How to Exercise Warrants

Warrant holders who wish to exercise their Warrants should instruct their investment advisor for an "immediate exercise" and be prepared to provide payment (by certified cheque, bank draft or money order) to their advisor firm equal to the exercise price for each warrant exercised. Once the Company receives payment and required documentation the Warrants will be cancelled and the warrant holder will receive Prophecy common shares.

Investors should consult with their investment advisor to confirm the time required to complete this process and other costs associated with the exercise, if any.

Warrant holders who hold a physical certificate wishing to exercise warrants need to provide the Company with a certified cheque, bank draft or money order payable to Prophecy Resource Corp., an exercise form and warrant certificate. For assistance, contact the Company directly.
