Each Unit will consist of one common share in the capital of the Company (a “Common Share”) and one non-transferable common share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”), each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase an additional common share in the capital of the Company (a “Warrant Share”) for a period of 24 months from the closing date at a price of $1.10 per Warrant Share.

The Company wishes to fill the vacancy created by the current resignation, with the appointment of Mr. Arvin Ramos. Mr. Ramos holds a degree in commerce and has over 15 years of business experience, having supported a broad range of industries, including mining, technology and banking. During the same period, he has served as CFO of several junior mining companies. Mr. Ramos will be granted 100,000 options to purchase common shares of the Company exercisable at a price of $0.60 per common share and expiring on May 29, 2025. The common shares issuable upon exercise of the options are subject to a four-month hold period from the original date of grant.

The Offering is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of securities being issued to the related party nor the consideration being paid by the related party will exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization. A material change report in respect of the related party transaction was not filed at least 21 days in advance of the closing of Offering due to the Company’s immediate need to address its financial situation.
