Units are being offered at $0.05 per unit (each, a "Unit") and each Unit will be comprised of: (i) one common share in the capital of the Corporation ("Common Share"); and (ii) one non-transferable Common Share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share for a period of twenty-four (24) months from the closing date at an exercise price of $0.10 per Common Share with an accelerated expiry date, subject to notice from the Corporation, of thirty (30) days from the date such notice is provided, if the Common Shares trade and if the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSXV for any fifteen (15) consecutive trading days is equal or above $0.15 per Common Share.
Wolverton will receive a commission equal to 8.0% of the gross proceeds received by the Corporation from sales pursuant to the SFOD Offering. Wolverton will also receive an option to acquire up to that number of units ("Agent's Units") that is equal to 8.0% of the aggregate number of Units sold pursuant to the SFOD Offering, at price of $0.05 per Agent's Unit for a period of 36 months from the date of issue. Each Agent's Unit will consist of one (1) Common Share and one (1) Warrant.
The net proceeds to be received by the Corporation from the SFOD Offering will be used by the Corporation primarily for the purposes of completing drilling programs, completing a 3D seismic program and general working capital purposes.
The filing of the Short Form Offering Document with the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") will occur immediately after the issuance of this press release. Once the TSXV has issued an Exchange Bulletin indicating acceptance of the SFOD, the SFOD Offering must be closed within thirty (30) days.
