The Offering was led by StephenAvenue Securities Inc., as sole agent and sole bookrunner (the "Agent").

In addition, the Company completed a concurrent non-brokered private placement of 376,666 Units at a price of $0.30 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $112,999.80.

Each Unit is comprised of one common share ("Common Share") in the capital of the Company and one Common Share purchase warrant ("Warrant") of the Company. Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share at a price of $0.45 for a period of two (2) years from the closing date (the "Closing Date") of the Offering. Each FT Unit is comprised of one Common Share, issued on a flow-through basis ("FT Share") and one Warrant, issued on a non-flow-through basis, having the same terms as the Warrants partially comprising the Units. Each Charity FT Unit is comprised of one Common Share, issued on a flow-through basis ("Charity FT Share") and one Warrant, having the same terms as the Warrants partially comprising the Units and FT Units. The FT Shares and the Charity FT Shares will qualify as "flow-through shares" within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada).

The net proceeds of the Offering received from the issuance of the Units will be used by the Company for general working capital purposes. The gross proceeds from the Offering received from the issuance of the FT Units and Charity FT Units will be used by the Company to incur eligible "Canadian exploration expenses" that will qualify as "flow-through mining expenditures" (as such terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada)) (the "Qualifying Expenditures") related to the Company's projects in Canada. All Qualifying Expenditures will be renounced in favour of the subscribers of the FT Units and Charity FT Units effective December 31, 2020. It is anticipated that most of the funds derived from the sale of the FT Units and Charity FT Units will be used on the Sail Pond silver-copper-lead-zinc project on the Great Northern Peninsula of Newfoundland, in connection with a definitive option agreement dated September 23, 2020 between the Company and Altius Resources Inc. ("Altius"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Altius Minerals Corp. (the "Option Agreement").

As consideration for the services provided by the Agent in connection with the Offering, the Agent received: (i) a cash commission of $291,029.08; and (ii) an aggregate of 850,369 broker warrants ("Broker Warrants"). Each Broker Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share at a price of $0.30 until December 22, 2022.

All securities issued pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus a day from the date of issuance in accordance with applicable securities legislation. The closing of the Offering is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory and other approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

The Offering constituted a related party transaction within the meaning of TSX Venture Exchange Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101") as certain insiders of the Company subscribed for an aggregate of 366,667 Common Shares pursuant to the Offering. The Company is relying on the exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(b) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as the Company is not listed on a specified market and the fair market value of the participation in the Offering by the insiders does not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of the Company in accordance with MI 61-101. The Company did not file a material change report in respect of the related party transaction at least 21 days before the closing of the Offering, which the Company deems reasonable in the circumstances in order to complete the Offering in an expeditious manner.

In addition, under the terms of the Option Agreement, the Company intends to settle the amount of $200,000 owing to Altius through the issuance of an aggregate of 606,061 Common Shares at a deemed price of $0.33 per Common Share. The issuance of such Common Shares is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory and other approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

ASX Copper Stocks: 5 Biggest Companies in 2024

Copper saw sinking prices toward the end of 2023, but things began to shift in early 2024 as treatment charges at Chinese refiners dropped to single digit lows, causing some to cut production.

This led to increased momentum in the price of copper as refined product supply became increasingly tight for consumers of the base metal. In April, the price broke US$10,000 per tonne and set new all time highs on both the London Metals Exchange and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.

Copper has since retreated and has been trading in the US$8,800 to US$9,200 range mark in August and September. Despite recent pullbacks, prices are likely to see gains as markets supply deficits are expected over the next several years as demand from energy transition sectors continue to grow.
