Gatekeeper Supports Transport Canada's New Mandate for Cameras on School Buses
Abbotsford, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 19, 2025) - Gatekeeper Systems Inc. (TSXV: GSI) (OTC Pink: GKPRF) ("Gatekeeper" or the "Company"), a leader in intelligent video and data solutions for public transportation and smart cities, supports Transport Canada's new regulation mandating that perimeter visibility systems be installed on all new school buses as a feature to improve school bus safety. In addition, the regulation also introduced requirements for the installation of infraction cameras for manufacturers who wish to voluntarily install them on buses.
The Transport Canada regulation came into effect December 18, 2024, and all new school buses will be equipped with perimeter visibility systems as of November 1, 2027. Transport Canada estimates the cost of the regulation to be $196 million in present value between 2024 and 2036 and estimates 65,105 school buses will be affected by 2036. These measures follow a 2020 Report of the Task Force on School Bus Safety, which recommended new measures to protect children outside the school bus, where they face the greatest risk.
Gatekeeper was selected as a pilot project supplier for testing in this initiative in April 2021 and installed 360 Surround Vision and Student Protector systems on pilot project school buses in British Columbia and Ontario.
Gatekeeper's 360 Surround Vision is a perimeter visibility system which provides a surround view of the school bus and is automatically activated when the bus is reversing or making side turns. The surround view is displayed on a specialized rear-view mirror system allowing drivers to monitor school children all around the bus.
Gatekeeper's Student Protector is an infraction camera solution specifically designed to record and target vehicles that illegally pass a school bus when the stop arm is deployed and captures license plate information day or night up to four lanes from a school bus.
"Gatekeeper applauds this new Transport Canada regulation to improve school bus safety," commented Doug Dyment, Gatekeeper's President, and CEO. "We have supported the Task Force on School Bus Safety from its early beginnings as a pilot project provider showcasing our innovative 360 Surround Vision and Student Protector solutions and we look forward to working with Canadian school districts and school bus manufacturers on the implementation of this important regulation."

Silver47 and Summa Silver Announce Upsize of Brokered Financing to C$6 Million
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 3, 2025) - Silver47 Exploration Corp. (TSXV: AGA) (OTCQB: AAGAF) ("Silver47") and Summa Silver Corp. (TSXV: SSVR) (OTCQX: SSVRF) ("Summa") (together, the "Companies") are pleased to announce that due to strong demand, the Companies have increased the size of its previously announced best efforts basis, brokered private placement offering to C$6,000,000 (the "Offering"), led by Research Capital Corporation ("RCC"), as co-lead agent and sole bookrunner, and together with Haywood Securities Inc., as co-lead agent, on behalf of a syndicate of agents, including Eventus Capital Corp. (collectively, the "Agents"). Pursuant to the upsize, the Offering consists of up to 24,000,000 subscription receipts of Summa (the "Subscription Receipts") at a price of $0.25 per Subscription Receipt. The Offering is being conducted in connection with Silver47 and Summa entering into an arm's length definitive arrangement agreement dated May 12, 2025 (the "Arrangement Agreement") for an at-market merger, pursuant to which Silver47 and Summa have agreed to combine their respective companies (the "Transaction") by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement. The combined company (the "Combined Company") is expected to continue under the name "Silver47 Exploration Corp." Each Subscription Receipt will entitle the holder thereof, without payment of any additional consideration and without further action on the part of the holder, upon the satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions (as defined herein) to receive one unit of Summa (a "Unit"). Each Unit will consist of one common share of Summa (a "Summa Share") and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, an "Summa Warrant"). Each Summa Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one common share of Summa (a "Warrant Share") at an exercise price of $0.36 per Warrant Share until the date that is 24 months following the satisfaction or waiver of the Escrow Release Conditions (defined herein). In addition, Summa has granted the Agents an option to offer up to an additional number of Subscription Receipts for gross proceeds of up to 15% of the gross proceeds of the Offering at any time up to 48 hours prior to closing of the Offering. The net proceeds of the Offering will be used to fund advancement of the Combined Company's silver project portfolio in the U.S., and for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Offering is anticipated to close on June 17, 2025, or such later date as Summa and the Agents may agree upon (the "Closing Date"). The closing of the Offering is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory and other approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"). The gross proceeds of the Offering, less the Agents' expenses and 50% of the cash commission will be deposited and held by a licensed Canadian trust company or other escrow agent (the "Escrow Agent") mutually acceptable to RCC (as defined herein), Summa, and Silver47 in an interest bearing account (the "Escrowed Funds") pursuant to the terms of a subscription receipt agreement to be entered into on the Closing Date among Summa and RCC, and the Escrow Agent. The Escrowed Funds (less 50% of the remaining cash commission and any remaining costs and expenses of the Agents) will be released from escrow to the Combined Company, as applicable, upon satisfaction of the following conditions (collectively, the "Escrow Release Conditions") no later than the 90th day following the Closing Date, or such other date as may be mutually agreed to in writing between Summa, Silver47, and RCC (the "Escrow Release Deadline"), including: (A) the completion, satisfaction or waiver of all conditions precedent to the Transaction in accordance with the Arrangement Agreement, to the satisfaction of RCC; (B) the receipt of all required shareholder and regulatory approvals, including, without limitation, the conditional approval of the Exchange for the Transaction; (C) the securities of the Silver47 or the Combined Company issued in exchange for the securities of Summa not being subject to any statutory or other hold period in Canada; (D) the representations and warranties of Summa and Silver47 contained in the agency agreement to be entered into in connection with the Offering being true and accurate in all material respects, as if made on and as of the escrow release date; and (E) Summa, Silver47 and RCC having delivered a joint notice and direction to the Escrow Agent, confirming that the conditions set forth in (A) to (D) above have been met or waived. If (i) the satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions does not occur on or prior to the Escrow Release Deadline, or such other date as may be mutually agreed to in writing among Summa, Silver47, and RCC, or (ii) Summa has advised RCC and/or the public that it does not intend to proceed with the Transaction (in each case, the earliest of such times being the "Termination Time"), then all of the issued and outstanding Subscription Receipts shall be cancelled and the Escrowed Funds shall be used to pay holders of Subscription Receipts an amount equal to the issue price of the Subscription Receipts held by them (plus an amount equal to a pro rata share of any interest or other income earned thereon). If the Escrowed Funds are not sufficient to satisfy the aggregate purchase price paid for the then issued and outstanding Subscription Receipts (plus an amount equal to a pro rata share of the interest earned thereon), it shall be Summa's sole responsibility and liability to contribute such amounts as are necessary to satisfy any such shortfall. Summa has agreed to pay to the Agents a cash commission equal to 6% of the gross proceeds of the Offering. In addition, Summa has agreed to issue to the Agents broker warrants of Summa exercisable for a period of 24 months, to acquire in aggregate that number of Summa Shares which is equal to 6% of the number of Subscription Receipts sold under the Offering at an exercise price of $0.25 per Summa Share.

