The share issuance will occur in stages, with 1.25 million shares within ten business days of executing the agreement, an additional 1.5 million shares on or before the first anniversary and a further 1.75 million shares on or before the second anniversary.  

All shares issued will be contingent upon a four-month hold period in compliance with applicable securities laws. 

In addition to the share issuance, New Earth Resources will grant Northex a 2% net smelter returns royalty on the Red Wine rare earth project.
