issuing 765,170 Units at a price of $0.18 per Unit, for aggregate gross proceeds of $137,730.60.
On August 22 , 2024, the Company announced a non-brokered private placement offering of Units (the “LIFE

Each Unit consists of one (1) common share in the capital of the Company (each, a “Common Share”) and one non-
transferable Common Share purchase warrant (each, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant is exercisable into one (1) Common
Share (each, a “ Warrant Share”) at a price of $0.26 per Warrant Share for a period of two (2) years following the
closing date of the Amended LIFE Offering, provided that, if the 10 -day volume-weighted average trading price of
the Common Shares as quoted on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) (or such other securities exchange
on which the Common Shares may be traded at such time) is equal to or greater than $0.40 at the close of any
trading day, then the Company may, at its discretion, accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants by issuing a news
release (a “Warrant Acceleration News Release”) announcing that the expiry date of the Warrants shall be deemed
to be on the 30th day following the date of the Warrant Acceleration News Release (the “Accelerated Expiry Date”)
(the “ Acceleration Clause”). All Warrants that remain unexercised following the Accelerated Expiry Date shall
immediately expire and all rights of holders of such Warrant shall be terminated without any compensation to such
holder. Units offered under the Life Exemption will not be subject to resale restrictions for Canadian resident
investors pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws.
None of the securities issued in connection with the Amended LIFE Offering will be registered under the United
States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and none of them may be offered or sold in the United
States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act. This news
release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the
securities in any state where such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful.
The close of the LIFE Offering is subject to certain conditions, including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary
regulatory and other approvals. The Company intends to use the proceeds of the LIFE Offering as disclosed in the
LIFE Offering Document dated 4th September 2024, which is available under the Company’s profile on
