Underwriters have agreed to purchase, on a bought deal basis,
54,545,500 units of the Company (the “

a price of C$0.275 per Unit (the “

for gross proceeds to the Company of C$15,000,012.50 (the
“
Offering”).
Each Unit will consist of one common share in
the capital of the Company (a “Common Share”) and
one half of one Common Share purchase warrant (a

holder thereof to purchase one Common Share (a “Warrant
Share”) at a price of C$0.41 for a period of 24 months

The Company will pay the Underwriters a cash
commission of 6.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering, subject
to a reduced cash commission being payable on sales to certain
members of the president’s list, including on any proceeds realized
on the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option.
In addition, CGN Mining Company Limited. may
exercise its right to maintain their pro rata interest in the
outstanding shares of the Company by participating in the Offering,
or by purchasing in a private placement, Units at the Offering
Price which will increase the gross proceeds to the Company.
The Underwriters have been granted an option
(the “Over-Allotment Option”), exercisable in
whole or in part, at any time for a period of 30 days after and
including the Closing Date (as defined herein), to purchase from
the Company up to an additional 15% of the Units offered under the
Offering.
The Offering is expected to close on or about
November 17, 2020, or such other date as may be agreed by the
Underwriters and the Company (the “Closing Date”),
and is subject to the Company receiving all necessary regulatory
approvals, including the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange
(the “TSX”) and applicable securities regulatory
authorities. The Units will be offered by way of a short form
prospectus in each of the provinces of Canada, excluding
Quebec.
The net proceeds of the Offering will be used to
fund the further development of the Triple R deposit in
Saskatchewan, to repay certain amounts owing under the credit
facility among the Company, Sprott Resources Lending Corp. and
Sprott Private Resource Lending II (Collector), LP, and for working
capital and general corporate purposes.
The securities to be offered pursuant to the
