In connection with the closing of the first tranche of the Financing, the Agent received a cash commission equal to 7% of the gross proceeds raised under the Financing. The next tranche of the Financing is anticipated to close next week.

The Flow-Through Shares issued under the Financing are subject to a four month and one day resale and transfer restriction under applicable securities laws. The net proceeds of the Financing will be used as previously announced in the Corporation's press release dated April 17, 2013.

The Corporation also announces that the board of directors of the Company has approved the adoption of an advance notice by-law (the "By-law").

The By-law is effective immediately and, in accordance with the Business Corporations Act (Alberta), shareholders of the Company will be asked to confirm the By-law at the upcoming annual and special meeting of shareholders scheduled to be held on June 13, 2013. A copy of the By-law will be included in the proxy materials to be mailed to shareholders in connection with the June 13, 2013 meeting and filed under the Company's profile at www.sedar.com.
