Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase a further common share at a price of $0.20 per share until May 10, 2027. The warrants are subject to accelerated exercise provisions such that if the closing price of the Company’s common shares exceeds $0.20 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.
Finder’s fees of $4,746.00 and 79,100 finder’s warrants, issuable on the same terms as the unit warrants, were paid in connection with the initial tranche of the Placement.
All securities issued in the first tranche are subject to a hold period in Canada expiring on September 11, 2024. Additional restrictions may apply pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to U.S. investors.

Insiders participated in the Placement acquiring an aggregate of 1,673,000 units on the same basis as other subscribers.
