NioCorp DevelopmentsLtd.

NioCorp is developing the Elk Creek Project (as definedbelow) located in southeast Nebraska. The “Elk Creek Project” is a development-stage property that has disclosed niobium,scandium, and titanium reserves and resources and disclosed rare earth mineral resources. The Company is continuing technical and economicstudies around the rare earths contained in the Elk Creek Project’s mineral resource in order to determine whether extraction ofrare earth elements can be reasonably justified and economically viable after taking into account all relevant factors. Niobium is usedto produce various superalloys that are extensively used in high performance aircraft and jet turbines. It also is used in high-strength,low-alloy steel, a stronger steel used in automobiles, bridges, structural systems, buildings, pipelines, and other applications thatgenerally increases strength and/or reduces weight, which can result in environmental benefits, including reduced fuel consumption andmaterial usage and fewer air emissions. Scandium can be combined with aluminum to make high-performance alloys with increased strengthand improved corrosion resistance. Scandium also is a critical component of advanced solid oxide fuel cells, an environmentally preferredtechnology for high-reliability, distributed electricity generation. Titanium is a component of various superalloys and other applicationsthat are used for aerospace applications, weapons systems, protective armor, medical implants, and many others. It also is used in pigmentsfor paper, paint, and plastics. Rare earths are critical to electrification and decarbonization initiatives and can be used to manufacturethe strongest permanent magnets commercially available.

Our primary business strategy is to advance our ElkCreek Project to commercial production. We are focused on obtaining additional funds to carry out our near-term planned work programsassociated with securing the project financing necessary to complete mine development and construction of the Elk Creek Project.

Shouldone or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materiallyfrom those described herein. This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect any of the Company’s forward-looking statements.Forward-looking statements are statements about the future and are inherently uncertain, and actual achievements of the Company or otherfuture events or conditions may differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks, uncertainties,and other factors, including without limitation those discussed under Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” contained in our mostrecent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” contained in our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form10-Q, as well as any amendments thereto, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplementin their entirety, together with other information in this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement and the documents incorporatedby reference herein and therein.

See “—Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations for U.S. Residents.”

Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations for U.S.Residents

The following generallysummarizes certain Canadian federal income tax consequences generally applicable under the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the regulationsenacted thereunder (collectively, the “Canadian Tax Act”) and the Canada-United States Tax Convention (1980) (the “Convention”)to the holding and disposition of Common Shares.

Comment is restrictedto holders of Common Shares each of whom, at all material times for the purposes of the Canadian Tax Act and the Convention, (i) is residentsolely in the United States for tax purposes, (ii) is a “qualifying person” under and entitled to the benefits of the Convention,(iii) holds all Common Shares as capital property, (iv) holds no Common Shares that are “taxable Canadian property” (as definedin the Canadian Tax Act) of the holder, (v) deals at arm’s length with and is not affiliated with the Company, (vi) does not andis not deemed to use or hold any Common Shares in a business carried on in Canada, (vii) is not an insurer that carries on business inCanada and elsewhere, (viii) is not an “authorized foreign bank” (as defined in the Canadian Tax Act), and (ix) has not enteredinto a “derivative forward agreement” (as defined in the Canadian Tax Act) with respect to the Common Shares (each such holder,a “U.S. Resident Holder”).

Certain U.S.-residententities that are fiscally transparent for United States federal income tax purposes (including limited liability companies) may not inall circ*mstances be entitled to the benefits of the Convention. Members of or holders of an interest in such an entity that holds CommonShares should consult their own tax advisers regarding the extent, if any, to which the benefits of the Convention will apply to the entityin respect of its Common Shares.

Generally, a U.S. ResidentHolder’s Common Shares will be considered to be capital property of such holder provided that the U.S. Resident Holder is not atrader or dealer in securities, did not acquire, hold, or dispose of the Common Shares in one or more transactions considered to be anadventure or concern in the nature of trade (i.e., speculation), and does not hold the Common Shares in the course of carryingon a business.

