Further Information

The previously announced proposed transaction (the "Transaction") may be considered a reverse takeover pursuant to the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV"), and as such, in accordance with the TSXV policies, common shares of North Sur are currently halted from trading and will remain so until such time as the TSXV determines, which may not occur until completion of the Transaction.

If and when a definitive agreement with respect to the Transaction is executed, the Corporation will issue a subsequent press release in accordance with the policies of the TSXV containing the details of the respective definitive agreement and additional terms of the Transaction.

Completion of the Transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including TSXV acceptance and disinterested shareholder approval, if required. The Transaction cannot close until the required shareholder approval is obtained. There can be no assurance that the Transaction will be completed as proposed or at all.

Investors are cautioned that, except as disclosed in the disclosure document to be prepared in connection with the Transaction, any information released or received with respect to the Transaction may not be accurate or complete and should not be relied upon. Trading in the securities of North Sur should be considered highly speculative.

The TSXV has in no way passed upon the merits of the proposed Transaction and has neither approved nor disapproved the contents of this press release.

This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities in the United States. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act") or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, unless an exemption from such registration is available.

Certain statements contained in this news release, including statements or information that contain terminology such as "anticipate", "believe", "intend", "expect", "estimate", "may", "could", "will", "the review and analysis of other business opportunities" and similar expressions constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, that address activities, events, or developments that North Sur or a third party expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future, including our future growth, results of operations, performance and business prospects, outlook and opportunities are forward-looking statements. In particular, this news release contains forward-looking statements concerning the completion and timing of the Transaction, expected terms of the Transaction, the requirement for shareholder approval and the parties' ability to satisfy closing conditions and receive necessary approvals.

Forward-looking statements are based on a number of material factors, expectations or assumptions of North Sur which have been used to develop such statements and information but which may prove to be incorrect. Although North Sur believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on them because North Sur can give no assurance that they will prove to be correct.

Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this news release are qualified by these cautionary statements and the other cautionary statements and risk factors and uncertainties contained in this news release.
