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 665,128 Common Shares (of which 156,052 Options are exercisable at a price of $0.05 per share until June 11, 2031 and 509,076 Options are exercisable at a price of $0.10 per share until August 24, 2031).
