8.    STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

Stock Options

On July 15, 2014, the shareholders approved and adopted at the Annual General Meeting the Company's 2014 Stock Option Plan.  On April 14, 2011, the shareholders approved and adopted at the Annual General Meeting to consolidate the Company's 2007 Equity compensation plan and the Company's 2010 Equity Compensation Plan into a new Company 2011 Stock Option Plan.  The purpose of these Plans is to advance the interests of the Corporation, through the grant of Options, by providing an incentive mechanism to foster the interest of eligible persons in the success of the Corporation and its affiliates; encouraging eligible persons to remain with the Corporation or its affiliates; and attracting new Directors, Officers, Employees and Consultants.

On November 12, 2020, the Company issued 500,000 stock options to one of the consultants of the Company with an exercise price of $0.05 vested immediately, expiring November 12, 2025.

The fair value of the options granted was estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes options pricing model, with the following weighted average assumptions:

 

Expected dividend yield0.00% 
Expected stock volatility149% 
Risk-free interest rate0.40% 
Expected life of options (years)5.00 
Expected forfeiture rate0.00% 
Grant date fair value per option$0.03 

 

During the three-month period ended November 30, 2020, the Company recorded $15,450 (November 30, 2019 - $Nil) as stock based compensation expenses and a total of 1,100,000 stock options expired without being exercised (November 30, 2019 - 1,000,000).

 

A summary of the changes in stock options for the three months ended November 30, 2020 is presented below:
