Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

We entered into debt settlement and subscription agreements with four creditors and we issued units to three creditors and special warrants to one creditor in settlement of debt in an aggregate of US$3,869,961.65 (principal of US$3,800,000 and accrued and unpaid interest of US$69,961.65) owing the creditors in connection with certain convertible notes. 

Effective as of July 25, 2022, we issued an aggregate of 9,633,616 units of our company at a deemed price of US$0.37 per unit to three creditors.  Each unit was comprised of one share of common stock and one warrant.  Each warrant entitled the holder to purchase an additional share of our common stock at a price of US$0.44 per share for a period of three years. As a condition of the debt settlement, each of the creditors who has received the units has agreed to immediately exercise the creditor's respective warrants. Accordingly, the creditors exercised warrants for an aggregate of US$4,238,791.04 resulting in an aggregate of an additional 9,633,616 shares of our common stock being issued to such creditors. 

Effective as of July 25, 2022, we issued 825,738 special warrants at a deemed price of US$0.37 per special warrant to one creditor.  Each special warrant is automatically exercisable (without payment of any further consideration and subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments) into units on the date that is the earlier of: (i) the date that is three business days following the date on which our company obtains a receipt from the British Columbia Securities Commission for a (final) short form prospectus qualifying the distribution of the units issuable upon exercise of the special warrants, and (ii) the date that is four months and one day after the issuance of the special warrants. Each unit will be comprised of one share of common stock and one warrant. Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase an additional share of our common stock at a price of US$0.44 per share. As consideration for the debt settlement and the issuance of the special warrants, the creditor agreed to exercise the warrants immediately upon automatic exercise of the special warrants.

We issued the securities to four non-U.S. persons (as that term is defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) in an offshore transaction in which we relied on the exemptions from the registration requirements provided for in Regulation S and/or Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
