The shares-for-debt transactions were entered into for the purpose of assisting MetalCorp in reducing its debts and liabilities at a time when it did not have the cash or other resources to pay such debts and liabilities and thereby assist MetalCorp in reducing its working capital deficiency and enabling it to use its limited cash and other financial resources for ongoing operations and other obligations.

MetalCorp relied on the prospectus exemption provided in the National Instrument 45-106, section 2.14 – Securities for Debt in respect of its issuance of the Common Shares.
