The Securities may be offered separately or together, in amounts, at prices and on terms to be determined based on market conditions at the time of the sale and set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement (a “ Prospectus Supplement ”).

In addition, the Securities may be offered and issued in consideration for the acquisition of other businesses, assets or securities by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company. The consideration for any such acquisition may consist of any of the Securities separately, a combination of Securities or any combination of, among other things, Securities, cash and the assumption of liabilities.

The Common Shares are listed for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (“ TSXV ”) under the trading symbol “DMG” as well as on the OTCQB under “DMGGF” and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbols “6AX”. On February 26, 2021, being the last complete trading day prior to the date hereof, the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSXV was $3.19.

Unless otherwise specified in an applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Debt Securities, Subscription Receipts, Units and Warrants will not be listed on any securities or stock exchange or on any automated dealer quotation system. There is currently no market through which the Securities, other than the Common Shares, may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell such Securities purchased under this Prospectus. This may affect the pricing of the Securities, other than the Common Shares, in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the Securities and the extent of issuer regulation. See “ Risk Factors ”.

Acquiring the Securities may subject prospective investors to tax consequences both in Canada and the United States. This Prospectus or any applicable Prospectus Supplement may not describe these tax consequences fully. Prospective investors should read the tax discussion in any applicable Prospectus Supplement with respect to any particular offering and consult your own tax advisor with respect to your own particular circumstances.

No underwriter has been involved in the preparation of this Prospectus or performed any review of the contents of this Prospectus.

The Company is not making and will not make an offer of these Securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. This Prospectus constitutes a public offering of the Securities only in those jurisdictions where they may be lawfully offered for sale and only by persons permitted to sell the Securities in such jurisdiction.

All applicable information permitted under securities legislation to be omitted from this Prospectus that has been so omitted will be contained in one or more Prospectus Supplements that will, except in respect of any sales pursuant to an "at-the-market" distribution as contemplated by National Instrument 44-102 – Shelf Distributions (“ NI 44-102 ”), be delivered to purchasers together with this Prospectus. Each Prospectus Supplement will be incorporated by reference into this Prospectus for the purposes of securities legislation as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement and only for the purposes of the distribution of the securities to which the Prospectus Supplement pertains.

The price at which the Securities will be offered and sold may vary from purchaser to purchaser and during the period of distribution. The Securities may be sold pursuant to this Prospectus through underwriters or dealers or directly or through agents designated from time to time at amounts and prices and other terms determined by us.

Summary Description of the Business

The following definitions apply to the description of the Company’s business in this Prospectus:

Bitcoin ” shall refer to the native token of the bitcoin network which utilizes the SHA-256 algorithm. Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer payment system and the digital currency of the same name which uses open source cryptography to control the creation and transfer of such digital currency;

Blockchain ” shall refer to an immutable decentralized public transaction ledger which records transactions, such as financial transactions in cryptocurrency, in chronological order. Bitcoin and Ethereum are examples of well-known and widely distributed blockchains;

Hashrate ” shall refer to a measure of cryptocurrency mining power in hashes per second whereby the expected income from mining is directly proportional to a miners’ hashrate normalized by the total hashrate of the network.

The Company is a vertically integrated Blockchain and cryptocurrency company that manages, operates, and develops end to end digital solutions to monetize the Blockchain ecosystem. The Company’s business is segmented into three main divisions: data centre operations, data analytics and forensics and developing enterprise Blockchains. The Company’s data centre operations focus on earning revenues from block rewards and transaction fees by mining primarily Bitcoin as well as providing hosting services for industrial mining clients. The Company’s data analytics and forensic services provide technical expertise on software products, such as Blockseer Pool, Mine Manager Software and Walletscore, as well as providing consultation services to accounting firms, law firms, and law enforcement organizations. The Company’s permissioned blockchain technology is focused on developing enterprise software for the supply chain management of controlled products. The Company’s strategy is to become the domain for experts across three main divisions: data centre operations, data analytics and forensics and developing enterprise blockchains. The Company’s management team includes seasoned cryptocurrency experts, forensic and financial professionals and Blockchain developers with deep relationships throughout the cryptocurrency industry.

The Company’s flagship data centre operation is located in Christina Lake, British Columbia, Canada (the “ Christina Lake Facility ”) where the Company mines digital currencies and provides hosting and management services to third party clients. This location offers both hosted services, commonly referred to as MaaS, which allows the Company to host third party cryptocurrency servers as well as mine its own cryptocurrencies by self-managing its equipment. The Company will continue its strategy to blend self-mining with hosted mining for third party clients. The Company will continue to acquire mining hardware, subject to cost and profitability constraints, to ensure that its mining fleet includes the most efficient hardware available at all times and to avoid the need to replace the entire fleet simultaneously in the future. The Company’s operating and maintenance expenses are comprised of electricity to power

8

its computing equipment as well as cooling and lighting and other aspects of operating computer equipment. Other site expenses include personnel salaries, internet access, equipment maintenance, software optimization, and facility security, maintenance and management.

