Derivative liability a) On August 30, 2017, the Company completed a non-brokered private placement of 132,043 units for cash proceeds of $126,000. Each unit consisted of one “A” share purchase warrant and one “B” share purchase warrant. Each “A” warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company for a period of three years from closing at a price of $3.00 per warrant. Each “B” warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company for a period of three years from closing at a price of $6.00. The warrant agreement provides an anti-dilution clause for each of the A and B warrants that, upon exercise of the warrants, will cause the Company to issue additional warrants sufficient to entitle the warrant holder to acquire 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company. Such right is limited to one exercise of either of the A and B warrants and all of the A warrants must be exercised prior to exercising any of the class B warrants. The anti-dilution right for the A and B share purchase warrants was valued at $126,000 as at November 30, 2017 as the acquisition price approximated fair value due to the recency of the transaction. During the year ended November 30, 2018, certain A warrants were exercised causing the rights to expire resulting in a decrease to the liability. As at November 30, 2019, the rights attached to the B warrants were valued at $1,102,277 (2018 - $100,912) resulting in a derivative loss of $1,001,365 for the year ended November 30, 2019 (2018 - gain of $25,088). The following weighted average assumptions were used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for the revaluation of the derivative liability as at November 30, 2019 and November 30, 2018 2019 2018 Risk-free interest rate 1.70% 2.16% Dividend yield Nil Nil Expected life 0.75 year 1.75 years Volatility 106% 114% Probability of exercise 75% 20% b) Due to the Company changing its functional currency from the CAD to the USD during the year ended November 30, 2018, a derivative liability occurred on the date of change on the Company’s previously issued share purchase warrants with CAD exercise prices. During the year ended November 30, 2019, the share purchase warrants with a CAD exercise price was repriced to USD resulting in the elimination of the derivative liability. On initial recognition, the Company recorded a loss of $1,557,086 to set up the derivative liability. As at November 30, 2018, the Company revalued the derivative liability to $551,846 and recorded a gain of $1,005,240. As at November 30, 2019, the Company revalued the derivative liability to $nil and recorded a gain of $551,846.
