Anthony Davis will not play in the Dallas Mavericks’ next two games, including Saturday night’s contest against the Detroit Pistons in Mexico City, the team announced in a statement Friday, Oct. 31.

The 10-time All-Star has a ‘low grade left calf strain,’ the Mavericks said, suffered during their previous game.

Davis played just 7 minutes in Dallas’ win against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday, Oct. 29, exiting early after experiencing ‘left lower leg soreness.’ He was seen grabbing the back of his left leg near the heal before heading to the locker room.

In their statement Friday, the Mavericks said he was held out ‘for precautionary reasons.’ Davis had entered Wednesday’s game on the injury report, listed as having ‘bilateral Achilles tendinopathy.’

In addition to Saturday night’s contest in Mexico, Davis will miss Monday’s game at Houston. The Mavericks said he will be ‘re-evaluated after the road trip’ is completed. Their next game in Dallas is Nov. 5.

This is the latest injury setback for Davis, who has suited up for just 14 regular-season games for the Mavericks since he was traded to Dallas in February’s shocking deal that sent Luka Dončić to Los Angeles.

Kiké Hernández and the Los Angeles Dodgers forced Game 7 against the Toronto Blue Jays in the World Series.

The Dodgers took the lead in the third inning, scoring three runs — their only runs of the game — and then held on.

The Blue Jays did have an opportunity to potentially win the game and the series, with runners on second and third in the bottom of the ninth inning.

Andrés Giménez hit a ball to left field, where it was caught by Hernández, who managed to quickly deliver the ball to Miguel Rojas at second base. Rojas caught the ball to double off Addison Barger, securing the double play and the 3-1 victory in Game 6 on Friday night.

When is World Series Game 7?

The Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays will play in Game 7 of the World Series on Saturday, Nov. 1 at the Rogers Centre. The game will be played at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT).

  • Pro Football Hall of Famer Ray Lewis addressed the Colorado Buffaloes football team at the invitation of coach Deion Sanders.
  • Lewis criticized the team for a perceived lack of brotherhood and camaraderie during their 3-5 season.
  • He challenged players on their commitment to studying film and preparing for games.

Colorado football coach Deion Sanders introduced another special guest to his team this week – a fellow Pro Football Hall of Famer who told Colorado players in a team meeting that he saw “no brotherhood” among them as they started the season with a 3-5 record.

The guest was Ray Lewis, the former Baltimore Ravens linebacker who said he was making his first visit to the Boulder campus since 1993, when he was a freshman on a Miami Hurricanes team that beat Colorado 35-29.

“Buffaloes, if you watch it on film, there’s no camaraderie,” Lewis said, as shown Friday, Oct. 31, on the YouTube channel of Sanders’ son Deion Jr. “There’s no brotherhood. You putting on the same uniform, but you walking out with different spirits.”

Ray Lewis asked for a show of hands

Lewis’s speech was part sermon, part critique and part pep talk as the Buffaloes prepare to face Arizona Saturday in a 7 p.m. ET game Saturday at home. At one point Lewis asked for a show of hands from those who silence and put away their phones when they get home so they can “dial in for about two or three hours” to study and prepare themselves as players.

Only three appeared to raise their hands.

“And we say we’re trying to win – how?” Lewis asked. “How do you win? You win by giving up what you think is pleasurable.”

As a player, Lewis said he put his own phone away when he got home every day so he could study the likes of legendary former NFL quarterback Peyton Manning. He gave a colorful example of how no detail was too small to learn.

“And I’m not leaving for six or seven hours, because I want to know what Peyton Manning’s going to do if he got to go (urinate),” Lewis said. “I want to know how bad he got to go (urinate). That’s how much information you got to want to know to be great.”

‘Let’s fix it,’ Ray Lewis tells Colorado players

Lewis is among several football and celebrity quests that Sanders has invited to address his team over the years, including actor Denzel Washington and former NFL receiver Randy Moss.

“Learn your craft and stop letting Colorado Buffaloes be represented off a bunch of individuals,” Lewis told them. “Let’s become a team. Let’s talk more, and let’s find out who hurting in their silent cries. Let’s fix it. Get on the football field and deliver the package that that man (Sanders) expects from each and every one of you.”

Lewis’ visit impressed the Buffs, especially linebacker Martavius French, who couldn’t seem to believe that Lewis shook his hand. French said in a video on Instagram that he might cut off his hand to “frame it” after touching Lewis.

