The concurrent non-brokered private placement financing will now consist of 9,600,000 Units at the Offering Price for aggregate gross proceeds of $816,000 (the “*Concurrent Non-Brokered Placement*”).
Each Unit will consist of one common share of the Company and one common share purchase warrant (the “*Unit Warrants*”). Each Unit Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one additional common share of the Company at a price of $0.1275 per share for two years from the date of issuance.
The gross proceeds from the Bought Deal and (if fully subscribed) the Concurrent Non-Brokered Placement in the aggregate amount of $2,771,000 will be used to advance exploration on the Company’s current projects in the following approximate amounts: $500,000 for exploration on current projects, $950,000 on generation of new projects, $150,000 for marketing of projects to funding partners, with the remainder for general corporate purposes.
