Our 2010 Notice of Annual Meeting, Proxy Statement and Annual Report are available at: www.edocumentreview.com/THMG

PURPOSES OF ANNUAL MEETING

Election of Directors

At the Annual Meeting, shareholders entitled to vote (see “Voting at Annual Meeting”) will be asked to consider and take action on the election of seven individuals to the Corporation’s Board of Directors to each serve until the next annual meeting or until his successor shall have been elected and shall have qualified. See “Election of Directors”.

At the Annual Meeting, shareholders entitled to vote (see "Voting at Annual Meeting") will be asked to consider and take action to approve a Stock Option Plan. See "Ratification and approval of Stock Option Plan”.

Ratification of Auditors

At the Annual Meeting, shareholders entitled to vote (see “Voting at Annual Meeting”) will be asked to consider and take action to ratify the appointment of independent auditors. See “Ratification of Auditors”.

Other Business

To transact other matters as may properly come before the Annual meeting, postponement(s) or any adjournment(s) thereof. See "Other Matters".

VOTING AT ANNUAL MEETING AND PRINCIPAL SECURITY HOLDERS

General

The close of business on the Record Date of May 2, 2011 has been fixed as the record date for determination of the shareholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting (the "Record Date"). As of the Record Date, there were issued and outstanding 27,006,299 shares of Common Stock entitled to vote. A majority of such shares will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. The holders of record on the Record Date of the shares entitled to be voted at the Annual Meeting are entitled to cast one vote per share on each matter submitted to a vote at the Annual Meeting. All action proposed herein may be taken upon a favorable vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Common Stock, present at the meeting in person or by proxy.

Proxies

Shares of Common Stock which are entitled to be voted at the Annual Meeting and which are represented by properly executed proxies will be voted in accordance with the instructions indicated in such proxies. If no instructions are indicated, such shares will be voted: (1) FOR election of seven directors; (2) FOR the ratification and approval of the Stock Option Plan; (3) FOR ratification of DeCoria, Maichel & Teague P.S. as independent auditors; and (4) in accordance with the best judgment of the named proxies on any other matters properly brought before the Annual Meeting.

A shareholder who has executed and returned a proxy may revoke it at any time before it is voted at the Annual Meeting by timely executing and returning, by Internet, mail, or in person at the Annual Meeting, a proxy bearing a later date, by giving written notice of revocation to the Secretary of the Company, or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person or delivering instruction to the Company via email and with written confirmation. A proxy is not revoked by the death or incompetence of the maker unless, before the authority granted thereunder is exercised, written notice of such death or incompetence is received by the Company from the executor or administrator of the estate or from a fiduciary having control of the shares represented by such proxy.

The indication of an abstention on a proxy or the failure to vote either by proxy or in person will be treated as neither a vote "for" nor "against" the election of any director. Each of the other matters must be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote. Abstention from voting will have the practical effect of voting against these matters since it is one less vote for approval. The shares of a shareholder whose ballot on any or all proposals is marked as “abstain” will be included in the number of shares present at the Annual Meeting for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum.

Broker non-votes, shares held by brokers or custodians for the accounts of others as to which voting instructions have not been given, will be treated as shares that are present for determining a quorum, but will not be counted for purposes of determining the number of votes cast with respect to a proposal. If you are the beneficial owner of shares held by a broker or other custodian, you may instruct your broker how you would like your shares voted through the voting instruction form included with this Proxy Statement.

If you wish to vote the shares you own beneficially at the meeting, you must first request and obtain a “legal proxy” from your broker or other custodian. If you choose not to provide instructions or a legal proxy, your shares are referred to as “uninstructed shares.” Whether your broker or custodian has the discretion to vote these shares on your behalf is routine matters for consideration at the meeting, in this case, item 3, the ratification of the appointment of our independent auditors for 2011. Prior to January 1, 2010 brokers and custodians were allowed to vote uninstructed shares in uncontested director elections. Beginning January 1, 2010, brokers and custodians can no longer vote uninstructed shares on your behalf in director elections. For your vote to be counted, you must submit your voting instruction form to your broker or custodian.


Proposal Number	Item	Votes Required for Approval	Abstentions	Uninstructed Shares
1	Election of Directors	Majority of shares cast	Not counted	Not voted
2	Approve Stock Option Plan	Majority of shares cast	Not counted	Not Voted
3	Ratification of Independent Auditors	Majority of shares cast	Not counted	Discretionary vote

The Company will bear all the costs and expenses relating to the solicitation of proxies, including the costs of preparing, printing and mailing this Proxy Statement and accompanying material to shareholders. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by use of the mails, the directors, officers, and employees of the Company, without additional compensation, may solicit proxies personally or by telephone or telegram.

Persons and groups who beneficially own in excess of 5% of our shares of common stock are required to file certain reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding such ownership pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The following table sets forth, as of December 31, 2010, the shares of our common stock beneficially owned by each person known to us who was the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of our common stock.


