Our core focus will be growth, including the specific goal of eliminating the distance between the six identified zones. We will also be testing new targets, using radon sampling on other EM conductors and employing resistivity ground geophysics to help identify additional prospective corridors."

(collectively, the "Underwriters"). In connection with the Offering, the Underwriters received, (a) in respect of the first 7,670,500 Subscription Receipts distributed, a cash commission equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of such Subscription Receipts and that number of non-transferable broker warrants ("Broker Warrants") equal to 6.0% of that number of Subscription Receipts and (b) in respect of the remaining 911,200 Subscription Receipts distributed, a cash commission equal to 6.0% of 40% of the gross proceeds from the sale of such Subscription Receipts and that number of Broker Warrants equal to 6.0% of 40% of that number of Subscription Receipts. Each Broker Warrant will be exercisable into one common share of the Company for a period of 24 months from the closing of the Offering at a price of $1.50 per common share.