“I’m saving this video, too, and gonna remember this day,” French said.

Colorado needs to win three of its four remaining regular-season games in order to become eligible for a postseason bowl game. The Buffs are 16-17 in three seasons under Sanders after suffering the worst loss of Sanders’ college coaching career last week at Utah.

TORONTO – One of the greatest postseasons by a pitcher in modern baseball history saved the Los Angeles Dodgers’ season. And one of the wildest game-ending plays in World Series history – a fly ball to shallow left field, a catch and heady throw to double an aggressive young player off second base – stunned the Toronto Blue Jays, who will stagger into a winner-takes-all match trying to forget that the trophy could already be theirs.

The Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays will play for the World Series championship in Game 7, this Fall Classic knotted at three games apiece after the Dodgers’ 3-1 victory in Game 6.

That’s the extremely simplified version.

The deeper cut: The Blue Jays had the tying runs in scoring position and the winning run at the plate with nobody out, 44,710 fans at the Rogers Centre suddenly perked up after Dodgers ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto lulled to sleep.

And suddenly: Despair.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts pulled rookie closer Rōki Sasaki from the game after Addison Barger’s double – scorched so hard, at 105.5 mph, it wedged into the wall in left center field – put the tying runs at second and third.

The next man up? Tyler Glasnow, expected to start Game 7 but now needed to save the day. He elicited an infield pop-up from Ernie Clement, and then Andrés Giménez looped a fly ball into shallow left field. Dodgers playoff veteran Kiké Hernández closed on the ball and made a decent catch.

And Barger, still amped from his double and itching to score the tying run, wandered too far off second. Hernández fired to second baseman Miguel Rojas. Double play. Game over. Come back tomorrow.

Technically, Mookie Betts provided the decisive advantage, as the slumping superstar’s two-run single to cap a three-run third inning stood up, keeping alive the Dodgers’ chance to become the first team to repeat as World Series champions since the 1998-2000 New York Yankees.

Yet for the second time in a week, it was Yamamoto who carried the Dodgers to victory, continuing a postseason for the ages.

Coming off consecutive complete games – unheard of in this era’s postseason, and impressive enough in any – Yamamoto gave them six innings of five-hit ball, striking out six and walking one.

His totals for this World Series: Two starts, two victories, two runs given up in 15 innings – a 1.20 ERA – and 14 strikeouts to just one walk.

His totals for this postseason: Five starts, four victories, five earned runs given up in 35 2/3 innings – a 1.26 ERA – and 32 strikeouts to just five walks.

It is a definitive autumnal run, putting Yamamoto up there with the likes of Cole Hamels, Madison Bumgarner, Nathan Eovaldi and Stephen Strasburg as aces navigating the modern game’s endless rounds of playoffs – yet performing like an ace all the way through.

And now, Game 7, and another round of intrigue.

When will the Dodgers deploy the great two-way star, Shohei Ohtani, on the mound? Can Max Scherzer – who started Game 7 in the Washington Nationals’ 2019 championship, the last time baseball’s ultimate game was contested –  find one more star turn in his 41-year-old bones?

Back-to-back, or the Commissioner’s Trophy, back in Toronto?

Delicious questions to ponder. And we have Yamamoto to thank for it.

— Gabe Lacques

Here’s how Friday’s game unfolded:

Rōki Sasaki works out of jam in eighth: Dodgers 3, Blue Jays 1

Rōki Sasaki came in to pitch the eighth for the Dodgers and gave up a leadoff single to George Springer and walked Vladimir Guerrero Jr. with one out. After a mound visit, the rookie Sasaki got Bo Bichette to pop out and Daulton Varsho to ground out and strand the tying runs.

Dodgers’ Justin Wrobleski sends Game 6 to the eighth

TORONTO – In a perfect world, the Dodgers would have handed the ball from Yoshinobu Yamamoto to Rōki Sasaki in World Series Game 6, and tell the Blue Jays, ‘See you tomorrow night!’

Well, perfection is pretty hard to find in baseball, yet Justin Wrobleski made sure to replicate the Dodgers’ dream scenario. 

Wrobleski provided a gutsy seventh inning of work at Rogers Centre, striking out Alejandro Kirk and Andrés Giménez to ensure Ernie Clement’s double couldn’t hurt them. And now the Dodgers are six outs from Game 7 as they hold a 3-1 lead in the eighth inning. 

