The Company has granted the Underwriter an option (the "Underwriter's Option") to purchase (or arrange for substituted purchasers to purchase) up to an additional 1,305,000 Units at the Issue Price on the same terms and conditions as the Offering. The Underwriter's Option will be exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time up until 48 hours prior to the closing of the Offering.
Each Unit will consist of one common share (a "Common Share") and one Common Share purchase warrant ("Warrant") of the Company. Each Warrant will be exercisable to acquire one Common Share for a period of 36 months following the closing date of the Offering at an exercise price of C$1.40 per common share.
The net proceeds of the Offering shall be used to advance the Company's gold projects in Sonora, as well as for general working capital.
Subject to compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and in accordance with National Instrument 45-106 - Prospectus Exemptions ("NI 45-106"), the Units will be offered for sale to purchasers resident in each of the provinces of Canada, except Quebec, pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption under Part 5A of NI 45-106, as amended by Coordinated Blanket Order 45-935 – Exemptions from Certain Conditions of the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption (the "Listed Issuer Financing Exemption"). As the Offering is being completed pursuant to the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption, the Units issued pursuant to the Offering will not be subject to a statutory hold period pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws. The Units may also be offered in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons, by way of private placement pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), and in jurisdictions outside of Canada and the United States on a private placement or equivalent basis, in each case in accordance with all applicable laws, provided that no prospectus, registration statement or other similar document is required to be filed in such jurisdiction.

A cash commission equal to 7.0% on the gross proceeds of the Offering and compensation warrants (the "Compensation Warrants") equal to 7.0% of the number of Units of the Company sold under the Offering shall be paid to the Underwriter, subject to the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange and applicable securities laws.
