actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially
different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied
by such statements or information. There can be no assurance that such
statements or information will prove to be accurate. Such statements and
information are based on numerous assumptions, including: the Company's ability
to satisfy the conditions precedent to the closing of the Offering, including
the satisfaction of customary due diligence and obtaining all necessary

or achievements to differ materially from those in the forward-looking
statements including, but not limited to: delays in obtaining all necessary
regulatory approvals and the timing thereof (including the acceptance of the
Offering by the TSXV and the listing of the common shares and the Warrants
issued thereunder on the TSXV); instability in the general economic and
financial conditions in Canada and the other jurisdictions where the Company
intends to distribute securities in connection with the Offering; fluctuations

cause results to differ materially from forward-looking statements. All forward-
looking statements contained in this news release are expressly qualified by
this cautionary statement.
Although the Company believes its expectations are based upon reasonable
assumptions and has attempted to identify important factors that could cause
actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in

events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. These factors
are not intended to represent a complete and exhaustive list of the factors that
could affect the Company; however, they should be considered carefully. There
can be no assurance that forward-looking information will prove to be accurate,
as actual results and future events could differ materially from those
anticipated in such information.

circumstances or Management's estimates, assumptions or opinions should change,
except as required by applicable law. The reader is cautioned not to place undue
reliance on forward-looking information. The forward-looking information
contained herein is presented for the purpose of assisting investors in
understanding the Company's expected financial and operational performance and
results as at and for the periods ended on the dates presented in the Company's
