A new corporate entity will allow the financing of this mineral project separate from the Company's ongoing petroleum activities in the area. In this regard the Company has retained David C. Carter, P.Geo. of Hy-Grade Geoscience of Halifax to prepare a National Instrument 43-101 compliant report on the resource potential for potash and salt in the Company's Bay St. George project. Mr. Carter is a professional geoscientist with over 25 years experience including full project evaluation and field management of potash and salt drill programs in Atlantic Canada. The corporate re-organization will proceed by a plan of arrangement or other suitable transaction subject to TSX-Venture Exchange, regulator and court approval as well as shareholder approval. Shareholders of the Company, as of the applicable record date, will receive shares in NewCo on a pro-rata basis. It is anticipated at this time, subject to modification, that the Company will retain approximately 20% of the shares in NewCo post financing. Further details regarding the arrangement will be set out in an Information Circular to be sent to shareholders in advance of a shareholder's meeting to approve the transaction.