Wrobleski capped the inning by winning an eight-pitch battle with Giménez, blowing a 97 mph fastball by him and then screaming in exultation to leave the tying run at the plate. 

Who will pitch Game 7 for Dodgers?

Dave Roberts suggested that Shohei Ohtani will be in the team’s pitching plans if the Fall Classic goes the distance.

‘Win this game tonight, then we can kind of circle up and have that conversation for tomorrow,’ Roberts told reporters before Game 6.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto escapes sixth-inning jam: Dodgers 3, Blue Jays 1

TORONTO – If that was the last pitch Yoshinobu Yamamoto threw this October, it was appropriately effective. 

With his pitch count nearing 100 and the tying runs on base, the Dodgers ace buried a split-finger pitch in the dirt that Daulton Varsho could not resist, striking out the lefty to maintain the Dodgers’ 3-1 lead heading into the top of the seventh at Rogers Centre. 

Yamamoto was cruising with two outs and nobody on before Vladimir Guerrero Jr. lofted a double down the let field line, prompting a mound visit from pitching coach Mark Prior. 

And as Bo Bichette worked a seven-pitch walk, lefty Justin Wrobleski loosened up in the Dodgers bullpen. But the Dodgers stuck with their guy and on his 96th pitch, uncorked a nasty splitter that Varsho whiffed on. 

With a fully rested Rōki Sasaki lurking in the bullpen, the Dodgers are nine outs from forcing Game 7. 

Who would pitch Game 7 for Blue Jays?

The Blue Jays are expected to start 41-year-old Max Scherzer in a Game 7

Yoshinobu Yamamoto cruises through five: Dodgers 3, Blue Jays 1

TORONTO – The Dodgers are more than halfway to forcing a World Series Game 7. And the way Yoshinobu Yamamoto is pitching, that gulf to clear doesn’t look so wide. 

Yamamoto has faced just three batters over the minimum as the Dodgers take a 3-1 lead over the Blue Jays into the top of the sixth. 

Coming off consecutive complete games – a playoff feat unheard of in this era – Yamomoto is keeping  himself in the conversation for a trifecta. His only blemish came in the third inning, when George Springer cashed in Addison Barger with an RBI single to trim the Dodgers’ lead. 

In the top of the first, Max Muncy booted a grounder for an error – and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. immediately grounded into a double play. 

In the fourth, Bo Bichette’s one-out single preceded Daulton Varsho’s inning-ending double play. And in the fifth, Mookie Betts booted another grounder that was ruled a hit. No matter. Yamomoto got a fly to center from Andrés Giménez to end the inning.

And that’s done plenty to silence a stuffed Rogers Centre fixing to celebrate a championship. Alas, Yamamoto has not issued a walk while striking out five, keeping his pitch count an economical 75. 

When is Game 7 of the World Series?

If necessary, Game 7 of the World Series would be played on Saturday, Nov. 1 in Toronto.

George Springer pulls one back: Dodgers 3, Blue Jays 1

Addison Barger led off the bottom of the third with a double off Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who then retired Eenie Clement and Andres Gimenez. With two outs, George Springer had the green light on a 3-0 pitch and laced an RBI single to center field, cutting Toronto’s deficit to 3-1.

Will Smith, Mookie Betts put Dodgers in front: LA 3, Toronto 0

TORONTO – The Shohei Ohtani intentional walk has returned. And finally, Mookie Betts and the Dodgers made the Blue Jays pay. 

Will Smith ended a string of offensive futility in the third inning of World Series Game 6 by lining an RBI double down the left field line off Kevin Gausman ,and two batters after an Ohtani intentional walk, Mookie Betts lined a two-run single to left field, giving the Dodgers a 3-0 lead heading to the bottom of the third.

Ohtani famously reached base all nine times in the Dodgers’ 18-inning Game 3 victory and the thinking was he might never see another pitch to hit. 

Yet the Blue Jays navigated around Ohtani in winning Games 3 and 4, largely due to a lineup wholly ineffectual around him. In Game 6, Tommy Edman broke up Gausman’s seven-up, seven-down start with a double to the right field corner. Toronto manager John Schneider opted for a two-out intentional walk to Ohtani, and Will Smith punished him for it with an RBI single to left. 

A Freddie Freeman walk loaded the bases for Betts, whose 3-for-23 World Series performance prompted a drop from second to third and finally fourth in the lineup. 

