The Underwriters also have an option to purchase up to an additional 3,243,750 Common Shares and 279,855 Flow-Through Shares at the Common Share Offering Price and Flow-Through Share Offering Price, as the case may be, for market stabilization purposes and to cover over-allotments for a period expiring 30 days after the date of closing.

The proceeds from the sale of the Common Shares will be used for exploration, pre-development and development activities and for general working capital purposes and/or repayment of its loan facility. The proceeds of the sale of Flow-Through Shares will be used on exploration expenses on the Red Lake Regional Exploration Claims as permitted under the Tax Act to qualify as CEE.
