Disclaimer for Forward-Looking Information

Certain statements in this press release related to the Financing and the securities issuable thereunder are forward-looking statements and are prospective in nature. Forward-looking statements are not based on historical facts, but rather on current expectations and projections about future events, and are therefore subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from the future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as “may”, “should”, “will”, “could”, “intend”, “estimate”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “expect”, “believe” or “continue”, or the negative thereof or similar variations. Forward-looking statements in this news release include statements regarding the proceeds to be raised pursuant to the Financing, the terms of the securities issuable pursuant to the Financing, resale restrictions relating to the securities to be issued, the use of proceeds of the Financing and receipt of the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. Such statements are qualified in their entirety by the inherent risks and uncertainties surrounding the Company’s ability to complete the Financing, including the risk that the Financing may not be completed as expected or at all, that the security interests may not be as set out in this news release, that the proceeds of the Financing may be used other than as set out in this news release, that the TSX Venture Exchange may not approve the Financing and such other factors beyond the control of the Company. Such forward-looking statements should therefore be construed in light of such factors, and the Company is not under any obligation, and expressly disclaims any intention or obligation, to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
