A total of $8,873,076 was raised through the sale of 1,465,667 units (the "Units") at a price of $0.75 per Unit and 9,717,282 common shares (the "Flow-Through Shares") at a price of $0.80 per Flow-Through Share, issued as a "flow-through share" as defined in subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada).

The Company has paid to the Agents, or their sub-agents, an aggregate cash commission equal to 5% of the gross proceeds raised in respect of the Offering and issued to the Agents an aggregate number of non-transferrable compensation options to acquire that number of common shares that was equal to 6% of the total number of Units sold, exercisable at a price of $0.75 per share and $0.80 per share for the number of Flow-Through Shares sold for a period of two years from the applicable closing dates. All securities issued bear resale restrictions until July 22, 2011 (as to 8,574,616 common shares and 616,167 Warrants) or July 23, 2011 (as to 2,608,333 common shares and 166,666 Warrants).
