The proceeds from the sale of the Subscription Receipts will be held in escrow pending completion of the Transaction and, following completion of the Transaction, are expected to be used for exploration and related expenditures on the Yukon properties to be acquired, and for working capital purposes.

The Subscription Receipts, including the Shares and the Warrants issuable upon automatic exercise of the Subscription Receipts, as well as the Warrant Shares issuable on exercise of the Warrants, are subject to a statutory hold period in Canada expiring four months and one day from the closing date of the Private Placement, being June 17, 2021.
