The initial closing of the offering is expected to occur on September 29, 2016.
National Class
The investment objectives of the National Class portfolio are to preserve capital; achieve capital appreciation; and to provide holders of National Class units with a tax-assisted investment in a diversified portfolio of flow-through shares issued by resource issuers engaged in mineral exploration and development in Canada that will incur “Canadian exploration expenses” (“CEE”).
Investors in National Class units are expected to receive tax deductions for 2016 of up to approximately 100% of the amount invested plus potential further reductions in tax otherwise payable by the federal investment tax credit, based on and subject to certain conditions as set forth in the Prospectus.
Québec Class
The investment objectives of the Québec Class portfolio are to preserve capital; achieve capital appreciation; and to provide holders of Québec Class units with a tax-assisted investment in a diversified portfolio of flow-through shares issued by resource issuers engaged in mineral exploration and development primarily in the Province of Québec that will incur CEE.
Investors in Québec Class units are expected to receive tax deductions for 2016 of up to approximately 120% of the amount invested plus potential further reductions in tax otherwise payable by the federal investment tax credit, based on and subject to certain conditions as set forth in the Prospectus.
Each portfolio’s investment strategy is to invest in flow-through shares that: (a) represent good value in relation to the market price and intrinsic value of the shares of a resource issuer; (b) are issued by resource issuers that have experienced and capable senior management; (c) have a strong exploration or development program; and (d) offer potential for future growth.
Mutual Fund Rollover Transaction
On or before September 30, 2017, and in any case no later than August 15, 2018, the General Partner intends to transfer the assets in the National Class portfolio and the Québec Class portfolio to the Mutual Fund (as defined in the Prospectus) in exchange for shares of the Mutual Fund.
