Each Unit will be offered at a price of $0.11 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $250,000 (the "Offering"). Each Unit will be comprised of one common share ("Share") and one share purchase warrant of the Company ("Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one Share (a "Warrant Share") for a period of 24 months from the closing date at an exercise price of $0.14 per Warrant Share. Euro Pacific Canada Inc. ("EuroPac") will be acting as the agent for the brokered portion of the Offering.
Additionally, one of the investors in the Offering has entered into an agreement with the Company, pursuant to which the Company will grant the investor 11 subscription rights (the "Subscription Rights"). Each Subscription Right entitles the investor to purchase $250,000 worth of additional units, for an aggregate total of $2,750,000 in additional units (each a "Subscription Rights Unit"). However, the Company reserves the right to limit any exercise of a Subscription Right to $125,000 worth of additional units. Additionally, no securities may be issued on exercise of the Subscription Rights if, upon such issuance, the investor will hold more than 9.9% of the then-issued and outstanding Shares.
The Subscription Rights will expire at a rate of one Subscription Right on the last day of each month, commencing 60 days from closing.
Each Subscription Rights Unit will be comprised of a Share and a share purchase warrant with an exercise price equal to a 25% premium to the volume-weighted average trading price of the Shares on the TSXV over a 20 calendar day period ending immediately prior to the issuance of such warrant, subject to the minimum exercise price allowable under TSXV policies.
The Subscription Rights will have an exercise price that is equal to the greater of:
(a) a 20% discount to the volume weighted average price per Share on the TSXV for the 30 consecutive calendar days ending on the last calendar day immediately prior to the date of the exercise notice;
(b) a 25% discount to the price per Share on the TSXV at the close of the trading day immediately prior to the date of the exercise notice; and
(c) the minimum price allowable pursuant to the policies of the TSXV.
The issuance of Subscription Rights Units upon each exercise of a Subscription Right will be subject to the Company receiving all necessary prior approvals from the TSXV. The Company will announce each exercise of the Subscription Rights by way of a subsequent news release.
Subject to TSXV approval, the Company will pay a brokerage fee to EuroPac and a finder's fee to any other finders of the Company consisting of (i) a cash fee in an amount of up to 8% of the proceeds raised by EuroPac and the finder as part of this Offering, and (ii) a number of agent's warrants, entitling the holder thereof to purchase that number of Shares that is equal to up to 8% of the number of Units placed through EuroPac and the finder as part of this Offering.
