("Stifel") for a private placement to raise aggregate gross proceeds of up to $6,998,000 (the "Offering"). The Offering will be comprised of up to 17,850,000 units (the "Units") offered at a price of $0.28 per Unit and up to 6,250,000 "flow-through" shares (the "FT Shares") offered at a price of $0.32 per FT Share.

The Offering is being made by Stifel as sole lead agent and a syndicate on a best efforts basis and is expected to close on or about October 11, 2012. The Offering is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals.
The agents will be paid a cash commission of 6% of the gross proceeds from the Offering and will be issued that number of compensation warrants equal to 6% of the aggregate number of Units and FT Shares sold pursuant to the Offering, such compensation warrants having the same terms as the Units.
The Company has agreed to grant Stifel an over-allotment option (exercisable up to 48 hours prior to the closing of the Offering) which will allow Stifel to offer up to an additional 20% of the number of FT Shares or Units (or combination of FT Shares and Units) issued under the Offering.
The aggregate gross proceeds raised from the sale of FT Shares will be used by the Company to incur exploration expenditures on its precious metals properties. Proceeds raised from the sale of Units will be used for exploration and working capital purposes.
The FT Shares and Units will be subject to the customary securities law and TSX-V resale restrictions lasting four months and a day from the date of issue.
