(TSXV: ZDC) (the "Company") is pleased to announce the closing of its previously announced bought deal private placement offering of common shares (the "Offered Shares") of the Company (the "Offering"). The Company entered into an underwriting and agency agreement (the "Underwriting and Agency Agreement") with Beacon Securities Limited ("Beacon"), as lead underwriter and sole bookrunner, together with Paradigm Capital Inc., Cormark Securities Inc. and Echelon Wealth Partners Inc. (together with Beacon, the "Underwriters"), whereby the Company issued a total of 5,000,000 Offered Shares at an issue price of $1.00 per Offered Share (the "Issue Price") for gross proceeds of $5,000,000 pursuant to Part 5A (the "Listed Issuer Financing Exemption") of National Instrument 45-106 - Prospectus Exemptions ("NI 45-106"), which included 1,000,000 Offered Shares issued pursuant to the exercise in full of the option granted to the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting and Agency Agreement.
Concurrent with the closing of the Offering, the Company and the Underwriters completed a brokered private placement, on a commercially reasonable "best efforts" agency basis, of 10,000,000 common shares (the "Private Placement Shares") at the Issue Price to certain purchasers pursuant to applicable exemptions under NI 45-106, for gross proceeds of $10,000,000 (the "Concurrent Private Placement").
As a result of the completion of the Offering and Concurrent Private Placement, the Company has raised aggregate gross proceeds of $15,000,000.

In consideration for the services rendered by the Underwriters in connection with the Offering and Concurrent Private Placement, the Company has paid the Underwriters a cash fee equal to 7.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering and Concurrent Private Placement.
The Private Placement Shares issued under the Concurrent Private Placement are subject to a four-month hold period in Canada. The Offered Shares issued under the Offering are not subject to a hold period pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws as the Offering was completed pursuant to the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption.
