Non-Brokered Private Placement
The Company has sold 5,600,000 Units for total gross proceeds of $420,000 Pursuant to the first tranche. Each unit is comprised of one common share of the Issuer (“Share”) and one share purchase warrant (“Warrant”).

The Warrants are subject to an accelerated expiry stating that if at any time, after the standard 4 month hold period, the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange exceeds $0.20 for any 10 consecutive days (or closing bid price on days when there are no trades), the warrant holder will be given written notice of such date and issuing a news release announcing such date, the warrants will only be exercisable for a period of 30 days following the date on which such written notice is sent to the subscribers.

The Company has sold 120 Units for total gross proceeds of $120,000 Pursuant to the first tranche. Each Unit consists of: (a) one 12% unsecured convertible debenture (“Debentures”) in the principal amount of $1,000; and (b) 10,000 common share purchase warrants (“Warrants”).
