ERONGO WESTERN GOLD PROJECT

In late 2019, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire a 75% interest in a private company, the sole asset of which is the EPL 5455 in Namibia. EPL 5455 is located west of the town Usakos in the Erongo region of central Namibia. Antler has the right to acquire a 75% interest in the private company by paying the vendor, whose shareholders are arm's length parties to Antler, a nonrefundable cash deposit of $10,000 and a further cash payment of $40,000 upon signing of the agreement. Further amounts to be paid pursuant to the purchase agreement are cash payments of $50,000 on December 16, 2020, which was paid during the year ended December 31, 2020, and $75,000 on December 16, 2021, along with the issuance of $25,000 worth of common shares of Antler based on the 10-day volume weighted average price per common share immediately prior to December 16, 2021. In addition to the cash and share consideration above, Antler must also incur exploration expenses of $75,000 within 12 months and an additional $125,000 within 24 months. The Company has the right to accelerate the payment of cash and share consideration and the timeline for incurring exploration expenditures. Once Antler acquires the 75% interest in the private company, it has the right to purchase the remaining 25% minority interest at the fair market value determined by a professional business valuator selected by Antler. If Antler does not exercise its 5 right to purchase the minority interest, all shareholders will contribute on a pro-rata basis to fund the company's activities, including exploration expenditures. Should the minority shareholder elect not to fund its portion of exploration expenditures and be diluted below 10%, then their interest will automatically convert to a free carried 5% interest in EPL 5455 which Antler can purchase at a price to be determined by a professional selected by Antler using international best practices for evaluating mining assets. If within three years from the date of the EPL 5455 agreement, any vendor shareholder stakes or acquires an interest in any EPL in Namibia, then such additional interest must be offered in writing to Antler for an amount to be mutually agreed upon. The vendor has performed past work exploring for graphite on a portion of the EPL 5455 and should a transaction be made to sell or joint venture the graphite area, the vendor shareholders will retain 90% of the proceeds and Antler is entitled to 10%.
