The Offering will be led by PI Financial Corp. lead agent on behalf of a syndicate of agents (collectively, the "Agents").
The Offering is expected to be conducted in each of the Provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia by way of prospectus supplement (the "Prospectus Supplement") to the Company's short form base shelf prospectus dated October 30, 2020 (the " Base Shelf Prospectus").

In connection with the Offering, the Company intends to enter into an agency agreement with the Agents (the "Agency Agreement"). The Agency Agreement will provide that the Company will grant the Agents an option (the "Over-Allotment Option") to purchase up to a number of additional Common Shares equal to 15% of the Common Shares sold pursuant to the Offering, exercisable in whole or in part at any time on or prior to the 30th day following closing of the Offering. Until such time as the Agency Agreement is entered into, the Agents are under no obligation to sell any of the Common Shares.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for royalty acquisitions, working capital and for general corporate purposes.
The Offering is expected to close on or about November 20, 2020, or such other date as may be mutually agreed to by the Company and the Agents, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals, including the conditional approval of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV").
