Each Unit is comprised of one common share and one share purchase warrant ("Warrant"), with each Warrant entitling the holder to purchase one additional common share at a price of $0.10 per share for a period of twenty-four (24) months from closing. Proceeds of the Unit offering will be used for exploration and development of the Issuer's exploration properties located in British Columbia, Canada and working capital and general corporate purposes.

The private placement was exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as the Company is not listed on a specified market (as set out in Section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101) and neither the fair market value of the Units issued to, nor the consideration paid by, the insider exceeded $2,500,000 (as set out in Section 5.7(1)(b) of MI 61-101). A material change report in respect of the private placement will be filed within 21 days of closing of the private placement as the closing date and the participation by the related party were not settled until shortly prior to closing and the Company wished to complete the private placement in an expeditious manner for sound business reasons.
