<p><B>Item 1. Description of Registrant&#146;s Securities to be Registered.</B></p>
<p> <B>Description.</B></p>
<p> This Form 8-A12B hereby registers the Registrant&#146;s class of common shares
  without par value (the &#147;Common Shares&#148;). The authorized capital of
  the Registrant consists of 100,000,000 Common Shares and the Registrant has
  no other class of shares. As at December 31, 2003, the Registrant had 69,285,290
  fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares issued and outstanding.</p>
<p> All Common Shares rank equally as to (i) voting rights, (ii) dividend rights,
  and (iii) participation in a distribution of the assets of the Registrant in
  the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Registrant. In
  the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Registrant or other
  distribution of its assets, holders of the Common Shares will be entitled to
  receive on a pro rata basis, all of the net assets remaining after the Registrant
  has discharged its liabilities.</p>
<p> Distributions in the form of dividends, if any, are determined by the Board
  of Directors. Dividends are not cumulative. The Registrant is limited in its
  ability to pay dividends on its Common Shares by certain provisions of the <I>Company
  Act </I>(British Columbia) relating to the sufficiency of the profits from which
  dividends may be paid. The Registrant has not historically paid dividends on
  its Common Shares nor does it expect to do so in the foreseeable future.</p>
<p> Holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive notice of all meetings of
  shareholders and to attend and to vote at such meetings. Each Common Share carries
  with it the right to one vote. The Common Shares do not have cumulative voting,
  pre-emptive, purchase or conversion rights. There are no sinking fund provisions
  in relation to the Common Shares and holders of Common Shares are not liable
  to further calls or to assessment by the Registrant.</p>
<p> There are no restrictions on the repurchase or redemption of the Common Shares
  by the Registrant provided that such purchase or redemption: </p>
