Each FT Unit consists of one Common Share issued on a "flow-through" basis pursuant to the provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (a "Flow-Through Share") and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole Common Share purchase warrant, a "FT Warrant"). Each whole Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share for a period of two years from the closing date of the Offering (the "Closing Date") at an exercise price of $0.45 per Common Share. Each whole FT Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share for a period of two years from the Closing Date at an exercise price of $0.50 per Common Share.
Certain insiders of Titan purchased an aggregate of 1,383,333 Units and 1,900,000 FT Units pursuant to the Offering.
In connection with the Offering, Titan has paid to certain finders a cash fee of up to 8% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised pursuant to the efforts of such finders (the "Cash Fee"), and has issued to certain finders that number of non-transferable warrants equal to 8% of the Units and FT Units sold pursuant to the efforts of such finders (the "Finder's Warrants"). Each Finder's Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire, for a period of two years from the Closing Date, finder's units of Titan (a "Finder's Unit") at a price of $0.30 per Finder's Unit, each Finder's Unit consisting of one Common Share and one non-transferrable Common Share purchase warrant (a "Unit Warrant").

"Development and expansion of the Sheep Mountain Project in Wyoming positions this past-producer as one of a very few near-term production sites in the uranium sector. In addition, we plan to drill exploration properties in the Athabasca Basin of Saskatchewan as we advance these properties toward discovery."