Name	Number of Shares Owned	Percent of Common Stock Outstanding
E. James Collord	1,703,200(2)(3)	6.38.4%
Eric T. Jones	1,978,577(2)	7.3%

PROPOSAL 1: TO ELECT DIRECTORS

Nominees for election of Directors

It is intended that the proxies solicited hereby will be voted for election of the nominees for directors listed below, unless authority to do so has been withheld. The Board of Directors knows of no reason why its nominees will be unable to accept election. However, if a nominee becomes unable to accept election, the Board will either reduce the number of directors to be elected or select a substitute nominee. If a substitute nominee is selected, proxies will be voted in favor of such nominee.

The Board has no reason to believe that any of the nominees will be unwilling or unable to serve as a director.

Under the current bylaws of the Company the proposed term of office for which each nominee is a candidate is until the 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders or until his successor shall have been elected and shall have qualified.

The affirmative vote of the majority of the common shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote, is required for election of each of the directors.

Nominees

Seven directors will be elected at the meeting, each to a one year term, to hold office until the next annual meeting of Shareholders and until such director’s successor shall be elected and shall qualify or until his earlier resignation, removal from office or death.

The names of the nominees, their principal occupations or employment and other data regarding them, based on information received from the respective nominees, are hereinafter set forth:

PROPOSAL 2: RATIFICATION AND APPROVAL OF THE STOCK OPTION PLAN

Introduction

On May 25, 2010, the Board of Directors, subject to shareholder ratification and approval by the TSX-V, approved a Stock Option Plan ("SOP" or the “Plan”). The Plan is a stock-based incentive bonus program, and its purpose is to motivate and reward eligible officers, directors, employees, and consultants for good performance by allowing the issuance of stock options. The Corporation's directors, executive officers, employees and consultants are eligible to receive benefits under the SOP. On August 24, 2010, options proposed pursuant to the Plan, subject to shareholder ratification and approval and TSX-V approval. The securities granted on August 24, 2010 were options to acquire common stock. The exercise price for the options is $0.27 per share, to be paid by cash or check. On August 24, 2010, the closing price bid and ask price of THMG common stock on the OTCQB was $0.24 and $29 per share, respectively.

The following table sets forth the amounts that will be allocated to each of the following under the SOP:

(1)

The Dollar Value of the Stock Option Plan Benefits are undeterminable.

The Plan will be administered by THMG’s Compensation Committee and/or THMG’s Board of Directors. Currently there is no Compensation Committee. The Plan provides for the grant of stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock awards, and incentive awards to eligible individuals, namely President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and/or Principal Financial Officer, Directors, and Advisors.

The Board has approved the Plan subject to the ratification and approval by the shareholders and the Toronto Stock Exchange-Venture Listing.

The following summary highlights selected information about the proposed Plan and may not contain all of the information that is important to you. You should carefully read the entire Plan and entire statement for a complete understanding of the Plan. The Plan is attached as Appendix A.

General. The Plan is a non qualified deferred compensation Plan under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), nor is it subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

Purpose. The purpose of the Plan is to provide an incentive to eligible management, directors, employees, consultants and advisors of the Company whose present and potential contributions are important to the continued success of the Company, to afford these individuals the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company; and to enable the Company to enlist and retain the best available talent for the conduct of its business. It is intended that this purpose will be effected through the granting of Stock Options. However the Plan does provide for the issuance of Common Stock.

Eligibility. Under the Plan eligible individuals affiliated with the Company include: any employees, President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and/or Principal Financial Officer, Directors, and advisors. Advisors are only eligible if they have furnished bona fide services to the Company and the services are not related to the offer or sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction.

Administration. The Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee, or if no Compensation Committee has been appointed then the Board of Directors will administer the Plan (the “administrators”). Currently there is no Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee will have the authority to select, from among eligible persons, the individuals to whom awards will be granted, the number of shares of stock subject to each award, the dates on which the awards will be granted, the pricing and vesting of any awards, to make any combination of awards to any Eligible Participant and to determine the specific terms of each award. The interpretation and construction of any provision of the Plan by the administrators shall be final and conclusive.

Reserved Shares. The Plan provides for “rolling maximum” and “Evergreen” provisions into the Plan(1) The rolling maximum provision provides that the maximum number of Shares issuable under the Plan is a fixed percentage of 10% of the total number of common shares outstanding, which as of March 30, 2011 represented 27,001,740 Shares on a non-diluted basis. The Plan also allows the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan to increase automatically with increases in the total number of Shares outstanding. The Evergreen provisions allowed Shares that are issued upon exercise of options under the Plan to become re-available for grant.

Vesting and Forfeitability. Under the Plan, the vesting of any award is determined by the Compensation Committee.

