Each unit will consist of one common share and one-half of one non-transferable share purchase warrant. Each whole share purchase warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at a price of $0.75 per share for 18 months, subject to accelerated expiry, such expiry being accelerated to 30 days in the event the Company's shares have closed at or above a price of $1.00 per share for 10 consecutive trading days.

The funds from the private placement will allow the Company to increase its 2010 drill program from a minimum of 12,000 metres to a maximum of 28,000 metres. The balance of the funds will be used for the ongoing development work on the Nixon Fork Gold Mine in Alaska and general working capital.
