Furthermore, the Corporation issued the Agents an aggregate of 4,361,642 non-transferable broker warrants of the Corporation ("Broker Warrants"), being 6% of the aggregate number of Units issued pursuant to the Offering (other than in respect of Units issued to certain subscribers). Each Broker Warrant is exercisable to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price of C$0.105 per Common Share at any time on or before May 14, 2028. The Corporation also issued 578,750 Common Shares to 2743708 Ontario Inc., an arm's length finder, in connection with the Offering, representing 5% of the aggregate number of Units that were sold to subscribers introduced to the Corporation by such finder.
The Corporation intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering for advancing development of the Mallay Mine, working capital and general corporate purposes.
Eric Sprott, through 2176423 Ontario Ltd., a corporation that is beneficially owned by him, acquired 15,238,100 Units pursuant to the Offering at a price of C$0.105 per Unit for total consideration of C$1,600,000.50. As a result of the Offering, Mr. Sprott now beneficially owns and/or controls 21,031,243 Common Shares and 8,369,050 warrants (including the Warrants acquired under the Offering), representing approximately 9.5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis and 12.8% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a partially-diluted basis assuming exercise of such warrants (including the Warrants acquired under the Offering).
