Purchases subject to the NCIB will be carried out pursuant to open market transactions through the facilities of the TSX Venture Exchange and the price which the Company will pay for the Common Shares acquired by it will be the market price of the Common Shares at the time of acquisition. PI Financial Corp, Calgary, Alberta will conduct the NCIB on behalf of the Company. All Common Shares purchased by CNRI under the NCBI will be cancelled.
