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

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.
