Each Agent Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share at a price of $0.10 per Common Share for a period of 60 months from the date the Common Shares are listed on the TSXV.

 

At the closing of the Offering, the Company also granted stock options (the "Options") to directors and officers of the Company to acquire up to an aggregate of 429,200 Common Shares exercisable at a price of $0.10 per Common Share until October 6, 2031.
