Freyja may engage finders or agents to act as agents of Freyja in connection with the Offering, and in connection therewith may pay finders and agents a cash commission of up to 8% of the proceeds of the Offering that result from such parties efforts, subject to compliance with applicable securities laws. The finders and agents may also be granted warrants to purchase up to 8% of the number of Units sold under the Offering, with each warrant entitling the holder to purchase one Unit at a price of $0.17 per Unit for a period of eighteen months from the closing of the Offering.
The net proceeds made available through the sale of the Units will be used by the Corporation to pay for the costs of the Offering, development of the Corporation’s Las Cristinas mining project in Mexico and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
Both the Share Exchange and the Offering are subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. Pursuant to applicable securities laws, all securities issued pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months following the closing of the Offering.
Upon closing of the Share Exchange, the Corporation will issue 480,000 units of the Corporation with the same terms as the Units, as payment of a finder’s fee to Jordan Capital Markets Inc. of Vancouver, BC.

About GRIT
GRIT is a new investment trust established based in London, England which seeks to exploit investment opportunities in the junior mining and natural resource sectors. GRIT’s investment objective is to generate medium and long-term capital growth through investing in a diverse portfolio of primarily small and mid-capitalisation natural resources and mining companies, which are listed/quoted on an exchange.
Concurrent with the closing of the share exchange with Freyja, GRIT is conducting a number of share exchanges pursuant to which GRIT shall acquire shares of various investee companies in return for the issue of GRIT ordinary shares.
GRIT’s mandate is to invest in companies globally which have a significant focus on natural resources and mining. GRIT will invest in companies that are in the field of the exploration and production of oil, gas, precious and industrial metals, and industrial and commercial minerals which, in GRIT’s investment manager’s opinion, have the potential to increase their value considerably. These companies may be producing companies with an historical track record of production or they may be development companies or companies with exploration potential. GRIT will seek to ensure, through active shareholder involvement, that investee companies act to maximise long-term shareholder value. GRIT will invest primarily in companies with shares and securities which are listed, quoted or are admitted to dealing, on a stock exchange (including debt securities which are convertible into quoted equity securities).
