Units were issued at $0.26 per Unit, with each Unit comprised of a non-flow through share and one-half of a non-flow through warrant.

The Company also issued 53,846 finders warrants, which have the same terms and conditions as the warrants issued in the Offering. All warrants issued as part of the finders fee are non-transferable.

Combined with the first, second and third tranches, the over subscribed Offering has resulted in gross proceeds of $3,000,190 from the issuance of 8,599,966 FT Units and 1,616,154 Units. FT Units were issued at $0.30 per FT Unit and are comprised of one flow through share and one-half of a warrant; each whole warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share of the Company at a price of $0.39 for a term of two years from closing. Proceeds from the Final Tranche will be used to fund general operations of the Company.

Combined with the first, second and third tranches, the Company was charged a total of $177,100 in finders fees and issued a total of 647,766 finders warrants, which have the same terms and conditions as the warrants issued in the Offering.

Cantex is focused on its 100-per-cent-owned, 20,000-hectare North Rackla project located 150 kilometres northeast of the town of Mayo in Yukon, Canada, where significant massive sulphide mineralization has been discovered. Over 60,000 metres of drilling has defined high-grade silver-lead-zinc-germanium mineralization over 2.3 kilometres of strike length and more than 700 metres depth. The mineralization remains open along strike and to depth. The company is led by Dr. Fipke CM, the founder of Ekati, Canada's first diamond mine.