Yet with one swing, Betts ended that schneid and one more: The Dodgers were 0-for-13 with the bases loaded before that swing. 

Kevin Gausman looks untouchable, scoreless through two

TORONTO – The Dodgers had one week to prepare for a second look at Kevin Gausman. Knew the diet would largely be split-finger fastballs. That it would behoove them to lay off the pitch. 

And they just can’t help themselves in Game 6 of the World Series. 

Gausman struck out five of the first six batters he faced – finishing all of them off with the trusty splitty – as the Blue Jays and Dodgers are locked in a scoreless tie.  Gausman served immediate notice, punching out Shohei Ohtani, getting swings and misses on three split-fingers, two out of the zone. Through two innings, he’s elicited 11 swings and misses on 15 splitters. 

This is a game the Dodgers have to win. Gausman’s early showing will only heighten the pressure on their own ace, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who also posted a pair of spotless innings. 

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. double play ends Blue Jays’ first

Yoshinobu Yamamoto gave up a one-out single to Nathan Lukes – that should have been scored an error on third baseman Max Muncy – but got Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to ground into an inning-ending double play to send the game to the second inning scoreless.

Kevin Gausman strikes out the side to start Game 6

Blue Jays starter Kevin Gausman struck out Shohei Ohtani, Will Smith and Freddie Freeman in a perfect first inning.

Gausman threw 16 pitches in the frame, 11 for strikes.

George Springer injury update

TORONTO — George Springer will not miss the Toronto Blue Jays’ chance to win their first World Series since 1993. Springer, who exited World Series Game 3 wrenching his right side on a swing, is back atop Toronto’s lineup in Game 6.

The Blue Jays came back from a 2-1 deficit to take a 3-2 World Series lead without him. Yet Springer’s playoff exploits – an .884 OPS and four home runs, including a go-ahead three-run shot in ALCS Game 7 – have not been forgotten by his teammates.

“What he’s already done for this team during the playoffs has been so big for us,’ infielder Bo Bichette said before Game 6. ‘I think having him in the lineup probably calms us all down a bit.”

Dodgers, Dave Roberts know 2025 will be failure with no ring

TORONTO — Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts knows the significance and consequences of Friday’s World Series game.

They win Friday night (8 p.m. ET on FOX) against the Toronto Blue Jays, and they extend their season, forcing a Game 7 at the Rogers Centre.

They lose, and their season is abruptly over. And, fair or not, it will be considered a failure.

This is the way it works when you have one of the highest payrolls, the most talent in the game, and are heavy favorites to repeat as World Series champions. – Bob Nightengale

World Series TV ratings looking good

TORONTO – One of the game’s top two iconic franchises, loaded with international superstars, battling Canada’s only Major League Baseball club has produced audience metrics that range from pleasantly surprising to universally bountiful.

For Major League Baseball, this Los Angeles Dodgers-Toronto Blue Jays matchup has been a global smash, what with historic performances from the incomparable Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto to the presence of the Blue Jays, who have captivated Toronto and all of Canada like never before.

Game 1 averaged 32.6 million viewers across the USA, Canada and Japan, most since Game 7 of the 2016 World Series. And its combined Game 1-2 audience of 19.8 million in USA and Canada was up 24% from last season, also the highest since that historic 2016 Cubs-Cleveland battle. — Gabe Lacques

Yoshinobu Yamamoto stats

TORONTO — It’s only that the Dodgers’ biggest pitching star of all, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, will be the one starting Friday to save their season, trying to become only the fourth pitcher in history to throw three complete games in a single postseason.

If he pitches anything like he did in Game 2, when he threw a four-hit complete game, retiring the final 20 batters of the game for the first time in a World Series game since Don Larsen’s perfect game in 1956, you can book a Game 7.

“Man, hopefully he’s a little tired,’ Blue Jays manager John Schneider said, “throwing that many innings. He’s unique because he’s got what seems like six or seven pitches, and can kind of morph into different pitchers as the game kind of goes on.’ — Bob Nightengale

Dodgers vs Blue Jays predictions for World Series Game 6

Bob Nightengale: Blue Jays 5, Dodgers 2

There’s no stopping the Jays now. They are treating opposing starters as if they’re wearing Colorado Rockies uniforms. They’ll be celebrating deep into the hockey season after this night. Expert MLB daily picks: Unique MLB betting insights only at USA TODAY

Gabe Lacques: Blue Jays 4, Dodgers 2

This series has exposed anyone tempted to be a prisoner of the moment. And Yoshinobu Yamamoto will give the Dodgers a very fighting chance to stave off elimination. But in Games 3-5 in Los Angeles, the Blue Jays outscored the Dodgers 8-1 in the seventh through ninth innings. Yamamoto won’t throw a complete game this time. And that Dodgers bullpen isn’t getting any better. 

