In connection with the Final Tranche, the Company paid cash finder’s fees of $19,845 and issued 56,700 finder’s warrants (the “Finder Warrants”) to eligible finders. Each Finder Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Share at a price of $0.35 for a period of 24 months following the date hereof. The Final Tranche remains subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
All securities issued in connection with the Final Tranche are subject to a statutory hold period of four-months and one-day. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Final Tranche for the recommencement of mining at the Kombat mine and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
Certain of the directors and officers of the Company have subscribed for Units pursuant to the Final Tranche (the “Insider Participation”). The Insider Participation will be considered to be a “related party transaction” as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 (“MI 61-101”).
