exercise price of $1.00 per share for a period of twenty four (24) months, subject to accelerated expiry provisions whereby in the
event the closing price of the Company’s common shares exceeds $1.50 per share for a period of 20 consecutive trading days, at the
Company’s election, the 24 month period within which the Warrants are exercisable will be reduced and the holders of the Warrants
will be entitled to exercise their Warrants for a period of 30 days commencing on the day the Company provides the acceleration
notice.
The Company intends to pay cash commission of up to 7.0% of gross proceeds and broker warrants equal in number
to up to 7.0% the number of Units sold, payable to registrants.

Prospectus Exemption for Certain Distributions through an Investment Dealer (“CSA 45-318”) and the corresponding
instruments, orders and rules implementing CSA 45-318 in the participating jurisdictions (collectively with CSA 45-318, the
“Investment Dealer Exemption”). In addition to conducting the Offering pursuant to the Investment Dealer Exemption, the Company

In accordance with the Investment Dealer Exemption, the Company advises that, as at the date hereof, there is no
material fact or material change in respect of the Company that has not been generally disclosed. Additionally, the Company advises
that there is no minimum number of Units being offered pursuant to the Offering.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering as follows: $1.5 million for drilling and
exploration; $1.5 million for metallurgy and processing testing; and the remaining amount will be used for general corporate
purposes and working capital.
