Corporate and Organizational Changes

In the November 3, 2014 Corporate Update, the Company summarized recent corporate and development milestones that have been met as well as highlighted the next steps for development of its Nova Scotia assets. With over $20 million in the treasury, the Company is well positioned to progress these assets through to construction and continues to actively review new potential acquisition and investment opportunities.

However, the Company is mindful of the current challenges facing the industry in general and has already implemented, and will continue to implement, a number of cost savings initiatives, including employment redundancies, to ensure that the Company preserves its cash balance through the current downturn impacting the industry.

In addition, the Board announces the following senior management changes which take effect immediately:

• As the Company advances in its business strategy and to more appropriately reflect their roles within the Company, the Board announces that Steven Dean, Executive Chairman, will now also take on the role of CEO, while John Morgan will remain President and will take on the new role of COO.
• Irfan Shariff, the Company's CFO and Corporate Secretary has resigned to take on another role outside the industry. Mr. Shariff will continue to work with the Company for a period of transition, after which he will retain an advisory role with the Company. His replacement as CFO and Corporate Secretary, Chris Batalha, has been with the Company since 2011 and was previously the Company's Corporate Controller.

Steven Dean, Executive Chairman and CEO noted: "We are pleased with the support received from our shareholders through the AGM process. Our primary goal is to deliver value to shareholders and whilst progressing the development of our Nova Scotia assets and seeking new investment and acquisition opportunities, we are mindful of the stresses facing our industry and have taken, and will continue to take, the appropriate steps to conserve cash. I would also like to thank Mr. Shariff for his very significant contribution to the Company over the past 5 years. We wish him well in his future entrepreneurial endeavours."
