The Company plans to use the net proceeds of the Public Offering and the Private Placement as follows: C$57 million for debt repayment, C$15 million for exploration and C$16 million for capital expenditures. The capital expenditures are planned to consist of C$8 million for processing plant improvements, C$6 million for underground equipment and C$2 million for materials to construct a fifth diesel tank at Roberts Bay.