The Company’s Data Analytics and Forensics operations are generally split into two business lines. The first business line is cryptocurrency-specific consulting where the Company generally works on legal cases and audits of companies exposed to cryptocurrency through their operations. The second business line involves software platforms and licensing agreements. The cryptocurrency-specific consulting that the Company focuses on leverages its deep understanding of cryptocurrencies and applies it mainly to legal questions, accounting standards and audit and assurance reporting requirements. Almost all cryptocurrency specific consulting projects involve the Company’s software platforms such as Blockseer’s Explorer or Walletscore. The Company’s data analytics and forensics software platforms strategy is centered on becoming a vertically integrated cryptocurrency company. The Company’s main software platforms to date are Blockseer Pool, Mine Manager Software, Blockseer Explorer, and Walletscore. All of these products are used by the Company as well as licensed to third parties for commercial usage where applicable

Mine Manager Software is the Company’s own proprietary software, developed by the Company to manage its data centre performance. The Mine Management Software provides automated management of cryptocurrency mining data centers and remote container deployments. The Mine Manager Software displays an individual miner’s Hashrate, temperature, and repair status. This provides guidance to facility staff about a mining machine’s working status, allowing the remote usage of a mining machine by a miner without additional miner intervention.

Blockseer Explorer is an analytics tool that enables the tracking of cryptocurrency on both the Bitcoin and Ethereum Blockchains. Walletscore is a software product that measures the propensity of a cryptocurrency wallet to engage in criminal activity and meets anti-money laundering compliance obligations with the Company’s risk API (application programming interface) for cryptocurrency exchanges and payment platforms.

Blockseer Pool is a North American-based cryptocurrency mining pool dedicated to decentralizing the Bitcoin hashrate and providing more transparency in the crypto mining industry. As an integral part of the Company’s strategy, Blockseer Pool will incorporate with the Company’s existing cryptocurrency products such as Walletscore and Mine Manager Software. Pursuant to the memorandum of understanding between the Company and Marathon Patent Group Inc., the Company is planning to form the Digital Currency Miners of North America (“ DCMNA ”), which will license Blockseer Pool.

Further information regarding the Company and its business is set out in the 2020 AIF which is incorporated by reference herein.

The Company holds its cryptocurrencies in cold storage solutions. The Company only transfers its cryptocurrencies to hot storage for the purpose of selling or transferring the cryptocurrencies. The Company does not manage or hold cryptocurrencies on behalf of third party clients that it hosts at the Christina Lake Facility and any cryptocurrencies mined from the hosting services are connected directly to the third party client’s cryptocurrency wallets.

Further information regarding the Company and its business is set out in the 2020 AIF which is incorporated by reference herein.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in the Company’s securities is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. In addition to the other information included or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus or any applicable Prospectus Supplement, you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in the documents incorporated by reference in this Prospectus and any applicable Prospectus Supplement, together with all of the other information contained in this Prospectus, before purchasing the Company’s securities. The occurrence of any of such risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects. In these circumstances, the market price of our securities, including the Common Shares, could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. The risks described herein are not the only risks we face; risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Investors should also refer to the other information set forth or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus or any applicable Prospectus Supplement, including our consolidated financial statements and related notes. This Prospectus also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking

9

statements as a result of a number of factors, including the risks described herein. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking and Other Statements.”

In particular, you should carefully consider the risks described under the Company’s 2020 AIF under the heading “ Risk Factors ”, and other publicly filed documents which are incorporated herein by reference, as well as the risk factors described under the heading “Risk Factors” in any applicable prospectus supplement. See “Documents Incorporated by Reference”.

Risks Related to the Offering of Securities

Market price of Common Shares

The Common Shares are listed and posted for trading on the TSXV. An investment in the Securities is highly speculative. The market prices for the securities of companies in the blockchain and cryptocurrency industry, including our own, have historically been highly volatile. The market has from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the financial performance or Prospectus of any particular company. In addition, because of the nature of the cryptocurrency industry, certain factors can have an adverse impact on the market price of the Common Shares, such as:

  • the Company’s announcements and the public’s reaction;

  • the Company’s financial condition or results of operations as reflected in our quarterly and annual financial statements;

  • the Company’s operating performance and the performance of competitors and other similar companies;

  • government regulations;

  • changes in earnings estimates or recommendations by research analysts who track the Securities or securities of other companies in the blockchain and cryptocurrency sector;

  • general market conditions;

  • announcements relating to litigation;

  • the arrival or departure of key personnel; and

  • the factors listed under the heading “ Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements ”.

Absence of a public market for some of the Securities

There is no public market for the Debt Securities, Warrants, Subscription Receipts, Securities purchase contracts or Units and, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Company does not intend to apply for listing of the Debt Securities, Warrants, Subscription Receipts, Securities purchase contracts or Units on any securities exchanges. If the Debt Securities, Warrants, Subscription Receipts, Securities purchase contracts or Units are traded after their initial issuance, they may trade at a discount from their initial offering prices depending on prevailing interest rates (as applicable), the market for similar securities and other factors, including general economic conditions and the Company’s financial condition. There can be no assurance as to the liquidity of the trading market for the Debt Securities, Warrants, Subscription Receipts, or Units, or that a trading market for these Securities will develop at all.

