Management anticipates that the Company will allocate the net proceeds of the Offering as follows: $400,000 CDN for the predrilling cost at the Rico Litio Property which includes geophysics, geochem, geological mapping and an 80 kilometer survey grid; a separate exploration program at a coat of $210,000 CDN and the balance for working capital.

The Company may pay a finder's fee on the Offering. Closing of the Offering is subject to a number of conditions, including receipt of all necessary corporate and regulatory approvals.
