8.
ADVANCE SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL TO THE ISSUANCE OF A NUMBER OF COMMON SHARES BY PRIVATE PLACEMENT THAT EXCEEDS 25% OF THE COMPANY’S ISSUED SHARE CAPITAL
Under the rules of the TSX the aggregate number of shares of a listed company which are issued or made subject to issuance (i.e. issuable under a share purchase warrant or option or other convertible security) by way of one or more private placement transactions during any particular six-month period must not exceed 25% of the number of shares outstanding (on a non-diluted basis) prior to giving effect to such transactions (the "TSX 25% Rule").
The application of the TSX 25% Rule may restrict the availability of funds which it may wish to raise in the future by private placement of its securities.
The Directors consider it to be in the best interests of the Company to retain flexibility for the Company, to facilitate it raising working capital, exploration funds and development financing by way of private placement financing if necessary. The TSX has a working practice that it will accept advance approval by the shareholders in anticipation of private placements that may exceed the TSX 25% Rule, provided such private placements are completed within 12 months of the date such advance shareholder approval is given.
The Company's issued and outstanding share capital is currently 36,138,169 Common Shares. The Company proposes that the maximum number of Common Shares which would be subject to issue under one or more private placements in the 12 month period following the Meeting would not exceed 20,000,000 Common Shares.
Any private placement proceeded with by the Company under the advance shareholder approval being sought at the Meeting will be subject to the following additional restrictions:
(a)
it must be substantially with parties at arm's length to the Company;
(b)
it cannot have a material effect on control of the Company;
(c)
it must be completed within a 12-month period following the date advance shareholder approval is given; and
(d)
it must comply with the private placement pricing rules of the TSX, which currently require that the price per security must not be lower than the closing market price of the security on the TSX on the trading day prior to the date notice of the private placement is given to the TSX (the "Market Price") less the applicable discount, as follows:
Market Price | Maximum Discount |
$0.50 or less | 25% |
$0.51 to $2.00 | 20% |
Above $2.00 | 15% |
In any event, the TSX retains the discretion to decide whether or not a particular placement is "substantially" at arms-length or have a "material effect on the Company", in which case specific shareholder approval may still be required.
In anticipation that the Company may need to enter into one or more private placements in the next 12 months that will make issuable such number of its treasury Common Shares, taking into account any Common Shares that may be issued upon exercise of any warrants or options granted in connection with the private placements, that will exceed the TSX 25% Rule, the Company requests that disinterested shareholders (those who’s votes are not attached to securities beneficially owned by insiders or their associates) pass a resolution as follows:
Resolved that the issuance by the Company in one or more private placements of such number of securities as would result in the Company making issuable during the 12 month period following the date of the annual general meeting an amount of Common Shares that exceeds 25% of the Company's issued and outstanding share capital but not more than 20,000,000 Common Shares, as more particularly described in and subject to the restrictions described in the Company's Information Circular relating to the annual general meeting is hereby approved.
The directors of the Company believe the passing of the ordinary resolution is in the best interests of the Company and recommend the shareholders vote in favour of the resolution. In the event the resolution is not passed, the TSX will not approve any private placements which result in the issuance or possible issuance of a number of Common Shares which exceeds the TSX 25% Rule, without specific shareholder approval. Such restriction could impede the Company's timely access to required funds.
9.

13.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
This statement has been prepared with reference to Corporate Governance Guidelines adopted by The Toronto Stock Exchange Inc. (the “TSX”). The Board of Directors (the "Board”) is responsible for supervising management in carrying on the business and affairs of the Company. Directors are required to exercise their powers with reasonable prudence in the best interests of the Company. The Board assumes responsibility for the stewardship of the Company and responsibility for the following matters:
(i)
adoption of a strategic planning process;
(ii)
the identification of the principal risks of the corporation’s business and ensuring the implementation of appropriate systems to manage these risks;
(iii)
succession planning, including appointing, training and monitoring senior management;
(iv)
a communications policy for the corporation; and
(v)
the integrity of the corporation’s internal control and management information systems.
In carrying out its mandate, the Board relies primarily on management to provide it with regular detailed reports on the operations of the Company and its financial position. The Board reviews and assesses these reports and other information provided to it at meetings of the Board.
The Board has two unrelated directors who are independent of management and free from any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with the directors’ ability to act in the best interest of the Company. Of the directors on its Board, only Mr. Swallow, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Mr. MacPherson, the Chairman, and Dr. Robert Gayton, VP Finance and Corporate Secretary, are members of management. None of the remaining directors have any business or other relationship with the Company.
The Board has appointed an Audit Committee comprised of John Kearney, David Shaw and Malcolm Swallow. The Audit Committee monitors audit functions, meets with outside auditors to evaluate their performance and to review the adequacy of the Company’s internal control procedures and systems, and reviews audited financial statements before they are approved by the Board. The Board has determined that, in view of the fact that half of the directors on the Board are, or will be, non-executive directors, it is unnecessary to have any other Board Committees.
The Board has adopted a policy of providing an orientation and education program for new recruits to the Board. The Board has examined the size of the Board and concluded that, at the present time, the proposed board of six directors is appropriate. The Board has also determined that the form of compensation to directors realistically reflects the responsibilities and risks involved in being an effective director.
The Company’s corporate governance guidelines have been adopted in accordance with the TSX guidelines, as appropriate for the Company’s present size and stage of development, and will be reviewed and updated annually as required.
Management knows of no other matters to come before the Meeting other than as set forth in the notice of annual general meeting, but if such should occur, the persons named in the accompanying form of proxy, intend to vote on them on a poll in accordance with their best judgement, exercising discretionary authority with respect to amendments or variations of matters identified in the Notice of Annual General Meeting and other matters which may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.
The contents and sending of this Information Circular have been approved by the board of directors of the Company.
By Order of the Board of Directors,
“Malcolm J.A. Swallow”
