Each NFT Unit is comprised of one non-flow-through common share and one Warrant. Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one common non-flow through common share of the Corporation at a price of $0.048 for a period of 24 months from its issuance.
In connection with the First Tranche, the Corporation paid cash finder's fees of $107,363.84 and issued 2,143,200 finder's warrants (each, a "Finder's Warrant") to an eligible finder. Each Finder's Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one common share of the Corporation at a price of $0.048 for a period of 24 months from its issuance.
All securities issued in connection with the Private Placement are subject to a statutory hold period of 4 months and a day from the closing of each tranche of the Private Placement in accordance with applicable securities laws. The Corporation will use the proceeds of the Private Placement for general exploration and working capital, and the proceeds raised from the sale of the FT Units will be used for eligible flow-through expenditures. The Private Placement is subject to the final approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE").
