Closing of the Unit Offering is subject to customary conditions, including receipt of all regulatory approvals, and is anticipated to occur on or before December 6, 2016. All Units issued as part of the Unit Offering will be subject to a four month and one day hold period. 

The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Unit Offering for general corporate and administrative purposes.

In addition, the Company intends to issue an option (the "Finder's Option") entitling each Finder to purchase up to such number of Common Shares as is equal to 10% of the Units issued under the Unit Offering from purchasers of Units introduced to the Company by each Finder at a price of $0.05 per Common Share. Finder's Options will expire 48 months from the date of issuance.