Future sales of issuance of debt or equity Securities

Given the Company’s plans and expectations that additional capital and personnel will be needed, the Company may need to issue additional debt or equity securities. The Company cannot predict the size of future sales and issuances of debt or equity Securities or the effect, if any, that future sales and issuances of debt or equity Securities will have on the market price of the Common Shares. Sales or issuances of a substantial number of equity Securities, or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices for the Common Shares. With any additional sale or issuance of equity Securities, investors will suffer dilution of their voting power and may experience dilution in the Company’s earnings per share.

Discretion over use of proceeds

The Company intends to allocate the net proceeds it will receive from an offering as described under “ Use of Proceeds ” in this Prospectus and the applicable Prospectus Supplement. However, the Company will have broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from an offering by the Company of the Securities. Because of the number

10

and variability of factors that will determine the Company’s use of such proceeds, the Company’s ultimate use might vary substantially from its planned use. The failure by the Company to apply these funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on the business of the Company. Investors may not agree with how the Company allocates or spends the proceeds from an offering of the Securities. The Company may pursue acquisitions, collaborations or other opportunities that do not result in an increase in the market value of the Securities, including the market value of the Common Shares, and that may increase its losses.

Liquidity

Shareholders of the Company may be unable to sell significant quantities of Common Shares into the public trading markets without a significant reduction in the price of their Common Shares, or at all. There can be no assurance that there will be sufficient liquidity of the Common Shares on the trading market, and that the Company will continue to meet the listing requirements of the TSXV or other public listing exchanges.

Unsecured Debt Securities

The Company carries on its business through corporate subsidiaries, and the majority of its assets are held in corporate subsidiaries. The results of the Company’s operations and its ability to service indebtedness, including the Debt Securities, are dependent upon the results of operations of these subsidiaries and the payment of funds by these subsidiaries to the Company in the form of loans, dividends or otherwise. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Company’s subsidiaries will not have an obligation to pay amounts due pursuant to any Debt Securities or to make any funds available for payment on Debt Securities, whether by dividends, interest, loans, advances or other payments. In addition, the payment of dividends and the making of loans, advances and other payments to the Company by its subsidiaries may be subject to statutory or contractual restrictions. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the indenture governing the Company’s Debt Securities is not expected to limit the Company’s ability or the ability of its subsidiaries to incur indebtedness. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, such indebtedness of the Company’s subsidiaries would be structurally senior to the Debt Securities. As such, in the event of the liquidation of any subsidiary, the assets of the subsidiary would be used first to repay the obligations of the subsidiary, including indebtedness and trade payables, prior to being used by the Company to pay its indebtedness, including any Debt Securities. See “ Description of Debt Securities ”.

Effect of changes in interest rates on Debt Securities

Prevailing interest rates will affect the market price or value of any Debt Securities. The market price or value of any Debt Securities may decline as prevailing interest rates for comparable debt instruments rise, and increase as prevailing interest rates for comparable debt instruments decline.

Effect of fluctuations in foreign currency markets on Debt Securities

Debt securities denominated or payable in foreign currencies may entail significant risk. These risks include, without limitation, the possibility of significant fluctuations in the foreign currency markets, the imposition or modification of foreign exchange controls and potential liquidity restrictions in the secondary market. These risks will vary depending upon the currency or currencies involved and will be more fully described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.

Trading price of Common Shares and volatility

In recent years, the securities markets in the United States and Canada, have experienced a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market prices of securities of many companies have experienced large fluctuations in price that have not necessarily been related to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. There can be no assurance that continual fluctuations in price will not occur with respect to the Common Shares. The trading price of the Common Shares may be subject to large fluctuations and may decline below the price at which an investor acquired their Common Shares. The trading price may increase or decrease in response to a number of events and factors, which may not be within the Company’s control nor be a reflection of the Company’s actual operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects. Accordingly, investors may not be able to sell their Securities at or above their acquisition cost.

History of negative cash flows

The Company has a history of negative cash flow from operating activities. To the extent that the Company has negative cash flow in future periods, the Company may need to allocate a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of Securities to fund such negative cash flow. There can be no assurance that additional capital or other types of financing will be available when need or that these financings will be on terms at least as favourable to the Company as those previously obtained, or at all.

11

USE OF PROCEEDS

The use of proceeds from the sale of Securities will be described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement relating to a specific offering and sale of Securities. Among other potential uses, the Company may use the net proceeds from the sale of Securities: (i) for operational costs relating to its business; (ii) for the acquisition of new equipment or other capital expenditures; (iii) for the acquisition of new intellectual property or other businesses and (ii) for general corporate and working capital purposes.

The management of the Company will retain broad discretion in allocating the net proceeds of any offering of Securities under this Prospectus and the Company’s actual use of the net proceeds will vary depending on the its operating and capital needs from time to time. We may also, from time to time, decide to issue Securities otherwise than pursuant to a Prospectus Supplement to this Prospectus. All expenses relating to an offering of Securities and any compensation paid to underwriters, dealers or agents, as the case may be, will be paid out of the proceeds from the sale of such Securities, unless otherwise stated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.

