Each Unit will be comprised of one common share of the Company and one-half of one common share purchase warrant of the Company (each whole warrant, a "Warrant").

The net proceeds from the Private Placement will be used to facilitate the acquisition by Rye Patch of Centerra Gold (U.S.) Inc.'s 64% interest in the Ren project, to commence a drilling exploration program on the project, as well as for general working capital.
The Private Placement is subject to Exchange approval.
