April 27, 2006
Toronto, Ontario (April 27, 2006) –
Westwind Partners Inc. acted as lead agent, on a best efforts basis. Terms of the Agency Agreement between Westwind Partners Inc. and Pinetree, can be found on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
In connection with the financing, an aggregate of 74,000 common shares were issued to related parties and their associated entities. The filing of a material change report relating to the financing will occur less than 21 days before the closing date of the financing, however, Pinetree believes that this is reasonable and necessary as the information contained in the material change report was not previously available to Pinetree.
