Prior to the end of January 2022, the Company anticipates closing an additional final tranche consisting of HD Units (the "Additional Tranche", and together with the First Tranche, the "Offering").

The net proceeds from the Offering will be used to fund the Company's exploration activities, and for general corporate purposes, provided that for proceeds raised from the offering of the FT Units will be used to incur Canadian exploration expenses that are "flow-through mining expenditures" (as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada)) on the Company's properties in Ontario.

In consideration for the services provided by the Agent in connection with the Offering, the Company has agreed to: (i) pay to the Agent a cash fee equal to 7.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering, other than in respect of Units sold to purchasers designated by the Company, for which a cash fee shall be 3.5%, and (ii) issue to the Agent compensation warrants (the "Compensation Warrants") equal to 7.0% of the aggregate number of Units, other than in respect of Units sold to purchasers designated by the Company, for which Compensation Warrants shall equal 3.5%.
