In conjunction with the RTO, the Company has also issued 2,374,500 warrants (the “Exchange Warrants”) in exchange for 2,374,000 outstanding Lithoquest warrants, each Exchange Warrant entitling the holder to purchase one share of the Company for a period of 24 months at a price of $0.30 (as to 2,362,000 shares) and $0.20 (as to 12,000 shares).

Each Unit consisted of one common share and one-half (1/2) of one share purchase warrant, each whole warrant entitling the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at a price of $0.40 for a period of 24 months from Closing.

The net proceeds from the Financing will be used to fund, among other things, the balance of the costs of the RTO, initial exploration of Lithoquest’s North Kimberley diamond project in Western Australia and the general corporate and working capital expenses of the Company following completion of the RTO.
