Each Unit consists of one common share in the capital of the Company and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.30 until the date that is the earlier of: (i) August 10, 2023, or (ii) 30 days after the date on which the Company gives notice of acceleration, which notice may be provided no earlier than four months and twenty-one days from the date of issue if the closing price of the Common Shares on a stock exchange in Canada is higher than $0.60 per Common Share for more than 20 consecutive trading days.

In connection with the closing of the Offering, the Company paid an aggregate of $7,540 in cash to various finders.

The net proceeds from the Offering will be used to fund the Company’s continued exploration and development on its Neita Concession in the Dominican Republic, and for general working capital purposes. All securities issued under the Offering are subject to a four-month hold period, which will expire December 11, 2021. The Offering is subject to final acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.
