The net proceeds of the offering will be used for exploration at the Company’s gold and base metals projects in Virginia, and other potential projects in the USA and for general working capital purposes.

The Company anticipates that current insiders of the Company may participate in the Offering. Subject to Exchange approval, finder’s fees may be paid to persons who introduce the Company to investors. The Offering may be closed in one or more tranches as subscriptions are received.
