 EXPLANATORY NOTE

 This Amendment No. 1 to the annual report of Rigel
Resource Acquisition Corp (the "Company") on Form 10-K/A amends the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2023, which was originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March
22, 2024 (the "Original Form 10-K"). The Company is filing this Amendment solely to amend and restate Part II, Item 9A in
its entirety of the Original Form 10-K to disclose in its management report on internal controls over financial reporting, management's
conclusion that the Company's internal controls over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2023.

 In accordance with interpretation 246.13 in the
Regulation S-K section of the SEC's "Compliance & Disclosure Interpretations," paragraph 3 of each of the certifications
required under Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 by the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial
officer, as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2, has been omitted. Because no financial statements have been included in this Amendment, the Company
is not filing currently dated certifications pursuant to Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

 Except as specifically noted above, this Amendment
does not modify or update disclosures in the Original Form 10-K. This Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the filing of
the Original Form 10-K or modify or update any related or other disclosures, other than those discussed herein. Accordingly, this Amendment
should be read in conjunction with the Original Form 10-K and the Company's other filings with the SEC subsequent to the filing
of the Original Form 10-K.

 Item 9.A. Controls and Procedures.

 Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring
 that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange
 Act, such as this Annual Report, are recorded, processed, summarized, and reported
 within the time period specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring
 that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including
 the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely
 decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, with the participation of
 our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive officer
 and principal financial officer, respectively), evaluated the effectiveness of our
 disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2023, and noted the following deficiency that we believe to be a material weakness in
 internal controls over financial reporting as (i) the Company's processes to ensure its financial statements were properly presented in accordance
 with GAAP did not operate effectively. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded
 that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2023.

 During the year ended December 31, 2023,
we have instituted plans to remediate the material weakness and will continue to take remediation steps, including devoting additional
resources to the improvement of our internal control over financial reporting as it relates to the accounting treatment for complex financial
instruments. While we have processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements, we are enhancing these processes
to better evaluate our research and understanding of the nuances of the complex accounting standards that apply to our securities and
financial statements. We have also added additional layers of management oversight on the accrual of operating expenses and valuation
of complex financial instruments. As we continue to evaluate and improve our internal control over financial reporting, management will
review and make necessary changes to the overall design of our internal controls. While we believe these efforts will remediate the material
weakness, the material weakness cannot be considered fully remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient
period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that the controls are operating effectively.

 If we identify any new material weakness in the future, any such newly identified
 material weakness could limit our ability to prevent or detect a misstatement of our
 accounts or disclosures that could result in a material misstatement of our annual
 or interim financial statements. In such case, we may be unable to maintain compliance
 with securities law requirements regarding timely filing of periodic reports in addition
 to applicable stock exchange listing requirements, investors may lose confidence in
 our financial reporting and our stock price may decline as a result. We cannot assure
 you that the measures we have taken to date, or any measures we may take in the future,
 will be sufficient to avoid potential future material weaknesses.

 We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors
 and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well
 conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that
 the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design
 of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource
 constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because
 of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation
 of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have
 detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of
 disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about
 the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will
 succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

 Management's Annual Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control
 over financial reporting, as defined under Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 14d-14(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is designed
 to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and
 the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
 accepted accounting principles.

 All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations
 and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined
 to be effective can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial reporting
 reliability and financial statement preparation and presentation. In addition, projections
 of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls
 become inadequate because of changes in conditions and that the degree of compliance
 with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023 (the "Evaluation Date"). In making the assessment, management
used the criteria issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) in Internal Control-Integrated
Framework. Based on its assessment, management concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our Company's internal control over financial
reporting was deemed not effective.

 Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 Except as described above, there was no change in our internal control over financial
 reporting that occurred during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, covered by this Annual Report, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely
 to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
