Each Unit will be comprised of one common share (the "Common Share") in the capital of the Corporation and one (1) common share purchase warrant (the "Warrant") of the Corporation. Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one additional Common Share at a price of $1.00 for a period of twenty-four (24) months from the closing date (the "Closing Date") of the Offering.
There is an offering document (the "Offering Document") related to the Offering that can be accessed under the Corporation's profile at www.sedar.com and on the Corporation's website at www.xterraresources.com.

The net proceeds from the issuance of the Units will be used for general and administrative purposes and for exploring the Corporation's mining properties located in the provinces of Québec and New Brunswick, with a focus on its lithium properties. Please see the Offering Document for details on the use of proceeds.
The Corporation has not engaged a security dealer in connection with the Offering, however the Corporation may pay finder's fees and issue finder warrants to any registered dealers participating in the Offering consisting of: (i) cash finder's fees of up to 7% of the gross proceeds of the Offering raised through such registered dealers; and (ii) finder warrants in an amount equal to up to 7% of the number of Units issued pursuant to the Offering through such registered dealers, exercisable at a price of $0.75 per common share for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the Closing Date.
The Units being offered under the Offering will be offered to purchasers resident in all provinces and territories of Canada and in certain foreign jurisdictions, pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption under Part 5A of National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions or in Québec pursuant to Regulation 45–106 – Prospectus Exemptions (collectively, "NI 45-106") (the "Listed Issuer Financing Exemption"). The Corporation may issue up to an aggregate of 2,000,000 Units for maximum aggregate gross proceeds of $1,500,000 under the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption.
