AND WHEREAS the Filer has applied to the Commission for an order pursuant to section 144 of the Act revoking the Cease Trade Order;

AND WHEREAS the Filer has represented to the Commission that:

1. The Filer was incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario on July 13, 1999.

4. As at the date hereof, the authorized capital of the Filer consists of an unlimited number of common shares of which 18,944,281 are issued and outstanding.

5. Other than the Cease Trade Order the Filer has not previously been subject to a cease trade order.

6. The Cease Trade Order was issued as a result of the Filer's failure to file, in accordance with the requirements of Ontario securities law, annual financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2008 (the "Annual Financial Statements"); the related Management Discussion and Analysis (the "Annual MD&A") for the year ended September 30, 2008 and corresponding certificates under National Instrument 52-109 -- Certification of Disclosure in Issuer's Annual and Interim Filings for the year ended September 30, 2009 (the "NI 52-109 Certificates").

11. The Filer failed to file the above noted disclosure documents in a timely matter because of an ongoing dispute among the board of directors as to the general direction of the Filer and the composition of its management team.

17. Following the revocation of the Cease Trade Order, the Filer intends to raise capital to fund a strategic arrangement with Canadian Imperial Venture Corp. and Shoal Point Energy Limited to pursue exploration and production opportunities in the Green Point Formation located in Western Newfoundland, as more particularly described in the press release filed on SEDAR on December 4, 2009 by the Filer.

18. The Filer's issuer profiles on SEDAR and SEDI are up-to-date.

19. Upon the issuance of this revocation order, the Filer will issue a news release and file a material change report on SEDAR.