Stock Options. The Plan permits the granting of non-transferable stock options that either qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code ("Incentive Stock Options" or "ISOs") or do not so qualify ("Nonstatutory Stock Options" or "NSOs"). The term of each option will be fixed by the administrators but may not exceed ten years from the date of grant in the case of ISOs. The administrators will determine the time or times each option may be exercised. Options may be made exercisable in installments, exercisability may be suspended during certain leaves of absence or reductions in work hours and the exercisability of options may be accelerated by the administrators. The option exercise price for each share covered by an ISO will not be less than 100% of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant of such option. The exercise price for any ISO granted to any employee owning more than 10% of our common stock may not be less than 110% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant and such ISO must expire not later than five years after the grant date. ISOs are also subject to various limitations not imposed on NSOs. For example, the aggregate fair market value (determined at the date of grant) of common stock subject to all ISOs held by an Eligible Participant that are first exercisable in any single calendar year cannot exceed $100,000. ISOs may not be transferred other than upon death, or to a revocable trust where the Eligible Participant is considered the sole beneficiary of the stock option while it is held in trust.

The consideration to be paid for shares issued upon exercise of options granted under the Plan, including the method of payment, shall be determined by the administrators and shall consist entirely of cash , check, or wired funds; or (ii) any combination of the foregoing methods.

All options granted under the Plan must be evidenced by a stock option agreement between the Company and the optionee to whom such option is granted. Options granted to persons subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act may impose additional restrictions necessary to comply with Rule 16b-3.

______________

(1) A “rolling maximum” is a fixed maximum percentage of the Company’s outstanding shares, whereby the number of Shares under a Plan increase automatically with increases in the total number of shares. “Evergreen” provisions permit the reloading of shares that make up the available pool of Shares for the SIP, once the options granted have been exercised.

Pricing of Options. Under the Plan, exercise of a particular option shall be such price, will be fixed by the Committee. However, the exercise price for options and rights granted under the Plan will not be less than the Discounted Market Price of the Common Stock if listed on the TSX-V at the time of the option grant; or, 85% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock if not listed on the TSX-V at the time of the option grant.. Discounted Market Price is as defined under Policy 1.1 of the TSX-V, and Fair Market Value is as defined in paragraph 2.1 n. of the SOP

Repricing. In no case (except due to an adjustment to reflect a stock split or similar event or any repricing that may be approved by stockholders) will any adjustment be made to a stock option under the SOP (by amendment, cancellation and regrant, exchange or other means) that would constitute a repricing of the per share exercise price of the award.

Term of Options. Under the Plan, no Option may exceed ten years.

Nontransferability. Options granted pursuant to the Plan are nontransferable by the Eligible Participant, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Eligible Participant, only by the Eligible Participant.

Common Stock. The Plan also permits an outright grant of stock, usually at nominal or no cost. The difference is that a restricted stock plan usually has vesting restrictions, which affords some tax deferral as well as encouraging employee retention. Typically an award of restricted stock will not vest until the employee has completed a specified period of service with the employer. During the restricted period, however, Eligible Participants are considered the owners of the stock and will, therefore, be entitled to receive the dividends and to vote the shares during the restricted period. Since no stock or cash is needed by an employee to acquire restricted stock, there is significant value inherent in the award at the time of the grant. Employee taxability is deferred until full vesting occurs.

Adjustment Upon Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the shareholders of the Company, in the event any change, such as a stock split or dividend, is made in the Company's capitalization which results in an increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock without receipt of consideration by the Company, an appropriate adjustment shall be made in the number of shares that have been reserved for issuance under the Plan (including shares subject to an option or right) and the price per share covered by each outstanding Stock Option. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, all outstanding Stock Options will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action. However, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion, make provision for accelerating the exercisability of shares subject to Stock Options under the Plan in such event.

Amendment and Termination. The Board may amend, alter, suspend or discontinue the Plan at any time, but such amendment, alteration, suspension or discontinuation shall not adversely affect any Stock Option then outstanding in the Plan, without the written consent of the Eligible Participant. To the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code (or any other applicable law or regulation), the Company shall obtain shareholder approval of any amendment to the Plan in such a manner and to such a degree as required. Subject to applicable laws and the specific terms of the Plan, the administrators may accelerate any option, right or award or waive any condition or restriction pertaining to such option at any time. The administrators may also substitute new options, rights or awards for previously granted options, including previously granted options having higher option prices and may reduce the exercise price of any option.

Term of Plan. The Plan will be effective as of May 2, 2010 and terminate the earlier of (i) ten years from effective date; or, (ii) the date determined by the Board of Directors.

Certain Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following is a brief summary of the federal income tax consequences of transactions under the Plan based on federal securities and income tax laws in effect on December 31, 2010. This summary is not intended to be exhaustive and does not discuss the tax consequences of an Eligible Participant's death, nor does it describe state, local, or international tax consequences.

