CUSIP No.            984238113

THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT ___________________ (hereinafter referred to as the
"HOLDER") is the registered holder of the number of warrants ("WARRANTS") to
receive common shares ("SHARES") of YM BIOSCIENCES INC. (the "CORPORATION") as
set forth in this certificate ("WARRANT CERTIFICATE"). Each whole Warrant
represented hereby entitles the holder to purchase one fully paid and
non-assessable Share of the Corporation, without nominal or par value, as such
shares were constituted on [SEPTEMBER 30], 2004, in the manner and subject to
the restrictions and adjustments set forth herein, at any time and from time to
time until 5:00 p.m. (Toronto Time) (the "TIME OF EXPIRY") on [SEPTEMBER 30],
2007 (the "EXPIRY DATE") at a price of Cdn. $3.75 per share, subject to
adjustment in accordance with the Indenture (as defined below).

The right to acquire Shares hereunder may only be exercised by the holder within
the time set forth above by:

            (a)   duly completing and executing the Exercise Form attached
                  hereto and also available upon request from CIBC Mellon Trust
                  Company (the "Trustee") at the principal office of the Trustee
                  in the City of Toronto;

            (b)   surrendering this Warrant Certificate and the duly completed
                  and executed Exercise Form to the Trustee at the principal
                  office of the Trustee in the City of Toronto; and

            (c)   remitting a certified cheque in lawful money of Canada,
                  payable to or to the order of the Trustee at par where this
                  Warrant Certificate is so surrendered, for the aggregate
                  purchase price of the Shares so subscribed for.

This Warrant Certificate shall be deemed to be surrendered only upon personal
delivery hereof or, if sent by mail or other means of transmission, upon actual
receipt thereof by the Trustee at the office referred to above.

Upon surrender of these Warrants, the person or persons in whose name or names
the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are to be issued shall be
deemed for all purposes (except as provided in the Indenture hereinafter
referred to) to be the holder or holders of record of such Shares and the
Corporation has covenanted that it will (subject to the provisions of the
Indenture) cause a certificate or certificates representing such Shares to be
delivered or mailed to the person or persons at the address or addresses
specified in the Exercise Form within five Business Days.

The registered holder of this Warrant Certificate may acquire any lesser number
of Shares than the number of Shares which may be acquired for the Warrants
represented by this Warrant Certificate. In such event, the holder shall be
entitled to receive without charge a new Warrant Certificate for the balance of
the Shares which may be acquired. No fractional Shares will be issued.

The Warrants represented by this certificate are issued under and pursuant to a
warrant indenture (herein referred to as the "INDENTURE") made as of [SEPTEMBER
30], 2004 between the Corporation and the Trustee. Reference is made to the
Indenture and any instruments supplemental thereto for a full description of the
rights of the holders of the Warrants and the terms and conditions upon which
the Warrants are, or are to be, issued and held, with the same effect as if the
provisions of the Indenture and all instruments supplemental thereto were set
forth herein. By acceptance hereof, the holder assents to all provisions of the
Indenture. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of the Warrant
Certificate and the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern.
Capitalized terms used in the Indenture have the meaning herein as therein,
unless otherwise defined.

In the event of any alteration of the Shares, including any subdivision,
consolidation or reclassification, and in the event of any form of
reorganization of the Corporation including any amalgamation, merger or
arrangement, the holders of Warrants shall, upon exercise of the Warrants
following the occurrence of any of those events, be entitled to receive the same
number and kind of securities that they would have been entitled to receive had
they exercised their Warrants immediately prior to the occurrence of those
events, subject to the provisions of the Indenture.

The registered holder of this Warrant Certificate may, at any time prior to the
Time of Expiry, upon surrender hereof to the Trustee at its principal office in
the City of Toronto, exchange this Warrant Certificate for other certificates
entitling the holder to acquire, in the aggregate, the same number of Shares as
may be acquired under this Warrant Certificate.

The holding of the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate shall not
constitute the holder hereof a shareholder of the Corporation or entitle the
holder to any right or interest in respect thereof except as expressly provided
in the Indenture or in this Warrant Certificate.

The Indenture provides that all holders of Warrants shall be bound by any
resolution passed at a meeting of the holders held in accordance with the
provisions of the Indenture and resolutions signed by the holders of Warrants
entitled to acquire a specified majority of the Shares which may be acquired
pursuant to all then outstanding Warrants.

The Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate may be transferred on the
register kept at the offices of the Trustee by the registered holder hereof or
its legal representatives or its attorney duly appointed by the transfer form
attached hereto or by another instrument in writing in form and execution
satisfactory to the Trustee, only upon compliance with the conditions prescribed
in the Indenture and upon compliance with such reasonable requirements as the
Trustee may prescribe.

