Corporate Governance Disclosure - Gender Diversity Policies

Set out below is the Company's corporate governance disclosure related to its gender diversity policies, as required by National Instrument 58-101. This disclosure was erroneously omitted from the Company's management information circular in respect of its 2015 annual and special shareholder meeting.
