In the second and final tranche the Company raised proceeds of $3,918,000 through the sale of 19,590,000 Units.

The Warrants also contain an acceleration clause, in that if the shares trade over $0.40 for more than a 10-day period, the Company may elect upon 30 days' notice, to accelerate the expiry date.
Proceeds will be used for exploration expenses, related holding costs to maintain the respective exploration properties, and for general corporate working capital purposes.