During the last financial year, the Company recorded losses, negative cash flow from operations and an accumulated deficit. The Company’s cash flow from operations may be affected in the future by the investment it is making to continue to develop its products and services. In addition to other uses of net proceeds to be specified in a Prospectus Supplement, to the extent that the Company has negative cash flow in future periods, the Company may need to allocate a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of Securities to fund such negative cash flow. There can be no assurance that additional capital or other types of financing will be available when need or that these financings will be on terms at least as favourable to the Company as those previously obtained, or at all.

The Company may, from time to time, issue securities (including Securities) other than pursuant to this Prospectus.

CONSOLIDATED CAPITALIZATION

There have been no material changes to the Company’s consolidated capitalization which have not been disclosed in this Prospectus or the documents incorporated by reference since the date of the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2020. The applicable Prospectus Supplement will describe any material changes, and the effect of such material changes on the share and loan capitalization of the Company that will result from the issuance of Securities pursuant to each Prospectus Supplement.

PRIOR SALES

Information in respect of the Company’s Common Shares that have been issued within the previous twelve-month period, including Common Shares that have been issued upon the exercise of stock options of the Company (“ Options ”) and Common Share purchase Warrants (“ Warrants ”) will be provided as required in a Prospectus Supplement with respect to the issuance of securities pursuant to such Prospectus Supplement.

The Company reserves the right to include in a Prospectus Supplement specific terms pertaining to the Debt Securities which are not within the options and parameters set forth in this Prospectus. In addition, to the extent that any particular terms of the Debt Securities described in a Prospectus Supplement differ from any of the terms described in this Prospectus, the description of such terms set forth in this Prospectus shall be deemed to have been superseded by the description of such differing terms set forth in such Prospectus Supplement with respect to such Debt Securities.

Unless stated otherwise in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, no holder of Debt Securities will have the right to require the Company to repurchase the Debt Securities and there will be no increase in the interest rate if the Company becomes involved in a highly leveraged transaction or has a change of control.

The Company may also sell any of the Debt Securities for a foreign currency or currency unit, and payments on the Debt Securities may be payable in a foreign currency or currency unit. In any of these cases, the Company will describe certain Canadian federal income tax consequences and other special considerations in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.

15

upon surrender of the underlying Securities gained thereby, in the event that this Prospectus (as supplemented or amended) contains a misrepresentation, provided that: (i) the conversion or exchange takes place within 180 days of the date of the purchase of the convertible or exchangeable security under this Prospectus; and (ii) the right of rescission is exercised within 180 days of the date of the purchase of the convertible or exchangeable security under this Prospectus. This contractual right of rescission will be consistent with the statutory right of rescission in Section 131 of the Securities Act (British Columbia), and is in addition to any other right or remedy available to original purchasers in Section 131 of the Securities Act (British Columbia) or otherwise at law.

Ranking and Other Indebtedness

Unless otherwise indicated in an applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Debt Securities will be direct unsecured obligations of the Company. The Debt Securities will be senior or subordinated indebtedness of the Company as described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. If the Debt Securities are senior indebtedness, they will rank equally and rateably with all other unsecured indebtedness of the Company from time to time issued and outstanding which is not subordinated. If the Debt Securities are subordinated indebtedness, they will be subordinated to senior indebtedness of the Company as described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, and they will rank equally and rateably with other subordinated indebtedness of the Company from time to time issued and outstanding as described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. The Company reserves the right to specify in a Prospectus Supplement whether a particular series of subordinated Debt Securities is subordinated to any other series of subordinated Debt Securities.

The board of directors of the Company may establish the extent and manner, if any, to which payment on or in respect of a series of Debt Securities will be senior or will be subordinated to the prior payment of the Company’s other liabilities and obligations and whether the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, will be guaranteed and the nature and priority of any Security.

Registration of Debt Securities

Debt Securities in Book Entry Form

Unless otherwise indicated in an applicable Prospectus Supplement, Debt Securities of any series may be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more global securities (“ Global Securities ”) registered in the name of a designated clearing agency (a “ Depositary ”) or its nominee and held by or on behalf of the Depositary in accordance with the terms of the applicable Trust Indenture. The specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to any portion of a series of Debt Securities to be represented by a Global Security will, to the extent not described herein, be described in the Prospectus Supplement relating to such series. The Company anticipates that the provisions described in this section will apply to all depositary arrangements.

Upon the issuance of a Global Security, the Depositary or its nominee will credit, in its book-entry and registration system, the respective principal amounts of the Debt Securities represented by the Global Security to the accounts of such participants that have accounts with the Depositary or its nominee (“ Participants ”). Such accounts are typically designated by the underwriters, dealers or agents participating in the distribution of the Debt Securities or by the Company if such Debt Securities are offered and sold directly by the Company. Ownership of beneficial interests in a Global Security will be limited to Participants or persons that may hold beneficial interests through Participants. With respect to the interests of Participants, ownership of beneficial interests in a Global Security will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through records maintained by the Depositary or its nominee. With respect to the interests of persons other than Participants, ownership of beneficial interests in a Global Security will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through records maintained by Participants or persons that hold through Participants.