Non-Qualified Stock Options. Except as noted below, with respect to Non-Qualified Stock Options, (i) no income is recognized by the optionee at the time the option is granted; (ii) generally, at exercise, ordinary income is recognized by the optionee in an amount equal to the difference between the option exercise price paid for the shares and

the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise, and the Company is entitled to a tax deduction in the same amount; and (iii) at disposition, any gain or loss is treated as capital gain or loss. In the case of an optionee who is also an employee, any income recognized upon exercise of a Non-Qualified Stock Option will constitute wages for which withholding will be required. However, different rules may apply if restricted stock is purchased or if shares are purchased by an optionee who is also an officer, director or more than 10% shareholder. See discussion below of "Special Rules Applicable to Corporate Insiders and Restricted Stock Purchasers."

Incentive Stock Options ("ISO's"). For federal income tax purposes, the holder of an ISO has no taxable income at the time of the grant or exercise of the ISO. If such person retains the common stock acquired under the ISO for a period of at least two years after the stock option is granted and one year after the stock option is exercised, any gain upon the subsequent sale of the common stock will be taxed as a long-term capital gain. A Eligible Participant who disposes of shares acquired by exercise of an ISO prior to the expiration of two years after the stock option is granted or before one year after the stock option is exercised will realize ordinary income as of the date of exercise equal to the difference between the exercise price and fair market value of the stock. Any additional gain or loss recognized upon any later disposition of the shares would be a short- or long-term capital gain or loss, depending on whether the shares have been held by the Eligible Participant for more than one year. The difference between the option exercise price and the fair market value of the shares on the exercise date of an ISO is an adjustment in computing the holder's alternative minimum taxable income and may be subject to an alternative minimum tax which is paid if such tax exceeds the Eligible Participant's regular income tax for the year.

Restricted Stock. An Eligible Participant will generally not have taxable income upon grant of unvested restricted shares unless he or she elects to be taxed at that time pursuant to an election under Code Section 83(b). Instead, he or she will recognize ordinary income at the time(s) of vesting equal to the fair market value (on each vesting date) of the shares received minus any amount paid for the shares. The tax disadvantages of a stock award program to the Company also include: (i) taxation for the eligible individual; (ii) payroll tax withholding requirements; and, (iii) need for accurate valuation of the shares being awarded. Since no stock or cash is needed by an eligible individual to acquire restricted stock, there is significant value inherent in the award at the time of the grant. Eligible individual taxability is deferred until full vesting occurs. In addition, the tax deduction afforded to the Company will equal the price or value of the stock at the time the restrictions lapse. There is a charge to the Company’s earnings for accounting purposes generally based on the price of the stock at the time of grant, and, if the restrictions are service based, no additional charge to earnings is required if the stock appreciates in value. As a result, if the stock price increases, the tax deduction accruing to the Company at the time the restrictions lapse may actually exceed the accounting charge. Furthermore, the initial accounting charge is typically spread over the entire restricted period.

Special Rules Applicable to Corporate Insiders and Restricted Stock Purchasers. Generally, individuals subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act ("Insiders") and individuals who purchase stock may have their recognition of compensation income and the beginning of their capital gains holding period deferred for up to six months after option exercise (for Insiders), or until the restrictions lapse (for restricted stock purchasers) (the "Deferral Date"), with the excess of the fair market value of the stock determined as of the Deferral Date over the purchase price being taxed as ordinary income, and the tax holding period for any subsequent gain or loss beginning on the Deferral Date. However, an Insider or restricted stock purchaser who so elects under Code Section 83(b) on a timely basis may instead be taxed on the difference between the excess of the fair market value on the date of transfer over the purchase price, with the tax holding period beginning on such date. Similar rules apply for alternative minimum tax purposes with respect to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option by an Insider.

Capital Gains. Generally, under law in effect as of October 1, 2010, net capital gain (net long-term capital gain minus net short-term capital loss) is taxed at a maximum rate of 15%. Capital losses are allowed in full against capital gains plus up to $3,000 of other income.

Payment for Option Exercise Price. Payment of the option exercise price may be in cash, check, or wired funds. The Committee may not permit "cashless" option exercises.

Income Tax Deduction to Company. With respect to nonqualified stock options, the Company will be generally entitled to deduct and an Eligible Participant recognizes taxable income in an amount equal to the difference between the option exercise price and the fair market value of the shares at the time of exercise. With respect to incentive stock options, the Company would generally not be entitled to a deduction nor does the Eligible Participant recognize income at the time of exercise, although an Eligible Participant may be subject to the U.S. federal alternative minimum tax.

Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. Section 409A of the Code governs the federal income taxation of certain types of nonqualified deferred compensation arrangements. A violation of Section 409A of the Code generally results in an acceleration of the recognition of income of amounts intended to be deferred and the imposition of a federal excise tax of 20% on the employee over and above the income tax owed, plus possible penalties and interest. The types of arrangements covered by Section 409A of the Code are broad and may apply to certain awards available under the Plan. The intent is for the Plan, including any awards available thereunder, to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code to the extent applicable. As required by Code Section 409A, certain nonqualified deferred compensation payments to specified employees may be delayed to the seventh month after such employee's separation from service.

