that is the earlier of August 28, 2009 and

the Company to the Warrant holders that
the Company's share price closes at or above
$1.50 for 20 successive trading days on
the Toronto Stock Exchange at any time following
December 29, 2007. In both tranches of the
financing, a total of 10,381,249 units were
issued raising aggregate gross proceeds
of $4,152,500.
A finder's fee of 7% was paid to certain
arms length finders (the "Finders"). In
addition, the Finders received 10% finder's
options to purchase units at $0.50 per unit
at any time prior to the Warrant Expiry
Time, with each unit consisting of one common
share and one-half of one common share purchase
warrant, with each whole warrant entitling
