EXPLANATORY NOTE

The purpose of this amendment to our report on Form 6-K, originally filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on May 17, 2012 (the “Form 6-K”), is to amend the Company’s Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 (the “Interim Financial Statements”). The amendments were necessitated by a comment from the British Columbia Securities Commission.

The amendment to the Interim Financial Statements provides the required disclosure as to the statement of changes in equity for the three month period ended March 31, 2011, as well as the required disclosure in the notes to the Interim Financial Statements as to comply with IAS 34. This Form 6-K/A continues to describe conditions as of our original filing, and does not update disclosures contained herein to reflect events that occurred at a later date. This amendment speaks as of the original filing date of the Form 6-K, does not reflect events that may have occurred subsequent to the original filing date and does not modify or update in any way disclosures made in the Form 6-K. Other than the above referenced amendments, there are no other changes to the Interim Financial Statements.
