Each whole warrant is exercisable to purchase one common share of the Company for a period of 24 months from the date of issue at a price of $0.50. The Warrants will have an acceleration provision whereby if the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange is at a price equal to or greater than $0.60 for a period of 10 consecutive trading days, the Company will have the right to accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants, whereby the Warrants will expire 30 days from the date of the notice to the Warrant holders.

The common shares, Warrants and common shares underlying the Warrants are subject to a four-month hold period commencing on the date of closing of the Offering.

In connection with the closing of the Private Placement, the Company issued an aggregate of 100,200 broker warrants (the "Broker Warrants") and paid an aggregate of $27,550 in cash to certain finders (collectively, the "Finders"). Each Broker Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one common share of the Company until March 11, 2020 at an exercise price of $0.50 per share.

The Securities, the Broker Warrants and the securities issuable upon the exercise of the Broker Warrants issued to the Finders (the "Issued Securities") were issued pursuant to applicable exemptions from the prospectus requirements under applicable securities laws.
