Each Unit consists of one Common Share and one transferable Common Share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional Common Share at an exercise price of $0.12 for a period of two (2) years from the date of issuance. Following the completion of the Private Placement, the Company has 17,163,709 post-consolidated Common Shares issued and outstanding.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Private Placement for general corporate and working capital purposes. All securities issued under the Private Placement are subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance, in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws. The Private Placement remains subject to final acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”).
The Consolidation was approved by the TSXV and the Company’s Common Shares commenced trading on a post-Consolidation basis at the opening of markets on January 23, 2026.
