requirements and restrictions required by the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange

going costs associated with having its common shares listed on the TSX, the Company has
applied for voluntary delisting of its common shares from the TSX. Th e Company intends to
transition the listing of its common shares onto the TSX Venture Exchange under the
existing ticker "NRE". Application for listing has been made to the TSXV and the Company is
providing the necessary documentation to complete the listi ng process. The listing on the
TSXV is subject to final approval and acceptance by the TSXV. One of the conditions of
listing is the amendment of the Plan by the shareholders. The Company expects the
delisting of its shares from the TSX and the transition to the TSXV to happen simultaneously
and the Company will issue a further press release once the date has been determined.
