The Warrants are subject to acceleration such that, commencing on June 21, 2013, if the closing price of the Company's common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange, or any other exchange on which the Company's shares are then listed, is at a price equal to or greater than $0.80 for a period of twenty (20) consecutive trading days, the Company will have the right to accelerate the expiry date of all Warrants by giving written notice to the holders of the Warrants that the Warrants will expire on the date that is not less than thirty (30) days from the date of the notice to the Warrant holders.
The Company paid cash finders' fees totalling $74,480 and issued 212,800 non-transferable finders' units, each comprised of one common share and one non-transferable share purchase warrant having the same terms as the subscribers' Warrants.
The Company intends to expend the proceeds raised from the private placement on exploration of the Covas, Borralha and Bejanca tungsten projects in northern Portugal and for general working capital purposes.
