Finder's fees will be payable in connection with the Private Placement, all in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange and applicable securities laws.

Trading of the Company's shares will remain halted until completion of the Consolidation, name change, Private Placement and closing of the transaction with Liberty Gold Corp.