This Warrant Certificate shall not be valid for any purpose whatever unless and
until it has been certified by or on behalf of the Trustee.

federal laws of Canada applicable therein and shall be treated in all respects
as an Ontario contract.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF the Corporation has caused this Warrant Certificate to be
signed by its duly authorized officers as of the 30th day of September, 2004.

                    FORM OF DECLARATION FOR REMOVAL OF LEGEND

TO:     CIBC Mellon Trust Company
        as transfer agent and registrar
        for the common shares and
        warrant agent for the warrants of
        YM BioSciences Inc.

The undersigned:

o     acknowledges that the sale of the securities of YM BioSciences Inc. to
      which this declaration relates is being made in reliance on Rule 904 of
      Regulation S ("Regulation S") under the United States Securities Act of
      1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and

o     certifies that:

      1.    it is not an "affiliate" (as defined in Rule 405 under the
            Securities Act) of YM BioSciences Inc.,

      2.    the offer of such securities was not made to a person in the United
            States and either (A) at the time the buy order was originated, the
            buyer was outside the United States, or the seller and any person
            acting on its behalf reasonably believe that the buyer was outside
            the United States, or (B) the transaction was executed on or through
            the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange, and neither the seller
            nor any person acting on its behalf knows that the transaction has
            been prearranged with a buyer in the United States,

      3.    neither the seller nor any affiliate of the seller nor any person
            acting on any of their behalf has engaged or will engage in any
            "directed selling efforts" (as such term is defined in Regulation S)
            in the United States in connection with the offer and sale of such
            securities,

      4.    the sale is bona fide and not for the purpose of "washing off" the
            resale restrictions imposed because the securities are "restricted
            securities" (as that term is defined in Rule 144(a)(3) under the
            Securities Act),

      5.    the seller does not intend to replace the securities sold in
            reliance on Rule 904 of Regulation S with fungible unrestricted
            securities, and

      6.    the contemplated sale is not a transaction, or part of a series of
            transactions which, although in technical compliance with Regulation
            S, is part of a plan or scheme to evade the registration provisions
            of the Securities Act.

CUSIP No.          984238113                  hereby

THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT _____________ (hereinafter referred to as the "HOLDER")
is the registered holder of the number of warrants ("WARRANTS") to receive
common shares ("SHARES") of YM BIOSCIENCES INC. (the "CORPORATION") as set forth
in this certificate ("WARRANT CERTIFICATE"). Each whole Warrant represented
hereby entitles the holder to purchase one fully paid and non-assessable Share
of the Corporation, without nominal or par value, as such shares were
constituted on [SEPTEMBER 30], 2004, in the manner and subject to the
restrictions and adjustments set forth herein, at any time and from time to time
until 5:00 p.m. (Toronto Time) (the "TIME OF EXPIRY") on [SEPTEMBER 30], 2007
(the "EXPIRY DATE") at a price of Cdn. $3.75 per share, subject to adjustment in
accordance with the Indenture (as defined below).
<PAGE>
                                      -2-

The right to acquire Shares hereunder may only be exercised by the holder within
the time set forth above by:

      (a)   duly completing and executing the Exercise Form attached hereto and
            also available upon request from CIBC Mellon Trust Company (the
            "Trustee") at the principal office of the Trustee in the City of
            Toronto;

      (b)   surrendering this Warrant Certificate and the duly completed and
            executed Exercise Form to the Trustee at the principal office of the
            Trustee in the City of Toronto; and

      (c)   remitting a certified cheque in lawful money of Canada, payable to
            or to the order of the Trustee at par where this Warrant Certificate
            is so surrendered, for the aggregate purchase price of the Shares so
            subscribed for.

This Warrant Certificate shall be deemed to be surrendered only upon personal
delivery hereof or, if sent by mail or other means of transmission, upon actual
receipt thereof by the Trustee at the office referred to above.

Upon surrender of these Warrants, the person or persons in whose name or names
the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are to be issued shall be
deemed for all purposes (except as provided in the Indenture hereinafter
referred to) to be the holder or holders of record of such Shares and the
Corporation has covenanted that it will (subject to the provisions of the
Indenture) cause a certificate or certificates representing such Shares to be
delivered or mailed to the person or persons at the address or addresses
specified in the Exercise Form within five Business Days.

The registered holder of this Warrant Certificate may acquire any lesser number
of Shares than the number of Shares which may be acquired for the Warrants
represented by this Warrant Certificate. In such event, the holder shall be
entitled to receive without charge a new Warrant Certificate for the balance of
the Shares which may be acquired. No fractional Shares will be issued.

The Warrants represented by this certificate are issued under and pursuant to a
warrant indenture (herein referred to as the "INDENTURE") made as of [SEPTEMBER
30], 2004 between the Corporation and the Trustee. Reference is made to the
Indenture and any instruments supplemental thereto for a full description of the
rights of the holders of the Warrants and the terms and conditions upon which
the Warrants are, or are to be, issued and held, with the same effect as if the
provisions of the Indenture and all instruments supplemental thereto were set
forth herein. By acceptance hereof, the holder assents to all provisions of the
Indenture. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of the Warrant
Certificate and the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern.
Capitalized terms used in the Indenture have the meaning herein as therein,
unless otherwise defined.

