Renewal of Preliminary Base Shelf Prospectus
 
The Company today also filed for a renewal of the preliminary short form base shelf prospectus with the securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces of Canada other than Quebec. This filing, when made final, will replace the Company�s base shelf prospectus that expired earlier in May 2016 and will continue to enable the Company to offer in Canada an aggregate of up to US$100 million of common shares, preferred shares, warrants, subscription receipts, debt securities or units, over a 25-month period. 
 
The Company has no immediate intent to issue securities as a result of this renewal filing.  This renewal filing of the Company�s existing short form base shelf prospectus maintains the Company�s financial flexibility and provides efficient access to the Canadian capital markets when capital is required.
 
This news release does not constitute an offer to sell securities, nor is it a solicitation of an offer to buy securities, in any jurisdiction.  All sales will be made through registered securities dealers in jurisdictions where an offering has been qualified for distribution.
