The Private Placement is expected to close on or before November 1, 2021.

The Company intends to issue up to 5,000,000 flow-through units ("FT Units") at a price of $0.20 per FT Unit, for gross proceeds of $1,000,000. Each FT Unit will consist of one (1) flow-through common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant, each full warrant being exercisable for an additional common share of the Company at a price of $0.30 for 24 months from the date of issuance. The flow-through shares will entitle the holder to receive the tax benefits applicable to flow-through shares, in accordance with provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada).

The Company also intends to issue up to 5,555,556 non flow-through units ("Units") at a price of $0.18 per Unit for aggregate proceeds of up to $1,000,000. Each Unit will consist of one common share and one common share purchase warrant, each warrant being exercisable for an additional common share of the Company at a price of $0.30 for 24 months form the date of issuance.

In connection with the Private Placement, the Company may pay finders' fees in cash or securities or a combination of both, as permitted by the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange. All securities issued pursuant to the Private Placement will be subject to a four month and one day hold period. The Private Placement is subject to approval by the TSX Venture Exchange.

The proceeds of the financing will be used to advance Benton's Newfoundland joint-venture properties as well as various Ontario-based exploration projects, and for working capital purposes.
