raised under the prospectus offering as well as up to 2.5 million broker
warrants exercisable at a price of A$0.36 per CDI for a period of three years

prospectus offering. The Advisors will receive a corporate advisory fee of
A$10,000 per month until completion of the IPO and a success fee of 0.75% of the
gross proceeds raised under the prospectus offering.


The prospectus is intended for use only in connection with the offering of the
Company's securities in Australia and is not to be construed as an offering in
Canada or any other jurisdiction. This press release shall not constitute an
offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale
of the securities in any jurisdiction where such offer, solicitation or sale
would be unlawful.


The Australian IPO is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited
to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of
the ASX and the TSX Venture Exchange. Closing of the Australian IPO is expected
to occur in mid February 2012.


Further to the Company's press release dated July 16th, 2012 the Company intends
to convert the Convertible Debentures into Debenture Units at a price of $0.25
per Unit. Each Unit will be made up of one common share and 1/2 of a common
share purchase warrant. As a result the Company will convert $3,230,000
Convertible Debentures into 12,920,000 Debenture Units and each unit consists of
one share at a deemed price of $0.25 and 1/2 purchase warrant. The Convertible
Debenture bears interest at an annual rate of 5% payable semi-annually in
arrears and the interest will be converted into shares of the Corporation.
