The Company plans to use the proceeds from the LIFE Units to further the exploration and development of its Alotta Property and for general expenses and working capital.

("Aion"). If the Aion common share acquisition is completed as contemplated, the Company will increase its aggregate interest in Aion to a total 40% interest.
