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

AND UPON the Applicant having represented to the Commission that:

1. The Applicant was incorporated on June 20, 1995 under the name Wollasco Minerals Inc. and changed its name to Gold Port Resources Ltd. by articles of amendment dated December 16, 2004.

2. The Applicant's head office is located at 1500 -- 800 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 2V6.

4. The Applicant's issued and outstanding common shares are listed for trading on TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "GPO".

5. The Applicant proposes to make an application (the Application for Continuance) to the Director under the OBCA pursuant to section 181 of the OBCA for authorization to continue under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the BCBCA).

6. Pursuant to subsection 4(b) of the Regulation, where a corporation is an offering corporation under the OBCA, the application for continuance must be accompanied by a consent of the Commission.

7. The Applicant is an offering corporation under the provisions of the OBCA and a reporting issuer within the meaning of the Securities Act (Ontario) (the Act).

8. The Applicant is also a reporting issuer or the equivalent under the securities legislation of each of the provinces of British Columbia and Alberta (the Legislation) and will remain a reporting issuer or the equivalent under the Act and the Legislation following the Continuance.

9. The Applicant is not in default of any of the provisions of the Act or the regulations or rules made thereunder and is not in default under the Legislation.

13. The Continuance was proposed because all of the Applicant's business is carried on from and in British Columbia and the Continuance would be more efficient and cost-effective for the Applicant and the Applicant's shareholders.

14. The material rights, duties and obligations of a corporation governed by the BCBCA are substantially similar to those governed by the OBCA.
