The Company paid cash finders' fees to certain finders (the "Finders") equal to 7% of the gross proceeds raised by each Finder, and issued finder warrants (each, a "Finder Warrant") equal to 7% of the aggregate number of Units sold to purchasers introduced to the Company by each Finder. Each Finder Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one finder unit (the "Finder Units") at a price of $0.16 for a period of 36 months from the Closing Date. Each Finder Unit will consist of one Common Share and one half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Finder Unit Warrant").
