Note 7 – Stock Options

 

On May 26, 2022, the Company granted 3,700,000 stock options with an exercise price of $0.22, a term of 5 years and vesting immediately. These options were vested on the date of grant and resulted in stock-based compensation of $696,397. Of the options granted, 1,600,000 were granted to 4 related parties including officers and directors and 2,100,000 were granted to 15 consultants of the Company. Due to the continuing decline of the company’s share price these options were repriced to $0.10 on January 24th 2023 (resulting in a stock based compensation expense of $69,337), and again to $0.04 on Jan 11th 2024 (resulting in a stock based compensation expense of $34,827). 500,000 options were also granted to a consultant of the company priced at $0.04 in January 2024. In September of 2024 100,000 stock options were cancelled, as were a further 600,000 in November of 2025. As of June 30, 2026 no stock options have been exercised, and none have been exercised up to and including the date of this document.
