The expiry date of the Warrants will be subject to acceleration following the closing of the Offering, at the discretion of the Company and as previously announced, if the Shares trade at or above CA$0.50 on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) for a period of 10 consecutive trading days after the expiry of the four-month hold period, the Company may issue a news release accelerating the expiry date to 60 days after the filing of such news release.

All securities issued under this Offering are subject to a four month and a day hold period expiring on November 27, 2024. No finder’s fees were paid in connection with this Offering.
