Executive Summary

  • The initial conversion price is reduced to $0.08 per share for the first year post-issuance (from $0.10), while the accompanying detachable warrants are reduced from 34.2 million to 25.65 million with an amended exercise price of $0.13 per share.
  • Proceeds will fund the ongoing drilling and exploration program at the Big Sandy porphyry copper project and general working capital, pending TSX Venture Exchange and other regulatory approvals.

  • Warrant Terms: Reduced from 34.2 million to 25.65 million detachable common share purchase warrants. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share at an amended exercise price of $0.13 per share. Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years from issuance.
