Under the exploration agreement Bold and KLFN have agreed to terms that underline each party's mutual respect for the land and a responsible approach to exploring in KLFN traditional territory. The agreement remains in effect during the initial program and for up to three years or until both parties endorse an Advanced Exploration Agreement or the Company gives notice that they terminate the arrangement.
The Company will contribute toward the KLFN Community in amounts based on a percentage of its exploration expenditures on the mining claims within the traditional lands of the KLFN. Bold will, subject to all regulatory approvals, issue warrants to purchase common shares of the Company to KLFN at the greater of 13 cents or the market price on the day before announcing the agreement. The warrants will be exercisable for 3 years.
