A total of 27,777,777 non-flow through Units (“Units”) were issued at a price of $0.18 per Unit.

The proceeds from the Financing will be used for exploration activities on the Company’s Ontario and Quebec mineral properties, principally aimed at drilling on the Company’s Akasaba project in Val d’Or, Quebec, and for general corporate purposes. Currently, the Company has two drill rigs operating on the Akasaba property with the intention of advancing the project towards a NI 43-101 compliant resource later this year.
Additionally, in connection with the Financing Alexandria has paid Pollitt a financial advisory fee of $59,400 and 330,000 Warrants, where each Warrant is exercisable at $0.22 for a period of one year.
