Full Description of Material Change
The Company closed the second and final tranche of the Private Placement previously announced on December 6, 2022 and upsized on December 15, 2022 for gross proceeds of the second tranche to the Company of $474,217.91. The total aggregate gross proceeds raised under the first and second tranches of the Private Placement is $1,380,000.
Under the second tranche of the Private Placement, the Company has issued a total of 2,061,817 Units at a price of $0.23 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one common share (each a " Common Share ") of the Company and one half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a " Warrant "). Each whole Warrant is exercisable into one Common Share at a price of $0.35 per Common Share until January 13, 2025.
The net proceeds of the Private Placement will be used: (i) to fund the Company's exploration programs, including its four newly acquired mineral properties in south east Arizona; (ii) to fund the $300,000 cash option payment due December 31, 2022 (paid) under the option agreement pursuant to which the Company was granted a right to acquire a 100% interest in its Ruby Creek Property; and (iii) for general, corporate and administrative expenses.
In connection with the closing of the second tranche of the Private Placement, the Company paid finders' fees in cash totaling $9,225.76 to Canaccord Genuity Corp., PI Financial Corp. and Red Cloud Securities Inc. (collectively, the " Finders "), representing 8% of the gross proceeds from the sale of Units placed by the Finders, and issued to the Finders a total of 40,112 non-transferable finder's warrants (" Finder's Warrants "), representing 8% of the Units placed by such Finders. Each Finder's Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share at a price of $0.35 per Common Share until January 13, 2025.
An insider of the Company purchased or acquired direction and control over a total of 87,000 Units under the second tranche of the Private Placement. Such participation is considered to be a "related
party transaction" within the meaning of TSX Venture Exchange (" TSXV ") Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (" MI 61–101 ") adopted in the Policy. The Company has relied on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61–101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61–101 in respect of related party participation in the second tranche of the Private Placement as neither the fair market value (as determined under MI 61–101) of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction, insofar as it involves related parties, exceeds 25% of the Company's market capitalization (as determined under MI 61–101).
All securities issued pursuant to the second tranche of the Private Placement are subject to a hold period of four months and one day expiring on May 14, 2023.
