The aggregate gross proceeds from the Offering will be used to advance the Treasure Mountain project towards production, for resource exploration, for debt repayment and for general working capital purposes. The gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the Flow-Through Shares will be used to incur eligible Canadian Exploration Expenses for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and an amount equal to such gross proceeds will be renounced in favour of the holders with an effective date of no later than December 31, 2012.
