The Transaction is subject to TSX Venture Exchange acceptance and is expected to close by December 31, 2020.
In connection with the Transaction, the Company has advanced to PMM the aggregate amount of $1,027,500 by way of loans since June 3, 2020 for the purpose of property acquisition and exploration costs and for general working capital. In accordance with a loan agreement between the parties dated November 17, 2020, the loans are interest free and must be repaid upon demand in the event that the Transaction is not concluded prior to June 1, 2021.
