Gross proceeds from the flow through units will be used by the Company for exploration expenditures on its properties located in the Timmins Gold District in Northern Ontario. The proceeds from the common share units will be used for general corporate purposes.

In connection with the financing, McLaren paid a finder's fee by way of issuance of 280,000 common shares at a value of $0.05 per share. As a result of the financing Accilent Capital Management Inc., a principal shareholder of the Company as finder and also as subscriber of flow through units and common share units through its affiliate Pavillion Flow-Through LP., has increased its direct and indirect holding of voting securities of the Company from 13.1% to 21.59% on a fully diluted basis.
