Each full FT warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one additional flow-through common share of the company at an exercise price of five cents per common share for a period of one year from the date of issue.
Shares issued pursuant to the FT units will entitle the holder to receive the tax benefits applicable to flow-through shares, in accordance with provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada).
