Caution Regarding Forward-looking Statements

In this document and in other documents filed with Canadian regulatory
authorities or in other communications, the Company may from time to time make
written or oral forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable
securities legislation, including statements regarding the closing of the
financing and the Company's business plans and financial objectives. These
statements typically use words such as prospects, believe, estimate, forecast,
project, expect, anticipate, plan, may, should, could and would, or the negative
of these terms, variations thereof or similar terminology. By their very nature,
forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and involve inherent risks
and uncertainties, both general and specific in nature. It is therefore possible
that the forecasts, projections and other forward-looking statements will not be
achieved or will prove inaccurate. Although the Company believes that the
expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, it
provides no assurance that these expectations will prove to have been correct.
The Company cautions readers against placing undue reliance on forward-looking
statements when making decisions, as the actual results could differ
considerably from the opinions, plans, objectives, expectations, forecasts,
estimates and intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements due to
various material factors. Among other things, these factors include fiscal and
economic policies, changes in interest and foreign exchange rates, and general
economic conditions, legislative and regulatory developments, competition and
access to capital. The Company further cautions that the foregoing list of
factors is not exhaustive. For more information on the risks, uncertainties and
assumptions that would cause the Company's actual results to differ from current
expectations, please also refer to the Company's public filings available at
www.sedar.com. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking
statements, whether oral or written, made by itself or on its behalf, except to
the extent required by securities regulations.
