No warrants will be included in the private placement.

The Offering

The maximum Offering is 5,000,000 Shares for gross proceeds of $150,000. The Offering is not subject to any minimum subscription, and certain insiders of the Company have agreed to participate in the Offering, with full particulars of such participation to be included in the news release announcing the closing of the Offering. The proceeds of the Offering will be used by Northisle to fund property maintenance and public company administrative expenses, including legal, audit and shareholder communication costs for the remainder of the year.

The North Island Copper-Gold Project

The North Island Copper-Gold Project is situated approximately 15-40 kilometres southwest of Port Hardy on Vancouver Island and contains the Hushamu and Red Dog Deposits and five other partially explored copper-gold porphyry occurrences.

The Company has a current resource estimate of the Hushamu Deposit which has been filed on Sedar. The project is 100% owned by Northisle.

The Red Dog Property, which lies 10km by road from the Hushamu Deposit, hosts a historical mineral resource of 20 million tonnes grading 0.30% copper, 0.55gpt gold and 0.012% molybdenum. The reader is cautioned that a qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current resources and Northisle is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources. The historical resource is open to the west where there is a 1km wide untested Induced Polarization chargeability anomaly.
