Forward-Looking Statements

Except for the statements of historical fact contained herein, the

information presented in this news release and oral statements

made from time to time by representatives of the Company are or

may constitute "forward-looking statements" as such term is used in

applicable United States and Canadian laws and including, without

limitation, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation

Reform Act of 1995, for which the Company claims the protection of

the safe harbor for forward-looking statements. Such forward-

looking statements and forward-looking information include, but are

not limited to, the proposed benefits of the Arrangement. These

statements relate to analyses and other information that are based

on forecasts of future results, estimates of amounts not yet

determinable and assumptions of management. Any other

statements that express or involve discussions with respect to

predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives,

assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always,

using words or phrases such as "expects" or "does not expect," "is

expected," "anticipates" or "does not anticipate," "plans," "estimates"

or "intends," or stating that certain actions, events or results "may,"

"could," "would," "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved) are

not statements of historical fact and should be viewed as forward-

looking statements. Such forward-looking statements involve known

and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause

the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to

be materially different from any future results, performance or

achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking

statements. Such risks and other factors include, among others, the

availability of capital to fund programs and the resulting dilution

caused by the raising of capital through the sale of shares, continuity

of agreements with third parties, the satisfaction of the conditions to

the Arrangement, risks and uncertainties associated with the

environment and delays in obtaining governmental approvals,

permits or financing. Although the Company has attempted to

identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or

results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking

statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or

results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be

no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate as

actual results and future events could differ materially from those

anticipated in such statements. Although the Company believes that

the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are

based upon reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that

its expectations will be achieved. Forward-looking information is

subject to certain risks, trends and uncertainties that could cause

actual results to differ materially from those projected. Many of these

factors are beyond the Company's ability to control or predict.

Important factors that may cause actual results to differ materially

and that could impact the Company and the statements contained

in this news release can be found in the Company's filings on

SEDAR+. The Company assumes no obligation to update or

supplement any forward-looking statements whether as a result of

new information, future events or otherwise. Accordingly, readers

should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements

contained in this news release and in any document referred to in

this news release. This news release shall not constitute an offer to

sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities. Please refer to the

Company's most recent filings under its profile on SEDAR+
