Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information
This press release contains "forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable Canadian
securities legislation. Forward-looking information includes, without limitation, statements regarding the
issuance of compensation securities pursuant to the new Omnibus Plan. Generally, forward-looking
information can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "plans", "expects" or
"does not expect", "is expected", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends",
"anticipates" or "does not anticipate", or "believes", or variations of such words and phrases or state that
certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will be taken", "occur" or "be
achieved".
Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of assumptions that, while
considered reasonable by management, are inherently subject to business, market, and economic risks,
uncertainties, and contingencies that may cause actual results, performance, or achievements to be
materially different from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. Although the
Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those contained in forward-looking information, other factors may cause results not to be as
anticipated, estimated, or intended. There can be no assurance that such information will prove to be
accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such
statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information. Other
factors which could materially affect such forward-looking information are described in the risk factors in
the Company's most recent annual management discussion and analysis. The Company does not
undertake to update any forward-looking information except in accordance with applicable securities
laws. Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in
policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this
release.
