Our third summer field program is well-underway and we look forward to having steady news flow over the coming months from the more than 3,300 sq km land package we have assembled in northeastern Kazakhstan. During 2024, we expect to be drill-testing targets at Elemes, Tay as well as on projects within the Arras-Teck Strategic Exploration Alliance. As an early-mover into Kazakhstan approximately three years ago, Arras is well-positioned to continue to rapidly evaluate, advance and test copper-gold targets across the third largest land package assembled for copper exploration in the country."
Arras的總裁Darren Klinck評論道， "我們很高興完成這次增量融資，並表彰並感謝我們的股東（包括Teck）對於支持Arras在哈薩克斯坦的下一階段勘探工作給予的大力支持。我們的第三個夏季野外計劃正在如火如荼地進行中，我們期待在未來幾個月內從我們在哈薩克斯坦東北部組建的3,300平方公里土地包中不斷髮布更多消息。在2024年，我們計劃在Elemes，Tay以及Arras-Teck戰略勘探聯盟的項目上進行鑽探。作爲大約三年前進入哈薩克斯坦的早期參與者，Arras爲在全國範圍內快速評估，推進和測試銅-金目標而保持着良好的地位。"
Each Unit is comprised of one (1) Common Share and one-half of one (1/2) non-transferable Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each whole Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one (1) additional Common Share at a price of C$0.40 for a period of (3) years from the closing of the Offering (the "Expiry Date").
每個Unit包含一（1）個普通股和半（1/2）個不可轉讓的普通股購買權（每個完整購買權稱爲"Warrant"）。每個完整的購買權使持有人有權以C$0.40的價格在該發行後三（3）年的任何一個日子內購買一個（1）份額外的普通股（"Expiry Date"） "。
In the event the volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") meets or exceeds C$0.60 for fifteen (15) consecutive trading days at any time after four months and one day following closing of the Offering, the Company shall have the option, but not the obligation, at any time thereafter to accelerate the Expiry Date to a date that is thirty (30) days following the date of issuance of a news release by the Company announcing the acceleration of the Expiry Date.

Certain insiders have participated in the Offering and thus a portion of the Offering constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). Pursuant to sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, the Company is exempt from obtaining a formal valuation and minority approval of the Company's shareholders as the fair market value of the insider participation is below 25% of the Company's market capitalization as determined in accordance with MI 61-101.
某些內部人士已參與本次配售，因此本次發行的一部分構成《多邊立法工具61-101》所指的"關聯方交易"。根據《多邊立法工具61-101》的第5.5（a）和5.7（1）（a）條的規定，該公司由於內部人員的參與的公平市場價值低於按照《多邊立法工具61-101》的規定確定的公司市值的25％而豁免了獲得公司股東的正式估值和少數派批准。MI 61-101的《保護少數股東特別交易規定》（Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions）規定，在向MCAPM LP發行債券的情況下，公司可以依靠MI 61-101第5.5（a）和5.7（1）（a）條中規定的從正式估值中豁免，並不要求獲得少數股東批准的豁免規定，因爲債券的公允市場價值低於公司市值的25％（在適用MI 61-101的情況下分別確定）。本次配售的淨收益將用於推進哈薩克斯坦東北部的公司項目的勘探活動以及一般企業用途。
The net proceeds of the Offering will be used to advance exploration activities at the Company's projects in northeastern Kazakhstan and for general corporate purposes.
