The company understands that Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. and Hudbay Minerals Inc., two of its existing strategic investors, have purchased, as part of a follow-on transaction to the issuance of the flow-through shares, all of the common shares issued under the offering.
The flow-through shares issued under the offering are subject to a hold period expiring four months and one day from the date of issuance, pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws. The offering remains subject to final acceptance of the Toronto Stock Exchange.
