Each Unit consists of one common share (a ‘Common Share’) of First Cobalt and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole common share purchase warrant a ‘Warrant’) of First Cobalt. Each Flow-Through Unit consists of one common share of the company qualifying as a ‘flow-through share’ (a “Flow-Through Share”) of First Cobalt and one-half of one Warrant. Each full Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one common share of the company at a price of CAN$1.50 per Common Share, for a period of 24 months following the closing date.

The company has agreed to grant to the underwriters an option to sell up to an additional 4 550 000 units of the company on the same terms and conditions as the offering, exercisable at any time up to 48 hours prior to the closing of the Underwritten Offering. The net proceeds of the offering will be used to advance the exploration and development of the company’s mineral properties located in Ontario, Canada, growth opportunities and working capital and general corporate purposes.

Specifically, all proceeds from the sale of the flow-through shares will be used to incur eligible Canadian Exploration Expenses as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) related the company's projects in Ontario, Canada.

The units and the flow-through units will be issued on a private placement basis in certain provinces of Canada, in each case, pursuant to applicable exemptions from the prospectus requirements under applicable securities laws.

The offering and the FT offering are scheduled to close on or about 21 December 2017 and are subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory and other approvals including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and the securities regulatory authorities.
