(the "Financing") by the issuance of 9,200,000 units of the Company (the "Units") priced at $0.15 per
Unit for total gross proceeds of $1.38 million.
Each Unit consists of one common share in the capital of

$0.25 per Share for a period of 18 months.
The proceeds of the Financing are intended to fund ongoing work at the Company's gold and copper
exploration projects and for general working capital.
In connection with the Financing, the Company paid finder's fees consisting of $70,314.28 in cash and
issued 468,761 non-transferable finder's warrants (each, a "Finder's Warrant") to Leede Jones Gable
Inc. Each Finder's Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Share at a price of $0.15 per
Share for a period of 12 months.
All securities issued in connection with the Financing are subject to a hold period ending on September

The Financing is subject to final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV").
An insider of the Company subscribed for 1,385,960 Units. Such participation is considered to be a
"related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101"). The Company
is relying on the exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-
