     (a) Certain of the Reporting Persons acquired an aggregate of 3,285,000
Special Warrant Shares from the issuer in a private placement offering that
closed on June 5, 2007 (the "Offering"). Each Special Warrant Share entitles the
holder thereof to receive, without the payment of additional consideration, upon
the exercise thereof, one share of common stock and one-half of one Warrant,
each full Warrant being exercisable to acquire one share of common stock at an
exercise price of $1.10 per share for a period of 60 months from the closing of
the Offering. Each holder of a Special Warrant Share that has not expired by its
terms may elect to convert its Special Warrant Shares into the underlying shares
of common stock and Warrants at any time after 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on
December 3, 2007. If the issuer fails to obtain a receipt for a final Canadian
prospectus and effectiveness of a U.S. registration statement within 180
following the closing of the Offering, the issuer will be required to pay the
Reporting Persons a liquidity incentive payment equal to 1% per month
(pro-rated) of the aggregate purchase price paid by the Reporting Persons for
the Special Warrant Shares, subject to a maximum liquidity incentive payment
equal to an aggregate of 12% of the aggregate purchase price paid by the
Reporting Persons for the Special Warrant Shares.
