The Properties represent all of Mr. Ryan’s precious metal interests located in the White Gold District of the Yukon Territory that are not in a current joint venture with third parties. The Properties range from grass roots targets, where ridge and spur soil geochemical sampling has identified targets for more detailed follow up exploration, to more advanced exploration targets where grid soil geochemical sampling, mapping, geophysical surveys and very limited drilling campaigns have been conducted. In total over $25 million has been previously spent exploring the 21 Properties.

G4G and the Vendors have entered into a definitive option agreement (the “Option Agreement”) dated October 27, 2016 (the “Effective Date”) which supersedes and replaces the letter agreement which was originally signed to set forth the basic terms and conditions of the Option.

Each Unit consists of one Common Share and one share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”), with each Warrant entitling the holder to acquire one additional Common Share at an exercise price of C$0.27 for a Common Share for a period of three years from the Effective Date.
Proceeds from the Private Placement will be used to partially finance the exercise of the Option, to finance the exploration of the Properties, and for general corporate purposes.
