The British Columbia Securities Commission concurrently enacted BCI 51-517.

Until the filing of the Annual Filings has been completed, the Company's management and other insiders will be subject to a trading blackout that reflects the principles described in Section 9 of National Policy 11-207 - Failure-to-File Cease Trade Orders and Revocations in Multiple Jurisdictions.
