The second tranche consisted of 2,070,000 units of the Company (the "Units") at a price of $0.15 per Unit for gross aggregate proceeds of $310,500.

Peter Miles, Sanatana's CEO commented, "We are mobilizing to Bell 2 Lodge today in preparation for our upcoming 2022 exploration and drilling program. Exploration including geophysics will begin shortly and drilling is expected to begin around July 1, 2022. With the second tranche closing, we will have approximately $4.2 million in cash and prepaid exploration expenses on hand as we begin our 2022 field season. We look forward to commencing our initial drill program at Oweegee."

Each Unit issued in the second tranche consisted of one common share of the Company (each, a "Common Share") and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"), with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to acquire one common share of the Company (a "Warrant Share") at a price of $0.20 for a period of two years following the closing of the second tranche of the Private Placement.
