CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
     As of the end of the registrant’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the registrant’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) was carried out by the registrant’s management with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer. Based upon that evaluation, the registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that as of the end of that fiscal year, the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the registrant in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the registrant’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
     It should be noted that while the registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer believe that the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures provide a reasonable level of assurance that they are effective, they do not expect that the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.
INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
     During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, there were no changes in the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-14(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).
AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT
     Mr. Douglas Holtby serves as a member of the audit committee of the Registrant’s Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has reviewed the definition of “audit committee financial expert” under item 8(a) of General Instruction B to Form 40-F and determined that Mr. Holtby satisfies the criteria for an audit committee financial expert under the Exchange Act. The SEC has indicated that the designation of Mr. Holtby as an audit committee financial expert does not make Mr. Holtby an “expert” for any purpose, impose any duties, obligations or liability on Mr. Holtby that are greater than those imposed on members of the audit committee and board of directors who do not carry this designation or affect the duties, obligations or liability of any other member of the audit committee.
IDENTIFICATION OF AUDIT COMMITTEE
     The Registrant has a separately designated standing Audit Committee. The current members of the Audit Committee are Douglas Holtby, Larry Bell and Brian Jones, each of whom is independent as such term is defined under applicable securities laws and applicable New York Stock Exchange rules. The information contained under the heading “Audit Committee” of the Registrant’s 2005 Annual Information Form, filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this annual report on Form 40-F, is incorporated herein by reference.
CODE OF ETHICS
     The Registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the Registrant’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer. A copy of Registrant’s code of ethics is available without charge, upon request made to the Director, Investor Relations at Suite 1560, Waterfront Centre, 200 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 3L6 Canada.
