CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING AND OTHER STATEMENTS

Certain statements and other information contained or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus constitute forward- looking information under Canadian securities legislation (collectively, "forward-looking statements") including, without limitation, statements containing the words "believe," "may," "plan," "will," "estimate," "continue," "anticipate," "intend," "expect," "predict," "project," "potential," "continue," "ongoing" or the negative or grammatical variations of these terms or other comparable terminology, although not all forwardlooking statements contain these words and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based on estimates and assumptions made by the Company in light of the Company's experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as the factors we believe are appropriate. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

the Company's ability to maintain the listing of the Common Shares on the CSE;
the Company's strategy and intention to grow the business;
the Company's ability to obtain future funding;
the Company's expected expenditures and accumulated deficit level;
the Company's intended use of net proceeds from the sale of its securities;
the number of securities the Company intends to issue;
the liquidity and market price of the Common Shares;
the Company's expectations regarding the sufficiency of its capital resources and requirements for additional capital;
litigation risks;
currency fluctuations;
risks related to debt securities being secured;
risks related to the decrease of the market price of the Common Shares if the Company's shareholders ("Shareholders") sell substantial amounts of Common Shares;
risks related to future sales or issuances of equity securities diluting voting power and reducing future earnings per share;
planned exploration and development programs and expenditures;
the estimation of mineral resources;
magnitude or quality of mineral deposits;
anticipated advancement of mineral properties and programs;
future exploration prospects;
proposed exploration plans and expected results of exploration from the Properties (as defined herein);
the Company's future financial conditions, results of operations, plans, objectives, performance or business developments including, among other things, exploration and work programs, drilling plans and timing of drilling, plans for facilities construction and timing, and method of funding and completion thereof;

anticipated costs and ability to achieve goals;
the Company's competitive position and its expectations regarding competition; and
anticipated trends and challenges in the Company's business and the markets in which it operates.

Forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by the Company in light of the experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments and other factors it believes are appropriate and are subject to risks and uncertainties. In making the forward-looking statements included in this Prospectus, the Company has made various material assumptions, including but not limited to: (i) obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals; (ii) that regulatory requirements will be maintained; (iii) general business, economic and political conditions; (iv) the Company's ability to successfully execute its plans and intentions; (v) the availability of financing on reasonable terms; (vi) the Company's ability to attract and retain skilled staff; (vii) market competition the Company's ability to conduct operations in a safe, efficient and effective manner; and (viii) the Company's plans and timeframe for completion of such plans. Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying these statements are reasonable, they may prove to be incorrect, and the Company cannot assure that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. Further, the aforementioned assumptions may be affected by the negative disruptive effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has resulted in a widespread health crisis that has already affected the economies and financial markets of many countries around the world. The international response to the spread of COVID-19 has led to significant restrictions on travel; temporary business closures; quarantines; global stock market and financial market volatility; a general reduction in consumer activity; operating, supply chain and project development delays and disruptions; and declining trade and market sentiment, all of which have and could further affect commodity prices, interest rates, credit ratings and credit risk.

Readers are cautioned that these factors are difficult to predict and that the assumptions used in developing the Forward-Looking Statements may prove to be incorrect. Readers are also cautioned that the list of risk factors contained in this prospectus or the documents incorporated by reference herein is not exhaustive. Accordingly, readers are cautioned that the Company's actual results may vary from the Forward-Looking Statements, and the variations may be material.

Additional information on these and other factors is provided under the heading "Risk Factors" in this Prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein including in the MD&A (as defined herein) under the heading "Risk Factors" and in the IPO Prospectus (as defined herein) under the heading "Risk Factors", as may be modified or superseded by other subsequently filed documents that are also incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Prospectus.

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties, or a risk that is not currently known to us, materialize, or should assumptions underlying those forward-looking statements prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this Prospectus and we do not intend, and do not assume any obligation, to update these forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable securities laws. Investors are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are inherently uncertain. Accordingly, investors are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

The Maverick Springs Project and Battle Mountain Portfolio

On December 17, 2021, in connection with its acquisition of the Maverick Springs Project and the Battle Mountain Portfolio, the Company closed a securities exchange agreement with Goldco and the securityholders of Goldco, pursuant to which it has acquired all of the issued and outstanding securities of Goldco.

On December 23, 2021, the Company closed on an asset purchase agreement acquiring the flagship Maverick Springs Project and 15 additional projects that comprise the Battle Mountain Portfolio, located in the gold mining regions of northeastern Nevada.

