Finder's fees total $20,650 and 413,000 finder's warrants all from the first tranche. Finder's Warrants are exercisable to purchase one common share of the Company at a price of $0.09 for a period of 36 months from the dates of closing. The private placement is subject to TSX Venture Exchange final approval and all securities are subject to a four month hold period.
In the first tranche a director and an officer of the Company purchased a total of 1,200,000 Units of the private placement. The placement to those persons constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of TSX Venture Exchange Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61?101 ? Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61?101") adopted in the Policy. The Company has relied on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61?101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61?101 in respect of related party participation in the placement as neither the fair market value (as determined under MI 61-101) of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction, insofar as it involved the related parties, exceeded 25% of the Company's market capitalization (as determined under MI 61-101).
The proceeds will be used for the exploration program at the Engineer Gold Mine Property, 32 km west of Atlin in northern BC, and general working capital.
