closing date of the Private Placement is expected to occur on or about August
15, 2014 and is subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals,
including the TSX Venture Exchange. The securities issued pursuant to the
Private Placement will be subject to a four month hold period in accordance with
applicable Canadian securities laws. Certain directors and/or officers of the
Company are expected to participate in the Private Placement for a total of up
to 7,000,000 units.
