The Corporation intends to pay certain finders (each a "Finder") cash fees of up to 7% of the gross proceeds raised by such Finder pursuant to the Offering, and intends to issue finder warrants equal to 7% of the number of Units and/or FT Shares attributable to such Finder pursuant to the Offering (the "Finder's Warrants"). Each Finder's Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one Common Share on a non flow-through basis at an exercise price of $0.10 for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance.
All securities issued pursuant to the Offering and the Finder's Warrants will be subject to a four month hold period in accordance with applicable securities laws and exchange regulations.
Insiders will be participating at greater than 25% of the placement.
The Corporation intends to apply proceeds realized from the Offering to fund further exploration on the Corporation's Jojay, Fork Lake, Transom Lake and Tamar Lake gold properties in northern Saskatchewan located in the La Ronge Gold Belt. The funds will also be used to fund exploration of the Munro Lake gold property also located in northern Saskatchewan, which is on trend with Claude Resources Inc.'s Santoy zones, as well as for general corporate purposes.
Both transactions are subject to regulatory approval by the TSX Venture Exchange and compliance with applicable securities laws.
Wescan is a Canadian-based corporation engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. Shares of Wescan trade on the TSX Venture Exchange under the trading symbol "WGF".
