holders will have 30 days to exercise their warrants after receiving notice via a news release issued by the Company.
In connection with the first tranche, the Company paid aggregate finder's fees of $93,950 in cash, and issued 763,850 non-
transferable compensation options and 175,650 non-transferable finder's warrants. Each compensation option is exercisable at
a price of $0.10 per unit to acquire either: (a) one common share and one warrant until December 20, 2021; or (b) one common
share until December 20, 2024. Each warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share at a price of $0.14 per share for
a period of two years from the date of issuance.
The net proceeds from the financing places Getchell in the position to execute, pending completion of due diligence, on the
Binding Letter Agreement that gives Getchell the option to acquire the advanced stage gold exploration assets, the Fondaway
Canyon and Dixie Comstock properties (the "
Properties
") located in Nevada, from Canarc (see news release dated October
17, 2019).
In addition, the funds can be directed at further exploration of the Company's Star Point and Hot Springs Peak
properties, and general working capital."

expiring on April 21, 2020, in accordance with applicable securities laws.
The Company issued a total of 100,000 common shares to an insider who is a senior officer and director of the Company under
the private placement in consideration for an aggregate of $10,000. The participation of the insider in the private placement
constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 -
Protection of Minority Security

"). The Company has relied on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority
shareholder requirements of MI 61-101 pursuant to section 5.5(a) and section 5.7(1)(a) in respect of related party participation in
