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
use of proceeds from the Company's recently completed financings and the future or prospects of the
Company. 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.
