closing of its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the “Private Placement”). An aggregate of 16,950,000

Each Unit consists of (i) one common share of the Company (a “Common Share”); and (ii) one common share purchase warrant

December 12, 2017, subject to early acceleration as described in the Company’s press release dated December 2, 2016.
An aggregate of 16,950,000 Units were issued at $0.08 per Unit. The Company paid finder’s fees to certain qualified eligible
persons assisting the Company in the Private Placement in the aggregate amount of $85,860 (equal to 7% of the gross proceeds raised
by such finders). The Company also issued an aggregate of 1,071,000 broker warrants (“Broker Warrants”) to qualified
eligible persons as is equal to 7% of the aggregate number of Units sold by such finders, each such Broker Warrant entitling the
holder to acquire one Common Share for a period of 12 months at an exercise price equal to $0.11.
“The significant support from long-term shareholders for the development of the Ochoa project has been instrumental”, stated
Mehdi Azodi, President & CEO of IC Potash.
