5. Full Description of Material Change

In connection with the Offering, the Company paid cash commissions of $96,525 and issued 1,755,000 finder’s warrants (the “ Finder’s Warrants ”) to certain eligible third-party persons with respect to services provided in connection with the Offering. Each Finder’s Warrant entitles the holder to purchase Common Shares at a price of $0.055 per Common Share until their expiry date on August 26, 2022. All securities issued in connection with the Offering will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus one day from the date of issuance and the resale rules of applicable security legislation. This Offering is subject to final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

The Offering is considered a related party transaction within the meaning of TSX Venture Exchange Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transaction (“ MI 61-101 ”) as certain directors and officers of the Company subscribed for 1,613,657 Common Shares pursuant to the Offering. Such related party transaction is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61101 as neither the fair market value of securities being issued to the related parties nor the consideration being paid by the related parties exceeded 25% of the Company's market capitalization.

Accordingly, it was not possible to publicly disclose details of the nature and extent of related party participation in the Offering pursuant to a material change report filed at least 21 days prior to the completion of the Offering.

The proceeds of the Offering will be used for exploration at the Jasperoide project in Peru and general working capital purposes. The actual allocation of net proceeds may vary depending on future operations or unforeseen events or opportunities.
