Qualified persons acting as finders in connection with the Private Placement will receive a cash commission of up to 7% of the proceeds raised from persons introduced to the Company by the finders and non-transferable units ("Finders' Units") equal to up to 7% of the number of Units sold to persons introduced to the Company by the finders. Each Finders' Unit will be comprised of one common share of the Company and one half of one non-transferable common share purchase warrant having the same terms as the subscribers' Warrants.

Blackheath intends to expend the proceeds raised from the Private Placement on exploration of its past-producing tungsten projects in northern Portugal, including Covas, Borralha and Vale das Gatas and for general working capital purposes.

All securities issued under the Private Placement will be subject to a four month hold period from the closing date under applicable Canadian securities laws, in addition to such other restrictions as may apply under applicable securities laws of jurisdictions outside Canada.
