further 800,000 flow-through common shares (the "Flow-Through Shares" and

Each Flow-Through Unit was comprised of (i) 3,200 flow-through common shares at
a price of $0.25 per share, and (ii) 1,000 common shares at a price of $0.20 per
share and 500 common share purchase warrants (the "Warrants"), for a total price

2014. Each Unit was comprised of (i) 5,000 common shares at a price of $0.20 per
share, and (ii) 2,500 Warrants, for a total price per Unit of $1,000. The
Flow-Through Shares were issued at a price of $0.25 per share. 


The Warrants are subject to accelerated expiry in the event that at any time
after April 20, 2013 the common shares of the Company trade at a price equal to
or greater than $0.35 for twenty consecutive trading days at any time following
the date that is four months and one day from the closing of the Private
Placement. In such case, the Company will be entitled to accelerate the expiry
date of the Warrants by providing notice of accelerated expiry to the holders
and the Warrants will expire on the date that is 30 days from the date of such
notice. 


MGI Securities Inc. acted as agent for the Company (the "Agent") with respect to
the Private Placement. In connection with the Private Placement, the Company
paid a cash commission of $51,400 and issued a total of 200,080 Agent's warrants
. Each Agent's warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share of the
Company exercisable until December 19, 2014 at an exercise price of $0.25 per
share. The Agent was also reimbursed its fees and expenses incurred in
connection with the Private Placement.

exemptions from the prospectus requirement and are subject to a statutory hold
period expiring April 20, 2013. 


The net proceeds from the Flow-Through Shares and the flow-through share portion
of the Flow-Through Units will be used by the Company to incur Canadian
Exploration Expenses within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the
"ITA"), which will qualify as "flow-through mining expenditures" for the
purposes of the ITA, related to the exploration of Gespeg's mineral properties
in Quebec. The proceeds from the sale of the non flow-through shares will be
used to fund the continued exploration of Gespeg's mineral properties in Quebec
and for general working capital purposes.
