The Offering will consist of up to $1,250,000 in flow-through units (the "FT Units") at a price of $0.13 per FT Unit and up to $250,000 in non flow-through units (the "Normal Units") at a price of $0.105 per Normal Unit. Each FT Unit will consist of one flow-through common share and one half of one non-transferable common share purchase warrant (the "Warrant"). Each Normal Unit will consist of one common share and one half of one non-transferable common share purchase warrant (the "Warrant"). Each whole Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase an additional common share of Thundermin at a price of $0.20 per share for a period of 18 months from the date of closing of the Offering. Each Warrant will be subject to an early call provision. In the event that Thundermin's shares trade at a weighted average price of $0.40 or more per share for a period of at least 20 consecutive trading days, Thundermin will have the right, upon giving notice in writing to the Warrant holders, to accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants to the date that is 30 days from the date that notice was provided.
Thundermin will pay a cash commission of 6% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the FT Units and the Normal Units to finders (the "Finders") on that portion of the Offering that is arranged by the Finders. On the closing of the Offering, the Finders will also be granted finders options (the "Finders Options") equal in number to 6% of the aggregate number of FT Units and Normal Units sold on that portion of the Offering arranged by the Finders. The Finders Options may be exercised at a price of $0.13 per common share at any time for a period of 18 months from the closing of the Offering.
The proceeds of the Offering will be used to fund Thundermin's exploration projects in Canada that qualify as "Canadian exploration expenses" under the Income Tax Act (Canada) and for general working capital purposes. In particular, the funds raised from the FT Units will be used to fund diamond drilling programs on the Little Deer and Whalesback Copper Deposits located approximately 10 km north of Springdale in north-central Newfoundland, for an initial diamond drilling program on Thundermin's Lebel gold property located in Kirkland Lake and for additional geophysical surveys and diamond drilling on Thundermin's Stirling zinc-lead-copper-silver-gold project on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia.
