Northrock Resources Ltd. ("Northrock") announces a small shareholder selling program ("the Program") that enables shareholders who owned 99 or fewer common shares ("Shares") of Northrock as of May 15, 1998, to sell their Shares without incurring any brokerage expense. The sale of Shares will be executed through the facilities of The Toronto Stock Exchange. Northrock is proceeding with the Program due to the large number of shareholders owning 99 or fewer common shares of Northrock as a result of the Paragon Petroleum Corporation acquisition. This voluntary program will result in administrative savings and is designed to assist shareholders in selling their Shares in a convenient and inexpensive manner.
The voluntary program is open to qualifying shareholders of record as of May 15, 1998. The Program begins on May 19, 1998, and will expire on August 19, 1998, unless extended. Both registered holders and beneficial holders of Shares held in nominee form are eligible to participate. Material will be forwarded to eligible shareholders indicating how they can participate and other details about the program. If you are a resident of the United States, you are not eligible to sell Shares under the Program.
Northrock has retained The Proxy Solicitation Company Ltd. of Toronto, Ontario, to manage the Program and to handle share transactions and payment. Questions regarding the Program should be directed to them at 1-800-890-1037.
