period, the Common Shares of the Company trade at $0.55 per share or higher on
the TSX Venture Exchange, on a volume weighted adjusted basis for a period of 30
days, the Company will have the right to accelerate the expiry date of the
Warrants to the date that is 30 days after the Company issues a news release
announcing that it has elected to exercise the acceleration right.


The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to continue the
development of its Atacama Copper property and the Pampas El Penon properties
located in the Antofagasta region of northern Chile, and for general corporate
purposes. 


The Company may, subject to additional interest received, increase the size of
the private placement to include other existing and new accredited investors.
The Company may pay finder's fees in accordance with the rules and policies of
the TSX Venture Exchange consisting of a cash commission equal to 6% of the
gross proceeds raised under the Offering and finder's warrants ("Finder's
Warrants") in an amount equal to 6% of the total number of Units sold pursuant
to the Offering. Each Finder's Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to
purchase one Common Share of the Company at a price of $0.25 per Unit for a
period of 18 months following the date of issuance. 


The Common Shares, Warrants, the Finder's Warrants and shares underlying the
Warrants and the Finder's Warrants will be subject to a four month and one day
statutory hold period. Closing of the private placement transaction remains
subject to the receipt of all regulatory approvals, including the approval of
the TSX Venture Exchange.