Thissummary is based on the current provisions of the Canadian Tax Act and the Convention in effect as of the date prior to the date hereof,all specific proposals to amend the Canadian Tax Act and Convention publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada)prior to the date hereof, and the current published administrative policies and assessing practices of the Canada Revenue Agency (the“CRA”). It is assumed that all such amendments will be enacted as currently proposed, and that there will be no other materialchange to any applicable law or administrative policy or assessing practice, whether by way of judicial, legislative or governmental decisionor action, although no assurance can be given in these respects. This summary is not exhaustive of all possible Canadian federal incometax considerations. Except as otherwise expressly provided, this summary does not take into account any provincial, territorial, or foreigntax considerations, which may differ materially from those set out herein.

6

This summary isof a general nature only, is not exhaustive of all possible Canadian federal income tax considerations, and is not intended to be andshould not be construed as legal or tax advice to any particular U.S. Resident Holder. U.S. Resident Holders are urged to consult theirown tax advisers for advice with respect to their particular circ*mstances. The discussion below is qualified accordingly.

Generally, a U.S. ResidentHolder’s Common Shares will not constitute “taxable Canadian property” of such holder at a particular time at whichthe Common Shares are listed on a “designated stock exchange” (which currently includes Nasdaq) unless both of the followingconditions are concurrently met:

(i)at any time during the 60-month period that ends at the particular time, 25% or more of the issued shares of any class of the capitalstock of the Company were owned by or belonged to one or any combination of
(A)the U.S. Resident Holder,
(B)persons with whom the U.S. Resident Holder did not deal at arm’s length, and
(C)partnerships in which the U.S. Resident Holder or a person referred to in clause (B) holds a membership interest directly or indirectlythrough one or more partnerships, and
(ii)at any time during the 60-month period that ends at the particular time, more than 50% of the fair market value of the Common Shareswas derived directly or indirectly from, one or any combination of, real or immovable property situated in Canada, “Canadian resourceproperties” (as defined in the Canadian Tax Act), “timber resource properties” (as defined in the Canadian Tax Act),or options in respect of, or interests in any of the foregoing, whether or not the property exists.

Common Shares may alsobe deemed to be “taxable Canadian property” in certain circ*mstances set out in the Canadian Tax Act.

A U.S. Resident Holderwho disposes or is deemed to dispose of one or more Common Shares generally should not thereby incur any liability for Canadian federalincome tax in respect of any capital gain arising as a consequence of the disposition.

A U.S. Resident Holderto whom the Company pays or credits or is deemed to pay or credit a dividend on such holder’s Common Shares will be subject to Canadianwithholding tax, and the Company will be required to withhold the tax from the dividend and remit it to the CRA for the holder’saccount. The rate of withholding tax under the Canadian Tax Act is 25% of the gross amount of the dividend, but should generally be reducedunder the Convention to 15% (or, if the U.S. Resident Holder is a company which is the beneficial owner of at least 10% of the votingstock of the Company, 5%) of the gross amount of the dividend. For this purpose, a company that is a resident of the United States forpurposes of the Canadian Tax Act and the Convention and is entitled to the benefits of the Convention shall be considered to own the votingstock of the Company owned by an entity that is considered fiscally transparent under the laws of the United States and that is not aresident of Canada, in proportion to such company’s ownership interest in that entity.

Competition Act

Limitationson the ability to acquire and hold Common Shares may be imposed by the Competition Act (Canada). This legislation permits the Commissionerof Competition of Canada (the “Commissioner”) to review any acquisition of a significant interest in the Company. This legislationgrants the Commissioner jurisdiction to challenge such an acquisition before the Canadian Competition Tribunal if the Commissioner believesthat it would, or would be likely to, result in a substantial lessening or prevention of competition in any market in Canada.

Investment CanadaAct

The InvestmentCanada Act subjects an acquisition of control of a company by a non-Canadian to government review if the enterprise value of such company,as calculated pursuant to the legislation, exceeds a threshold amount. A reviewable acquisition may not proceed unless the relevant ministeris satisfied that the investment is likely to result in a net benefit to Canada. Under the national-security-review regime in the InvestmentCanada Act, review on a discretionary basis may also be undertaken by the federal government in respect of a broad range of investmentsby a non-Canadian. No financial threshold applies to a national security review. The relevant test is whether such investment by a non-Canadiancould be “injurious to national security.”

