The holders of the Notes shall be granted certain security in respect of the Company’s ore purchases. In addition, the purchasers of the Notes shall be granted pre-emptive rights during the time they hold the Notes to participate in any future debt securities of the Company where the principal purpose of the financing is the purchase of ore. Each Debt Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one additional common share in the capital of the Company (a "Debt Warrant Share") until the date which is three years following the Closing Date at a price of CAD$0.25 per Debt Warrant Share. The Company paid US$96,295 and issued 116,125 Debt Warrants as finder’s fee in connection with the Debt Units issued.

The net proceeds of the Debt Offering will be segregated and used to fund and maintain a minimum of two months inventory ore purchases and a US$250,000 installation of carbon stripping on the toll milling plant, located in Huamachuco, Peru. The net proceeds of the Equity Offering will be used to fund upgrades and operations of the toll milling plant and general working capital.
About Standard Tolling Corp.
Through its wholly owned subsidiary, Standard Tolling owns and is commissioning the 150 TPD custom tolling facility in Huamachuco which services the legal small mining communities of northern Peru. Under the progressive new formalization mandate, the Peruvian government has enacted legislation to curtail illegal mining by requiring all toll processing operations to purchase only compliant ores. This has created significant opportunity for well run, well funded operators to gain market share as older poorly capitalized players with poor technology are phased out.
