The Partnership issued 212,389 Partnership Units at $10.00 per Partnership Unit for gross proceeds of $2,123,890. In combination with the first closing, which occurred on May 9, 2017, the Partnership has issued an aggregate of 898,136 Partnership Units at $10.00 per Partnership Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $8,981,360.  The offering was made through a syndicate of investment dealers led by BMO Capital Markets and including CIBC Capital Markets, National Bank Financial Inc., RBC Capital Markets, Scotiabank, TD Securities Inc., GMP Securities L.P., Raymond James Ltd., Canaccord Genuity Corp., Desjardins Securities Inc., Industrial Alliance Securities Inc., Laurentian Bank Securities Inc. and Manulife Securities Incorporated.

The Partnership will focus on Canadian Development Expense (CDE) expenditures over Canadian Exploration Expense (CEE) expenditures. This shifts the nature of the underlying activities from higher risk exploration activities to lower risk development drilling that focuses on already identified oil & gas pools or mineral deposits.
