(a)signing and filling out the exercise form on the front of this Warrant Certificate ; and

 

(b)delivering this Warrant Certificate to the Secretary of the Corporation, at the head office at 1055 West Georgia Street, 1500 Royal Centre, Vancouver, BC, V6E 4N7, accompanied by a wire transfer in the name of the Corporation, in Canadian dollars, for the applicable exercise price for the subscribed Common Shares.

 

Upon delivery and payment as mentioned above, the registered holder, shall be deemed, for all purposes, the registered holder of the number of Common Shares of the Corporation that must be issued to such holder: (i) shall have the right to receive one or more share certificates (or DRS advices) representing these Common Shares; and (ii) the Corporation shall cause the share certificate(s) (or DRS advices) to be mailed to the registered holder at the address indicated in the exercise form within ten days of the delivery and of the payment. The registered holder of the Warrant Certificate may subscribe or purchase any number of whole Common Shares lower than the number of Common Shares that it may purchase pursuant to the terms of this Warrant Certificate; in that case, it has the right to receive a new certificate for the remainder of the warrants that were not exercised at the time of this exercise and purchase. The possession of this Warrant Certificate shall not make its holder a shareholder of the Corporation and shall not grant any right or interest with regards to this Warrant Certificate, except as expressly provided herein.

 

2. Alternative exercise for unit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Warrant Certificate, in the event that the Corporation either (a) completes a financing or series of financings or enters into a royalty streaming agreement to raise aggregate gross proceeds of not less than US$5,000,000 at any time between May 1, 2024 and a Listing Event, or (b) completes a Listing Event where the market value of the Corporation (or any successor entity) at the time of the Listing Event is not less than US$100,000,000, then upon valid exercise or partial exercise of this Warrant Certificate in accordance with Paragraph 1(a) hereof, in lieu of each Common Share the subscriber would have otherwise received, the subscriber shall receive a unit (a “Unit”) consisting of one Common Share and one additional warrant (an “Underlying Warrant”) to purchase one additional Common Share (an “Underlying Share”) at a price of $0.20 per share for a period of 36 months from the date of the Listing Event.

 

3.Transfer Prohibited. This Warrant Certificate is non-assignable and non-transferable by the holder, without the prior written approval of the Corporation.

 

The holder of this Warrant Certificate may, at any time before its expiration date and upon delivery of this Warrant Certificate to the Corporation’s Secretary at its head office, exchange this Warrant Certificate for certificates of any other denomination, attesting the same total number of warrants as those attested in this Warrant Certificate.

 

4. Replacement of certificates. Upon receipt of reasonably satisfactory evidence for the Corporation of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant Certificate and, in case of such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of an indemnification agreement in a form and amount reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation or, in case of such mutilation, upon delivery and cancellation of this Warrant Certificate, the Corporation, at its expense, shall execute and deliver a new replacement certificate of the same content and denomination.

 

5. Adjustment of the exercise price and the shares that may be issued at the time of the exercise. At any time after the date hereof, if the Corporation splits or consolidates its issued Common Shares, the exercise price and the number of Common Shares or Units, as applicable, that may be purchased under this Warrant Certificate for every warrant shall be adjusted accordingly.

 

In the event of a reclassification or modification of the Common Shares which have been issued (other than a split or consolidation) after the date hereof, or in the event of a consolidation or a merger of the Corporation with another corporation (other than a merger with a subsidiary resulting in the continuation of the Corporation following such merger and does not cause a reclassification or modification of the issued Common Shares) after the date hereof, or in the event of a sale or transfer to another corporation, after the date hereof, of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets, the holder of this Warrant Certificate shall thus have the right to purchase and receive, instead of the Common Shares or Units, as applicable, which it had the right to purchase and receive immediately before exercising this Warrant Certificate, the type and the number of shares, other securities and property likely to be received following such reclassification, modification, consolidation, merger, sale or transfer, that the holder of a number of Common Shares or Units, as applicable, equal to the number of Common Shares or Units, as applicable, that may be purchased and received immediately before exercising this warrant and would have received following such reclassification, modification, consolidation, merger, sale or transfer. The provisions of this Section 4 apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales or transfers.

 

The Corporation shall not be obliged to issue fractions of Common Shares or Units in order to satisfy its obligations herein. In lieu of any fractional entitlement the number of Common Shares or Units issuable to the holder shall be rounded down to the next whole number of Common Shares or Units, as applicable.

 

In the event that at any time after the date hereof the Corporation distributes shares of any category of the Corporation or the Corporation’s property to the holders of Common Shares (except a share dividend instead of a cash dividend paid in the normal course of business), the registered holder of this Warrant Certificate shall have the right, after the warrants are exercised, to receive, with the Common Shares resulting from the exercise of the warrants without additional payment, the number of shares or property that the registered holder would have received if it would have been the owner of the Common Shares resulting from the exercise at the moment of the distribution of shares or property.
