Red Cloud Klondike Strike Inc. and M Partners acted as finders in connection with the Offering.  In connection with the second and final tranche of the private placement, the Company paid a cash finder's fee and issued 73,200 non-transferable finder warrants. Each finder warrant is exercisable for one common share of the Company at a price of $0.55 until June 26, 2020.

It is expected that the gross proceeds from the private placement will be primarily used for exploration activities at the Company's Goldboro Project in Nova Scotia and its other deposits in Atlantic Canada.

All the securities sold pursuant to the private placement are subject to hold periods which will expire four months and one day from the respective closing dates for the first and second tranche of the private placement, being October 23, 2018 and October 27, 2018, as applicable, in accordance with the rules and policies of the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") and applicable Canadian securities laws.
