In the First Tranche, which closed on January 11, 2023, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,700,000 Units for gross proceeds of $675,000, with each Unit consisting of one common share in the capital of the Company (each, a "Share") and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant").

In the event that the Shares trade at a price of $1.00 or more for ten (10) consecutive trading days, the Company may, at its option, accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants by providing notice (the "Acceleration Notice") to the Warrant holders by way of a news release that the Warrants will expire on the 30th day from the date of the Acceleration Notice.
The Company has agreed to pay finder's fees of $6,475 in cash and issue an aggregate of 19,600 warrants (the "Finder's Warrants") to certain persons in connection with a portion of the Offering. The Finder's Warrants are non-transferable and are exercisable into Shares on the same terms as the Warrants issued in the First Tranche.
The Company expects to use the net proceeds from the Offering to fund exploration expenses and potential acquisitions, as well as for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
The closing of the First Tranche is subject to the receipt of all required regulatory approvals including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. All securities to be issued in the First Tranche will be subject to a four month and one day hold period in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.
