Management intends to use the proceeds of the offering to put the past producing Fabie Bay Mine (copper, zinc, gold and silver), located in Quebec Canada, back into production.

The commitment letter contemplates the issuance of US$15 million convertible debentures maturing five years from the date of issuance bearing interest at 8% per annum, payable annually, with the first two years of interest payments being placed in trust on closing of the issuance of the debentures. The debentures will be convertible at any time three years after the date of issuance and prior to maturity, and at the option of the Company, into common shares of the Company, at a conversion price equal to the 60 day average closing price of the common shares prior to the date of conversion. The convertible debentures will be secured against the assets and undertaking of the Company. It is expected that the issuance of the debentures will be completed within 60 days of receipt of the commitment letter.
