Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share at a price of $0.10 per common share for a period of thirty-six (36) months ending September 11, 2020. In aggregate of both tranches of the financing the raised gross proceeds of $625,034.94. The second tranche of the Private Placement aggregates. In the second tranche, insiders subscribed for 200,000 non-flow through units. The securities issued under this Private Placement are subject to a statutory four (4) month hold period ending January 12, 2017.

The net proceeds of the Private Placement will be used to fund the Company's precious metals exploration projects (Chateau Fort, Richardson, Bullion, Atlas Apollo, Berthiaume and Admiral) and for general working capital purposes. The Private Placement has been conditionally accepted by the TSX Venture Exchange. No finder's fee has been paid for this tranche of the Private Placement.

Exploration work

Following the closing of the first tranche of the released July 26 Private Placement, Tarku has started exploration work on his 100% owned Richardson and Bullion projects in Chibougamau area. Completed works included geological survey and prospecting with a Beep Mat device as well as a ground geophysical survey.

The prospection work and geological survey on the Richardson project outline the extension of the felsic tuff horizon which host the gold showing discovered by Eureka in 2016 (1.7 g/t Au; grab sample) over 1.4 km.

Magnetic and electromagnetic surveys were also completed at the end of August and covered 8.4 km on the Richardson project and 9.1 km on the Bullion project. The electromagnetic survey enables the identification of strong conductors on the Bullion project over a distance of 1 kilometer along the horizon that contains the historic gold value intercepted by drilling in 1984 (2 g/t Au over 2 m; drill hole T-1). A second area with strong conductors has also been identified 1.2 km east of the gold intercept. Isolated anomalies are also present on the Richardson project.

Ground follow-up of these geophysical conductors are planned over the next weeks by conducting prospection and stripping works. A first stripping zone will be centered on the Eureka gold showing on the Richardson project. A second stripping will target the surface expression of the drilled intersected gold value along the identified strong geophysical conductor of the Bullion project. Both projects show a potential to contain Au-Ag-Cu-Zn mineralization associated with disseminated or massive sulphides.

Tarku also planned to complete a till survey and prospection work on their Apollo (Au) and Atlas (Au-Ag-Cu-Zn) projects located in Matagami area.
