On September 25, 2009, the Registrant issued a press release announcing the closing of the sale of 1.32 million common shares, pursuant to the underwriters’ exercise of the over-allotment option, which the Company granted in connection with its recently-closed public offering of common shares.  Consistent with the public offering of common shares that closed on September 21, 2009, the 1.32 million common shares were sold to the underwriters at the public offering price of US$2.25 per common share.  The over-allotment and the recently-closed public offering were made pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and a shelf prospectus filed with certain Canadian securities regulatory authorities.  With the sale of the additional 1.32 million common shares to the underwriters, 10.12 million common shares in total have been sold in connection with the offering.  A copy of the press release is attached to this report as Exhibit 99.1.
