As per the terms of the CSPA, the private Indonesian company will pay the Company a total of US$1,000,000 (equivalent to approximately $1,300,000 Canadian dollars). Closing of the transaction is subject to final due diligence by the private Indonesian company, shareholder approval at a special general meeting (date to be announced soon), a number of regulatory approvals in Indonesia and TSX Venture Exchange approval. The transaction is expected to close during the second calendar quarter of 2017. The proceeds will be used to finance the previously announced Lithium projects and to review other opportunities in technology metals. A finders’ fee of $100,000 is to be paid to an arm’s length company in association with the transaction.

Each unit will consist of one common share of the Company and one non-transferable share purchase warrant. Each whole share purchase warrant shall be exercisable to acquire one additional common share of the Company for a period of 24 months at a post consolidated (1 for 5) price of $0.15 per share purchase warrant.
