The Company’s common shares outstanding are no par value, voting shares with no preferences or rights attached to them.
 
Common shares – 2016
 
In July 2016, the Company completed a financing for gross proceeds of $12,193,298 (C$16,124,000) consisting of 11,120,000 units at a price of $1.10 (C$1.45) per unit. Each unit consisted of one common share of the Company and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to acquire one additional common share of the Company at a price of C$2.00 per common share until July 25, 2019. The aggregate fair value of the common share purchase warrants at the time of issuance was $2,377,315 (C$3,144,180), which was recorded as a derivative liability and the Company allocated the remaining proceeds of $9,815,983 (C$12,979,820) to the common shares.
 
In connection with the financing, the Company also issued 757,700 common share purchase warrants to brokers with the same terms as the common share purchase warrants issued with the financing units. The aggregate fair value of the common share purchase warrants issued to the brokers at the time of issuance was $323,973 (C$428,479) which was recorded as a derivative liability.
 
The fair value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:
 
 
 
2016
 
Expected life years
 
3.00
 
Interest rate
 
0.58%
 
Volatility
 
87.29%
 
Dividend yield
 
Nil
 
 
In addition, the Company incurred cash share issue costs totalling $1,285,458 (C$985,303), which consisted of legal fees, commission and other direct financing costs.
 
In connection with the guidance of ASC 815-40-15, as the options and warrants are exercisable in a currency other than the functional currency of the Company they do not meet the “fixed-for-fixed” criteria of the guidance. As a result, the Company was required to separately account for the common share purchase warrants issued in connection with the financing noted above as a derivative instrument liability. (See note 9 – Derivative liability)
 
Common shares – 2015
 
In March 2015, the Company issued 150,000 common shares to the former President of the Company for achieving two of the three milestones outlined in his management agreement (See Note 6 – Commitments and Contingencies). The common shares had a total fair value of $155,428 (Note 7(i)). The fair value was based on the market price on the date of issuance. 
 
Stock options
 
The Company has elected to use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options granted. In accordance with the accounting standard for employees, the compensation expense is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which approximates the vesting period. Compensation expense for stock options granted to non-employees is amortized over the contract services period or, if none exists, from the date of grant until the options vest. Compensation associated with unvested options granted to non-employees is re-measured on each balance sheet date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
 
The following is a summary of stock option activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2015:
 
No stock options expired during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2016.
 
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recognized $3,799 and $11,396 (three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 - $155,203) in stock-based compensation relating to employee stock options that were issued and/or had vesting terms.
 
As at September 30, 2016, the aggregate intrinsic value of the outstanding exercisable options was $171,000 (December 31, 2015 - $Nil).