So long as the Depositary for a Global Security, or its nominee, is the registered owner of such Global Security, such Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the Debt Securities represented by such Global Security for all purposes under the applicable Trust Indenture and payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Debt Securities represented by a Global Security will be made by the Company to the Depositary or its nominee. The Company expects that the Depositary or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, will credit Participants’ accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of the Global Security as shown on the records of such Depositary or its nominee. The Company also expects that payments by Participants to owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security held through such Participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices and will be the responsibility of such Participants.

16

Conveyance of notices and other communications by the Depositary to direct Participants, by direct Participants to indirect Participants and by direct and indirect Participants to beneficial owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Beneficial owners of Debt Securities may wish to take certain steps to augment transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the Debt Securities, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults and proposed amendments to the Trust Indenture.

Owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security will not be entitled to have the Debt Securities represented by such Global Security registered in their respective names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of such Debt Securities in certificated non-book-entry form, and will not be considered the owners or holders thereof under the applicable Trust Indenture, and the ability of a holder to pledge a Debt Security or otherwise take action with respect to such holder’s interest in a Debt Security (other than through a Participant) may be limited due to the lack of a physical certificate.

No Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Debt Securities registered, and no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or any nominee of such Depositary unless: (i) the Depositary is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as Depositary and the Company is unable to locate a qualified successor; (ii) the Company at its option elects, or is required by law, to terminate the book-entry system through the Depositary or the book-entry system ceases to exist; or (iii) if provided for in the Trust Indenture, after the occurrence of an event of default thereunder (provided the Trustee has not waived the event of default in accordance with the terms of the Trust Indenture), Participants acting on behalf of beneficial holders representing, in aggregate, a threshold percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities then outstanding advise the Depositary in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Depositary is no longer in their best interest.

If one of the foregoing events occurs, such Global Security shall be exchanged for certificated non-book-entry Debt Securities of the same series in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Security and registered in such names and denominations as the Depositary may direct.

The Company, any underwriters, dealers or agents and any Trustee identified in an accompanying Prospectus Supplement, as applicable, will not have any liability or responsibility for (i) records maintained by the Depositary relating to beneficial ownership interests in the Debt Securities held by the Depositary or the book-entry accounts maintained by the Depositary; (ii) maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to any such beneficial ownership interests; or (iii) any advice or representation made by or with respect to the Depositary and contained in this Prospectus or in any Prospectus Supplement or Trust Indenture with respect to the rules and regulations of the Depositary or at the direction of Participants.

Unless otherwise stated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. or its successor will act as Depositary for any Debt Securities represented by a Global Security.

Debt Securities in Certificated Form

A series of the Debt Securities may be issued in definitive form, solely as registered Securities, solely as unregistered Securities or as both registered Securities and unregistered Securities. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, unregistered Securities will have interest coupons attached.

In the event that the Debt Securities are issued in certificated non-book-entry form, and unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Debt Securities (other than a Global Security) will be made at the office or agency of the Trustee or, at the option of the Company, by the Company by way of cheque mailed or delivered to the address of the person entitled at the address appearing in the security register of the Trustee or electronic funds wire or other transmission to an account of the person entitled to receive such payments. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, payment of interest, if any, will be made to the persons in whose name the Debt Securities are registered at the close of business on the day or days specified by the Company.

At the option of the holder of Debt Securities, registered Securities of any series will be exchangeable for other registered securities of the same series, of any authorized denomination and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor. If, but only if, provided in an applicable Prospectus Supplement, unregistered Securities (with all unmatured coupons, except as provided below, and all matured coupons in default) of any series may be exchanged for registered Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor. In such an event, unregistered Securities surrendered in a permitted exchange for registered Securities between a regular record date or a special record date and the relevant date for payment of interest shall be surrendered without the

17

coupon relating to such date for payment of interest, and interest will not be payable on such date for payment of interest in respect of the registered security issued in exchange for such unregistered security, but will be payable only to the holder of such coupon when due in accordance with the terms of the Trust Indenture. Unless otherwise specified in an applicable Prospectus Supplement, unregistered Securities will not be issued in exchange for registered Securities. The applicable Prospectus Supplement may indicate the places to register a transfer of the Debt Securities in definitive form. Except for certain restrictions to be set forth in the Trust Indenture, no service charge will be payable by the holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of the Debt Securities in definitive form, but the Company may, in certain instances, require a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charges payable in connection with these transactions.

