Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company (a 'Common Share') and one (1) Common Share purchase warrant (a 'Warrant'). Each Warrant entitles its holder to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.16 for a period of 24 months following the closing of the Offering.

In connection with the closing of the Fourth Tranche, no finders' fees were paid and no compensation warrants ('Finder Warrant') were issued.

Securities issued pursuant to the Fourth Tranche are subject to a four-month plus one day hold period commencing on the day of the closing of the Fourth Tranche under applicable Canadian securities laws. The Offering is subject to final acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange. To date, the Offering, comprising the first tranche closed on January 15, 2018, the second tranche closed on January 18, 2018, the third tranche closed on January 26, and the Fourth Tranche, consists of the sale of 21,179,679 Units in the aggregate for gross proceeds of $2,329,694.87. Following the completion of the Fourth Tranche, 107,411,199 Common Shares will be issued and outstanding.

In connection with the closing of the Fourth Tranche, Chancery Asset Management Pte. Ltd., a corporation controlled by Thomas Puppendahl, a director of the Company, acquired 325,454 Units, thereby making the Offering a 'related party transaction' as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ('MI 61-101'). The Company relies on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101, on the basis that the securities of the Company are not listed for trading on an enumerated market (as set out in section 5.5(b) of MI61-101) and that neither the fair market value of the shares issued to, nor the consideration paid by Chancery Asset Management Pte. Ltd. for the securities acquired pursuant to the Offering, exceeded 25% of the Company's market capitalization. No new insiders were created, nor has any change of control occurred as a result of the Offering.

This news release may contain forward looking information and the Company cautions readers that forward looking information is based on certain assumptions and risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations of the Company included in this news release. This news release includes certain "forward-looking statements', which often, but not always, can be identified by the use of words such as "believes", "anticipates", "expects", "estimates", "may", "could", "would", "will", or "plan". These statements are based on information currently available to the Company and the Company provides no assurance that actual results will meet management's expectations. Forward-looking statements include estimates and statements with respect to the Company's future plans, objectives or goals, to the effect that the Company or management expects a stated condition or result to occur. Since forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results relating to, among other things, results of exploration, metallurgical processing, project development, reclamation and capital costs of the Company's mineral properties, and the Company's financial condition and prospects, could differ materially from those currently anticipated in such statements for many reasons such as, but are not limited to: failure to identify mineral resources; failure to convert estimated mineral resources to reserves; the preliminary nature of metallurgical test results; delays in obtaining or failures to obtain required governmental, environmental or other project approvals; political risks; uncertainties relating to the availability and costs of financing needed in the future; changes in equity markets, inflation, changes in exchange rates; fluctuations in commodity prices; delays in the development of projects; capital and operating costs varying significantly from estimates and the other risks involved in the mineral exploration and development industry; and those risks set out in the Company's public documents filed on SEDAR. This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect any of the Company's forward-looking statements. These and other factors should be considered carefully and readers should not place undue reliance on the Company's forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes that the assumptions and factors used in preparing the forward-looking information in this news release are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on such information, which only applies as of the date of this news release, and no assurance can be given that such events will occur in the disclosed time frames or at all. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, other than as required by law.
