“This financing demonstrates strong interest in great copper and gold projects,” commented Craig Parry, Executive Chairman. “Of the critical metals, we think copper is the most important of all – and with a large copper and gold resource base already defined, our shareholders are set to benefit from anticipated increases in metal prices in the years to come. The financing was strongly supported by Inventa Capital and existing shareholders. We are now in great shape to commence our planned 8000m high-impact summer drill campaign at Woodjam where we will be drilling near historic wide, high-grade copper and gold intercepts. We will also begin to test some of the many discrete magnetic anomalies we have identified in an area where the potential for discovery of porphyry mineralization has been demonstrated. Investors can expect strong news flow through the second half of the year as we drill on the this highly-prospective property.”

In connection with the Offering, the Company issued 9,100,000 units at a price of $0.22 per Unit for gross proceeds of $2,002,000, and 16,668,333 flow-through shares at a price of $0.24 per FT Share for gross proceeds of approximately $4,000,400.

Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole Warrant shall be exercisable into one additional Share for a period of 24 months following the closing of the Offering at an exercise price of $0.30 per Warrant Share.

All Qualifying Expenditures will be renounced in favour of the subscribers of the FT Shares effective December 31, 2023.
