In total, the Company has now closed 3,119,999 units in two tranches for total gross proceeds of $234,000. Each FT Unit consists of one common share of the Company that qualifies as a "flow-through share" for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and one-half of one common share purchase warrant, with each whole warrant exercisable to purchase one additional non-flow-through common share at an exercise price of $0.12 for a period of 18 months, subject to the following acceleration provision: if at any time after 4 months from the date of issue of the warrants the closing market price of the Company's common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange is greater than $0.35 per share for 20 consecutive trading days (the "Triggering Event"), the Company may, within 5 days of the Triggering Event, accelerate the expiry date of the warrants by giving notice thereof to the holders of the warrants, by way of press release, in which event the warrants will expire on the 30th day after the date on which such notice is given.

Securities issued in this tranche of the private placement include a legend restricting trading of the securities until February 3, 2021. Finder's fees of 6% cash and 6% finder's warrants are payable on a portion of the private placement. The private placement and payment of finder's fees are subject to TSX Venture Exchange acceptance.
