I have also made such further investigations as I have deemed necessary to express the opinions herein stated. Based on that investigation, it is my opinion that the common shares of Txon International Development Corporation which are hereafter issued upon exercise of options duly granted under and in accordance with the terms of the Plan will, upon payment of the consideration therefore required by the terms of the Plan, be duly and validly authorized and issued, fully paid and non-assessable. I consent to the use of this opinion as an Exhibit to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to the Shares issued under the Plan, and to any references to me in such Registration Statement. Very truly yours, /s/ James N. Barber James N. Barber
