If the Qualifying Expenditures are reduced by the Canada Revenue Agency, the Company will indemnify each Flow-Through Shares subscriber for any additional taxes payable by such subscriber as a result of the Company's failure to renounce the Qualifying Expenditures.

The planned RC holes are permitted to drill three fences bordering Agnico Eagles’ Detour Lake Mine property. In addition to the exploration, proceeds from the Units private placement will be used for corporate working capital.
