Each Warrant shall entitle the holder to acquire one additional common share in the capital of the Company at a price of $0.20 per share for a period of three years from the date of issuance.
A total of $21,513 cash was paid, and 239,033 finder's warrants (the "Finder's Warrants") were issued, to eligible arm's length finders in connection with the closing of the first tranche. The Finder's Warrants were issued on the same terms as the Warrants.
The net proceeds raised from the Offering will be used for general corporate purposes and to advance the Company's properties.
In accordance with applicable securities laws, all securities issued under the Offering will be subject to a four month and one day hold period from the date of issuance. Closing of the Offering is subject to certain conditions customary for transactions of this nature, including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals, including the approval of the CSE. Closing of the final tranche of the Offering is anticipated to take place on or before July 26, 2024.
The Offering included participation by the Chairman of the Company in the amount of 50,000 Units for a total purchase price of $4,500. This participation by a director of the Company constitutes a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). However, the Placement will be exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of any Units issued to or the consideration paid by such related parties will exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.