Steve Gardner: Dodgers 3, Blue Jays 2 (10 innings)

The pitching matchup should be a great one, especially now that the bullpens have had time to reset. It’s going to be tough to manufacture runs so look for the longball to decide it, possibly off the bat of Shohei Ohtani in the late innings.

Jesse Yomtov: Dodgers 7, Blue Jays 3

Dodgers will get a couple of home runs and live to fight another day, giving us the first seven-game World Series since 2019.

TORONTO — You wanted an epic finish to the World Series? You got it.

You wanted the most drama possible, re-creating that 2023 World Baseball Classic when he struck out Mike Trout to win the gold medal for Japan? you got it.

You’re going to see Shohei Ohtani pitch in Game 7 of the World Series on just three days’ rest for the first time in his career – or perhaps play the outfield for the first time in four years if he comes on in relief.

“Everything’s on the table,’ Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said before Game 6.

“Everything,’ he reiterated.

The endless possibilities could now turn into reality after the Dodgers forced a Game 7 with a 3-1 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays behind the tremendous pitching performance of Ohtani’s countrymen from Japan. Starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto pitched six brilliant innings and rookie Roki Sasaki helped close it out, with Tyler Glasnow getting the first save in the World Series.

The Dodgers’ dominant pitching certainly spoiled the party at the Rogers Centre, with the frenzied sellout crowd hoping, believing, this could be their first World Series celebration since 1993.

Yamamoto, who left the Blue Jays at the altar in free agency two years ago, gave Toronto no chance. He shut down the Blue Jays for the second time this series, forcing the first World Series Game 7 since 2019.

Put your money on Ohtani to start considering Glasnow, who was the scheduled starter for Game 7, got the final three outs. This would allow the Dodgers keep Ohtani in the game.

Yamamoto, who has morphed into Dodgers 1988 hero Orel Hershiser this postseason, simply refused to lose Friday. He put the Dodgers on his back once again, putting them on the brink of back-to-back World Series championships.

He didn’t become just the fourth pitcher in the wild-card era to throw three consecutive complete games in the postseason … but he came close.

Yamamoto gave up just five hits and one walk in six innings and never gave in. He departed after six innings, turning the game over to the Dodgers’ beleaguered bullpen.

And they somehow survived, forcing their first Game 7 in a World Series since they lost to the 2017 Houston Astros.

Simply, Yamamoto refused to let them lose.

Roberts, who shook up his lethargic lineup for the second consecutive game, dropping Mookie Betts to the cleanuip spot for the first time since 2017, saw the strategy immediately pay dividends.

Betts, who was hitting .130 in the World Series and just .164 since the wild-card series, broke out of his slump the same time Blue Jays manager John Schneider tempted fate again by intentionally walking Ohtani with one out and Tommy Edman on second base.

Will Smith stepped to the plate, delivered a run-scoring double, and a rally was on.

Freddie Freeman walked on five pitches, loading the bases for Betts, with Betts already stranding 24 baserunners this series.

Not this time.

Betts, down 1-and-2 in the count, smacked an elevated fastball into left field for a two-run single.

It was the latest intentional walk to Ohtani that backfired.

Ohtani has been intentionally walked nine time this postseason, and the subsequent batter has hit .500 (3 for 6) with three walks.

It turned out to be the only blemish on Blue Jays starter Kevin Gausman’s performance all night.

He struck out seven of the first eight batters he faced, tying a World Series record, and after Betts’ two-run single, Gausman retired the next 10 batters through six innings.

He turned the game over to right-handed reliever Louis Varland after six innings, giving up three hits and three runs, walking two and striking out eight batters, after throwing 93 pitches.

In the end, it was the Dodgers refusing to give in, forcing a beautiful Game 7.

Stay tuned.