The Maverick Springs Project

The Company has acquired its flagship Maverick Springs Project between the Elko and White Pine Counties in Nevada, USA and in February 2022 completed an 43-101-compliant, pit-constrained mineral resource estimate ("MRE") on the flagship Maverick Springs project located in the famous gold mining district of northeastern Nevada. The MRE report reflects an Inferred resource of 3.71 million ounces of gold equivalent (AuEq; 68.9 g/t silfer equivalent) and has the effective date of Feb. 4, 2022.

The Maverick Springs Project consists of approximately 4,800 acres across 247 unpatented claims that straddle the border of Elko county and White Pine county, proximate to the Carlin trend, a belt of gold deposits approximately five miles wide and 40 miles long that is one of the world's richest gold mining districts, having produced more gold than any other mining district in the United States. The Maverick Springs Project is located just 30 kilometres northeast of Kinross's Bald Mountain mine with measured and indicated resources (inclusive of proven and probable reserves) of 4.5 million ounces grading 0.52 gram per tonne gold.

Maverick Springs is a silver-rich-sediment/carbonate-hosted or Carlin-type deposit, which is among the largest hydrothermal gold deposits in the world. Gold production in Nevada is dominated by Carlin-type deposits, similar to Maverick Springs. Maverick Springs is a blind deposit comprising a 30 to 120-metre-thick, flat-lying zone centred on an anticlinal structure with oxidation pervasive to 120 metres and intermittent to 270 metres.

The Maverick Springs Project is accessible year-round by gravel road, with a network of drill roads spread throughout its claims. Nearby electrical power can be sourced from the eastern Nevada grid system to the northwest. The claims at Maverick Springs were first staked in 1986, with several exploration programs conducted from 1987 to 2004, including a total of 195 drill holes totaling 47,000 metres.

The Battle Mountain Portfolio

The Battle Mountain Portfolio is composed of 15 separate projects that total over 44,478 acres across 2,203 unpatented claims in five counties: Elko county, Eureka county, Humboldt county, Lander county and Nye county (collectively, the "Battle Mountain Portfolio"). The Battle Mountain Portfolio is primarily located along the Battle Mountain-Eureka trend, a belt of gold deposits spanning over 100 miles in length between Battle Mountain and Eureka, Nev., which is home to several of the United States' largest gold mines, including Nevada Gold's worldfamous Cortez and Phoenix operations, which produced a combined one million ounces of gold in 2020, and SSR Mining Inc.'s Marigold mine, which is expected to produce approximately 2.37 million ounces of gold between 2018 and 2028.

The northernmost projects in the Battle Mountain Portfolio, the Golconda and Clover projects, lie just south of the Getchell gold belt, which bridges the northwestern ends of the Carlin and Battle Mountain trends, and contains Nevada Gold's Turquoise Ridge mine, the third-largest gold mine in the United States with 537,000 ounces of gold production reported in 2020. The Brock and Stargo projects are situated on the southern end of the Austin-Lovelock trend, southwest of Eureka and northeast from Kinross Gold Corp.'s Round Mountain mine, which placed as the fourth-largest gold mine in the U.S. and, in November of 2018, poured its 15-millionth ounce of gold since beginning operations in 1978.

The Battle Mountain Portfolio is composed of primarily early-stage projects. While drilling has been completed at some projects, such as Elder Creek (155 holes) and Clover (104 holes), many have only surface sampling and geophysical surveys completed. Notable drill intersects include 25.3 g/t Au over 9.75 metres at Clover (13) and, according to documentation provided by Waterton Global Resource Management Inc., 3.19 g/t Au over 38.96 metres at Elder Creek and 8.02 g/t Au and 174 g/t Ag over 9.14 metres at Long Peak. Of particular note are the Long Peak, Elephant, Elder Creek, North Mill Creek, Clipper, Pipeline South and West Cortez, and Walti projects, which are interpreted to lie along the northwest-trending fault that hosts the high-grade Pipeline deposit, which is included in Nevada Gold's Cortez mine.

