Investors are cautioned that, except as disclosed in the management information circular or filing statement to be prepared in
connection with the transaction, any information released or received with respect to the transaction may not be accurate or

The TSX Venture Exchange Inc. has in no way passed upon the merits of the proposed transaction and has neither approved
nor disapproved the contents of this press release.
This News Release includes certain "forward-looking statements". All statements other than statements of historical fact,
included in this release, including, without limitation, future plans and objectives of the Company, are forward-looking
statements that involve various risks and uncertainties. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be
accurate and actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Important
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company's expectations are the risks detailed herein and
from time to time in the filings made by the Company with securities regulators including the following: (i) the Company has
no commercial operations and has no history of profit; (ii) investment in the common shares of the Company is highly
speculative given the unknown nature of the Company's business and its present stage of development; (iii) there is no
assurance that the Company will find a profitable undertaking or that it can successfully conclude a purchase of such an
undertaking at all or on terms which are commercially acceptable; (iv) the directors and officers of the Company will only
devote a portion of their time to the business and affairs of the Company and some of them are or will be engaged in other
projects or businesses such that conflicts of interest may arise from time to time; and (v) there can be no assurance that an
active and liquid market for the Company's common shares will develop and an investor may find it difficult to resell its
common shares. This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect any of the Company's forward-looking statements.
These and other factors should be considered carefully and readers should not place undue reliance on the Company's
forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes that the assumptions and factors used in preparing the forward-
looking information in this news release are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on such information, which only
applies as of the date of this news release, and no assurance can be given that such events will occur in the disclosed time
frames or at all. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information,
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, other than as required by law.
Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the
TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
