VOTING

VOTING OF SHARES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF

As of August 15th, 2006there were 27,300,203 common shares outstanding, each carrying the right to one vote per share.  The Board of Directors fixed the close of business on August 28, 2006, as the record date for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to receive notice of the meeting, but failure to receive a notice does not deprive a shareholder of the right to vote those shares at the meeting upon producing properly endorsed share certificates, or otherwise establishing share ownership, and demanding the inclusion of his name in the list of shareholders not later than ten days before the date of the meeting.

To the knowledge of the directors and officers of the Corporation, as at August 15, 2006,  the following shareholders beneficially own or exercise control or direction over more than 5% of the common shares of the Corporation:

Name of Shareholder	No. of Shares	% of Issued Shares
Current Capital Corp	1,700,000	6.23 %
Snapper Inc.	2,636,120	9.66 %
Pinetree Resource Partnership	7,612,000	27.88%

PROVISIONS RELATING TO VOTING OF PROXIES

Proxies are only voted when a poll is required.  A poll is a vote by written ballot which gives one vote for each common share registered in the name of the member.

IF THERE IS CERTAINTY OF INSTRUCTIONS, THE PERSON NAMED IN THE ENCLOSED PROXY WILL VOTE (EXCEPT WHERE THERE IS A DIRECTION TO WITHHOLD VOTING) THE SHARES IN RESPECT OF WHICH HE OR SHE IS APPOINTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DIRECTIONS OF THE MEMBER APPOINTING THE PROXY HOLDER.  IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH DIRECTIONS, IT IS INTENDED THAT SUCH SHARES WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOUR OF THE MOTIONS PROPOSED TO BE MADE AT THE MEETING AS REFERRED TO IN THE ATTACHED NOTICE OF MEETING.  IF TWO DIRECTIONS ARE MADE IN RESPECT TO ANY MATTER, SUCH SHARES WILL SIMILARLY BE VOTED FOR THE ADOPTION OF SUCH MATTER.

The enclosed Form of Proxy confers discretionary authority upon the person named therein with respect to any amendment, variation or other matter to come before the meeting, other than the matters referred to in the Notice of Meeting, HOWEVER IF ANY SUCH AMENDMENTS, VARIATION OR OTHER MATTERS WHICH ARE NOT NOW KNOWN TO MANAGEMENT SHOULD PROPERLY COME BEFORE THE MEETING, THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THE PROXIES HEREBY SOLICITED WILL BE VOTED THEREON IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE BEST JUDGEMENT OF THE PERSON OR PERSONS VOTING SUCH PROXIES.

VOTING BY NON-REGISTERED SHAREHOLDERS

Only registered shareholders or the persons they appoint as their proxies are permitted to vote at the meeting. However, in many cases, common shares owned by a person (a “non-registered holder”) are registered either (a) in the name of an intermediary (an “Intermediary”) that the non-registered holder deals with in respect of the common shares (Intermediaries include, among others, banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers and trustees or administrators of self-administered registered savings plans, registered retirement income funds, registered education savings plans and similar plans); or (b) in the name of a clearing agency (such as The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited (“CDS”)) of which the Intermediary is a participant. In accordance with the requirements of NI 54-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators, the Company has distributed copies of the Management Information Circular, the accompany ing Notice of Meeting together with the form of proxy and a supplemental mailing list form (collectively, the “Meeting Materials”) to the clearing agencies and Intermediaries for onward distribution to non-registered holders of common shares.

Intermediaries are required to forward the Meeting Materials to non-registered holders unless a non registered holder has waived the right to receive them. Very often, Intermediaries will use service companies to forward the Meeting Materials to non-registered holders. Generally, non-registered holders who have not waived the right to receive Meeting Materials will either:

a)

be given a form of proxy which has already been signed by the Intermediary (typically by a facsimile stamped signature), which is restricted as to the number and class of securities beneficially owned by the non-registered holder but which is not otherwise completed. Because the Intermediary has already signed the form of proxy, this form of proxy is not required to be signed by the non-registered holder when submitting the proxy. In this case, the non-registered holder who wishes to vote by proxy should otherwise properly complete the form of proxy and deliver it as specified above under “Appointment of Proxies”; or

b)

be given a form of proxy which is not signed by the Intermediary and which, when properly completed and signed by the non-registered holder and returned to the Intermediary or its service company, will constitute voting instructions (often called a “Voting Instruction Form”) which the Intermediary must follow. Typically the non-registered holder will also be given a page of instructions, which contains a removable label containing a bar code and other information. In order for the form of proxy to validly constitute a Voting Instruction Form, the non-registered holder must remove the label from the instructions and affix it to the Voting Instruction Form, properly complete and sign the Voting Instruction Form and submit it to the Intermediary or its services company in accordance with the instructions of the Intermediary or its service company.

In either case, the purpose of this procedure is to permit non-registered holders to direct the voting of the common shares they beneficially own. Should a non-registered holder who receives either form of proxy wish to vote at the Meeting in person, the non-registered holder should strike out the persons named in the form of proxy and insert the non-registered holder’s name in the blank space provided. Non-registered holders should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediary including those regarding when and where the form of proxy or Voting Instruction Form is to be delivered.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, none of the directors of the Corporation received any fees or retainers for acting as directors.  The two independent directors were issued 20,000 common shares each during the year for their services as audit committee members.

Report on executive compensation

The Corporation’s primary concern in compensating executive officers is to provide a lower level of fixed cash compensation, but to provide through profit sharing, stock appreciation rights, or bonuses, strong incentives for the executive officers to ensure their continuing commitment to the Corporation, its overall performance, and stock performance for the Corporation’s shareholders.

