in respect of awards shall not exceed 10% of the common shares issued and outstanding. On May 4, 2023, the Company granted 82,500 stock options at an exercise price of $10.00 per share. The share options are exercisable for a period of five years from the date of grant and will vest as follows: (a) 25% on the grant date; and (b) 25% on each of the dates that are 6, 12 and 18 months thereafter. The fair value of the share options granted was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 3.47%, expected life of 3 years, expected dividend yield of 0%, estimated forfeiture rate of 0% and expected volatility of 61.34%. As there is limited trading history of the Company’s common shares prior to the date of grant, the expected volatility is based on the historical share price volatility of a group of comparable companies in the sector the Company operates over a period similar to the expected life of the share options. The following table summarizes the Company’s stock option activity during this period: Schedule of Stock Option Activity
|  | Number of Stock Options |  |  | Weighted Average Exercise Price |  |  | Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years) |  |  | Aggregate Intrinsic Value |
Balance, November 30, 2022 |  |  | - |  |  | $ | - |  |  |  |  |  |  | $ | - |
Granted |  |  | 82,500 |  |  |  | 10.00 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Balance, May 31, 2023 |  |  | 82,500 |  |  | $ | 10.00 |  |  |  | 4.93 |  |  | $ | 404,250 |
The aggregate intrinsic value of options is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the stock options and the fair value of the Company’s common shares for those options that had exercise prices lower than the fair value of the Company’s common shares. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of stock options granted during the six months ended May 31, 2023 was $4.18 per share. During the three and six months ended May 31, 2023, the Company recognized share-based compensation expense of $110,228 for the share options granted. 10.6 Lock-Up Agreements In connection with the IPO, GoldMining and each of the Company’s directors and officers have entered into Lock-Up Agreements, pursuant to which GoldMining, the directors and officers of the Company agreed not to offer for sale, issue, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of any common shares for a period of 180 days after April 19, 2023, subject to certain limited exceptions, without the prior written consent of the Underwriters. As of May 31, 2023, there are 182,100 common shares which are subject to transfer restrictions pursuant to the Lock-Up Agreements.
