Each Unit will be comprised of one common share of the Company (each, a "Unit Share") and one half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant").

The Warrants will be subject to an acceleration clause, whereby if the 10-day volume weighted average trading price of the common shares of the Company is equal to or exceeds $0.40, the warrant expiry date shall accelerate to a date that is 30 calendar days after the issuance of a notice by the Company to the holders of the Warrants announcing the acceleration of the Warrants. Certain parties, including Red Cloud Securities Inc., will be acting as finders in connection with the Offering.

The net proceeds from the Offering will be used for exploration of the Company's Wolf Gold Project and its regional land package and for general working capital purposes. The closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about May 28, 2021 and is subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
