Qualifying expenses are to be incurred by no later than December 31, 2021 for renunciation to investors of FT Shares in the Offering effective December 31, 2020. The balance of the proceeds of the Offering will be used to advance the Company's gold exploration projects in Ghana, and for general corporate and working capital purposes.
