Ingalls & Snyder LLC purchased 1,000 Units and upon closing will own 17% of the issued and outstanding common shares and accordingly be an insider. Fraser Mackenzie Limited acted as a Finder for 1,475 Units and was paid a fee of $102,750 and issued non-transferable warrants to acquire 2,055,000 common shares at $0.10 per share until August 27, 2012. The Company will be making certain filings to satisfy the acceptance requirements of the TSX Venture Exchange.
