The offering consists of an aggregate of 1,000,000 units (the "Units") of the Issuer

The "Purchased Securities" are Units. Each Unit consists of one  previously unissued common share, as presently constituted (a "Share")  and one-half of one non-transferable share purchase warrant (a "Warrant")  of the Issuer. One whole Warrant will entitle the holder, on exercise, to  purchase one additional common share of the Issuer (a "Warrant Share")  for a period of 12 months from the date of issuance of the Unit, at a price of CAD 0.80 per Warrant Share.
   
Compensation to Agent 
The Agent will receive a commission of 8% of the gross proceeds received from the sale of the Units payable as to one-half in cash and as to the other one-half in Units ("Agent's Units"). The Agent's Units shall consist of one Share and one-half of one Warrant. One whole Warrant will entitle the holder, on exercise, to purchase one Warrant Share at a price of CAD 0.80 per share at any time until the close of business on the day which is 12 months from the date of issue of the Agent's Unit.
   
 
The Agent will also receive Agent's Warrants which shall entitle the Agent to purchase shares equal in number to 20% of the total number of Units sold. Each Agent's Warrant shall entitle the holder to purchase one additional share of the Issuer at a price of CAD 0.80 per share for a period of 12 months from the date of issue. The Agent will also receive an administration fee of CAD 5,000.
