12. Upon the issuance of this revocation order, the Issuer will issue a news release and file a material change report on SEDAR to announce the revocation of the Cease Trade Order and to outline the Issuer's future plans.
AND UPON considering the Application and the recommendation of the staff of the Commission;
AND UPON considering that it would not be prejudicial to the public interest to revoke the Cease Trade Order;
IT IS ORDERED pursuant to section 144 of the Act that the Cease Trade Order is revoked.
