The Debentures mature 24 months from the date of issuance (the “Maturity Date“).

Following such delivery, if applicable, the Debentures will bear interest at a rate of 6.5% per annum. The principal amount of the Debentures is convertible into common shares of the Company at the election of the holder at any time prior to the close of business on the last business day immediately preceding the Maturity Date at a conversion price of C$1.25 per common share, subject to adjustment in certain events. The interest on the Debentures is convertible, at the election of the holder and subject to the approval of the TSXV, into either cash or common shares of the Company based on the closing price on the day prior to the issuance of a press release relating to the applicable interest payment date and will be paid in full, including in the event of early conversion.
The net proceeds of the Offering are expected to be used by the Company for mobilization and exploration activities across its portfolio. In connection with the Offering, Medalist Capital will receive a finder’s fee consisting of 600,000 common shares of the Company, and 450,000 common share purchase warrants of the Corporation (the “Finder’s Warrants“).
