exercisable up until the closing of the Offering, to purchase up to an
additional C$4,015,000 of Units at the Issue Price.


The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to continue to
advance its Kamistiatusset project located in the Labrador Trough iron ore
district in Canada, and for general corporate and working capital purposes.


The Company has agreed to pay the Underwriters a cash commission equal to 6.0%
of the gross proceeds of the Offering and to issue compensation options
entitling the Underwriters to purchase such number of Units that is equal to
6.0% of the aggregate number of Units sold pursuant to the Offering, at an
exercise price equal to the Unit Price, for a period of 24 months following the
closing of the Offering.