NioCorp Assumed Warrants

In connection with the closing of the Transactions(the “Closing”), pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the Company assumed the Warrant Agreement, dated as of March17, 2021 (the “GXII Warrant Agreement”), by and between GXII and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“CST”),as warrant agent, and each share purchase warrant of GXII thereunder (the “GXII Warrants”) that was issued and outstandingimmediately prior to March 17, 2023 was converted into one Warrant (the “NioCorp Assumed Warrants”) pursuant to the assignment,assumption and amendment agreement to the GXII Warrant Agreement, dated March 17, 2023 (the GXII Warrant Agreement, as so amended, the“NioCorp Assumed Warrant Agreement”), among NioCorp, GXII, CST, as existing warrant agent, and Computershare Inc. and itsaffiliate Computershare Trust Company, N.A., together as successor warrant agent (the “NioCorp Assumed Warrant Agent”). Inconnection with the Closing, NioCorp issued (a) 9,999,959 public NioCorp Assumed Warrants in respect of the GXII Warrants that were publiclytraded prior to the Closing and (b) 5,666,667 NioCorp Assumed Warrants to GX Sponsor II LLC (the “Sponsor”) in respect ofthe GXII Warrants that it held prior to the Closing, which NioCorp Assumed Warrants were subsequently distributed by the Sponsor to itsmembers in connection with the Closing.

Both the public NioCorp Assumed Warrants and the NioCorpAssumed Warrants issued to the Sponsor are subject to the terms of the NioCorp Assumed Warrant Agreement and are identical, with certainexceptions applicable to the NioCorp Assumed Warrants issued to the Sponsor for so long as such NioCorp Assumed Warrants are held by theSponsor, its members, or their respective affiliates and other permitted transferees. In accordance with the NioCorp Assumed Warrant Agreement,any NioCorp Assumed Warrants issued to the Sponsor that are held by someone other than the Sponsor, its members, or their respective affiliatesand other permitted transferees, are treated as public NioCorp Assumed Warrants.

Each NioCorp Assumed Warrant is exercisable on andafter April 16, 2023 until its expiration for 1.11829212 Common Shares at a price of $11.50 per 1.11829212 Common Shares (subject to adjustmentsfor stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like). Under the terms of NioCorp Assumed Warrant Agreement,for so long as the NioCorp Assumed Warrants issued to the Sponsor are held by the Sponsor, its members, or their respective affiliatesand other permitted transferees, such holders have the right to elect to exercise those NioCorp Assumed Warrants on a cashless basis.For such NioCorp Assumed Warrants exercised on a cashless basis after the Closing, the holder will be entitled to pay the exercise pricefor those NioCorp Assumed Warrants by surrendering all or portion of the cash and/or Common Shares (valued at their fair market value)into which those NioCorp Assumed Warrants are exercisable as shall be elected by the holder. For this purpose, Common Shares so surrenderedwill be deemed to have a “fair market value” equal to the average reported last sale price of the Common Shares for the 10trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date of exercise of the applicable NioCorp Assumed Warrants.

The NioCorp Assumed Warrants will expire at 5:00 p.m.,New York City time, on March 17, 2028 or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company will not be obligated to deliver anyCommon Shares pursuant to the exercise of a NioCorp Assumed Warrant and will have no obligation to settle such exercise unless a registrationstatement under the Securities Act with respect to the Common Shares underlying the NioCorp Assumed Warrants is then effective and aprospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations described below with respect to registration.No NioCorp Assumed Warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue Common Shares upon exercise of a NioCorpAssumed Warrant unless Common Shares issuable upon such exercise have been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securitieslaws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the NioCorp Assumed Warrants. In the event that the conditions in the twoimmediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a NioCorp Assumed Warrant, the holder of such NioCorp Assumed Warrantwill not be entitled to exercise such NioCorp Assumed Warrant and such NioCorp Assumed Warrant may have no value and expire worthless.In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any NioCorp Assumed Warrant.

8

The NioCorp Assumed Warrants, and the underlyingCommon Shares issuable upon the exercise thereof, were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to the Company’s registrationstatement on Form S-4, originally filed on November 7, 2022, as subsequently amended, which was declared effective by the SEC on February8, 2023. The ongoing registered offering of the Common Shares underlying the NioCorp Assumed Warrants is being conducted pursuant to theCompany’s registration statement on Form S-3, originally filed on April 14, 2023, as subsequently post-effectively amended to convertsuch registration statement to Form S-1, which was declared effective on October 30, 2023.