Management believes the Plan will enhance the Company’s ability to retain, attract, motivate and reward its employees, officers, directors, and consultants in an increasingly competitive hiring environment.

Date for Plan Effectiveness and Effective Date for Previously Granted Options

The Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors on May 25, 2010, and Options were granted on August 24, 2010, all subject to shareholder ratification and approval.

The effective date of the Plan, if ratified and approved by Shareholders, will be the effective date set forth in the Plan, e.g. May 2, 2010.

Additionally, on August 24, 2010, subject to ratification and approval of the plan by Shareholders and the TSX-V, the Board of Directors made a grant of 2,000,000 options to officers, directors and advisors. Once the Plan is ratified and approved by shareholders and the TSX-V, those prior options will be deemed granted. The effective date of the options granted will be August 24, 2010. For accounting purposes, the options granted will be valued as of the shareholder ratification and approval date. For legal and tax purposes, the options will be deemed granted and valued as of August 24, 2010.

DeCoria, Maichel & Teague P.S. independent Certified Public Accountants (“DM-T”), have again been selected by the Board of Directors as the independent auditors for the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010. Shareholder ratification of the selection of DM-T as the Company’s independent auditors is not required by the Bylaws or otherwise. However, Management is submitting the selection of DM-T to the shareholders for ratification as a matter of corporate practice. If the shareholders fail to ratify the selection, Management will reconsider whether or not to retain that firm. Even if the selection if ratified, Management in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent accounting firm at any time during the year if the Audit Committee determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

DM-T has served as an independent auditor for the Corporation since the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. This firm is experienced in the field of accounting and is well qualified to act in the capacity of auditors. DM-T will not be represented at the annual meeting, but questions from shareholders will be subsequently presented to the auditors for response.

If an Option expires, is surrendered in exchange for another Option, or terminates for any reason during the term of this Plan prior to its exercise in full, the shares subject to but not delivered under such Option will be available for Options thereafter granted and for replacement Options which may be granted in exchange for such surrendered or terminated Options. Common Stock which has been issued pursuant to the exercise of Options granted under this Plan since the inception of the Plan will not be considered to reduce the maximum number of Shares which may be issued to Eligible Participants under Options issued and outstanding pursuant to this Plan.

Grants of Options

At any time and from time to time prior to the termination of the Plan, Options may be granted by the Committee to any individual who is an Eligible Participant at the time of grant. Options granted pursuant to the Plan will be contained in an Option Agreement in a form approved by the Committee and, except as hereinafter provided, will be subject to the provisions of this Plan, in addition to such other terms and conditions as the Committee may specify.

In addition, for as long as the Common Stock of the Company is listed on the TSX-V, the Company will comply with the following requirements in addition to any other requirements imposed under the policies of the TSX-V:

Options to acquire more than 2% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company will not be granted to any one Consultant in any 12 month period, calculated at the date the Option was granted;

ii.

Options to acquire more than an aggregate of 2% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Company may not be granted to persons employed to provide Investor Relations Activities in any 12 month period, calculated at the date the Option was granted;

iii.

Options issued to Eligible Persons performing Investor Relations Activities must vest in stages over 12 months with no more than one-quarter (1/4) of the Options vesting in any three-month period;

iv.

For Options granted to Employees, Consultants or Management Company Employees, the Company will represent that the Optionee is a bona fide Employee, Consultant or Management Company;

Any Options granted to an Eligible Participant must expire within a reasonable period following the date that the Optionee ceases to occupy such role;

vi.

No term of any Option may exceed 10 years; and

vii.

The Company will obtain disinterested shareholder approval in accordance with the policies of the TSX-V in the following circumstances:

for Options granted to any one individual in any 12-month period to acquire Option Shares exceeding 5% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company;

for Options granted to Insiders within a 12-month period to acquire Option Shares exceeding 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Company;

for any amendment to or reduction in the exercise price of an Option if the Optionee is an Insider of the Company at the time of the amendment; and

for the Plan, if the Plan, together with all of the Company’s previously established and outstanding stock option plans or grants, could result at any time in the grant to Insiders of the Company of a number of Option Shares exceeding 10% of the Company’s issued Common Shares.

Incentive Stock Options.

An Option designated by the Committee as an “Incentive Stock Option” is intended to qualify as an “Incentive Stock Option” within the meaning of Subsection (b) of Section 422 of the Code.

To the extent that the aggregate fair market value (determined at the time the option is granted) of the Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options (determined without regard to this Subsection 7(b)) are exercisable for the first time by the Optionee during any calendar year (under this Plan and all other Incentive Stock Option Plans of the Company) exceed $100,000, such Options will be treated as Non-Qualified Options and will not qualify as incentive Stock Options.