Charles Funk, President and & CEO, stated, ‘I wish to thank Jacques and Ken for their leadership and guidance as we have built Heliostar over the last five years. The Company has come a long way, and their contributions to this growth have been significant.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information

This news release includes certain ‘Forward-Looking Statements’ within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and ‘forward-looking information’ under applicable Canadian securities laws. When used in this news release, the words ‘anticipate’, ‘believe’, ‘estimate’, ‘expect’, ‘target’, ‘plan’, ‘forecast’, ‘may’, ‘would’, ‘could’, ‘schedule’ and similar words or expressions, identify forward-looking statements or information. These forward-looking statements or information relate to, among other things, the Company’s annual production goals.

Forward-looking statements and forward-looking information relating to the terms and completion of the Facility, any future mineral production, liquidity, and future exploration plans are based on management’s reasonable assumptions, estimates, expectations, analyses and opinions, which are based on management’s experience and perception of trends, current conditions and expected developments, and other factors that management believes are relevant and reasonable in the circumstances, but which may prove to be incorrect. Assumptions have been made regarding, among other things, the receipt of necessary approvals, price of metals; no escalation in the severity of public health crises or ongoing military conflicts; costs of exploration and development; the estimated costs of development of exploration projects; and the Company’s ability to operate in a safe and effective manner and its ability to obtain financing on reasonable terms.

These statements reflect the Company’s respective current views with respect to future events and are necessarily based upon a number of other assumptions and estimates that, while considered reasonable by management, are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, political, and social uncertainties and contingencies. Many factors, both known and unknown, could cause actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from the results, performance or achievements that are or may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements or forward-looking information and the Company has made assumptions and estimates based on or related to many of these factors. Such factors include, without limitation: precious metals price volatility; risks associated with the conduct of the Company’s mining activities in foreign jurisdictions; regulatory, consent or permitting delays; risks relating to reliance on the Company’s management team and outside contractors; risks regarding exploration and mining activities; the Company’s inability to obtain insurance to cover all risks, on a commercially reasonable basis or at all; currency fluctuations; risks regarding the failure to generate sufficient cash flow from operations; risks relating to project financing and equity issuances; risks and unknowns inherent in all mining projects, including the inaccuracy of reserves and resources, metallurgical recoveries and capital and operating costs of such projects; contests over title to properties, particularly title to undeveloped properties; laws and regulations governing the environment, health and safety; the ability of the communities in which the Company operates to manage and cope with the implications of public health crises; the economic and financial implications of public health crises, ongoing military conflicts and general economic factors to the Company; operating or technical difficulties in connection with mining or development activities; employee relations, labour unrest or unavailability; the Company’s interactions with surrounding communities; the Company’s ability to successfully integrate acquired assets; the speculative nature of exploration and development, including the risks of diminishing quantities or grades of reserves; stock market volatility; conflicts of interest among certain directors and officers; lack of liquidity for shareholders of the Company; litigation risk; and the factors identified under the caption ‘Risk Factors’ in the Company’s public disclosure documents. Readers are cautioned against attributing undue certainty to forward-looking statements or forward-looking information. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be other factors that cause results not to be anticipated, estimated or intended. The Company does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update these forward-looking statements or forward-looking information to reflect changes in assumptions or changes in circumstances or any other events affecting such statements or information, other than as required by applicable law.

Falco Resources Ltd. (TSX.V: FPC) (‘ Falco ‘ or the ‘ Corporation ‘) is pleased to announce that the Corporation has entered into binding agreements (i) with OR Royalties Inc. (‘ OR Royalties ‘) in order to extend the maturity date of the Corporation’s existing convertible secured senior loan (the ‘ OR Royalties Loan ‘) from December 31, 2025, to December 31, 2026; and (ii) with Glencore Canada Corporation (‘ Glencore ‘) in order to extend the maturity date of the Corporation’s existing senior secured convertible debenture (the ‘ Glencore Debenture ‘) from December 31, 2025, to December 31, 2026.

Luc Lessard, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation commented: ‘ The concurrent extensions of the Corporation’s senior debts demonstrate the strong relationship and long-standing support of OR Royalties and Glencore to Falco and the development of the Horne 5 Project. Such extensions provide the Corporation with additional flexibility to pursue the permitting and development of the Horne 5 Project.’

