AND WHEREAS the Ontario Cease Trade Order was made on the basis that the Applicant was in default of certain filing requirements under Ontario securities law as described in the Ontario Cease Trade Order;
AND WHEREAS the Applicant has applied to the Commission pursuant to section 144 of the Act for a revocation of the Ontario Cease Trade Order;
AND UPON the Applicant having represented to the Commission that:

3. The common shares of the Applicant are listed and posted for trading on the NEX board of the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol TZT.H, with trading on the common shares of the Applicant currently suspended.
4.

5. As a result of the failure to make the filings described in the Ontario Cease Trade Order the Applicant was also subject to similar cease trade orders issued by the British Columbia Securities Commission (the "BCSC") on May 8, 2013 (the "BC Cease Trade Order"), the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (the "AMF") on May 28, 2013 (the "AMF Cease Trade Order") and the Alberta Securities Commission (the "ASC") on August 7, 2013 (the "ASC Cease Trade Order"). The BC Cease Trade Order, the AMF Cease Trade Order and the ASC Cease Trade Order were revoked on May 30, 2014.
6. Since the issuance of the Ontario Cease Trade Order, the Applicant has filed the following continuous disclosure documents with the Reporting Jurisdictions:
a. The 2012 Annual Filings;

The Applicant's actions in entering into a definitive agreement and holding a shareholders' meeting to approve the business combination may have contravened the terms of the Ontario Cease Trade Order.