Should Section 422 of the Code or regulations or pronouncements thereunder be modified during the term of this Plan, this Plan and any outstanding Options may be amended to conform to such modification, if approved by the Board of Directors, upon recommendation by the Committee.

Notwithstanding the definition of “Fair Market Value” in this Plan, fair market value in connection with any Incentive Stock Options will be determined under the applicable method provided by Regulations under Section 2031 of the Code.

In the case of an Incentive Stock Option: (a) granted to a Eligible Participant who at the time of the grant owns Common Stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company, the per share exercise price will be no less than 110% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant; or (b) granted to any other Eligible Participant, the per share exercise price will be no less than 100% of the fair market value per share of Common Stock on the date of grant.

In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Eligible Participant who at the time of the grant of such Incentive Stock Option owns stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, such Incentive Stock Option may not be exercised after the expiration of five (5) years from the date the Incentive Stock Option is granted.

If Common Stock acquired upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option is disposed of by an Optionee prior to the expiration of either two years from the date of grant of such Option, one year from the transfer of shares of Common Stock to the Optionee pursuant to the exercise of such Option or in any other disqualifying disposition, within the meaning of Section 422 of the code, such Optionee will notify the Company in writing of the date and terms of such disposition. A disqualifying disposition by an Optionee will not affect the status of any other Incentive Stock Option granted under the Plan.

No Incentive Stock Options will be granted under this Plan more than 10 years after the date that the Plan is adopted or approved by the shareholders of the Company, whichever is earlier.

No Incentive Stock Option will be exercisable more than 10 years from the date it is granted; provided, however, that the case of an Eligible Participant who at the time of grant owns Common Stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any subsidiary, the Incentive Stock Option may not be exercised after the expiration of five (5) years from the date of grant.

Term of Option Period. The term during which Options may be exercised will be determined in the discretion of the Committee, except that the period during which each Option may be exercised will expire no later than on the tenth anniversary of the date of grant.

Exercise Price. Subject to any limitations provided for in Section 7 herein and to any additional limitations imposed by the TSX-V, the price at which shares of Common Stock may be purchased upon the exercise of an Option will be such price as fixed by the Committee, provided that such exercise price will not be less than:

the Discounted Market Price if the Common Stock is listed on the TSX-V at the time of the grant, and

85% of the Fair Market Value if the Common Stock is not listed on the TSX-V at the time of the grant of the Option.

If the shares of Common Stock become listed on another stock exchange, then the exercise price will not be less than the exercise price permitted by such exchange.

10.

Payment of Exercise Price. The Committee will determine the terms of payment by each Eligible Participant for shares of Common Stock to be purchased upon the exercise of Stock Options. Such terms will be set forth or referred to in the Option Agreement. No Option Share may be issued until payment in full of the exercise price has been received by the Company.

11.

Form of Exercise Payment. An Option may be exercised by payment of cash, cashier’s check or wired funds, or any combination of the foregoing methods, as approved by the Committee.

12.

Vesting; Exercise of Options and Rights.

Subject to the provisions of subsection 12(g) herein, an Option will vest and become nonforfeitable and exercisable, pursuant to such vesting schedules as determined by the Committee, but in no event later than 5 years from the date of grant. Eligible Participants may be credited with prior years of service for purposes of any vesting schedules, at the discretion of the Committee.

Each Option granted will be exercisable in whole or in part at any time or from time to time during the option period as the Committee may determine, provided that the election to exercise an Option will be made in accordance with applicable Federal laws and regulations, and further provided that each Option will contain a provision that will prevent exercise of the Option unless the Optionee remains in the employ of the Company or its subsidiary at least one year after the granting of the Option. However, the Committee may in its discretion accelerate the vesting schedule of any option at any time.

No Option may at any time be exercised with respect to a fractional share of Common Stock.

As a condition to the exercise of an Option, Optionees will make such arrangements as the Committee may require for the satisfaction of any federal, state, or local withholding tax obligations that my arise in connection with such exercise.

No shares of Common Stock will be delivered pursuant to the exercise of any Option, in whole or in part, until qualified for delivery under such securities laws and regulations as may be deemed by the Committee to be applicable thereto.

Notwithstanding any vesting requirements contained in any Option, all outstanding Options will become immediately exercisable (a) following the first purchase of Common Stock pursuant to a tender offer or exchange offer (other than an offer made by the Company) for all or part of the Common Stock, (b) at such time as a third person, including a “group” as defined in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, becomes the beneficial owner of shares of the Company having 25% or more of the total number of votes that may be cast for the election of Directors of the Company, (c) on the date on which the shareholders of the Company approve (i) any agreement for a merger or consolidation in which the Company will not survive as an independent, publicly-owned corporation or (ii) any sale, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company's assets. The Committee's reasonable determination as to whether such an event has occurred will be final and conclusive.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the right of any Eligible Participant to receive any benefits hereunder will terminate and will be forever forfeited if such Eligible Participant's employment with the Company is terminated because of his/her fraud, embezzlement, dishonesty, or breach of fiduciary duty. In such an event, all unexercised Options will be deemed null and void.

