Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Antler may acquire a 100% interest in EPL 7261 by paying the vendor, who is an arm's length party, a cash payment of C$7,000, issuing 20,000 common shares of Antler and C$5,000 of common shares of Antler based on the 10-day volume weighted average price per common share immediately prior to the date of the Purchase Agreement. Antler must also spend C$75,000 worth of exploration expenses on or before February 23, 2021.
The Purchase Agreement is subject to a 14-day due diligence period and is conditional upon TSX Venture Exchange approval.
