PART 5            GENERAL MATTERS

5.1      Review of  opinions  and  reports - The  Superintendent  may,  with the
         agreement  of an issuer,  seek the opinion of an  engineer,  appraiser,
         business  valuator,   accountant  or  other  expert  to  determine  the

         this local policy statement and, in such circumstances, the issuer will
         be  liable  for the fees  charged  by such  person in  connection  with
         providing the opinion.

5.2      Requirement for valuation opinion - The Superintendent may, at the time
         of reviewing an issuer's  prospectus  for its IPO,  require a valuation
         opinion in support of the value attributed to any non-cash assets.

5.3      Out of pocket costs.  Where this local policy  statement  provides that
         the value of trading  shares  issued or other  consideration  paid to a
         person by an issuer for a  non-cash  asset  must be  calculated  on the
         basis of the out of pocket  costs  incurred by the person in respect of
         the non-cash asset, those out of pocket costs must

         (a)      be reasonable,

     (b) have contributed or be reasonably  expected to contribute to the future
operations of the issuer,

         (c)      be supported by an audited statement of costs, and

                  to lead to the identification of exploration targets.

5.4      Confirmation  of  fair  value  - The  onus  will  be on an  issuer,  if
         questioned,  to satisfy the Superintendent that fair value was received
         for  costs  or  expenditures   associated   with  a  non-arm's   length
         transaction.

PART 6            ISSUANCE OF TRADING SHARES

6.1      Minimum  price and  maximum  aggregate  value - Although  in most cases

         up to an aggregate value equal to:

     (b) the fair  market  value of any  non-cash  assets  contributed  as share
capital; plus

         (c)      the issuer's retained earnings, if any; less

         (d)      where the issuer has an accumulated  deficit,  that portion of

6.2      Interest in  operating  subsidiary  - Where an issuer has an  operating
         subsidiary, or is proposing to issue trading shares in order to acquire
         an operating subsidiary,  and the value of that operating subsidiary is
         not supported by a current  valuation  opinion,  the principles of this
         Part  will  apply  to the  operating  subsidiary  for  the  purpose  of
         determining  the  number of  trading  shares  that may be issued by the
         issuer in respect of its interest in the operating subsidiary.

6.3      Value assigned to non-cash  assets - For the purpose of section 6.l(b),
         where non- cash  assets are  contributed  to an issuer by a person in a
         non-arm's length  transaction,  the fair market value attributed to the
         non-cash assets must be either

         (a)      supported by a valuation opinion, or

         (b)      limited to an amount equal to the out of pocket costs incurred
                  by the person in respect of the non-cash assets, determined in
                  accordance with section 5.3.

6.4      Purchase of interest in mineral  property - A natural  resource  issuer
         that, in an arm's length transaction, agrees to issue trading shares as
         consideration  for  a  mineral  property  or  an  option  on a  mineral
         property,  the value of which is not  supported by a current  valuation
         opinion, will generally be required to meet the following conditions:

         (a)      The  consideration  must  consist  of not  more  than  200,000
                  trading  shares  issuable in no fewer than four  blocks,  each
                  block consisting of not more than 50,000 trading shares.

         (b)      One block of shares may be issued prior to the date the issuer
                  s shares are  listed,  posted  and  called for  trading on the
                  Exchange.

         (c)      The  remaining  blocks of shares may be issued in stages  upon
                  the  filing  with  the   Exchange  of   engineering   reports,
                  acceptable to the Exchange,  recommending  further work on the
                  mineral property.

         at the time of its IPO includes

         (a)      for a natural resource issuer, expenses incurred

issuer's IPO proceeds are to be spent, and

                  (ii)    in exploring and developing other resource properties,
                          provided  that  these   expenses  do  not  exceed  the
                          expenses referred to in paragraph (i), and

     (b) for an industrial  issuer,  expenses incurred in respect of the project
or business to be financed by the issuer's IPO proceeds.

6.6      Exclusion of amounts by Superintendent-  The Superintendent may require
         that an amount be  excluded  from the  determination  of the  number of
         trading   shares  that  may  be  issued  under  this  Part  if  in  the
         circumstances  he  considers  that to include any such amount  would be
         inappropriate or unconscionable.  For example, the Superintendent would
         question the  appropriateness  of issuing  trading  shares for non-cash
         assets unrelated to the issuer's stated business purpose at the time of
         its IPO or for excessive administrative expenses .

PART 7            ISSUANCE OF PERFORMANCE SHARES

     7.1 Issuance to principals -  Performance  shares may be issued for cash to
the ---------------------- principals of an issuer

     (a) to provide the  principals  with a measure of control to facilitate the
development of the issuer in an orderly fashion,

     (b) to provide an incentive for the  principals  to diligently  support the
affairs of the issuer, and

     (c) to provide an incentive for the  principals  to  contribute  management
services or fundamental assets to the issuer.

7.2      Natural  resource  issuer - A natural  resource issuer may issue to its
         principals up to a total of 750,000  performance  shares,  at a minimum
         price of $.01 per share.

                                                 -8-

7.3      Industrial issuer - An industrial  issuer may issue performance  shares
         to its principals,  at a minimum price of $.01 per share, provided that
         the resulting performance share percentage does not exceed 65%.

