months from the date of issuance.
The gross proceeds allocable to the FT Shares comprising the Units will be used for
“Canadian exploration expenses” (within the meaning of the Tax Act), which will
qualify, once renounced, as “flow -through mining expenditures”, as defined in the Tax
Act, which will be renounced with an effective date of no later than December 31,
2019 (provided the subscriber deals at arm’s length with the Corporation at all relevant
times) to the initial purchasers of Units in an aggregate amount not less than the gross
proceeds raised from the issue of the Units which are allocable to the FT Shares.
In connection with the second tranche of the Private Placement , certain arm’s -length
finders received an aggregate of $ 50,000 as a cash finder’s commission and an
aggregate of 263,157 finder’s warrants having the same attributes as the Warrants.
