further to its news releases dated January 5, January 12, and February 14, 2023, it has closed the
second and final tranche of its non-brokered private placement (the "
Offering

consecutive trading days, the Company may, at its option, accelerate the Warrant expiry date by
providing notice (the "
Acceleration Notice
") to the Warrant holders by way of a news release that the
Warrants will expire on the 30
th
day from the date of the Acceleration Notice.
Finder's fees under the Offering consisted of $4,900 and 19,600 finder's warrants. The finder's warrants
are non-transferable, are exercisable at a price of $0.50 per Share for a period of 2 years, and are
subject to the same acceleration terms as the warrants issued in the Offering.
The net proceeds from the Offering will be used to fund acquisitions, exploration, working capital and
other general corporate purposes. However, none of the proceeds from the Offering will be used towards
the acquisition of the Roslyn Property until Exchange approval has been received for this property
acquisition.
All securities to be issued pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a four month and one day hold
period in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.
The securities offered have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of

within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons unless registered under the
U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, unless an exemption from such registration is
