The Company is relying upon the formal valuation exemption set out in section 5.5(b) of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”) in connection with the Loan, as the Company’s common shares are not listed on senior markets. The Company is relying upon the minority approval exemption contained in section 5.7(f) of MI 61-101 in respect of the Loan as the Loan has been obtained from the related party on reasonable commercial terms that are not less advantageous to the Company than if the Loan was obtained from persons dealing at arm’s length with the Company, and the Loan is not convertible into common shares of the Company or repayable in common shares of the Company. The members of the Board other than Mr. Vulimiri have considered the Loan, and given that the Tammela Project claims fees are coming due next month, have determined it necessary for the Company to obtain the Loan from Mr. Vulimiri.
