7. The Filer is also subject to a cease trade order issued by the British Columbia Securities Commission on May 18, 2010 (the BC Order). The Filer is concurrently making application to the British Columbia Securities Commission for revocation of the BC Order.

11. The Filer is up-to-date with all of its other continuous disclosure obligations and has paid any outstanding participation fees, filing fees and late fees associated with those obligations owing to the Commission in connection with the disclosure documents referred to in paragraph 4 above and has filed all of the forms associated with such payments.

12. The Filer has not changed its business since the date of the Ontario Cease Trade Order.

13. Effective June 14, 2010, Daniel John Major was appointed as a director of the Filer. Other than this appointment, the Filer has had no changes to its directors since the date of the Ontario Cease Trade Order.

14. Upon the issuance of this Order, the Filer will issue a press release announcing the revocation of the Ontario Cease Trade Order of the Filer. The Filer will concurrently file the press release and material change report on SEDAR.

AND WHEREAS considering the Application and the recommendation of the staff of the Commission;

AND WHEREAS the Director being satisfied that it would not be prejudicial to the public interest;

IT IS ORDERED pursuant to section 144 of the Act that the Ontario Cease Trade Order is revoked.

DATED this 10th day of August, 2010.
