Its registered office is located at 93 Gloucester Street, Toronto, Ontario M4Y 1M2 and its head office is located at Suite 208, 905 West Pender Street, Vancouver, BC, V6C 1L6. On December 15, 1999, the Applicant filed Articles of Amendment removing the restrictions in the transfer of its common shares. On September 16, 2002, the Applicant filed Articles of Amendment subdividing its issued and outstanding common shares on the basis of three (3) new common shares for one (1) old common share of the Applicant.

2. The Applicant has an authorized share capital consisting of an unlimited number of common shares, of which 42,676,511 common shares were issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2008.

3. The Applicant is a Tier 2 issuer in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the Exchange). The Applicant's outstanding common shares are listed and posted for trade on the Exchange under the symbol "GVG".

4. The Applicant intends to apply (the Application for Continuance) to the Director under the OBCA for authorization to continue under the Business Corporation Act, S.B.C. 2002, c. 57 (the BCBCA) pursuant to section 181 of the OBCA (the Continuance). Pursuant to subsection 4(b) of the Regulation, where a corporation is an offering corporation, the Application for Continuance must be accompanied by a consent for the Commission.

5. The Applicant is an offering corporation under the OBCA and is a reporting issuer under the Securities Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. S.5, as amended (the Act). The Applicant is also a reporting issuer or its equivalent under the securities legislation of the province of British Columbia and Alberta (collectively, the Legislation).

6. The Applicant intends to remain a reporting issuer under the Act and the Legislation after the Continuance.

7. The Applicant is not in default of any of the provision of the Act or the regulations or rules made thereunder and is not in default under the securities legislation of any other jurisdiction where it is a reporting issuer or its equivalent.

8. The Applicant is not in default of any of the rules, regulations or policies of the Exchange.

9. The Applicant is not a party to any proceeding or, to the best of its knowledge, information and belief, pending proceeding under the Act.

11. The management information circular of the Applicant dated May 21, 2008, provided to all the Shareholders in connection with the Meeting, included a summary of the differences between the BCBCA and the OBCA and advised Shareholders of their dissent rights in connection with the Continuance pursuant to Section 185 of the OBCA.

12. The material rights, duties and obligations of a corporation governed by the BCBCA are substantially similar to those of a corporation governed by the OBCA.

13. The Continuance is proposed to be made because the Applicant believes it to be in the best interest to continue as a corporation and conduct its affairs in accordance with the laws of the Province of British Columbia because

a) the Applicant's officers are resident of British Columbia;

b) the majority of the Applicant's directors are residents of British Columbia;

c) the Applicant's auditors and legal advisors are based in British Columbia.

THE COMMISSION HEREBY CONSENTS to the continuance of the Applicant as a corporation under the BCBCA.