The surrounding area

The Maverick Springs Project and the Battle Mountain Portfolio are primarily located in the same belts of gold deposits that house Nevada Gold's most notable properties. The Maverick Springs Project is located just to the east of the Carlin trend, the gold belt that hosts Nevada Gold's Carlin mine (a combination of Newmont's Carlin mine and Barrick Gold Corp.'s Goldstrike mine), the world's second-largest gold mine, which reported 1,665,000 ounces of gold produced in 2020. Through 2019, the Carlin trend has produced over 92.5 million ounces of gold since the original Carlin mine went into production in 1965, and between 1987 and the end of 2018, Barrick produced over 44 million ounces of gold from the Goldstrike mine alone. The majority of the Battle Mountain Portfolio is located within the Battle Mountain trend, with several projects in close proximity to globally reputable gold deposits, including Nevada Gold's Cortez mine, the third-largest gold mine in North America and the sixth largest in the world, which reported 2020 gold production at 799,000 ounces. The same belt of deposits also contains the recently discovered Goldrush complex that, as of 2016, carries measured and indicated resources of 25.2 million tonnes grading 10.6 grams per tonne, representing 8.6 million ounces of gold in the ground.

Letter of Intent with Plutus Gold

In addition to the Properties, on August 25, 2022, the Company announced that it has signed a binding Letter of Intent to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares in Plutus Gold Corp. ("Plutus Gold"), which holds the option to acquire the Snowbird High-Grade Gold Project. The Company intends to acquire 100% interest in Plutus Gold for a $200,000 cash payment, and 8,000,000 Common Shares. As the final obligation remaining under the option agreement between Plutus Gold and Gitennes Exploration Ltd. (the "Pluto Option Agreement"), Pluto Gold is committed to completing further work on the Snowbird High-Grade Gold Project with expenditures totaling $1,000,000 on or before June 30, 2022 in order to exercise its option to acquire the claims.

While the Company's due diligence review remains ongoing, it has progressed sufficiently that the Company has opted to finance Plutus Gold's Drill Program via a drawable loan facility up to $1,100,000 CAD in order to facilitate the fulfillment of Plutus Gold's final obligations remaining under the Pluto Option Agreement. The Company anticipates that it will complete its acquisition of Plutus Gold in the Spring of 2022.

See "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking and Other Statements".

In particular, you should carefully consider the risks described under the Company's IPO Prospectus 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".

COVID-19 global pandemic

The COVID-19 outbreak and the response of governmental authorities to try to limit it are having a significant impact on the private sector and individuals, including unprecedented business, employment and economic disruptions. The continued spread of COVID-19 nationally and globally could have an adverse impact on our business, operations and financial results. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has implemented precautionary measures at its corporate office, including limiting visits to essential personnel and ensuring proper protocols around sanitation and social distancing.

The outbreak of COVID-19 may cause disruptions to the Company's business and operational plans. These disruptions may include disruptions resulting from (i) shortages of employees, (ii) unavailability of contractors and subcontractors, (iii) interruption of supplies from third parties upon which the Company relies, (iv) restrictions that governments impose to address the COVID-19 outbreak, and (v) restrictions that the Company and its contractors and subcontractors impose to ensure the safety of employees and others. Further, it is presently not possible to predict the extent or durations of these disruptions. These disruptions may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. Such adverse effect could be rapid and unexpected. These disruptions may severely impact the Company's ability to carry out its business plans for 2022.

Risks Related to the Offering of Securities

Market price of Common Shares

The market price of the Common Shares may be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond the Company's control. This volatility may affect the ability of holders of Common Shares to sell their securities at an advantageous price. Market price fluctuations in the Common Shares may be due to the Company's operating results failing to meet expectations of securities analysts or investors in any period, downward revision in securities analysts' estimates, adverse changes in general market conditions or economic trends, acquisitions, dispositions or other material public announcements by the Company or its competitors, along with a variety of additional factors. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of the Common Shares.

Financial markets have historically at times experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the market prices of equity securities of companies and have often been unrelated to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. Accordingly, the market price of the Common Shares may decline even if the Company's operating results, underlying asset values or prospects have not changed. Additionally, these factors, as well as other related factors, may cause decreases in asset values that are deemed to be other than temporary, which may result in impairment losses. There can be no assurance that continuing fluctuations in price and volume will not occur. If such increased levels of volatility and market turmoil continue, the Company's operations could be adversely impacted and the trading price of the Common Shares may be materially adversely affected.

Absence of a public market for some of the Securities

There is no public market for the Preferred Shares, 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 Preferred Shares, 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 Preferred Shares, 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 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 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 CSE or other public listing exchanges.