The Company will have the right to call the publicNioCorp Assumed Warrants for redemption at any time following the Closing Date:

·in whole and not in part;
·at a price of $0.01 per NioCorp Assumed Warrant;
·upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (the “30-day redemption period”)to each public NioCorp Assumed Warrant holder;
·if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Common Shares equals or exceeds approximately $16.10per share (subject to certain adjustments) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period commencing once the NioCorp AssumedWarrants become exercisable and ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the public NioCorp AssumedWarrant holders; and
·if there is an effective registration statement covering the Common Shares issuable upon exercise ofthe NioCorp Assumed Warrants, and a current prospectus relating thereto, available throughout the 30-day redemption period.

The NioCorp Assumed Warrants issued to the Sponsorare not redeemable by the Company for so long as such NioCorp Assumed Warrants are held by the Sponsor, its members, or their respectiveaffiliates or other permitted transferees. In addition, the Company may not exercise its redemption right if the issuance of Common Sharesupon exercise of the NioCorp Assumed Warrants is not exempt from registration or qualification under applicable state blue sky laws orthe Company is unable to effect such registration or qualification.

If the Company calls the public NioCorp Assumed Warrantsfor redemption as described above, the Company will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise its public NioCorpAssumed Warrant to do so on a “cashless basis.” In determining whether to require all holders to exercise their public NioCorpAssumed Warrants on a “cashless basis,” the Company will consider, among other factors, its cash position, the number ofNioCorp Assumed Warrants that are outstanding and the dilutive effect on the Company’s shareholders of issuing the maximum numberof Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of the NioCorp Assumed Warrants. If the Company takes advantage of this option, all holdersof public NioCorp Assumed Warrants would pay the exercise price by surrendering their NioCorp Assumed Warrants for that number of CommonShares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Common Shares underlying the public NioCorp AssumedWarrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the NioCorp Assumed Warrants and the “fair market value”(defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price ofthe Common Shares for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sentto the holders of public NioCorp Assumed Warrants. If the Company takes advantage of this option, the notice of redemption will containthe information necessary to calculate the number of Common Shares to be received upon exercise of the NioCorp Assumed Warrants, includingthe “fair market value” in such case. Requiring a cashless exercise in this manner will reduce the number of Common Sharesto be issued and thereby lessen the dilutive effect of a redemption of the public NioCorp Assumed Warrants. If the Company calls thepublic NioCorp Assumed Warrants for redemption and does not take advantage of this option, the Sponsor, its members, and their respectiveaffiliates and other permitted transferees would still be entitled to exercise their NioCorp Assumed Warrants for cash or on a cashlessbasis using the same formula described above that other NioCorp Assumed Warrant holders would have been required to use had all NioCorpAssumed Warrant holders been required to exercise their NioCorp Assumed Warrants on a cashless basis, as described in more detail below.

A holder of a NioCorp Assumed Warrant may notify theCompany in writing in the event it elects to be subject to a requirement that such holder will not have the right to exercise such NioCorpAssumed Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such holder (together with such holder’s affiliates),to the NioCorp Assumed Warrant Agent’s actual knowledge, would beneficially own in excess of 4.9% or 9.8% (or such other amountas a holder may specify) of the Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.

The NioCorp Assumed Warrants have certain anti-dilutionand adjustments rights upon certain events.

The NioCorp Assumed Warrants may be exercised uponsurrender of the certificate representing such NioCorp Assumed Warrants on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the NioCorpAssumed Warrant Agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of such certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompaniedby full payment of the exercise price (or on a cashless basis, if applicable), by certified or official bank check payable to the orderof the NioCorp Assumed Warrant Agent or by wire transfer, for the number of NioCorp Assumed Warrants being exercised. The NioCorp AssumedWarrant holders will not have the rights or privileges of holders of Common Shares or any attendant voting rights until they exercisetheir NioCorp Assumed Warrants and receive Common Shares. After the issuance of Common Shares upon exercise of the NioCorp Assumed Warrants,each holder will be entitled to one (1) vote for each Common Share held of record on all matters to be voted on by NioCorp shareholders.

If, upon exercise of the NioCorp Assumed Warrants,a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, the Company will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest wholenumber of Common Shares to be issued to the NioCorp Assumed Warrant holder.