Description of Warrants

This section describes the general terms that will apply to any Warrants for the purchase of Common Shares, or equity Warrants, or for the purchase of Debt Securities, or debt Warrants. This summary of some of the provisions of the Warrants is not complete. The statements made in this Prospectus relating to any Warrant agreement and Warrants to be issued under this Prospectus are summaries of certain anticipated provisions thereof and do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, all provisions of the applicable Warrant agreement. Prospective investors should refer to the Warrant indenture or Warrant agency agreement relating to the specific Warrants being offered for the complete terms of the Warrants. A copy of any Warrant indenture or Warrant agency agreement relating to an offering of Warrants will be filed by the Company with the securities regulatory authorities in the applicable Canadian offering jurisdictions after we have entered into it, and will be available electronically on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

We may issue Warrants independently or together with other securities, and Warrants sold with other Securities may be attached to or separate from the other Securities. Warrants will be issued under one or more Warrant agency agreements to be entered into by us and one or more banks or trust companies acting as Warrant agent. Prior to the exercise of their Warrants, holders of Warrants will not have any of the rights of holders of the Securities subject to the Warrants.

The Company will deliver an undertaking to the securities regulatory authority in each of the provinces of Canada (other than Quebec), that it will not distribute Warrants that, according to their terms as described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, are “novel” specified derivatives within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation, separately to any member of the public in Canada, unless the offering is in connection with and forms part of the consideration for an acquisition or merger transaction or unless such Prospectus Supplement containing the specific terms of the Warrants to be distributed separately is first approved by or on behalf of the securities commissions or similar regulatory authorities in each of the provinces of Canada (other than Quebec) where the Warrants will be distributed.

The applicable Prospectus Supplement relating to any Warrants that we offer will describe the particular terms

of those Warrants and include specific terms relating to the offering.

Original purchasers of Warrants (if offered separately) will have a contractual right of rescission against the Company in respect of the exercise of such Warrant. The contractual right of rescission will entitle such original purchasers to receive, upon surrender of the underlying securities acquired upon exercise of the Warrant, the total of the amount paid on original purchase of the warrant and the amount paid upon exercise, in the event that this Prospectus (as supplemented or amended) contains a misrepresentation, provided that: (i) the exercise takes place within 180 days of the date of the purchase of the warrant under the applicable Prospectus Supplement; and (ii) the right of rescission is exercised within 180 days of the date of purchase of the warrant under the applicable Prospectus Supplement. This contractual right of rescission will be consistent with the statutory right of rescission in Section 131 of the Securities Act (British Columbia), and is in addition to any other right or remedy available to original purchasers in Section 131 of the Securities Act (British Columbia) or otherwise at law.

In an offering of Warrants, or other convertible securities, original purchasers are cautioned that the statutory right of action for damages for a misrepresentation contained in the Prospectus is limited, in certain provincial and territorial securities legislation, to the price at which the Warrants, or other convertible securities, are offered to the public under the Prospectus offering. This means that, under the securities legislation of certain provinces and territories, if the purchaser pays additional amounts upon conversion, exchange or exercise of such securities, those amounts may not be recoverable under the statutory right of action for damages that applies in those provinces or territories. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province or territory for the particulars of these rights, or consult with a legal advisor.

Each Escrow Agent will be a financial institution organized under the laws of Canada or a province thereof and authorized to carry on business as a trustee. If underwriters or agents are used in the sale of any Subscription Receipts, one or more of such underwriters or agents may also be a party to the Subscription Receipt Agreement governing the Subscription Receipts sold to or through such underwriter or agent.

The following is a brief summary of certain general terms and provisions of the Subscription Receipts that may be offered pursuant to this Prospectus. This summary does not purport to be complete. The particular terms and provisions of the Subscription Receipts as may be offered pursuant to this Prospectus will be set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement pertaining to such offering of Subscription Receipts, and the extent to which the general terms and provisions described below may apply to such Subscription Receipts will be described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.

21

Rights of Holders of Subscription Receipts Prior to Satisfaction of Release Conditions

The holders of Subscription Receipts will not be, and will not have the rights of, Shareholders. Holders of Subscription Receipts are entitled only to receive Common Shares, Warrants and/or Debt Securities upon exchange of their Subscription Receipts, plus any cash payments, if applicable, all as provided for under the Subscription Receipt Agreement and only once the Release Conditions have been satisfied. If the Release Conditions are not satisfied, holders of Subscription Receipts shall be entitled to a refund of all or a portion of the subscription price thereof and their pro-rata share of interest earned or income generated thereon, if provided for in the Subscription Receipt Agreement.

Escrow

The Subscription Receipt Agreement will provide that the Escrowed Funds will be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent, and such Escrowed Funds will be released to the Company (and, if the Subscription Receipts are sold to or through underwriters or agents, a portion of the Escrowed Funds may be released to such underwriters or agents in payment of all or a portion of their fees in connection with the sale of the Subscription Receipts) at the time and under the terms specified by the Subscription Receipt Agreement. If the Release Conditions are not satisfied, holders of Subscription Receipts will receive a refund of all or a portion of the subscription price for their Subscription Receipts, plus their pro-rata entitlement to interest earned or income generated on such amount, if provided for in the Subscription Receipt Agreement, in accordance with the terms of the Subscription Receipt Agreement. Common Shares, Warrants and or Debt Securities may be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent and will be released to the holders of Subscription Receipts following satisfaction of the Release Conditions at the time and under the terms specified in the Subscription Receipt Agreement.

