The Special Warrants will be deemed to be exercised without payment of additional consideration or further action, on the earlier of: (i) the third business day following the day upon which the Company obtains a receipt for a final prospectus (the “Final Prospectus”) qualifying the underlying Common Shares, Warrants, Warrant Shares (collectively the “Underlying Securities”) from the securities regulatory authority in each of the provinces of British Columbia, Ontario, Alberta and further provided that the Company has filed (and has in effect) a resale registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) in the United States with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the Underlying Securities; and (ii) November 4, 2015.

The Offering was led by Secutor Capital Management Corporation.
 

The net proceeds of the Offering are anticipated to be used to further develop the Molo Graphite Project and for general working capital purposes.
