The Company has also entered into an agency agreement with Byron Capital Markets Ltd. ("Byron"), as Canadian agent, and Knight Capital Americas LLC, as United States agent, (collectively, the "Agents") in respect of the Offering. Under the terms of the agency agreement, the Agents will offer, on a best efforts basis, Units for gross proceeds of up to a maximum of $5,000,000. Each Unit is comprised of one common share in the capital of the Company (a "Common Share") and one Common Share purchase warrant, at a price of $0.25 per Unit.

Byron has been granted an option, exercisable at any time until 30 days following the closing of the Offering, to sell additional Units or Warrants equal to 15% of the number of Units sold pursuant to the Offering at the issue price of the Units, to cover over-allotments, if any and for market stabilization purposes (the "Over-Allotment Option").
In consideration for the services to be rendered by the Agents under the Offering, the Agents will receive a cash commission of 6% of the gross proceeds of the Offering (including any Units issued as a result of the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option). The Agents will also receive broker warrants (the "Broker Warrants") to purchase an aggregate number of Common Shares equal to 6% of the number of Units issued under the Offering (including Units issued upon exercise of the Over-Allotment Option). Each Broker Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.25 for a period of 36 months following the completion of the Offering.
The Company plans to use the net proceeds of the Offering to progress the development of the Bokan Mountain / Dotson Ridge property and for general working capital purposes. Closing of the Offering is subject to certain conditions, including final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
