KWG paid a finder's fee of 5% of the aggregate of Debentures sourced by finders payable in Units at deemed price of $3.00 per Unit.

The proceeds received by KWG  from the sale of the Debentures will be used for the costs and fees associated with the private placement, for general corporate overhead expenses including paying current debts and liabilities and for payment of exploration and other operating expenses.

All the securities to be issued pursuant to this tranche of the Private Placement are subject to a four month hold period.

KWG is the owner of 100% of the Black Horse chromite project (formerly part of Fancamp's "Koper Lake-McFaulds" properties) in which Bold Ventures Inc. is carried through exploration of the former Fancamp claims for 10% of the chromite project and 40% of the other minerals. 

KWG also holds other area interests including a 100% interest in the Hornby claims, a 15% personal stake in the McFaulds copper/zinc project and a vested 30% interest in the Big Daddy chromite project. 

KWG also owns 100% of Canada Chrome Corporation which staked mining claims between Aroland, Ontario (near Nakina) and the Ring of Fire. CCC has conducted a surveying and soil testing program to assess the prospects for the engineering and construction of a railroad along that route between the Ring of Fire and Aroland, Ontario covering the claims staked by CCC. CCC engaged Cormorant Utilities and Rail-Veyor Technologies for engineering proposals for the construction of a transportation and utility corridor within the route and has received those proposals. KWG has also acquired intellectual property interests, including a method for the direct reduction of chromite to metalized iron and chrome using natural gas. KWG subsidiary Muketi Metallurgical LP has acquired two chromite-refining patents in Canada and one in each of the USA, South Africa and Kazakhstan, and is prosecuting an application in Turkey.