The NioCorp Assumed Warrants were issued in registeredform under the NioCorp Assumed Warrant Agreement. The NioCorp Assumed Warrant Agreement may be amended by the parties thereto withoutthe consent of any registered holder (i) for the purpose of curing any ambiguity, or curing, correcting or supplementing any mistake,or adding or changing any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under NioCorp Assumed Warrant Agreement as theparties may deem necessary or desirable and that the parties deem shall not adversely affect the interest of the registered holders ofthe NioCorp Assumed Warrants, and (ii) to provide for the delivery of such kind and amount of Common Shares or other securities or property(including cash) receivable upon a reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any suchsale or transfer, that the holder of NioCorp Assumed Warrants would have received if such holder had exercised his, her or its NioCorpAssumed Warrants immediately prior to such event. All other modifications or amendments, including any amendment to increase the warrantprice or shorten the exercise period, shall require the vote or written consent of the registered holders of a majority of the then outstandingpublic NioCorp Assumed Warrants. Any amendment solely to the NioCorp Assumed Warrants issued to the Sponsor and that are held by the Sponsor,its members, or their respective affiliates or other permitted transferees, shall require the vote or written consent of a majority ofthe holders of the then outstanding NioCorp Assumed Warrants issued to the Sponsor.

The “Conversion Price” means, as ofany Conversion Date (as defined below) or other date of determination, the greater of (i) 90% of the average of the daily U.S. dollarvolume-weighted average price of the Common Shares on the principal U.S. market for the Common Shares as reported by Bloomberg FinancialMarkets during the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date on which the holder exercises its conversion right inaccordance with the requirements of the Yorkville Convertible Debt Financing Agreement (the “Conversion Date”) or other dateof determination, but not lower than the Floor Price (as defined below), and (ii) the five-day volume-weighted average price of the CommonShares on the TSX (or on the principal U.S. market if the majority of the trading volume and value of the Common Shares occurred on Nasdaqduring the relevant period) for the five consecutive trading days immediately prior to the Conversion Date or other date of determinationless the maximum applicable discount allowed by the TSX. The “Floor Price” means a price of $2.1435 per share, which is equalto the lesser of (a) 30% of the average of the daily volume-weighted average price of the Common Shares on the principal U.S. market forthe Common Shares as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets during the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the DebentureClosing and (b) 30% of the average of the volume-weighted average price of the Common Shares on the principal U.S. market for the CommonShares as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets during the five consecutive trading days immediately following the Debenture Closing,subject to certain adjustments to give effect to any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization or similar event.

The terms of the Convertible Debentures restrict thenumber of Convertible Debentures that may be converted during each calendar month by YA at a Conversion Price below a fixed price equalto approximately $8.9422 (i.e., the quotient of $10.00 divided by 1.11829212 (being the number of Common Shares that were exchanged foreach share of GXII at the Closing, after giving effect to the reverse stock split at a ratio of 10-for-1 effectuated by each of NioCorpand ECRC on the date of Closing (the “Reverse Stock Split”))), subject to adjustment to give effect to any stock dividend,stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization or similar event. The Convertible Debentures are subject to customary anti-dilutionadjustments.

The terms of the Convertible Debentures restrict theconversion of Convertible Debentures by YA if such a conversion would cause YA to exceed certain beneficial ownership thresholds in NioCorpor such a conversion would cause the aggregate number of Common Shares issued pursuant to the Yorkville Convertible Debt Financing Agreementto exceed the thresholds for issuance of Common Shares under the rules of Nasdaq, unless prior shareholder approval is obtained.

Financing Warrants

In conjunction with the Debenture Closing, NioCorpissued to YA pursuant to the Yorkville Convertible Debt Financing Agreement financing warrants (the “Financing Warrants”)to purchase 1,789,267 Common Shares, which is equal to the quotient of the principal amount of Convertible Debentures issued in such DebentureClosing divided by the “Exercise Price,” which is equal to approximately $8.9422 (i.e., the quotient of $10.00 divided by1.11829212 (being the number of Common Shares that were exchanged for each share of GXII at the Closing, after giving effect to the reversestock split at a ratio of 10-for-1 effectuated by each of NioCorp and ECRC on the Closing Date)), in each case, subject to adjustmentto give effect to any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization or similar event.