7.4      Escrow requirement - Performance shares are required to be escrowed. It
         should be noted that the higher the performance share  percentage,  the
         more difficult it becomes to obtain a release of the performance shares
         from  escrow.  The table  attached as  Appendix B to this local  policy
         statement  provides  some  examples  of the  operation  of the  release
         provisions  for  industrial  issuers  set out in  Part 9 of this  local
         policy statement .

7.5      Escrow  agreement  - Prior to or at the time of  acquiring  performance
         shares,  principals must execute an escrow agreement.  The certificates
         representing the performance  shares must be registered in the names of
         the  holders  of the  shares and  deposited  with the  escrow  agent in
         accordance with the terms of the escrow agreement. Only a trust company
         carrying on business in British  Columbia or a company  approved by the
         Superintendent may act as an escrow agent.

7.6      Limitations  on rights of holders  of  performance  shares-  The escrow
         agreement  provides  that the holders of  performance  shares waive any
         rights attached to those shares to receive  dividends or to participate
         in  the  assets  and  property  of  the  issuer  on  a  winding  up  or
         dissolution.  Holders of performance shares do retain the right to vote
         those shares, except on a resolution respecting their cancellation.

7.7      Rights on ceasing to be a  principal  - The escrow  agreement  requires
         that  the  parties  to it set  out  in  the  agreement  any  rights  or
         obligations  of a person who ceases to be a principal,  dies or becomes
         bankrupt  to  retain,   transfer  or   surrender   to  the  issuer  for
         cancellation any performance shares then held by the person.

7.8      Undertaking  of holding  company - Where  performance  shares are to be
         issued to a non-reporting  or closely held company,  wherever  situate,
         rather than to an individual, the company must, prior to or at the time
         of acquiring the performance shares, execute an undertaking in the form
         attached  as  Appendix  C  to  this  local  policy  statement.  In  the
         undertaking, the company agrees not to effect or permit any transfer of
         ownership of shares of the company nor to issue  further  shares of any
         class in the company without the consent of the  Superintendent  or the
         Exchange,  so long as the company continues to hold any of the issuer's
         performance  shares.  An application  for consent should be made in the
         same manner as an application  for consent to a transfer of performance
         shares pursuant to Part 8 of this local policy statement.

         securities are listed, posted and called for trading on the Exchange.

9.1      Release of shares of natural  resource  issuer - Holders of performance
         shares of a natural  resource  issuer will be entitled to the  pro-rata
         release of those performance shares on the basis of 15% of the original
         number of performance shares for every $100,000 expended on exploration
         and development of a resource property by

         (a)      the issuer, or

         (b)      a person other than the issuer in order to earn an interest in
                  the resource property,  but only in respect of that proportion
                  of  the   expenditure   equal   to  the   issuer's   remaining
                  proportionate  interest  in the  resource  property  after the
                  person's interest has been earned,

9.3      Release of shares of industrial issuer - Holders of performance  shares
         of an industrial  issuer will be entitled to the pro-rata  release of a
         number of  performance  shares equal to the amount of  cumulative  cash
         flow, not previously  applied towards release,  divided by the earn-out
         price.

9.4      Adjustment of release  calculation - On a  consolidation,  subdivision,
         amalgamation or  reclassification  of the issuer's shares,  the release
         calculation  must be adjusted so that the proportion of the outstanding

         consolidation, subdivision, amalgamation or reclassification .

PART 11           OTHER CONSIDERATION

11.1  Natural  resource  issuer - Where a natural  resource  issuer  proposes to
acquire from a person a resource  property or an option on a resource  property,
the  value of which is not  supported  by a  valuation  opinion,  the  following
principles apply:

     (a) In an arm's  length  transaction,  the issuer  may pay the person  cash
consideration.

         (b)      In an arm's  length  transaction,  the issuer may agree to pay
                  the  person  additional  consideration  at  such  time  as the
                  resource  property  commences  commercial   production.   Such
                  additional  consideration may, depending on the circumstances,
                  consist of cash  consideration,  reasonable  payments from net
                  profits, securities, or any combination of these.

         (c)      In a  non-arm's  length  transaction,  the  issuer may pay the
                  person  cash  consideration  up to the  amount  of the  out of
                  pocket costs incurred by the person in respect of the resource
                  property, determined in accordance with section 5.3.

     (d) In a  non-arms  length  transaction,  the  issuer  may agree to pay the
person additional  consideration at such time as the resource property commences
commercial  production,  where the person has carried out extensive  exploration
with  results  that  indicate  that  the  resource   property  appears  to  have
substantial  merit.  The  extent  of the  person's  effort,  skill  and  risk in
developing   the   resource   property   will  be  taken  into  account  by  the
Superintendent  in determining  whether  additional  consideration is justified.
Such additional  consideration may,  depending on the circumstances,  consist of
cash  consideration,  reasonable payments from net profits,  securities,  or any
combination  of these.  A 15% net profits  interest would normally be considered
reasonable.

11.2     Industrial issuer - Where an industrial issuer proposes to acquire from
         a person  non-cash  assets,  the value of which are not  supported by a
         valuation opinion, the following principles apply:

     (a) In an arm's  length  transaction,  the issuer  may pay the person  cash
consideration, a royalty or a combination of these.

                                                 -14-

         (b)      In a  non-arm's  length  transaction,  the  issuer may pay the
                  person  cash  consideration  up to the  amount  of the  out of
                  pocket costs incurred by the person in respect of the non-cash
                  assets, determined in accordance with section 5.3.