Modifications

The Subscription Receipt Agreement will specify the terms upon which modifications and alterations to the Subscription Receipts issued thereunder may be made by way of a resolution of holders of Subscription Receipts at a meeting of such holders or a consent in writing from such holders. The number of holders of Subscription Receipts required to pass such a resolution or execute such a written consent will be specified in the Subscription Receipt Agreement.

The Subscription Receipt Agreement will also specify that we may amend any Subscription Receipt Agreement and the Subscription Receipts without the consent of the holders of the Subscription Receipts to cure any ambiguity, to cure, correct or supplement any defective or inconsistent provision or in any other manner that will not materially and adversely affect the interests of the holders of outstanding Subscription Receipts or as otherwise specified in the Subscription Receipt Agreement.

DIVIDENDS

No dividends on the Common Shares have been paid by the Company to date. The Company does not intend to declare or pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of the board of the Company, after taking into account a multitude of factors appropriate in the circumstances, including the Company’s operating results, financial condition and current and anticipated cash needs.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

New Issue

The Company may sell the Securities separately or together, to or through underwriters or dealers purchasing as principals for public offering and sale by them, and also may sell Securities to one or more other purchasers directly or through agents. Each Prospectus Supplement will set forth the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any underwriters or agents, the purchase price or prices of the Securities (or the manner of determination thereof if offered on a non-fixed price basis, including sales in transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market distributions” as defined in National Instrument 44-102), and the proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Securities.

The Securities may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices which may be changed or at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. The prices at which the Securities may be offered may vary as between purchasers and during the period of distribution. If, in connection with the offering of Securities at a fixed price or prices, the underwriters have made a reasonable effort to sell all of the Securities at the initial offering price fixed in the applicable Prospectus

22

Supplement, the public offering price may be decreased and thereafter further changed, from time to time, to an amount not greater than the initial public offering price fixed in such Prospectus Supplement, in which case the compensation realized by the underwriters will be decreased by the amount that the aggregate price paid by purchasers for the Securities is less than the gross proceeds paid by the underwriters to the Company.

The sale of Common Shares may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions at non-fixed prices pursuant to transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market distributions” as defined in National Instrument 44-102, including sales made directly on the TSXV or other existing trading markets for the Common Shares. Sales of Common Shares under an “at-the-market distribution”, if any, will be made pursuant to an accompanying Prospectus Supplement. The volume and timing of any “at-the-market distributions” will be determined at the Company’s sole discretion.

Underwriters, dealers and agents who participate in the distribution of the Securities may be entitled under agreements to be entered into with the Company to indemnification by the Company against certain liabilities, including liabilities under securities legislation, or to contribution with respect to payments which such underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make in respect thereof. Such underwriters, dealers and agents may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for, the Company in the ordinary course of business.

Unless otherwise specified in the relevant Prospectus Supplement, in connection with any offering of the Securities, other than an “at-the-market distribution”, the underwriters, dealers or agents who participate in the distribution of the Securities may over-allot or effect transactions intended to maintain or stabilize the market price of the Securities offered at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be interrupted or discontinued at any time. No underwriter involved in an “at-the-market distribution”, no affiliate of such an underwriter and no person or company acting jointly or in concert with such an underwriter may over-allot Common Shares in connection with the distribution or may effect any other transactions that are intended stabilize or maintain the market price of the Common Shares in connection with an “at-the-market distribution” including selling an aggregate number or principal amount of Securities that would result in the underwriter creating an over-allocation position in the Securities.

This Prospectus constitutes a public offering of these Securities only in those jurisdictions where they may be lawfully offered for sale and therein only by persons permitted to sell such Securities. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Securities have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act or any state securities laws. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Securities may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, persons in the United States, unless the Securities are registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration requirements is available. Each underwriter, dealer and agent who participates in the distribution will agree not to sell or offer to sell or to solicit any offer to buy any Securities within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, a person in the United States, except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws. This Prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of these Securities in the United States.

Each Prospectus Supplement with respect to the Securities being offered will set forth the terms of the offering, including:

  • the person offering the Securities;

  • the name or names of any underwriters, dealers or other placement agents;

  • the number and the purchase price of, and form of consideration for, the Securities;

  • any proceeds to the Company from such sale; and

  • any commissions, fees, discounts and other items constituting underwriters’, dealers’ or agents’ compensation.

Secondary Offering

This Prospectus may also, from time to time, relate to the offering of Common Shares by certain selling securityholders. The Prospectus Supplement that we will file in connection with any offering of Common Shares by selling securityholders will include the following information:

  • the names of the selling securityholders;

  • the number or amount of Common Shares owned, controlled or directed by each selling securityholder;

23

  • the number or amount of Common Shares being distributed for the account of each selling securityholder;

  • the number or amount of securities to be owned, controlled or directed by the selling securityholders after the distribution and the percentage that number or amount represents of the total number of our outstanding securities; and

  • whether such Common Shares are owned by the selling securityholders both of record and beneficially, of record only or beneficially only.

