Order of importance, starting with the
most important, the main risks of investing in the issuer's
business for the purchasers:
Exploration risk – The Property has limited history of being explored for minerals. Mineral exploration and development involves a high degree of risk as few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. Systemic risk – Substantial time and money (millions of dollars and years of time) are required to (i) establish ore reserves through drilling, (ii) develop processes to extract minerals from the ore and, (iii) in the case of new properties, to develop the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for mining. Even if an ore body is determined, the economics of developing it is affected by many factors including the cost of operations, variations in the grade of minerals mined, fluctuations in precious and base metal prices and markets, production limits, importing and exporting of minerals, and environmental protection; any of which could render an ore body uneconomic. Financing and Dilution risks – The Issuer will need to raise additional funds to undertake further exploration of the Property. There can be no assurance that the Issuer will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future to further exploration of the Property, or that the terms of such financing will be favourable. It will likely sell additional shares to raise such funds, which will result in the dilution of each shareholder’s equity interest in the Issuer. Liquidity risk – No market exists for securities of the Issuer; and there is no assurance that a trading market in the Issuer’s securities will be established and sustained.
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 will provide notice to each purchaser of each annual and special meeting of shareholders, together with an annual report of operations.
The securities you are purchasing are subject to a resale restriction. You may never be able to resell the securities.
If you purchase these securities, your rights may be limited and you will not have the same rights that are attached to a prospectus under applicable securities legislation. For information about your rights you should consult a lawyer. You can cancel your agreement to purchase these securities.

If there is an amendment to this offering document, you can cancel your agreement to purchase these securities by sending a notice to the funding portal within 48 hours of receiving notice of the amendment.
