ITEM 9.  SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES PURSUANT TO REGULATION S

                  On  November  1,  1996,  Toucan  Gold  Corporation  ("Toucan")
         completed  the offering of 1,600,000  units (the "Units") for aggregate
         gross proceeds of U.S. $4 million.  Each Unit consisted of one share of
         common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"),  of Toucan
         and one Common  Stock share  purchase  warrant (the  "Warrants").  Each
         Warrant  entitles the holder to subscribe for one  additional  share of
         Common  Stock at a price of U.S.  $3.50 per share at any time  prior to
         the close of business on the first  anniversary of the original date of
         issue of the Warrants, subject to adjustment in connection with certain
         anti-dilution  provisions.  The price of the  Units was U.S.  $2.50 per
         Unit. The placement agent for the offering was Yorkton  Securities Inc.
         ("Yorkton").  Yorkton received a commission of 8% of the gross proceeds
         of the offering and was reimbursed  for its fees and expenses.  The net
         proceeds to Toucan were  approximately U.S.  $3,600,000.  Certain other
         information  concerning  the offering was disclosed in Form 8-K,  which
         was  filed  with  the   Securities   and   Exchange   Commission   (the
         "Commission")  on October 21, 1996, and on Form 8-K/A,  which was filed
         with the  Commission  on October 29, 1996,  and which are  incorporated
         herein by reference.

         The offering was conducted  pursuant to Regulation S promulgated  under
the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and to exemptions from the
offering  requirements  in any  jurisdiction  in which the Units  were  offered.
Accordingly,  the Units were not offered or sold in the United States or to U.S.
persons, as defined in Regulation S.
