The FT private placement will now consist of the sale of up to 7,500,000 FT Units at $0.20 each, for gross proceeds of up to $1,500,000. Each FT Unit will be comprised of one common share, issued on a flow-through basis (“FT Share”) and one-half Common Share purchase warrant, issued on a non-flowthrough basis (“Warrant”). Each full Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one common share in the capital of the company (each, a “Common Share”) at a price of $0.23 per Common Share for a period of 24 months from date of issuance. The FT Shares are intended to qualify as “flow-through shares” within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada), and will be targeting critical minerals for eligibility under the Critical Mineral Exploration Tax Credit (the “CMETC”) program.

In consideration for their services in introducing subscribers to the Company under the FT Private Placement, finders may receive commission of 8% cash and 8% common share purchase warrants, exercisable to purchase one common share at a price of $0.23 for a period of 24 months.
No Related Parties intend to participate in and no new control persons will be created by the FT private placement.
The Company will use the net proceeds of the FT private placement to carry out recommended exploration programs and up to 4,000 metres of drilling on its four properties in New Brunswick, Canada. This work will be eligible as “Canadian Exploration Expenses” that qualify as “flow-through mining expenditures” as both terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada).
