Under the First Tranche, the Company issued (a) 2,200,000 flow-through units at $0.16 per unit (the "FT Units"), each FT Unit consisting of one flow-through common share (the "FT Shares") and one-half of a warrant, each whole warrant exercisable at $0.20 per share for 24 months (the "FT Warrants") and (b) 1,078,902 non-flow through units at $0.14 per unit (the "Non-FT Units"), each Non-FT Unit consisting of one non-flow-through common shares (the "Non-FT Shares") and one-half of a warrant, each whole warrant exercisable at $0.20 per shares for 24 months (the "Non-FT Warrants").

The proceeds from the Offering from the FT Units, being $352,000, will be used for exploration and development of the Company's mineral property interests in the Mine Centre region, and the proceed from the Non-FT Units, being $151,046.28, will be used for general working capital purposes. The gross proceeds from the issuance of all FT Units will be used to incur Canadian Exploration Expenses ("CEE"), and will qualify as "flow-through mining expenditures" under the Income Tax Act (Canada), which will be renounced to the purchasers of FT Units with an effective date no later than December 31, 2024 in an aggregate amount no less than the proceeds raised from the issue of the FT Units.
