In addition, Wescan is pleased to announce that, due to investor demand, Wescan is increasing the number of
Units offered pursuant to the Offering from up to 2,000,000 to up to 4,000,000, with the aggregate gross
proceeds from the Unit component of the Offering increasing from up to $100,000 to up to $200,000.
The First Tranche consisted of the issuance of: (i) 600,000 Flow-Through Shares at a price of $0.06 per Flow-
Through Share; and (ii) 2,600,000 Units at a price of $0.05 per Unit, for aggregate gross proceeds of $166,000.
No Insiders participated in the First Tranche of the Offering.
As previously announced, each Unit consists of one common share in the capital of the Company (each, a

The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Offering to incur Canadian exploration expenses on the
Company's gold properties (collectively, the "Qualifying Expenditures") and for general working capital
purposes. Wescan will renounce the Qualifying Expenditures to subscribers of the Flow-Through Shares.
