(TSX VENTURE:SOI) announces that it has received the conditional approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) with respect to the amendment of its stock option plan (the “Plan”).

- elimination of the vesting provisions with respect to the exercise of options, except for persons performing investor relations activities; and
- extension of the period to exercise options following a retirement, a resignation or a termination of employment, such period being 12 months instead of 60 days.
The amendment to the Plan remains subject to the final approval of the Exchange.
