Each Unit will consist of one (1) common share of the Company (a "Share") and one-half of one (1/2) common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"), each Warrant to entitle the holder thereof to acquire one additional common share in the capital of the Company (a "Warrant Share") at a price of $0.20 per Warrant Share at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on the date that is 24 months following the closing date.

The Financing is being amended to now contemplate the issuance up to 15,000,000 Units at a price of CAD $0.10 per Unit, for aggregate proceeds of up to CAD $1,500,000.

The proceeds from the Financing will be used for additional work programs on the Company's Niñobamba advanced silver gold project and for general working capital.
