(f) the Undersigned acknowledges that the Company shall refuse to register any transfer of the Securities not made in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S, pursuant to registration under the 1933 Act, or pursuant to an available exemption from registration under the 1933 Act; provided, however, that if the Securities are in bearer form or foreign law prevents the Company from refusing to register securities transfers, other reasonable procedures are implemented to prevent any transfer of the Securities not made in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S.

2. Definition of U.S. Person. A "U.S. Person" is defined by Regulation S to be any person who is:

(a) any natural person resident in the United States;

(b) any partnership or corporation organized or incorporated under the laws of the United States;

3. Residency. The Undersigned is resident in the jurisdiction set out under the address of Undersigned on the signature page below, which address is the ordinary residence or place of business of the Undersigned, and, if the Undersigned is a corporate entity, it was not created nor is it used solely for the purpose of acquiring the Securities.

5. Not an Underwriter. The Undersigned is not an underwriter of, or dealer in, the common shares of the Company, nor is the Undersigned participating, pursuant to a contractual agreement or otherwise, in the distribution of the Securities.

6. Investment Intent. The Undersigned is acquiring the Securities for investment solely for his own account and not with a present view to any distribution, transfer or resale to others, including any "distribution" within the meaning of 1933 Act or the securities laws of any state. The

Undersigned understands that the Securities have not and will not be registered under the 1933 Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the 1933 Act, the availability of which depends on, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Undersigned's representations made herein.

The Undersigned is financially able to suffer a complete loss of this investment.

9. Experience. The Undersigned acknowledges that he is a sophisticated investor, having such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters in general and with respect to investments of a nature similar to that evidenced by the Securities so as to be capable, by reason of such knowledge and experience, of evaluating the merits and risks of, and making an informed business decision with regard to, and protecting his own interests in connection with, the acquisition of the Securities, and fully understands the speculative nature of the Securities.

An active trading market for the Company's common shares may not develop and the Undersigned may not be able to resell the Securities at prices equal to or greater than the price paid for the Securities. The market price of the Company's common shares may decline as the result of announcements by the Company or its competitors, variations in the Company's results of operations, and market conditions in the mining industries in general.

13. Restricted Securities. The Undersigned acknowledges that the Securities have not been registered under the 1933 Act and are "restricted securities" as that term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated thereunder and may not be offered or re-sold in the United States unless they are subsequently

registered under the 1933 Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The certificates evidencing the Securities will contain a legend substantially as follows:

Xxxxxx X0X 0X0

Attention: President

Dear Sir:

1. Residency. The Undersigned is resident in the jurisdiction set out under the address of Undersigned on the signature page below, which address is the ordinary residence or place of business of the Undersigned, and, if the Undersigned is a corporate entity, it was not created nor is it used solely for the purpose of acquiring the Securities.

2. Deemed Statutory Underwriter. The Subscriber acknowledges that if the Subscriber acquires the Securities with a view to the distribution of the Securities, or participates or has a direct or indirect participation in any such undertaking, or participates or has a participation in the direct or indirect underwriting of any such undertaking, the Subscriber may be deemed a statutory underwriter under section 2(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the "1933 Act").

3. Not an Underwriter. The Undersigned is not an underwriter of, or dealer in, the common shares of the Company, nor is the Undersigned participating, pursuant to a contractual agreement or otherwise, in the distribution of the Securities.

4. Investment Intent. The Undersigned is acquiring the Securities for investment solely for his own account and not with a present view to any distribution, transfer or resale to others, including any "distribution" within the meaning of 1933 Act or the securities laws of any state. The Undersigned understands that the Securities have not and will not be registered under the 1933 Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the 1933 Act, the availability of which depends on, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Undersigned's representations made herein.

5. No Intention to Circumvent 1933 Act Registration Requirements. The current structure of this transaction and all transactions and activities contemplated hereunder is not a scheme to avoid the registration requirements of the 1933 Act.

6. Financial Ability. The Undersigned is financially able to bear the economic risks of an investment in the Company and has no need for liquidity in this investment. Furthermore, the financial capacity of the Undersigned is of such a proportion that the total cost of the Undersigned's commitment is not material when compared with his total committed capital. The Undersigned is financially able to suffer a complete loss of this investment.

7. Experience. The Undersigned acknowledges that he is a sophisticated investor, having such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters in general and with respect to investments of a nature similar to that evidenced by the Securities so as to be capable, by reason of such knowledge and experience, of evaluating the merits and risks of, and making an informed business decision with regard to, and protecting his own interests in connection with, the acquisition of the Securities, and fully understands the speculative nature of the Securities.

8. Resale Restrictions. The Undersigned is aware that the Securities may not be offered or re-sold in the United States without registration under the 1933 Act or compliance with requirements of an exemption from registration and the applicable laws of all applicable states and acknowledges that the Company has no present intention of filing a registration statement under the 1933 Act in respect of the Securities. The Undersigned undertakes and agrees that it will not offer or re-sell any of the Securities to the public unless such securities are registered under the 1933 Act and the securities laws of all applicable states of the United States or an exemption from such registration requirements is available, and pursuant to the applicable securities regulations of the residence of the Undersigned, or pursuant to an available exemption from such registration.

10. Limited Public Market. The Undersigned understands that Company's common shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and there has been only a limited public market for the Company's common shares. The Company has made no assurances that the limited public market will continue. An active trading market for the Company's common shares may not develop and the Undersigned may not be able to resell the Securities at prices equal to or greater than the price paid for the Securities. The market price of the Company's common shares may decline as the result of announcements by the Company or its competitors, variations in the Company's results of operations, and market conditions in the mining industries in general.

11. Restricted Securities. The Undersigned acknowledges that the Securities have not been registered under the 1933 Act and are "restricted securities" as that term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated thereunder and may not be offered or re-sold in the United States unless they are subsequently registered under the 1933 Act or an exemption from such registration is available.
