(the “Issuer”). Unless otherwise specified, all capitalized terms contained herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Schedule 13D.

NOTE: Beneficial ownership calculations below are based on 13,772,530 Common Shares of the Issuer outstanding as of October 17, 2003.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5(a) and (c) are hereby amended and restated to read in their entirety as follows:

(a) Exploration Capital is the direct beneficial owner of 1,846,714 Shares (including 1,122,807 immediately exercisable purchase warrants), representing approximately 12.4% of the Issuer’s outstanding Common Shares. By virtue of the relationships described under Item 2 of the Schedule 13D, each of Mr. Rule and the Trust may be deemed to share indirect ownership of the Shares directly beneficially owned by Exploration Capital.

Global Resource is the direct beneficial owner of 248,574 Shares (all of which are immediately exercisable share purchase warrants). By virtue of the relationships described under Item 2 of the Schedule 13D, each of Mr. Rule and the Trust may be deemed to share indirect ownership of the Shares directly beneficially owned by Global Resource.

Based on the above, each of Mr. Rule and the Trust has, in aggregate, indirect beneficial ownership of 2,095,288 Shares, or approximately 13.8% of the Issuer’s outstanding Common Shares.

(c) The Reporting Persons do not directly beneficially own any Shares. Since the filing of Amendment No. 6 to the Schedule 13D, the following transactions have occurred with respect to the Shares indirectly beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons:

On September 5, 2003, Global Resource exercised 27,246 warrants (exercise price $1.50 per share) and distributed the Common Shares so obtained to persons unaffiliated with either of the Reporting Persons.
