Proceeds of the Offering will be used to fund the Company’s planned exploration and drilling programs on its Worldstock, Weedon and recently acquired Jean Marie Copper-Gold Porphyry projects, in addition to general working capital. The securities issued pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a four month hold period under applicable securities laws. In connection with the Offering, certain finders may receive a cash fee and/or non-transferable finder Warrants.

The 2020 exploration programs on the Company’s Worldstock, Weedon and Jean Marie projects will consist of reverse circulation drilling and potentially diamond drilling, with the bulk of the work planned for the Jean Marie project.
