Any Warrants remaining unexercised after the Early Expiry Date will be cancelled.

As of market close on June 21, 2021, a total of 22,075,000 Warrants of the 22,325,000 Warrants originally issued had yet to be exercised. Each Warrant is exercisable into one Common Share at a price of $0.20 per Common Share. Accordingly, if all the outstanding Warrants are exercised, gross proceeds to the Company will total $4,415,000.
