closed its previously announced C$100 million equity financing, including the

share at an exercise price of C$0.50 per common share for a period of two years

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to pay the balance
of the purchase consideration payable by the Company in connection with the
First Uranium Corp. gold stream purchase transaction and the remainder, for
general working capital purposes.