The Corporation’s goal is to provide each executive officer with incentives for performance of the business unit in which the executive officer is involved. In the case of the executive officers who have involvement in more than one business unit, the Corporation places more emphasis on the overall profitability of the Corporation and the returns to shareholders of the Corporation through increases in stock prices.

Severance agreements

The Company has entered into consulting agreements with both The Chief Executive Officer who also acts as Chief Financial Officer and its key consultant. The agreement generally provides for the payment of severance benefits if the named executives are terminated by the company, owing to a change in control or any other reasons, other than for cause. The named executives will receive a lump sum severance payment of $250,000.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

Pursuant to the provisions of Multilateral Instrument 52-110 (the “Instrument”), the Corporation’s Audit Committee has adopted a written charter (the “Charter”) that sets out its mandate and responsibilities. As the Company is a “venture issuer” (as defined in the Instrument), it is relying on the exemptions provided to it with respect to audit committee reporting obligations.

The Audit Committee is presently comprised of Dean Bradley and Damian Lee, both of whom are “independent” and “financially literate” within the meanings given to those terms in the Instrument.

During the Corporation’s most recently completed fiscal year, the Corporation’s auditors did not perform any non-audit services. Audit Fees charged by the Company’s auditors during the last two fiscal years are as follows:

	2006	2005
	accrual	actual
Audit	25,000	25,000
Other services	-	1,050
	$25,000	$26,050

APPOINTMENT OF AUDITORS – PROPOSAL NUMBER THREE

Unless such authority is withheld, the persons named in the accompanying proxy intend to vote for the reappointment of Schwartz Levitsky Feldman LLP, Chartered Accountants, as auditors of the Corporation for the ensuing year, and to authorize the directors to fix their remuneration and/or appoint another auditor in the event of a material event if deemed necessary.  Schwartz Levitsky Feldman LLP, Chartered Accountants, were first appointed auditors of the Corporation during the 2006 fiscal year, they replaced Sloan Paskowitz Adleman LLP, Chartered Accountants, who were appointed during the 2004 fiscal year and resigned since they discontinued public company auditing work.  

ISSUE OF SHARES AND OPTIONS FOR SERVICES RENDERED  –  PROPOSAL FOUR

The purpose of stock compensation and stock options plans is to develop the interest of directors, officers, employees and non-employees such as consultants who provide bona fide services -- other than services rendered in connection with the offer and sale of securities in a capital raising transaction -- to the Corporation and its subsidiaries.  By providing such persons with the opportunity to acquire an increased proprietary interest, the Corporation may be able to attract and retain persons of desired experience and ability without excessive drain on its cash resources.

The shareholders are now asked to pass a special resolution authorizing directors to introduce any additional compensation and or stock options plans as deemed necessary and to allow discretion to the directors to fix option price/ compensation share price and to issue compensation shares and stock options under these plans as they see fit.  

STOCK SPLIT OR CONSOLIDATION – PROPOSALS FIVE AND SIX

The management believes that the corporation may have to deal with acquisitions and private placements situations in the pursuit of its new business strategy. These situations may have profound effect on the number of shares to be issued and on the market price of these shares.  

The shareholders are therefore asked to pass a special resolution authorizing directors to either split the issued capital of the Corporation such that up to fifteen new common shares would be issued in exchange for one old issued common shares of the Corporation or consolidate the issued capital of the Corporation such that one share be issued in exchange for up to fifteen old issued common shares of the Corporation, at their sole discretion until the next Annual Meeting.

Approval of one action– stock split or consolidation – will automatically prohibit the second action to be taken during the same period.

NAME CHANGE – PROPOSAL SEVEN

The Management is of the opinion a new name may be desirable for the Corporation if it better reflects its current business strategy or if it acquires a new business which may have a different business strategy than its current one.   

The shareholders are therefore asked to pass a special resolution authorizing the directors to change the name of the Corporation to some other name at their sole discretion and subject to its acceptance by the Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations.

CHANGE OF JURISDICTION – PROPOSAL EIGHT

Management believes that the Corporation may be able to raise further funds more easily and reduce its compliance costs if it incorporates in the USA.  

The Shareholders are therefore asked to consider and approve a special resolution to amend the Articles of the Corporation to move its reporting jurisdiction to the State of Delaware or any other State in the USA at the discretion of the directors of the Corporation.

A HOLDER OF SHARES ENTITLED TO VOTE ON THE RESOLUTION MAY DISSENT. SUCH DISSENTING SHAREHOLDER WILL BE ENTITLED TO BE PAID THE FAIR VALUE OF THE SHARES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE ONTARIO BUSINESS CORPORATION ACT.

OTHER MATTERS WHICH MAY COME BEFORE THE MEETING

Management knows of no other matters to come before the Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders other than as set forth in the Notice of Meeting.  HOWEVER, IF OTHER MATTERS, WHICH ARE NOT KNOWN TO MANAGEMENT, SHOULD PROPERLY COME BEFORE THE MEETING, THE ACCOMPANYING PROXY WILL BE VOTED ON SUCH MATTERS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE BEST JUDGMENT OF THE PERSON HOLDING THE PROXY.

INTEREST OF INFORMED PERSONS IN MATERIAL TRANSACTIONS

Other than as disclosed in this and previous Information Circulars, no insider, proposed nominee for election as a director, or any associate or affiliate of the foregoing, had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction or proposed transaction since April 1, 2006 which has materially affected or would materially affect the Company or its subsidiaries

CERTIFICATE OF APPROVAL OF DIRECTORS

The foregoing does not contain any untrue statements of a material fact and does not omit a material fact that is required to be stated. This Information Circular and the mailing of the same to shareholders has been approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation

DATED this 15th day of August 2006.
