The NCIB is expected to commence on or about April 4, 2023 and terminate on April 3, 2024, or such earlier date on which purchases under the NCIB have been completed.

The average daily trading volume of the Shares on the TSX for the last six months is 303,825 Shares.

During the last twelve months, the Company has not purchased any Shares under a normal course issuer bid through the facilities of the TSX.

The Company believes the Shares may, from time to time, trade in a price range that does not adequately reflect the value of the in relation to the Company’s activities and future prospects. As a result, the Company believes the purchase of Shares, from time to time, would be an appropriate use of corporate funds in light of potential benefits to remaining shareholders.
