Each whole Incentive Warrant will allow the holder to acquire one Share at an exercise price of $0.20 for a period of two years following the date of the issuance of the Incentive Warrant.
Each August Warrant is currently exercisable to purchase one Share at $0.12 until August 6, 2022, each May 18 Warrant is exercisable until May 18, 2023 to acquire one Share at a price of $0.12, and each May 21 Warrant is exercisable until May 21, 2023 to acquire one Share at a price of $0.12. If a holder does not exercise its Outstanding Warrants before 5:00 p.m. E.T. on December 15, 2021 (or only partially exercises them), these warrants (or the portion of them that are not exercised) will remain outstanding and continue to be exercisable on their existing terms.
Holders of Outstanding Warrants who elect to participate in the Program will be required to deliver the following to the Company on or prior to 5:00 p.m. E.T. on December 15, 2021:
- a duly completed and executed exercise Form, in the form which accompanies the certificate representing the Outstanding Warrants;
- the original certificate representing the Outstanding Warrants being exercised; and
- the applicable aggregate exercise price ($0.12 per Outstanding Warrant) payable to the Company by way of certified cheque, money order, bank draft, or wire transfer in lawful money of Canada.
The proceeds from the early exercise of the Outstanding Warrants will be used for exploration on the Company's mineral projects, with a focus on the Oko West project in Guyana, and for general working capital.
The Incentive Warrants and any Shares issued upon the exercise of the Incentive Warrants will be subject to a hold period expiring four months after the date of distribution of the Incentive Warrants.
Insiders of the Company hold 12,977,836 August Warrants and 13,961,652 May Warrants, including 3,602,836 August Warrants and 6,269,345 May Warrants held by directors and officers of the Company.

Such participation is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 based on the fact that neither the fair market value of the Shares subscribed for by the insiders, nor the consideration for the Shares paid by such insiders, would exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.
