UPON the application (the Application) of Goldpark China Limited (the Applicant) to the Ontario Securities Commission (the Commission) requesting a consent from the Commission for the Applicant to continue in another jurisdiction, as required by subsection 4(b) of the Regulation;

AND UPON considering the Application and the recommendation of the staff of the Commission;

AND UPON the Applicant having represented to the Commission that:

1. The Applicant intends to apply (the Application for Continuance) to the Director under the OBCA for authorization to continue under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), S.B.C. 2002, c. 57 (the BCA).

2. Pursuant to subsection 4(b) of the Regulation, where the corporation is an offering corporation, the Application for Continuance must be accompanied by a consent from the Commission.

3. The Applicant was incorporated under the OBCA on August 11, 1983 and its head office is located at Suite 1012, 28 Olive Avenue, Toronto, Ontario. The Applicant is an offering corporation under the OBCA and is a reporting issuer under the Securities Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. S.5, as amended (the Act). The Applicant's authorized share capital consists of an unlimited number of common shares and an unlimited number of preference shares, issuable in series.

AND UPON the Commission being satisfied that to do so would not be prejudicial to the public interest;
