 The undersigned (the “Purchaser”) hereby irrevocably
  subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the Corporation, pursuant to the
  terms and conditions of this Subscription Agreement and in the Agency Agreement
  (as hereinafter defined), that number of common shares (the “Common Shares”)
  of the Corporation set out in subparagraph 18(a). The Common Shares form part

  at a price of $1.80 per Common Share. A copy of the term sheet (the “Term
  Sheet”) outlining the terms and conditions of the Offering is attached
  hereto as Schedule “A”. In the event of any inconsistency between

  Common Shares may only be resold during such four month period in accordance
  with appropriate statutory exemptions from the prospectus requirements of the
  Securities Laws or if appropriate consents or discretionary orders have been
  obtained, and if the consent of the Exchange has been obtained. Purchasers are

	 	 	representation, warranty,
        covenant or other information relating to the Purchaser or the beneficial
        purchaser contained in this Subscription Agreement which takes place prior
        to Closing;

	 	 	 
	 	(i)	the Common Shares are subject
        to the terms, conditions and provisions of this Subscription Agreement
        (including the schedules hereto), the constating documents of the Corporation
        and the Agency Agreement and that copies of such documents, once executed,
        will be made available to the Purchaser upon request;

	 	 	 
	 	(j)	no person has made any written
        or oral representations:

	 	 	 	 
	 	 	(i)
	that any person will resell or repurchase
        the Common Shares;

	 	 	 	 
	 	 	(ii)
	that any person will refund the purchase
        price of the Common Shares;

	 	 	 	 
	 	 	(iii)
	as to the future price or value of the
        Common Shares; or

	 	 	 	 
	 	 	(iv)
	that the Common Shares will be listed
        and posted for trading on any stock exchange or that application has been
        made therefor;

	 	 	 
	 	(k)	the certificates evidencing
        the Common Shares will bear legends regarding restrictions on transfer
        as required by applicable Securities Laws and policies of the Exchange;

	 	(o)	there are restrictions on

        requirements to provide the Purchaser with a prospectus and to sell securities
        through a person or company registered to sell securities under the Securities
        Act (British Columbia) and the Securities Laws and, as a consequence
        of acquiring Common Shares pursuant to this exemption, certain protections,
        rights and remedies provided by the Securities Act (British Columbia)
        and the Securities Laws, including statutory rights of rescission or damages,
        will not be available to the Purchaser;













- 6 -


	 	(q)	because the Purchaser is not purchasing
        the Common Shares under a prospectus, the Purchaser will not have the
        civil remedies that would otherwise be available to the Purchaser;

	 	 	 
	 	(r)	an investment in the Common Shares by
        the Purchaser is a highly speculative investment involving significant
        risks and the Purchaser should not purchase Common Shares unless they
        are able to sustain the loss of their entire investment; and

	 	 	 
	 	(s)	an understanding of the risks involved
        in an investment in a resource based company requires specialized knowledge
        of the industry. To the extent that the Purchaser does not have such specialized
        knowledge, the Purchaser is responsible for obtaining such advice and
        from such experts and advisors that it considers appropriate. Neither
        the Agents nor the Company will provide, nor be in any way responsible
        for providing, the Purchaser with any advice or information in this respect.



 5.           Conditions
  of Closing 

 The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that as the sale of
  the Common Shares will not be qualified by a prospectus, such sale is subject
  to the condition that it (or, if applicable, any others for whom it is contracting
  hereunder) sign and return to the Corporation and/or the Agents all relevant
  documentation required by the Securities Laws. The Purchaser acknowledges and
  agrees that the Agents and/or the Corporation may be required to provide the
  Securities Regulators and the Exchange with a list setting forth the identities
  of the beneficial purchasers of the Common Shares (on a confidential basis,
  except in the Province of British Columbia). Notwithstanding that the Purchaser
  may be purchasing Common Shares as agent on behalf of an undisclosed principal,
  the Purchaser agrees to provide, on request, particulars as to the identity
  of such undisclosed principal as may be required by the Agents and/or the Corporation
  in order to comply with the foregoing. 

 In the event that the purchase of the Common Shares pursuant
  to the provisions of this Subscription Agreement does not occur, the Subscription
  Agreement will be returned to the Purchaser, together with any payment that
  has been made in respect of the Common Shares, and the obligations of the parties
  hereto shall thereupon terminate.

  of Offer to Purchase

  irrevocable offer to purchase the Common Shares shall constitute an agreement
  by the Corporation with the Purchaser that the Purchaser shall have, in respect
  of such Common Shares the benefits of the representations, warranties and covenants
  of the Corporation made by the Corporation and the conditions of Closing not
  waived by the Agents contained in the Agency Agreement.
