                                      warrants (TSX-V: GCM.WT). Each warrant
                                      entitles the holder to purchase 0.25 of

No fractional shares will be issued if, as a result of the consolidation, a registered shareholder would otherwise become entitled to a fractional common share by virtue of holding common shares that are not in a multiple of four. Any fractional shares resulting from the consolidation will be converted by the Company into whole shares on the basis that each fractional share that is less than half of a share will be cancelled and each fractional share that is at least half of a share will be changed to one whole common share.
