The designation and number or principal amount of securities and the offeror's securityholding percentage in the class of securities of which the offeror acquired ownership or control in the transaction or occurrence giving rise to the obligation to file the news release, and whether it was ownership or control that was acquired in those circumstances:

On April 23, 2007, the offeror acquired a promissory note in the principal amount of $750,000, which is convertible at the option of the offeror into common shares of Q2 Gold Resources Inc. (“Q2 Gold”) at a conversion price of $0.10 per share, pursuant to a convertible loan agreement. On September 23, 2008, the offeror agreed to lend Q2 Gold up to a further principal amount of $750,000, to be advanced from time to time as required, on the same terms.

As at March 31, 2009, Q2 Gold owed the offeror $950,000 on account of principal advanced and a further $100,000 in accrued interest. If the total of $1,050,000 owing on account of principal and interest as of March 31, 2009 were converted into shares of Q2, Corriente would hold 10,500,000 common shares of Q2 Gold, representing 29.6% of its then-outstanding common shares.

As of the date hereof, no part of the convertible promissory note has been converted, and the offeror holds no common shares of Q2 Gold.

(f)

The purpose of the offeror and any joint actors in effecting the transaction or occurrence that gave rise to the news release, including any future intention to acquire ownership of, or control over, additional securities of the reporting issuer:

The convertible promissory note was issued to the offeror in connection with a loan to Q2 Gold in the aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000 to allow it to meet its expenses. The offeror may acquire ownership of, or control or direction over, additional securities of Q2 Gold in the future.
