The Acquired Shares will be issued from treasury, and following the acquisition are expected to represent up to approximately 9.28% of the Issuer's currently outstanding common shares ("Issuer Shares").

The Acquired Shares will be issued by the Issuer in satisfaction of a $7,326,433 payment owing to Sprott LP under the Transition Agreement, as confirmed by the Settlement Agreement. The Agreements provide that each Acquired Share is valued at the greater of $1.05 and the 20 day volume weighted average trading price of the Issuer Shares as at the Termination Date.
