Each Unit will consist of one share of common stock in the capital of the Company (a "Share", and as a constituent of the Unit, a "Unit Share") and one-half of one Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"), with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to acquire one Share at an exercise price of C$0.27 for a period of 24 months following the closing date of the Offering.
The Offering will be conducted by Cormark Securities Inc. and its U.S. affiliate (the "Underwriters"). The Company has granted to the Underwriters an option (the "Over-Allotment Option"), exercisable in whole or in part, in the sole discretion of the Underwriters, for a period of 30 days from and including the closing date of the Offering, to purchase additional Units, additional Shares and/or additional Warrants, in an aggregate amount not to exceed 15% of the Units, Shares or Warrants sold pursuant to the Offering, on the same terms and at the same price as the Units, Shares and Warrants sold under the Offering, to cover over-allotments, if any, and for market stabilization purposes.
The Offering will be conducted (A) in Canada pursuant to a prospectus supplement (the "Prospectus Supplement") to the Company's short form base shelf prospectus dated October 24, 2018 filed in all of the provinces and territories of Canada, except for Québec (the "Canadian Jurisdictions"), and (B) to the public under an offering statement on Form 1-A, which includes an offering circular (the "Offering Statement"), pursuant to Regulation A under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
An amended and restated preliminary Prospectus Supplement (the "Prospectus Supplement") and an amendment to the preliminary Offering Statement (the "Offering Statement") containing important information relating to the Offering have been filed with the securities commissions in the Canadian Jurisdictions and in the United States with the SEC, respectively.

The nature and extent of the drilling at the Green Springs and Pony Creek projects will be scaled based on the amount of proceeds ultimately received by the Company from the Offering.

There can be no assurance as to whether the Offering will be completed.
