The Company now proposes to issue up to 5,000,000 units ("Units") at a price of $0.05 per Unit for gross proceeds up to $250,000 (the "Offering"). Each Unit is comprised of one common share of the Company and one common share purchase warrant ("Warrant"), with each Warrant being exercisable to acquire one common share of the Company at a price of $0.10 for a period of 24 months following the closing date of the Offering.
The securities issued under the private placement will be subject to a four-month hold period from the date of closing. The closing of the private placement is subject to, among other things, acceptance from the TSX Venture Exchange.