13.

Transferability of Options. The right of any Optionee to exercise an Option granted under the Plan will, during the lifetime of such Optionee, be exercisable only by such Optionee or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined by the Code, or Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, or the rules thereunder (a “QDRO”) and will not be assignable or transferable by such Optionee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or a QDRO.

14.

Termination of Relationship. No Option may be exercised after the Optionee, if a Director or Officer, has ceased to be a Director or Officer or, if an Employee or other Eligible Participant has left the employ or service of the Company or an affiliate of the Company, except as follows:

notwithstanding any other provision of this section 14, if and to the extent provided in the Optionee’s employment agreement;

in the case of the death of an Optionee, any vested Option held by him or her at the date of death will become exercisable by the Optionee’s lawful personal representatives, heirs or executors until the earlier of one year after the date of death of such Optionee and the expiry date of such Option;

subject to the other provisions of this Section 14, including the proviso below, vested Options will expire 90 days after the date the Optionee ceases to be employed by, provide services to, or be a Director or Officer of, the Company or an affiliate of the Company, and all unvested Options will immediately terminate without right to exercise same; and

in the case of an Optionee being dismissed from employment or service for cause, such Optionee’s Options, whether or not vested at the date of dismissal will immediately terminate without right to exercise same,

provided that in no event may the term of the Option exceed 10 years. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection 14(c), the Board may provide for the vesting of all or any part of the Optionee’s Options that are unvested at the date the Optionee ceases to be employed by, provide services to, or be a Director or Officer of, the Company or an affiliate, and may extend the time period for exercise of an Option to a maximum of the original term of the Option, all as the Board deems appropriate in the circumstances contemplated by subsection 14(c).

15.

Changes in Common Stock. The aggregate number and class of shares on which Options may be granted under this Plan, the number and class of shares covered by each outstanding Option, and the exercise price per share thereof (but not the total price), of each such Option, will all be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a split-up or consolidation of shares of Common Stock, or any spin-off, spin-out, split-up, or other distribution of assets to shareholders, or any like capital adjustment or the payment of any such stock dividend, or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock without the receipt of consideration by the Company, or assumption and conversion of outstanding grants due to an acquisition.

16.

Amendment and Discontinuance. The Board of Directors may suspend, discontinue, or amend the Plan to reduce the number of shares of Common Stock under option, increase the exercise price, or cancel an Option. Except as contemplated below, the Board of Directors may amend other terms of the Plan only where approval of the TSX-V has been obtained, and if the following requirements are satisfied:

If the Optionee is an Insider of the Company at the time of the amendment, the Company obtains disinterested shareholder approval;

The Option exercise price can be amended only if at least six months have elapsed since the later of the date of commencement of the term, the date the Company’s shares of Common Stock commenced trading, or the date the Option exercise price was last amended;

If the option price is amended to the Discounted Market Price, the TSX-V hold period will apply from the date of the amendment. If the option price is amended to the Market Price, the Exchange hold period will not apply;

Any extension of the length of the term of the Option is treated as a grant of a new Option, which must comply with the policies of the TSX-V. The term of an Option cannot be extended so that the effective term of the Option exceeds 10 years in total. An Option must be outstanding for at least one year before the Company can extend its term; and

The TSX-V must accept a proposed amendment before the amended Option is exercised.

However, the Board may amend the terms of the Plan to comply with the requirements of any applicable regulatory authority without obtaining shareholder approval, including (a) amendments of a housekeeping nature to the Plan; (b) a change to the vesting provisions of an Option or the Plan; and (c) a change to the termination provisions of an Option or the Plan which does not entail an extension beyond the original expiry date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment to this Plan will, except with the consent of the Optionee, adversely affect the rights under an Option previously granted.

If the amendment of an Option requires regulatory approval or shareholder approval, such amendment may be made prior to such approvals being given, but no such amended Options may be exercised unless and until such approvals are given.

17.

Term of Plan. This Plan will be effective as of the Effective Date and will terminate on the earlier of:

The date which is ten years from the Effective Date; and

Such earlier date as the Board may determine (the “Termination Date”).

No Incentive Stock Options will be granted under this Plan after the Termination Date.

18.