Wemay sell the securities from time to time in one or more transactions:

·through one or more underwriters or dealers;
·directly to purchasers, including our existing shareholders in a rightsoffering;
·through agents; or
·through a combination of any of these methods of sale.

We may distribute thesecurities from time to time in one or more transactions at:

·a fixed price or prices, which may be changed from time to time;
·market prices prevailing at the time of sale;
·prices related to prevailing market prices; or
·negotiated prices.

We will describe the methodof distribution of each series of securities in the applicable prospectus supplement.

We may determine the priceor other terms of the securities offered under this prospectus by use of an electronic auction. We will describe how any auction willdetermine the price or any other terms, how potential investors may participate in the auction and the nature of the underwriters’obligations in the related supplement to this prospectus.

Underwriters, dealersor agents may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from us or our purchasers as their agents in connectionwith the sale of the securities. These underwriters, dealers or agents may be considered to be underwriters under the Securities Act.As a result, discounts, commissions or profits on resale received by underwriters, dealers or agents may be treated as underwriting discountsand commissions. Each prospectus supplement will identify any underwriter, dealer or agent, and describe any compensation received bythem from us. We may grant underwriters who participate in the distribution of securities an option to purchase additional securitiesto cover over-allotments, if any, in connection with the distribution.

We may have agreementswith the underwriters, dealers and agents to indemnify them against specified civil liabilities, including liabilities under the SecuritiesAct. Underwriters, dealers and agents may engage in transactions with or perform services for us in the ordinary course of their businesses.

To the extent required,this prospectus may be amended and supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution.

Agents

We may designate agentswho agree to use their reasonable efforts to solicit purchases of our securities for the period of their appointment or to sell our securitieson a continuing basis.

Underwriters

If we use underwritersfor a sale of securities, the underwriters will acquire the securities for their own account. The underwriters may resell the securitiesin one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at thetime of sale. The obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to the conditions set forth in the applicableunderwriting agreement. The underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the securities of the series offered if they purchase anyof the securities of that series. We may change from time to time any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessionsthe underwriters allow or reallow or pay to dealers. We may use underwriters with whom we have a material relationship. We will describethe nature of any such relationship in any prospectus supplement naming any such underwriter.

17

Direct Sales

We may also sell securitiesdirectly to one or more purchasers without using underwriters or agents. Underwriters, dealers and agents that participate in the distributionof the securities may be underwriters as defined in the Securities Act, and any discounts or commissions they receive from us and anyprofit on their resale of the securities may be treated as underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. We will identifyin the applicable prospectus supplement any underwriters, dealers or agents and will describe their compensation.

Trading Markets andListing of Securities

Unless otherwise specifiedin the applicable prospectus supplement, each class or series of securities will be a new issue with no established trading market, otherthan our Common Shares, which are listed on The Nasdaq Global Market. We may elect to list any other class or series of securities onany exchange or market, but we are not obligated to do so. It is possible that one or more underwriters may make a market in a class orseries of securities, but the underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice.We cannot give any assurance as to the liquidity of the trading market for any of the securities.

Stabilization Activities

Any underwriter may engagein over-allotment, stabilizing transactions, short covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the ExchangeAct. Over-allotment involves sales in excess of the offering size, which create a short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bidsto purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum. Short covering transactions involvepurchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution is completed to cover short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwritersto reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the securities originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a covering transactionto cover short positions. Those activities may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would otherwise be. If commenced,the underwriters may discontinue any of these activities at any time.

Delayed Delivery Contracts

If we so indicate in theprospectus supplement, we may authorize agents, underwriters or dealers to solicit offers from certain types of institutions to purchasesecurities from us at the public offering price under delayed delivery contracts. These contracts would provide for payment and deliveryon a specified date in the future. The contracts would be subject only to those conditions described in the prospectus supplement. Theprospectus supplement will describe the commission payable for solicitation of those contracts.

18

Legal Matters

The validity of the securitiesin respect of which this prospectus is being delivered will be passed upon for us by Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, Vancouver, BritishColumbia, Canada, relating to matters of British Columbia or Canadian law, and Jones Day, relating to matters of New York or U.S. federallaw.
