occurrences and previous data will be compiled along with the airborne data, followed up by a detailed prospecting and
geological mapping program.
The terms of the Option, which remains subject to regulatory approval, are as follows:
White Metal shall issue to Sokoman:
i) upon regulatory approval,
500,000 common shares of the Company;
ii) 500,000 common shares on or before December 18, 2019;
iii) 500,000 common shares on or before December 18, 2020; and;
iv) 500,000 common shares on or before December 18, 2021.
The Startrek Gold Property is subject to a 2% Net Smelter Return Royalty in favour of the original owner; and, a 1% Net Smelter
Return Royalty in favour of Sokoman, one-half of which can be purchased by the Company for $500,000.
The Company also announces a proposed financing of up to $300,000 at $0.05 per unit, each unit consisting of one flow through
common share plus one warrant, each warrant exercisable at $0.15 to acquire a common share of the Company for a period of
24 months, subject to the exercise period being accelerated by notice to holders of such warrants, at the option of the Company,
if the common shares of the Company close above $0.30 for ten consecutive days on the Toronto Venture Exchange, subject to
