Mr. Sprott is an insider and control person of the Company and as such, his participation in connection with the Private Placement is a related-party transaction under the policies of the TSXV and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 — Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Company is relying on exemptions from the minority shareholder approval and formal valuation requirements applicable to the related-party transactions under sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a), respectively, of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the shares purchased on behalf of Mr. Sprott nor the consideration paid by him exceeds 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.
