100% owned San Diego Project, in Durango Mexico, and for working
capital and general corporate purposes.
The Offering remains subject to TSX Venture
Exchange (the “TSXV”) final acceptance.
Mr. Sprott is an insider and control person of
the Company and as such, his participation in connection with the
Private Placement is a related-party transaction under the policies
of the TSXV and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 -- Protection of
Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI
61-101”). The Company is relying on exemptions from the
minority shareholder approval and formal valuation requirements
applicable to the related-party transactions under sections 5.5(a)
and 5.7(1)(a), respectively, of MI 61-101, as neither the fair
market value of the shares purchased on behalf of Mr. Sprott nor
the consideration paid by him exceeds 25% of the Company's market
capitalization. The Company did not file a material change report
in respect of the related-party transaction at least 21 days prior
to the closing of the Private Placement, which the Company deems
reasonable in the circumstances so as to be able to avail itself of
the proceeds of the Private Placement in an expeditious manner. On
September 17, 2021, disinterested shareholders of the Company
approved the potential creation of Eric Sprott as a Control Person
(as the term is defined by the TSXV Policy 1.1) of the Company.
