Each Flow-Through Unit will consist of one common share of the Company issued as a "flow-through share" (within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and section 359.1 of the Taxation Act (Québec)) and one-half of one common share purchase warrant of the Company (each whole common share purchase warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one common share of the Company at a price of $2.40 per share for a period of 24-months from the Closing Date (as defined herein).

The Company has granted the Underwriters an option, exercisable in whole or in part at any time up to 48 hours prior to the Closing Date (as defined herein), to arrange for the purchase of up to an additional 726,000 Flow-Through Units at the Offering Price (the "Underwriters' Option" and together with the Underwritten Offering, the "Offering"). The Offering is expected to close on or about March 8, 2022 (the "Closing Date") and is subject to the Company receiving all necessary regulatory approvals.

The gross proceeds of the Offering will be used by the Company to incur eligible "Canadian exploration expenses" that will qualify as "flow-through mining expenditures" as such terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) and, in respect of Québec resident subscribers who are eligible individuals, will qualify for inclusion in the "exploration base relating to certain Québec surface mining or oil and gas exploration expenses" and the "exploration base relating to certain Québec exploration expenses" of the Corporation as such terms are defined in the Taxation Act (Québec) (the "Qualifying Expenditures") related to the Company's properties located in Quebec, Canada on or before December 31, 2022. All Qualifying Expenditures will be renounced in favour of the subscribers effective December 31, 2022.

The Flow-Through Units will be offered by way of private placement pursuant to applicable exemptions from prospectus requirements in each of the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec and in such other jurisdictions as may be mutually agreed between the Company and the Underwriters. The securities issues under the Offering will be subject to a four month hold period under applicable Canadian securities laws.

The securities to be offered pursuant to the Offering have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act") or any U.S. state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, United States persons absent registration or any applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable U.S. state securities laws.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