Compliance with Securities Laws. No Option will be exercisable in whole or in part, nor will the Company be obligated to issue any Option Shares pursuant to the exercise of any such Option, if such exercise and issuance would, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, constitute a breach of any applicable laws from time to time, or the rules from time to time of the TSX-V or other securities regulatory authority to which the Company is subject. Each Option will be subject to the further requirement that if at any time the Board determines that the listing or qualification of the Option Shares under any securities legislation or other applicable law, or the consent or approval of any governmental or other regulatory body (including the TSX-V), is necessary as a condition of, or in connection with, the issue of the Option Shares hereunder, such Option may not be exercised in whole or in part unless such listing, qualification, consent or approval has been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Board. No shares of Common Stock will be delivered pursuant to the exercise of any Option, in whole or in part, until qualified for delivery under such securities laws and regulations as may be deemed by the Committee to be applicable thereto. In order to ensure compliance with applicable securities laws, upon demand by the Company, the Optionee will deliver to the Company a representation in writing that the purchase of all shares of Common Stock with respect to which notice of exercise of the Option has been given by Optionee is being made for investment only and not for resale or with a view to distribution and containing such other

representations and provisions with respect thereto as the Company may require. Upon such demand, delivery of such representation promptly and prior to the transfer or delivery of any such shares and prior to the expiration of the option period will be a condition precedent to the right to purchase such shares. Each Optionee further acknowledges that any Option Shares issued upon exercise of an Option may be “restricted securities” upon issuance and the certificates representing such shares legended in the event that the issuance of the Option Shares has not been registered by an effective registration statement under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In addition to any resale restrictions imposed under securities laws, where the exercise price of the Option is based on the Discounted Market Price, any Option Shares will be legended with a four-month hold period under the policies of the TSX-V, which hold will date from the date the Option is granted.

19.

Rights as Shareholder and Employee. An Optionee will have no rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to any shares of Common Stock covered by an Option until the date of the issuance of the stock certificate for such shares. Neither the Plan, nor the granting of an Option or other rights herein, nor any other action taken pursuant to the Plan will constitute or be evidence of any agreement or understanding, express or implied, that an Eligible Participant has a right to continue as an Employee for any period of time or at any particular rate of compensation.

20.

Currency. All references to “$” herein are to the United States Dollar.

21.

Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada without regard to principles of conflicts of law.

22.

Limitations on Sale of Stock Purchased Under the Plan. The Plan is intended to provide Common Stock for investment and not for resale. The Company does not, however, intend to restrict or influence any Eligible Participant in the conduct of his own affairs. An Eligible Participant, therefore, may sell stock purchased under the Plan at any time he or she chooses, subject to compliance with any applicable Federal or state securities laws. THE PARTICIPANT ASSUMES THE RISK OF ANY MARKET FLUCTUATIONS IN THE PRICE OF THE STOCK.

23.

Regulatory Approval. This Plan will be subject to the approval of any regulatory authority whose approval is required, including any approval of the TSX-V. Any Options granted under this Plan prior to such approvals being given will be conditional upon such approvals being given, and no such Options may be exercised unless and until such approvals are given. The Company's obligation to sell and deliver shares of the Common Stock under this Plan is subject to the regulatory approval required in connection with the authorization, issuance, or sale of such shares.

24.

Other Benefit and Compensation Programs. Unless otherwise specifically determined by the Committee, grants of Options under the Plan will not be deemed a part of an Eligible Participant's regular, recurring compensation for purposes of calculating payments or benefits from any Company benefit plan or severance program. Further, the Company may adopt other compensation programs, plans or arrangements as it deems appropriate or necessary.

25.

Unfunded Plan. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, the Plan will be unfunded and will not create (or be construed to create) a trust or a separate fund or funds. The Plan will not establish any fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Eligible Participant or other person. To the extent any person holds any rights by virtue of Options granted under the Plan, such rights will constitute, general unsecured liabilities of the Company and will not confer upon any Optionee any right, title or interest in any assets of the Company.

26.

Arbitration. Any controversy arising out of, connected to, or relating to any matters herein of the transactions between an Eligible Participant and the Company (including for purposes of arbitration, officers, directors, employees, controlling persons, affiliates, professional advisors, agents, or promoters of the Company), on behalf of the undersigned, or this Agreement, or the breach thereof, including, but not limited to any claims of violations of Federal and/or State Securities Acts, Banking Statutes, Consumer Protection Statutes, Federal and/or State Anti-Racketeering (e.g. RICO) claims as well as any common law claims and any State Law claims of fraud, negligence, negligent misrepresentations, unjust termination, breach of contract, and/or conversion will be settled by arbitration; and in accordance with this paragraph and judgment on the arbitrator's award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof in accordance with the provisions of Nevada law. In the event of such a dispute, each party to the conflict will select an arbitrator, which will constitute the three person arbitration board. Participants will be required

to waive any right to an award of punitive damages. The decision of a majority of the board of arbitrators, who will render their decision within thirty (30) days of appointment of the final arbitrator, will be binding upon the parties. Venue for arbitration will lie in Boise, Idaho.

27.

Shareholder Approval. This Plan is subject to the approval of the shareholders of the Company. Any Options granted prior to such approval are conditional upon such approval being given, and no such Options may be exercised unless and until such approval is given.
