Each Unit issued pursuant to the Offering is comprised of one common share of the Company (each, a "Unit Share") and one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant").

Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share of the Company (each, a "Warrant Share") at a price of C$0.26 at any time on or before December 22, 2023.
Red Cloud Securities Inc. (the "Agent") acted as sole agent and bookrunner under the Offering. In connection with the Offering, the Company paid the Agent an aggregate cash commission of approximately C$276,363, equal to five per cent (5.0%) of the gross proceeds raised under the Offering (the "Broker Commission") (except for certain of those purchasers listed on the president's list (the "President's List"), to which no commission was paid). The Company also issued to the Agent 1,152,903 broker warrants (the "Broker Warrants" and, together with the Broker Commission, the "Commission"), equal to five percent (5.0%) percent of the Offered Units sold pursuant to the Offering (except for certain of those Offered Units sold to purchasers on the President's List). Each Broker Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one common share in the capital of the Company at a price of C$0.21 at any time on or before December 22, 2023.
In addition to the Commission, pursuant to the Offering and in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"), the Company (i) paid Canaccord Genuity Corp., Haywood Securities Inc., and Ocean Wall Limited (the "Finders") a cash fee totaling $140,208.49, and (ii) issued the Finders an aggregate of 621,111 common share purchase warrants (the "Finders' Warrants").

The Company intends to use the proceeds raised from the Offering for future exploration work on the Company's projects, corporate development and general corporate and working capital purposes. The gross proceeds from the issuance of the FT Shares will be used for "Canadian Exploration Expenses" (within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) (the "Qualifying Expenditures"), which will be renounced with an effective date no later than December 31, 2021 to the purchasers of the FT Units and Charity FT Units in an aggregate amount not less than the gross proceeds raised from the issue of the FT Shares. If the Qualifying Expenditures are reduced by the Canada Revenue Agency, the Company will indemnify each subscriber of FT Units and Charity FT Units for any additional taxes payable by such subscriber as a result of the Company's failure to renounce the Qualifying Expenditures.
