The private placement will consist of the issuance of units (each, a "Unit" and collectively, the "Units") at a price of $0.18 per Unit, where each Unit consists of one common share, and one-half of a common share purchase warrant, with each whole warrant entitling the holder to purchase one common share over a one-year period at a price of $0.25 per common share. In the event that the common shares close at a price in excess of $0.70 for 20 consecutive trading days, Brigadier may reduce the exercise period to 30 days after giving notice of same.

The Property

INCAMAYO is a "high sulphidation Au-Cu" prospect that forms the south easterly part of the Argentine epithermal precious metal-tin systems. Mineralization appears structurally controlled in vein and stockwork systems trending northeast. It is located at approximately 3500 metres elevation in the Salta Province of north western Argentina and can be easily accessed by road. Past trenching, sampling and drilling have identified significant Au and Cu mineralization associated with an alteration zone that extends for several kilometres. The alteration zone is quite evident from satellite imagery.

The best intersection from a total nine shallow RC holes is 150 metres grading 0.68% Cu, 6.0 gpt Ag and 0.61 gpt Au (includes 57 metres of 1.01% Cu, 10.1 gpt Ag and 1.06 gpt Au). Results of up to 9.55 gpt Au, 6.98% Cu, and 75.8 gpt Ag were obtained from separate intersections. Best result from trenches is 72 metres grading 1.40 gpt Au (includes 18 metres of 5 gpt Au). Up to 876.6 gpt Au over 2 metres was obtained from trenching. Surface grab samples yielded up to 14.06 gpt Au and 157 gpt Ag in separate samples. Surface oxidation and leaching is apparent. The prospect is hosted in hydrothermally altered metasedimentary rocks.

Historic work includes a single diamond drill hole for 303 metres, 9 RC holes totalling 2413 metres, 21 trenched for an aggregate of 5067 metres, and surface grab sampling and mapping. No geophysical methods have been applied to the prospect. The work was concentrated over a 2 kilometre area of the 8 kilometre striking alteration zone. Highlights from the historic work include the following.
