A cash finder’s fee may be payable on a portion of the placement as permitted under the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange. Finders may also receive warrants (the “Finders Warrants”) entitling them to purchase that number of units which is equal to 10% of the number of FT Units and/or Non-FT Units sold by the Finders. The Finders Warrants will expire twenty-four months after the closing of the offering. The exercise price for the Finders Warrants will be $0.30 per unit with each unit consisting of one common share and one warrant exercisable on the same terms as the FT Warrants.

The placement is to finance exploration programs on Orestone’s B.C. projects and for general working capital.
