Pursuant to the rules of the TSX-V, including Policy 2.4, and in compliance with the British Columbia Business Corporations Act and the constating documents of Sojourn, the Transaction will not be subject to shareholder approval, but remains subject to TSXV acceptance. Sojourn will prepare a TSX-V compliant filing statement in conjunction with the Transaction.

If Sojourn does not incur $100,000 in exploration expenditures on the Property by August 1, 2013, it will be required to pay penalty equal to the difference between $100,000 and the amount of such expenditures is has incurred by such date to maintain the option agreement in good standing.

A finder’s fee will be payable in accordance with TSXV policies in connection with the Transaction.

The Property

The Property is located 105 kilometers northwest of Campbell River, British Columbia and consists of 25 claims totalling 10,358.57 hectares. The Property lies in an area of high geological potential. The Property is underlain by Eocene Mt. Washington Intrusive Suite quartz diorites in the North and Central portion. A thin band of Triassic Quatsino limestone runs through the length of the property and is intruded by the quartz diorites in two locations on the property. Anomalous gold stream sediment geochemistry is associated with the intrusive contacts of the quartz diorite proximal to the limestone. Two mineralized occurrences are present on the property.

A Phase One exploration program was previously completed by Gold Ridge Exploration Corp. which consisted of 619 soil samples, 42 rock samples and 34 silt samples covering 4 target areas identified by previous operators. Approximately $110,000 was spent on the exploration program which was successful in identifying two zones hosting anomalous values of gold and copper.

It is Sojourn’s intention to complete a Phase 2 program of combined geochemistry and geophysics supplemented with geological mapping and prospecting, estimated at $221,300. Subsequently, contingent on the Phase 2 results, a Phase 3 program of 2000m of diamond drilling will be undertaken, estimated at $500,000.

Management

No changes to the board or management of Sojourn will be made in connection with the Transaction. The Sojourn board will continue to consist of Joel Dumaresq (CEO), John Meekison (CFO), Donald Lay and Brien Lundin.

It is Sojourn’s intention to seek an exemption from sponsorship requirements on the basis that there are no management changes, and the Property was recently reviewed by the TSXV in connection with the Initial Public Offering of Goldridge Exploration Corp. on May 3, 2012.
