Order of importance, starting with the
most important, the main risks of investing in the issuer's
business for the purchasers:
Investment in the Special Warrants is highly speculative given the proposed nature of the Issuer’s business and its present stage of development. The following are risk factors associated with the Issuer, but are not intended to be all inclusive: (a) Exploration and Development – Resource exploration and development is a speculative business, characterized by a number of significant risks including, among other things, market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of milling facilities, mineral markets, processing equipment, and changes in environmental, safety and government regulations. (b) Insufficient Capital and Financial Risks - The Issuer does not currently have any revenue producing operations and may, from time to time, report a working capital deficit. The Issuer has no history of earnings and, due to the nature of its business, there can be no assurance that the Issuer will be profitable. The Issuer has paid no dividends on its Common Shares since incorporation and does not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future. (c) No Established Market - There is currently no market through which the Issuer’s securities may be sold. There can be no assurance that the Issuer will be successful in filing a prospectus, in which case the Special Warrants will have no economic value. The Special Warrants are subject to an indefinite hold period and the purchasers may have no ability to sell their Special Warrants. If the Special Warrants are converted to Common Shares, there can be no assurance that an active and liquid market for the Common Shares will develop and purchasers may find it difficult to resell their Common Shares. (d) Limited Business History - The Issuer has only recently commenced operations and has no history of operating earnings. (e) Project Risks – No assurances can be given that minerals will be in sufficient quantities to justify commercial operations or mineral deposits that, though present, are sufficient in quantity and quality to return a profit from production. If the Issuer loses or abandons its interest in the project, there is no assurance that it will be able to acquire other mineral properties of merit. (f) COVID-19 Pandemic - The Issuer’s business, operations and financial condition can be materially and adversely affected by the outbreak of epidemics or pandemics or other health crises, including COVID‐19 and any variants thereof. (g) Uninsurable Risks - In the course of exploration, development and production of mineral properties, certain risks, including rock bursts, cave-ins, fires, flooding and earthquakes may occur. It is not always possible to fully insure against such risks. (h) Fluctuating Mineral Prices and Currency Risks - Prices for precious and base metals fluctuate on a daily basis, have historically been subject to wide fluctuations and are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Issuer. Currency fluctuations may affect the cash flow which the Issuer may realize from its operations. (i) Dependence on Management - The success of the Issuer is currently largely dependent on the performance of its directors and officers. The directors and officers of the Issuer will only devote a portion of their time to the business and affairs of the Issuer and some of them are or will be engaged in other projects or businesses such that conflicts of interest may arise from time to time. Conflicts, if any, will be dealt with in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). (j) Dilution - Subsequent issuances of securities, including Common Shares and stock options, will result in a substantial dilution of the equity interests of existing shareholders and may result in a change of control of the Issuer. (k) Tax Issues - Income tax consequences in relation to the Special Warrants and Common Shares will vary according to the circumstances by each purchaser. Purchasers should seek independent advice from their own tax and legal advisors. (l) Price Volatility of Publicly Traded Securities - In recent years, the securities markets in Canada have experienced a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market prices of securities of many corporations have experienced wide fluctuations in price, which have not necessarily been related to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such corporations. There can be no assurance that continual fluctuations in price will not occur. (m) Stress in the Global Economy - Reduction in credit, combined with reduced economic activity and the fluctuations in global currencies, may adversely affect businesses and industries that purchase commodities, affecting commodity prices in more significant and unpredictable ways than the normal risks associated with commodity prices. The availability of services such as drilling contractors and geological service companies and/or the terms on which these services are provided may be adversely affected by the economic impact on the service providers. As a result of these factors, an investment in the Special Warrants is only suitable for those investors who are willing to rely solely on the management of the Issuer and who can afford to lose their entire investment. Those investors who are not prepared to do so should not invest in the Special Warrants.
Nature and frequency of any disclosure
of information the issuer intends to provide to purchasers
after the closing of the distribution and explain how
purchasers can access this information:
The Issuer does not anticipate providing purchasers with any additional disclosure, except as may be required under applicable laws.
If the issuer is required by corporate legislation, its constating documents (e.g., articles of
incorporation or by-laws) or otherwise to provide annual financial statements or an
information circular/proxy statements to its security holders, state that fact.
Pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), the Issuer is required to provide its annual financial statements to its shareholders and appoint an auditor, unless unanimously waived by the shareholders. These financial statements must be produced and published within six months of the Issuer’s financial year end. Also the Issuer is required to hold an annual general meeting of shareholders each calendar year and within 15 months of its previous annual general meeting. The Issuer will send an information circular to its shareholders in connection with such meeting.
If the issuer is aware, after making reasonable inquiries, of any existing voting trust agreement among certain shareholders of the issuer, provide the information:
The number of shareholders party to the agreement: N/A
The percentage of voting shares of the issuer subject to the agreement: N/A
The name of the person acting as a trustee: N/A
Whether the trustee has been granted any additional powers: N/A
Whether the agreement is limited to a specified period of time: N/A
