Each whole warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one common share for $0.05 at any time within 3 years after closing of the Offering subject to an acceleration clause entitling the Company to accelerate the Maturity Date (i) on 30 days notice if the average closing price of the common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange is greater than $0.10 per share over a period of 20 consecutive business days (following the expiry of the 4-month “hold period”) or (ii) to the completion date of any take-over bid, amalgamation or plan of arrangement or other form of merger, in either case after the Company gives notice by issuing a press release and depositing a notice in the mail to each warrant holder.
