("2176423 Ontario"), his holding company, has entered into a voting support agreement with Jayden and Ascot Resources Ltd. ("Ascot") in connection with Ascot's proposed acquisition (the "Transaction") of all of the shares of Jayden's subsidiary, Jayden Resources (Canada) Inc., in exchange for Ascot common shares. 2176423 Ontario holds 12,500,000 common shares of Jayden ("Shares") and 12,500,000 Share purchase warrants ("Warrants"), representing approximately 14.2% of the outstanding Shares and 24.8% on a partially diluted basis assuming exercise of such Warrants.

Mr. Sprott intends to hold the Shares and Warrants through 2176423 Ontario for investment purposes and to support the Transaction, and may acquire additional securities of Jayden from time to time. If the Transaction does not close, Mr. Sprott may acquire additional securities of Jayden either on the open market or through private acquisitions or sell the securities either on the open market or through private dispositions in the future depending on market conditions, reformulation of plans and/or other relevant factors.
