The FT Shares qualify as flow-through shares for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada). The Company will renounce said expenditures to the investors for the taxation year ending December 31, 2024.
Dr. Georg Pollert, a director and controlling shareholder of the Company, purchased an aggregate of 12,500,000 Shares pursuant to the Private Placement. As a result, the issuance of these Shares pursuant to the Private Placement is considered a related party transaction (as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101")). The Company relied upon the "Fair Market Value Not More Than 25% of Market Capitalization" exemption from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements, respectively, under MI 61-101.
All securities issued are subject to a four-month and one day hold period pursuant to securities laws in Canada and the Exchange Hold Period, expiring on October 8, 2024. The Company paid finder's fees to Echelon Wealth Partners Inc. in the amount of $27,000 cash and 168,750 finder's warrants (the "Finder's Warrants"). The Finder's Warrants are non-transferable and exercisable until June 7, 2026 at $0.16 per Share.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement of FT Shares to incur Canadian exploration expenses (the "Qualifying Expenditures") on its projects in Nunavut prior to December 31, 2025, and the net proceeds from the Private Placement of Shares for general working capital purposes.
The Private Placement remains subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