Noble Plains Uranium Secures Strategic Ground in Heart of Shirley Basin Uranium District
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 3, 2025) - Noble Plains Uranium Corp. (TSXV: NOBL) (OTCQB: IXIXF) (FSE: INE) ("Noble Plains" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has secured an option to acquire a 100% interest in 30 highly strategic mineral claims collectively called the Shirley Central Property in the prolific Shirley Basin of Wyoming, a historically productive and infrastructure rich uranium district in the United States. Several of the Shirley Central Property claims lie directly within Ur-Energy Inc.'s Shirley Basin permit boundary, while others are surrounded by Uranium Energy Corp's (UEC) land package-placing Noble Plains in the middle of a rapidly developing uranium hub. Ur-Energy Inc.'s Shirley Basin Project currently hosts a National Instrument 43-101 compliant Measured (1,367,000 short tons) and Indicated (549,000 short tons) Resource of 8.816 million pounds U₃O₈ at 0.23%1 and is under active construction2. "This acquisition is a clear reflection of our strategy-targeting sound geological projects in premier U.S. uranium jurisdictions," stated Drew Zimmerman, President of Noble Plains. "We're focused on acquiring brownfield assets with proven potential and strong ISR amenability, and this new land package in the Shirley Basin is a prime example." Figure 1: Shirley Central Property Acquisition Map To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: The Company has obtained, digitized, and interpreted historical aerial photos and records to reveal at least five distinct areas of dense, systematic drilling within the Shirley Central Property as conducted by past operators, such as Kerr-McGee (see Figure 1). These were drilled between former producing open-pit mines, targeting uranium mineralization with denser grid spacing (25m by 25m) designed to delineate higher-grade zones. Historic exploration density strongly suggests high-confidence targets for future ISR resource delineation. Noble Plains plans to fast-track permitting to begin drilling on these "bullseye" targets by late summer 2025. "The Shirley Basin is very well-understood geologically and in a historically productive uranium district in the United States," said Paul Cowley, CEO of Noble Plains. "This land package sits between past-producing open pits and has dense historical drilling with clear signs of mineralization that make it an exceptional geological opportunity with five "bullseye" targets already identified for drill testing." The Shirley Central Property adds to the Company's Shirley East Property (aka Hot Property), expanding Noble Plains' Shirley Basin footprint to a total of 101 unpatented mineral claims covering 8.44 km² (3.26 mi²), consolidating the Company's position in a premier U.S. uranium district (see Figure 2). Figure 2: Noble Plains' Properties in Shirley Basin (pink and red) To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: Shirley Basin Wyoming is the top uranium-producing state in the U.S. and hosts the country's largest ore reserves. The Shirley Basin alone produced over 52 million pounds of U₃O₈ between 1960 and 1992 at an average grade of 0.22% U₃O₈ -over three times the current U.S. average. With ISR now the dominant method of uranium production in Wyoming, these newly optioned claims are especially compelling. ISR offers lower capital and operating costs, minimal surface disturbance, and no tailings-aligning with Noble Plains' commitment to environmentally responsible development. 1 Updated Initial Assessment Technical Report Summary on Shirley Basin ISR Uranium Project, Carbon County Wyoming, USA dated March 4, 2024 and prepared by Western Water Consultants, Inc.2 Ur-Energy Announces Decision to Build Out Shirley Basin Mine: Press Release dated March 13, 2024 Terms of Transaction The Company has signed a property option agreement (the "Agreement") effective June 1, 2025, with a private vendor pursuant to which the Company can acquire a 100% interest in the Shirley Central Property. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company will pay US$50,000 annually to the vendor. Between the third anniversary of the effective date of the Agreement and a construction decision, the Company can exercise the option to own a 100% interest in the Shirley Central Property subject to a 3% gross value royalty. At that time, annual option payments of US$50,000 convert to an annual US$50,000 milestone payment. The Shirley Central Property option transaction is considered an Exempt Transaction, as such term is defined in the policies of the Exchange and, thus, does not require Exchange approval. On Behalf of the Board of Directors, "Paul Cowley", CEO For further information, please contact: Paul Cowley: (604) 340-7711 Website: Bradley Parkes, VP Exploration and Director of Noble Plains Uranium Corp., is the Qualified Person as defined in National Instrument 43-101, who has read and approved the technical content of this news release.
