Private Placement

The proceeds of the private placement will be used to make the claims acquisition.

In connection with this private placement, Hodgins will pay cash finder's fees equal to 8% of the funds raised to eligible finders who introduce subscribers to the private placement and issue one common share and one finder's fee warrant for every 10 units issued to eligible subscribers.  Each finder's fee warrant will be issued to finders on the same terms as the warrants comprising the units.