Unsecured Debt Securities

Unless otherwise indicated in an applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Debt Securities will be direct unsecured obligations of the Company. As a result, in the event that the Company defaults in payment of the Debt Securities, investors in the Debt Securities could receive no compensation and lose all or some of their investment.

In addition, the Debt Securities could 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 ratably 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 ratably 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. If the Debt Securities are subordinated indebtedness and the Company defaults in payment of its obligations, investors in the Debt Securities will be paid following payment of senior indebtedness or secured obligations. An investor could lose all or some of their investment.

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.

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 for operational costs relating to its business and 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.

For the three-month period ended November 30, 2021, 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.

We had negative cash flow from operating activities of $321,470 for the year ended August 31, 2021 and $1,015,796 for the three months period ended November 30, 2021. In addition to other uses of net proceeds described herein and to be specified in a prospectus supplement, the net proceeds from sales of securities may also be used to fund anticipated negative cash flow from operating activities in future periods.

CONSOLIDATED CAPITALIZATION

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 issue Debt Securities bearing no interest or interest at a rate below the prevailing market rate at the time of issuance, and offer and sell these securities at a discount below their stated principal amount. 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.

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Company may issue Debt Securities with terms different from those of Debt Securities previously issued and, without the consent of the holders thereof, reopen a previous issue of a series of Debt Securities and issue additional Debt Securities of such series.

Original purchasers of Debt Securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for other securities of the Company will be granted a contractual right of rescission against the Company in respect of the purchase and conversion or exchange of such Debt Security. The contractual right of rescission will entitle such original purchasers to receive the amount paid on original purchase of the Debt Security and the amount paid upon conversion or exchange, 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.

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 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 Preferred 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 the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario, 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 the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario 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.

The Company may issue Subscription Receipts separately or in combination with one or more other Securities, which will entitle holders thereof to receive, upon satisfaction of certain release conditions (the "Release Conditions") and for no additional consideration, Common Shares, Preferred Shares, Warrants, Debt Securities or any combination thereof. Subscription Receipts will be issued pursuant to one or more Subscription Receipt agreement (each, a "Subscription Receipt Agreement"), the material terms of which will be described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, each to be entered into between the Company and an escrow agent (the "Escrow Agent") that will be named in the relevant Prospectus Supplement. 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.

The Prospectus Supplement and the Subscription Receipt Agreement for any Subscription Receipts that we may offer will describe the specific terms of the Subscription Receipts offered. This description may include, but may not be limited to, any of the following, if applicable:

the designation and aggregate number of Subscription Receipts being offered;
the price at which the Subscription Receipts will be offered;
the designation, number and terms of the Common Shares, Preferred Shares, Warrants and/or Debt Securities to be received by the holders of Subscription Receipts upon satisfaction of the Release Conditions, and any procedures that will result in the adjustment of those numbers;

Original purchasers of Subscription Receipts will have a contractual right of rescission against the Company in respect of the conversion of the Subscription Receipts. The contractual right of rescission will entitle such original purchasers to receive the amount paid on original purchase of the Subscription Receipts 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 takes place within 180 days of the date of the purchase of the Subscription Receipts under this Prospectus; and (ii) the right of rescission is exercised within 180 days of the date of purchase of the Subscription Receipts under this Prospectus.

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

Holders of Subscription Receipts are entitled only to receive Common Shares, Preferred 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.

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, Preferred 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

We may issue our Securities offered by this Prospectus for cash or other consideration (i) to or through underwriters, dealers, placement agents or other intermediaries, (ii) directly to one or more purchasers or (iii) in connection with acquisitions of assets or shares or another entity or company. The consideration for an acquisition of assets or shares of another entity or company may consist of any of the Securities covered hereby separately, a combination of such Securities, or any combination of, among other things, securities, cash or the assumption of liabilities.

Each Prospectus Supplement with respect to our 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, our Securities;
any proceeds to the Company from such sale; and
any commissions, fees, discounts and other items constituting underwriters', dealers' or agents' compensation.

Our 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 price or at negotiated prices, including sales made directly on the CSE or other existing trading markets for the Securities. 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 bona fide effort to sell all of the Securities at the initial offering price fixed in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the public offering price may be decreased and thereafter further changed, from time to time, to an amount not greater than the initial 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.

Only underwriters named in the Prospectus Supplement are deemed to be underwriters in connection with our securities offered by that Prospectus Supplement.

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

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

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 the Company 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.

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, Preferred Shares, 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.
