The BCSC considered it to be in the public interest to remove the applicability of certain exemptions from the prospectus and registration requirements of the BC Act for PetroFalcon until a shareholders meeting of PetroFalcon was held. In addition, the BCSC removed the applicability of the same exemptions for Quest Ventures Ltd. in respect of the common shares received pursuant to the private placement. Approval of shareholders was received on May 23, 2002 and the BCSC reinstated the applicability of the exemptions from the prospectus and registration requirements for both companies shortly thereafter;

(d) in early 2003 the directors and officers of Esperanza Silver Corp., a TSX-V listed company, of which Mr. Bayley was a director, became aware that it was subject to outstanding cease trading orders in each of Alberta (issued on September 17, 1998) and Québec (issued on August 12, 1997) arising from its previous failure to comply with the financial statements filing requirements of the Alberta Securities Commission (ASC) and the Québec Securities Commission. The historical financial statements and filing fees were subsequently filed and the Alberta order was rescinded on August 1, 2003 and the Québec order was rescinded on May 16, 2003;

The historical financial statements and filing fees were subsequently filed and all the orders were rescinded in August, 2003; and

(g) Mr. Sinclair was a director of Katanga Mining Limited (formerly Balloch Resources Ltd. and New Inca Gold Ltd.) on February 25, 2002 when Katanga Mining Limited was issued a cease trade order from the BCSC, the ASC and the Commission for failure to file financial statements within the prescribed period of time and pay the filing fees. Katanga Mining Limited has since filed the financial statements and paid the filing fees as required by the above securities commissions.
