Under this second tranche, the Company has issued 200 Units (the "Units") for gross proceeds of US$200,000. Combined with a first tranche of 487 Units which closed on August 1, 2023 (see the Company's news release dated August 4, 2023), the Company has issued an aggregate of 687 Units for gross proceeds of US$687,000.
Each Unit is comprised of: (i) US$1,000 principal amount of 10% secured convertible debentures (the "Debentures") issued by the Company with a maturity date ("Maturity Date") of 2 years from the date of issuance; and (ii) 5,416 common share purchase warrants of the Company (each, a "Warrant").

The Debentures will mature on the date that is two (2) years from the date of issuance (the "Maturity Date"). All interest accrued on the Convertible Debentures will be payable in cash only.
The principal amount of the Debentures are convertible into Shares, at the holder's option, at a price of (i) C$0.08 per Common Share upon issuance and 12 months thereafter; and (ii) at C$0.10 per Common Share between 12 months and one day to the Maturity Date (the "Conversion Price"), at any time prior to the Maturity Date. The Debentures carry a fixed foreign exchange rate of C$1.30 for each US$1 of principal for conversion purposes only.
Each Warrant is exercisable to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.12 per share for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance.
