The transaction is subject to approval by the TSX Venture Exchange.

For several years, the Corporation has used the Property and the Equipment routinely as part of its exploration operations.

He is also the sole shareholder of Lutsvisky and the David Mc Donald Trust is the sole shareholder of Canada. The transaction is an operation with a related person as defined in Regulation 61-101 respecting Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") and a non-arm's length acquisition under the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange. Insofar as at the date of the agreements, the consideration of the transaction did not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of the Corporation and did not exceed $2,500,000, the Corporation is exempted from the requirement to establish a formal evaluation and to obtain approval of its minority shareholders under MI 61-101.

David Mc Donald unveiled his interest and abstained from participating in the discussions of the Board of Directors relating to the acquisition and voting thereon.
