This press release does not contain all of the information that would normally
appear in a prospectus under applicable Canadian securities laws. No securities
commission or similar authority in Canada has reviewed or in any way passed upon
this press release or the merits of the securities. Any representation to the
contrary is an offense. This press release is not, and under no circumstances is
to be construed as, a prospectus, an advertisement or a public offering of the

Obligations (âNI 31-103â) of the Canadian Securities Administrators; and (d)

Matters discussed in this announcement may constitute forward-looking
statements. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical
facts and may be identified by words such as âbelieveâ, âexpectâ, âanticipateâ,
âstrategyâ, âintendsâ, âestimateâ, âwillâ, âmayâ, âcontinueâ, âshouldâ and
similar expressions. The forward-looking statements in this release are based
upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further
assumptions. Although the Seller believes that these assumptions were reasonable
when made, these assumptions are inherently subject to significant known and
unknown risks, uncertainties, contingencies and other important factors which
are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond their control.
By their nature, forward-looking statements are subject to numerous factors,
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes and results to be
materially different from those projected. Readers are cautioned not to place
undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Except for any ongoing
obligation to disclose material information as required by the applicable law,
