The offering is not subject to a minimum amount, with a maximum of 8,333,334 shares for gross proceeds of $250,000

The aggregate price for the licenses taken from GemRock plus a related non-competition agreement to protect Fura's exploration in Russia, Brazil and Mozambique are US$3.8 million and US$3.5 million respectively
