The Warrants attached to the Units are exercisable into one Share of the Company for a period of 12 months from the date of issue at an exercise price of $0.14 per Share. The Warrants are subject to an acceleration clause whereby if the volume weighted average closing price of the Shares on the Exchange is $0.20 or more for 21 consecutive trading days at any time subsequent to the expiry of six months from the date of issuance of the Warrants, then the Company will earn the right by providing notice (the "Acceleration Notice") to the warrant holders, to accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants to that date which is 30 days from the date of the Acceleration Notice.

All securities issued will be subject to a four month hold period pursuant to securities laws in Canada. Net proceeds from the Private Placement will be used for an expanded drill program on the Ore Hill Property and for general working capital.
Arthur G. Troup, President, CEO and a director of the Company, subscribed for 500,000 Units. As a result, the Private Placement is a related party transaction (as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101")). The Company relied upon section 5.5(b) Issuer Not Listed on Specified Markets and 5.7(a) fair market value not more than $2,500,000 (calculated in accordance with MI 61-101).
