Cash finders' fees of 6% on a portion of the gross proceeds raised under the Private Placement, totaling $142,896, will be paid to certain finders at arm's length to the Company.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Private Placement for the continued development and construction of its Moss Mine Gold/Silver Project located in Mohave County, Arizona. All of the securities issued under the initial tranche of the Private Placement are subject to a hold period under applicable Canadian securities laws expiring on November 14, 2017.
