Company may, within 15 days of the occurrence of such event,
deliver a notice to the holders of Warrants accelerating the expiry
date of the Warrants to the date that is 30 days following the date
of such notice (the "Accelerated Exercise Period"). Any
unexercised Warrants shall automatically expire at the end of the
Accelerated Exercise Period.
The net proceeds from the Offering will be used for exploration
at the Company's Tomtebo project in Sweden, and for working capital and general
corporate purposes.
Closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about
December 30, 2020 (the "Closing
Date") and is subject to certain customary conditions
including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary
regulatory approvals and acceptance of the TSX Venture
