As part of the qualifying transaction, the company has assumed the obligation of BPEx to issue up to 3.5 million BPEx shares (or payment of cash equivalent) to Tim Shearcroft upon BPEx receiving a National Instrument 43-101 resource estimate (inferred category or better) totalling at least 70 million ounces (oz) of silver or silver equivalent first being established at the Cosuno or Titiri project. The contingent shares are also subject to same escrow terms under the escrow agreement, if the contingent shares are issued within 36 months from the date of the company listing on the TSX-V.

Prior to the completion of the qualifying transaction, BPEx completed a non-brokered private placement of 16,666,633 subscription receipts at a price of 15 cents per subscription receipt, for total gross proceeds of $2,499,994.95. Each subscription receipt under the concurrent financing entitled the holder thereof to receive, for no additional consideration, one common share of BPEx and one-half of one share purchase warrant of BPEx, with each whole warrant exercisable at 20 cents for two years from the date of issue. On closing of the qualifying transaction, the holders of subscription receipt shares received consideration shares of the company and the financing warrants were exchanged for equivalent share purchase warrants of the company.

The net proceeds from the concurrent financing will be used to finance the development of the Cosuno property, expenses related to the qualifying transaction and for general working capital purposes. In conjunction with the private placement, BPEx issued 687,960 share purchase warrants to certain finders, each such warrant exercisable at 20 for cents 24 months from the date of issue.

No warrants were issued in connection with the debt settlement. The company debt included $10,000 owed to a director of the company, which was settled through the issuance of 66,667 shares. The participation of such person in the Farstarcap debt settlement is considered a related party transaction within the meaning of TSX-V Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101, Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions. The company relied on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(a) thereof on the basis that the fair market value of the consideration in such related party transaction did not exceed 25 per cent of the market capitalization of the company.

The 266,667 shares issued pursuant to the Farstarcap debt settlement will be subject to a four-month hold period, in accordance with National Instrument 45-102, Resale of Securities, of which the 66,667 shares issued to the insider will also be subject to the exchange hold period (as such term is defined in TSX-V Policy 1.1).
