The Company has granted the Underwriter an option (the "Over-Allotment Option") to increase the size of the Offering by up to an additional number of Units, and/or the components thereof, that in aggregate would be equal to 15% of the total number of Units to be issued under the Offering, exercisable at any time and from time to time up to 30 days following the closing of the Offering.

The net proceeds from the Offering will be used for advancing the Santa Ana project and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

The closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about March 1, 2021 (the "Closing"), or such later or earlier date as the Lead Underwriter and the Company may agree upon, and is subject to the Company receiving all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange to list the Common Shares (including the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and compensation options) thereon.

The Units will be offered by way of a short form prospectus to be filed in all provinces of Canada (except Quebec) pursuant to National Instrument 44-101 – Short Form Prospectus Distributions and may be offered in the United States on a private placement basis pursuant to an appropriate exemption from the registration requirements under applicable U.S. law.
