Gross proceeds of $165,855.75 were raised through the sale of 3,315,707 units at a price of $0.05 per unit (each a “Unit”). Each Unit comprised one common share and one half of one share purchase warrant.

The warrants are subject to accelerated exercise provisions such that if the closing price of the Company’s common shares exceeds $0.25 per share for a period of 20 consecutive trading days, the Company may give notice of the acceleration of the warrants’ term to a period of 30 days following such notice.

No finder’s fees were payable in connection with the Placement.

All securities issued in the first tranche are subject to a hold period in Canada expiring on May 7, 2020. Additional restrictions may apply pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to U.S. investors.

Proceeds of the Placement will be applied to exploration programs for the Company’s Fiji properties and general working capital.

Insiders participated in the Placement acquiring an aggregate of 600,000 units on the same basis as other subscribers. The participation in the Placement by insiders of the Company constitutes a "related party transaction" as such term is defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company is relying on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements under MI 61-101.