In the event of any alteration of the Shares, including any subdivision,
consolidation or reclassification, and in the event of any form of
reorganization of the Corporation including any amalgamation, merger or
arrangement, the holders of Warrants shall, upon exercise of the Warrants
following the occurrence of any of those events, be entitled to receive the same
number and kind of securities that they would have been entitled to receive had
they exercised their Warrants immediately prior to the occurrence of those
events, subject to the provisions of the Indenture.

The registered holder of this Warrant Certificate may, at any time prior to the
Time of Expiry, upon surrender hereof to the Trustee at its principal office in
the City of Toronto, exchange this Warrant Certificate for other certificates
entitling the holder to acquire, in the aggregate, the same number of Shares as
may be acquired under this Warrant Certificate.

The holding of the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate shall not
constitute the holder hereof a shareholder of the Corporation or entitle the
holder to any right or interest in respect thereof except as expressly provided
in the Indenture or in this Warrant Certificate.
<PAGE>
                                      -3-

The Indenture provides that all holders of Warrants shall be bound by any
resolution passed at a meeting of the holders held in accordance with the
provisions of the Indenture and resolutions signed by the holders of Warrants
entitled to acquire a specified majority of the Shares which may be acquired
pursuant to all then outstanding Warrants.

The Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate may be transferred on the
register kept at the offices of the Trustee by the registered holder hereof or
its legal representatives or its attorney duly appointed by the transfer form
attached hereto or by another instrument in writing in form and execution
satisfactory to the Trustee, only upon compliance with the conditions prescribed
in the Indenture and upon compliance with such reasonable requirements as the
Trustee may prescribe.

This Warrant Certificate shall not be valid for any purpose whatever unless and
until it has been certified by or on behalf of the Trustee.

                                      -4-

Time shall be of the essence hereof. This Warrant Certificate shall be governed
by and construed in accordance with the laws of the province of Ontario and the
federal laws of Canada applicable therein and shall be treated in all respects
as an Ontario contract.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF the Corporation has caused this Warrant Certificate to be
signed by its duly authorized officers as of the 30th day of September, 2004.

INSTRUCTIONS:

      For the purposes of paragraph (f) above, the following words and phrases

      "United States" and "U.S. Person" have the meaning given to such terms

      resident in the United States; (ii) any partnership or corporation
      organized or incorporated under the laws of the United States; (iii) any
      estate of which any executor or administrator is a U.S. Person; (iv) any

      or trust) held by a dealer or other fiduciary organized, incorporated or
      (if an individual) resident in the United States; and (viii) any
      partnership or corporation if (a) organized or incorporated under the laws
      of any jurisdiction other than the United States and (b) formed by a U.S.
      Person principally for the purposes of investing in securities not
      registered under the U.S. Securities Act; and

      "U.S. Securities Act" means the United States Securities Act of 1933, as
      amended.

                                   APPENDIX 3

                   FORM OF DECLARATION FOR REMOVAL OF LEGEND

TO:   CIBC Mellon Trust Company
      as transfer agent and registrar
      for the common shares and
      warrant agent for the warrants of
      YM BioSciences Inc.

The undersigned:

o     acknowledges that the sale of the securities of YM BioSciences Inc. to
      which this declaration relates is being made in reliance on Rule 904 of
      Regulation S ("Regulation S") under the United States Securities Act of
      1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and

o     certifies that:

      1.    it is not an "affiliate" (as defined in Rule 405 under the
            Securities Act) of YM BioSciences Inc.,

      2.    the offer of such securities was not made to a person in the United
            States and either (A) at the time the buy order was originated, the
            buyer was outside the United States, or the seller and any person
            acting on its behalf reasonably believe that the buyer was outside
            the United States, or (B) the transaction was executed on or through
            the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange, and neither the seller
            nor any person acting on its behalf knows that the transaction has
            been prearranged with a buyer in the United States,

      3.    neither the seller nor any affiliate of the seller nor any person
            acting on any of their behalf has engaged or will engage in any
            "directed selling efforts" (as such term is defined in Regulation S)
            in the United States in connection with the offer and sale of such
            securities,

      4.    the sale is bona fide and not for the purpose of "washing off" the
            resale restrictions imposed because the securities are "restricted
            securities" (as that term is defined in Rule 144(a)(3) under the
            Securities Act),

      5.    the seller does not intend to replace the securities sold in
            reliance on Rule 904 of Regulation S with fungible unrestricted
            securities, and

      6.    the contemplated sale is not a transaction, or part of a series of
            transactions which, although in technical compliance with Regulation
            S, is part of a plan or scheme to evade the registration provisions
            of the Securities Act.