Amendments to the OR Royalties Loan

In consideration for the extension of the maturity date of the OR Royalties Loan, the OR Royalties Loan will also be amended effective as of December 31, 2025, in order for (i) the accrued interest on the existing OR Royalties Loan to be capitalized such that the principal amount of the amended OR Royalties Loan will be approximately $26,098,521, (ii) the conversion price to be maintained at $0.45 per Common Share, and (iii) the interest rate to be maintained at 9% (collectively, the ‘ OR Royalties Loan Amendments ‘). The 17,690,237 warrants of the Corporation currently held by OR Royalties (the ‘ Existing OR Royalties Warrants ‘), each exercisable for one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.58 per Common Share, will remain outstanding in accordance with their terms until their expiry on December 31, 2025. In consideration for the extension of the maturity date of the OR Royalties Loan, the Corporation will issue to OR Royalties, on December 31, 2025, 19,332,237 warrants (the ‘ New OR Royalties Warrants ‘), each exercisable at any time from and after January 1, 2026, for one common share of Falco (the ‘ Common Shares ‘) at an exercise price of $0.58 per Common Share and expiring on December 31, 2026.

Amendments to the Glencore Debenture

In consideration for the extension of the maturity date of the Glencore Debenture, the Glencore Debenture will also be amended effective as of December 31, 2025 (the ‘ Amended Glencore Debenture ‘) in order for (i) the accrued interest on the existing Glencore Debenture up to December 31, 2025, to be capitalized such that the principal amount of the amended Glencore Debenture will be approximately $15,433,754, (ii) the conversion price to be maintained at $0.37 per Common Share, and (iii) the interest rate to be maintained at 10% (collectively, the ‘ Glencore Debenture Amendments ‘). The 19,424,944 Common Share purchase warrants currently held by Glencore (the ‘ Existing Glencore Warrants ‘) will remain outstanding in accordance with their terms until their expiry on December 31, 2025. In consideration for the extension of the maturity date of the Glencore Debenture, the Corporation will issue to Glencore, on December 31, 2025, 21,381,422 warrants (the ‘ New Glencore Warrants ‘), each exercisable at any time from and after January 1, 2026, at an exercise price of (i) $0.38 per Common Share for 15,061,158 of the New Glencore Warrants and (ii) $0.42 per Common Share for the remaining 6,320,264 New Glencore Warrants, and expiring on December 31, 2026.

The OR Royalties Loan Amendments and the issuance of the New OR Royalties Warrants (the ‘ OR Royalties Transactions ‘) are considered ‘related party transactions’ under Regulation 61-101 respecting Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (‘ Regulation 61-101 ‘). The OR Royalties Transactions are exempt from the requirements to obtain a formal valuation pursuant to section 5.5(b) of Regulation 61-101. However, Falco is required to obtain minority approval for the OR Royalties Transactions as none of the exemptions contained under Regulation 61-101 are currently available to the Corporation.

Closing of the OR Royalties Transactions is conditional upon (i) obtaining minority approval of the shareholders of the Corporation, excluding the Common Shares held by the directors and officers of OR Royalties, to be sought at the special meeting of shareholders of the Corporation to be held on December 15, 2025 (the ‘ Shareholders’ Meeting ‘), (ii) approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, and (iii) concurrent closing of the Glencore Debenture Amendments and the issuance of the New Glencore Warrants on the terms described herein.

Closing of the Glencore Debenture Amendments and the issuance of the New Glencore Warrants is conditional upon (i) approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, and (ii) concurrent closing of the OR Royalties Transactions on the terms described herein. Subject to satisfaction of such conditions, closing of the OR Royalties Loan Amendments and the Glencore Debenture Amendments, and closing of the OR Royalties Transactions is expected to occur concurrently on December 31, 2025. Additional information will be included in the management proxy circular to be filed at www.sedarplus.ca.

Prior to the transactions contemplated by this press release, OR Royalties held the OR Royalties Loan in the principal amount of $23,881,821, which is convertible into 53,070,713 Common Shares and also held 17,690,237 Existing OR Royalties Warrants, representing approximately 17.01% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a partially diluted basis assuming the conversion in full of the OR Royalties Loan and the exercise in full of the 17,690,237 Existing OR Royalties Warrants. Immediately following closing, on a partially diluted basis assuming the conversion in full of the OR Royalties Loan and the exercise in full of the New OR Royalties Warrants, OR Royalties would have beneficial ownership of, or control and direction over 77,328,950 Common Shares, representing approximately 18.30% of the Common Shares issued and outstanding.
