As a result of a review by the Alberta Securities Commission, the Company has refiled its MD&A of its financial position for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. This was done in an effort to clarify its continuous disclosure regarding its bank facility production covenants as disclosed in the Company's December 9, 2015 new release.
