Option will consist of one common share of the Company and one-half of one
Warrant (a "Broker Warrant"). Each Broker Option will be exercisable at a price
of $0.55 per Broker Option for a period of 24 months following the closing date

The Company will use the gross proceeds from the sale of the FT Units to incur
Canadian exploration expenses (as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada)) for
the Company's 100%-owned Lac Gueret graphite property in northeastern Quebec,
which expenses will be renounced for the 2013 taxation year. The net proceeds of
the sale of the HD Units will be used for exploration expenses on the Lac Gueret
property and for general corporate purposes.


The Offering is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the
receipt of all necessary approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture
Exchange and applicable securities regulatory authorities. All securities issued
pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a four month and one day hold
