The purchase agreement between the Company and the vendors of the Lobo Property (the "Purchase Agreement") was dated June 5, 2012 and the vendors of the Lobo Property had previously extended the closing date under the Purchase Agreement several times. The last such extension ran through October 2, 2012. The vendors of the Lobo Property proposed a further amendment to the Purchase Agreement to extend closing yet again upon certain conditions. However, no agreed-upon extension to the closing date had been reached. On November 28, 2012, the Company received a letter from the vendors to terminate the Purchase Agreement on the grounds that there had been no agreed-upon extension to the closing date.

On November 30, 2012, the Company was notified by its proposed lender that it will not proceed with the financing proposal to provide the Company with debt financing to complete the purchase of the Lobo Property.

Trading of the shares of the Company remain halted and will be reinstated upon receipt by the TSX Venture Exchange of satisfactory documentation to effect a resumption of trading.
