101 valuation and minority approval requirements for related party transactions in connection with the Offering under sections
5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value (as determined under MI 61-101) of the subject matter of, nor
the fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction, insofar as it involves the Related Parties, exceeds 25% of the
Company’s market capitalization (as determined under MI 61-101)
The Company paid aggregate cash finder’s fees totaling $39,962.15 and issued 380,508 in non-transferable finder's warrants
(the "Finder's Warrants"). Each Finder's Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one (1) common share of the Company

The Company plans to use the net proceeds raised from the sale of the HD Units and FT Units under the Offering for the
exploration and advancement of the Company’s Montcalm nickel copper cobalt project, the Warren copper nickel project and,
in respect of the HD Unit proceeds, for general working capital purposes.
