Item 8.01 Other Events.
On November 13, 2006, we erroneously filed our proxy statement and information circular under cover of a Form 6-K. Although we are a foreign private issuer, we have elected to file our reports on the forms used by domestic issuers. Our proxy statement and information circular should therefore have been filed on Form 8-K, rather than Form 6-K. In an effort to correct our use of an inappropriate form, we are re-filing our proxy statement and information circular as an exhibit to this Form 8-K.
Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
