The Shares issued pursuant to the Private Placement will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus one day from the date of issuance, in accordance with applicable securities legislation.
The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Private Placement for mineral exploration and related expenditures on FireFox's Mustajärvi, Jeesiö, and Sarvi projects in northern Finland and general working capital.
