Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share at an exercise price of $1.12 for a period ranging from 2.15 to 3 years after the date of issuance. The fair value of the warrants at the date of grant of $19,290 was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on the following weighted average assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%; risk free interest rate of 1.14%; expected volatility of 182%; and expected term of 2.85 years. iii) In connection with the unit issuance completed October 22, 2014 in settlement of debt, the Company granted 3,350 share purchase warrants exercisable into one common share at USD$1.50 ($1.97) per share for a period of 2 years from the date of issuance.

For the six month period ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded $Nil, (2015 - $Nil) as compensation expense for warrants issued to a consultant for service, net of a market adjustment for the six months period ended September 30, 2016 of $16,042 (2015 - $Nil). The expense was recorded as professional fees on the statements of operations. ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging indicates that warrants with exercise prices denominated in a currency other than an entitys functional currency should not be classified as equity. As a result, warrants with a USD exercise price have been treated as derivatives and recorded as liabilities carried at their fair value, with period-to-period changes in the fair value recorded as a gain or loss in the statements of operations. The continuity of warrants for the period ended September 30, 2016 is as follows: Number of Warrants Weighted Average Exercise Price Balance, March 31, 2016 709,583 $ 1.06 Exercised (44,500 ) 0.05 Expired, unexercised (305,383 ) 2.22 Balance, September 30, 2016 359,700 $ 0.20 As at September 30, 2016, the fair value of the 337,200 (March 31, 2016 381,700) warrants exercisable in US dollars was $156,000 (March 31, 2016 - $222,803) which was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following weighted average assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0% (March 31, 2016 - 0%); expected volatility of 227% (March 31, 2016 150%); risk-free interest rate of 0.52% (March 31, 2016 0.54%) and expected term of 0.49 years (March 31, 2016 0.99 years). Of this amount, $Nil (March 31, 2016 - $27,479) was reflected as a liability as at September 30, 2016, representing the percentage of the fair value of the warrants that is equal to the percentage of the requisite service that has been rendered at September 30, 2016. The warrant liability is classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy (See Note 10). The Companys computation of expected volatility during the periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 is based on the market close price of comparable public entities over the period equal to the expected life of the warrants. The Companys computation of expected life is calculated using the contractual life. (c) Stock-based compensation The Companys stock-based compensation program (the Plan) includes stock options in which some options vest based on continuous service. For those equity awards that vest based on continuous service, compensation expense is recorded over the service period from the date of grant. The total number of options outstanding as at September 30, 2016 was 930,000 (March 31, 2016 930,000). The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the periods ended September 30, 2016 was $n/a (2015 - $n/a). The maximum number of options that may be issued under the Plan is floating at an amount equivalent to 15% of the issued and outstanding common shares, or 1,513,703 as at September 30, 2016 (March 31, 2016 1,455,158). The activities in options outstanding are as noted below: Number of Options Granted Weighted Average Exercise Price Balance, March 31, 2016 930,000 $ 2.05 Granted - $ - Balance, September 30, 2016 930,000 $ 2.05 The following table presents information relating to stock options outstanding and exercisable at September 30, 2016.
