relate to future events or future performance and reflect the expectations or beliefs of management of
the Company regarding future events. Generally, forward-looking statements and information can be
identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “intends” or “anticipates”, or variations of
such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “should”,

In making the forward-looking statements in this news release, the Company has applied certain

and carry out its drilling and expansion plans as anticipated.
These forward‐looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties and actual results might
differ materially from results suggested in any forward-looking statements. These risks and
uncertainties include, among other things, that the Company will not receive the required regulatory
approvals or approval from the CSE in connection with the Offering, that the Company will not
complete the Offering as currently anticipated, that the Company will not use the proceeds of the
Offering as expected and that expansion and drilling does not progress as anticipated.
Although management of the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements or
forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause 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.
Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements and
forward-looking information. Readers are cautioned that reliance on such information may not be
appropriate for other purposes. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking
statement, forward-looking information or financial out-look that are incorporated by reference herein,
