The Warrants comprised in the NFT Units do not qualify as flow-through shares for the purposes of the ITA.

The gross proceeds of the Offering from: (i) the HD Units will be used for general corporate purposes and working capital; (ii) the FT Shares comprised in the NFT Units will be used to fund exploration programs qualifying as “Canadian Exploration Expenses” and “flow-through mining expenditures” (as those terms are defined in the ITA) at the Company’s mining projects in Ontario; and (iii) the Warrants comprised in both the HD Units and the NFT Units will be used for general corporate purposes and working capital.

The closing of the Offering is still anticipated to occur on or before August 19, 2022 (the “Closing Date”). The Offering remains subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”).