The selling securityholders may sell all or a portion of the Common Shares beneficially owned by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If Common Shares are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling securityholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions. Common Shares may be sold by the selling securityholders in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions, as follows:

  • on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;

  • in the over-the-counter market;

  • in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market;

  • through the writing of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise;

  • • ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

  • block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

  • purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

  • an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the TSXV;

  • privately negotiated transactions;

  • short sales;

  • broker-dealers may agree with the selling securityholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

  • a combination of any such methods of sale; and

  • • any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

If the selling securityholders effect such transactions by selling the Common Shares to or through underwriters, brokerdealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling securityholders or commissions from purchasers of our Common Shares for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection with sales of the Common Shares or otherwise, the selling securityholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the Common Shares in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling securityholders may also sell the Common Shares short and deliver the Common Shares covered by this Prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The selling securityholders may also loan or pledge the Common Shares to brokerdealers that in turn may sell such Common Shares.

CERTAIN INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The applicable Prospectus Supplement may describe certain Canadian federal income tax consequences to an investor who is a non-resident of Canada or to an investor who is a resident of Canada of acquiring, owning and disposing of any of the Securities offered thereunder. Investors should read the tax discussion in any Prospectus

24

Supplement with respect to a particular offering and consult their own tax advisors with respect to their own particular circumstances.

EXEMPTION UNDER SECURITIES LAWS

The Company has applied for an exemption pursuant to Section 11.1 of NI 44-102 requesting relief in the province of British Columbia from the requirement under Section 6.3(1)3 of NI 44-102 to include a prospectus certificate signed by each agent or underwriter who, with respect to the offering of Securities under this Prospectus, is in a contractual relationship with the Company to the extent that such party is not a registered dealer in any Canadian jurisdiction and is acting in its capacity as agent or underwriter solely outside of Canada (a “ Foreign Dealer ”) with respect to an offering of securities to non-Canadian resident purchasers only, where there is no concurrent public offering of securities made in Canada or to residents of Canada (a “ Foreign Offering ”). The issuance of a receipt for this Prospectus will evidence the granting of the requested relief in the province of British Columbia only with respect to this Prospectus and any Prospectus Supplement for a Foreign Offering. The application of the exemptive relief to a Foreign Offering will be subject to the following conditions being fulfilled: (i) there will be no distribution of securities under the applicable Prospectus Supplement to purchasers resident in Canada in connection with such Foreign Offering; (ii) there will be no solicitations or advertising activities undertaken in Canada in furtherance of the aforementioned distributions; (iii) neither the Company nor any person in a contractual relationship with the Company will engage in any underwriting activities in Canada in connection with such Foreign Offering which would trigger dealer or underwriter registration requirements under applicable Canadian securities laws; and (iv) distributions under such Foreign Offering will be completed in compliance with the applicable securities laws of the jurisdiction in which the purchasers are resident by or through a Foreign Dealer registered in such jurisdiction. No application for exemptive relief was sought in any other jurisdiction of Canada, as the Company is of the position that there would be no distribution of Securities for purposes of applicable securities laws in those other jurisdictions in connection with a Foreign Offering.

STATUTORY RIGHTS OF WITHDRAWAL AND RESCISSION

Securities legislation in some provinces and territories of Canada provides purchasers of securities with the right to withdraw from an agreement to purchase securities and with remedies for rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revisions of the price, or damages if the Prospectus, Prospectus Supplement, and any amendment relating to securities purchased by a purchaser are not sent or delivered to the purchaser. However, purchasers of securities under an at-the-market distribution by DMG do not have the right to withdraw from an agreement to purchase the securities and do not have remedies of rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revisions of the price, or damages for non-delivery of the Prospectus, Prospectus Supplement, and any amendment relating to securities purchased by such purchaser because the Prospectus, Prospectus Supplement, and any amendment relating to the securities purchased by such purchaser will not be sent or delivered, as permitted under Part 9 of National Instrument 44-102.

Securities legislation in some provinces and territories of Canada further provides purchasers with remedies for rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revisions of the price or damages if the Prospectus, Prospectus Supplement, and any amendment relating to securities purchased by a purchaser contains a misrepresentation.

Those remedies must be exercised by the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by securities legislation. Any remedies under securities legislation that a purchaser of securities distributed under an at-the-market distribution by DMG may have against DMG or its agents for rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revisions of the price, or damages if the Prospectus, Prospectus Supplement, and any amendment relating to securities purchased by a purchaser contain a misrepresentation will remain unaffected by the non-delivery of the Prospectus referred to above.

A purchaser should refer to applicable securities legislation for the particulars of these rights and should consult a legal adviser.

In an offering of Warrants, or other convertible, exchangeable or exercisable securities, investors are cautioned that the statutory right of action for damages under Canadian securities laws for a misrepresentation contained in the Prospectus or a Prospectus Supplement (or any amendment thereto) is limited, in certain provincial and territorial securities legislation, to the price at which the Warrants, or other convertible, exchangeable or exercisable securities are offered to the public under the Prospectus offering. This means that, under the securities legislation of certain provinces and territories, if the purchaser pays additional amounts upon conversion, exchange or exercise of such securities, those amounts may not be recoverable under the statutory right of action for damages that applies in those provinces. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province or territory for the particulars of these rights, or consult with a legal advisor.
