The Issuer Bid comprises a part of RWP's "going private plan" which will involve an application to delist the Shares from the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") and making application to cease to be a reporting issuer under applicable securities laws. The Issuer Bid will provide shareholders of RWP with an opportunity to sell their Shares prior to the Shares being delisted from the TSXV. Certain major shareholders ("Non-Tendering Shareholders") of RWP, being Mr. Henry De Ruiter, Ms. Deanne Downey and Mr. Vincent Pileggi, holding an aggregate of 4,790,834 Shares, have agreed not to tender to the Issuer Bid and to support the applications to the TSXV and securities regulators such that they will remain shareholders of RWP following the completion of the Issuer Bid and the delisting of the Shares from the TSXV.

The Issuer Bid is subject to the approval of the TSXV. A circular containing full details of the Issuer Bid and the procedures for tendering Shares is expected to be filed with the appropriate Canadian securities regulatory authorities and mailed to shareholders by mid-December, 2007.
