Additional information on the expected use of the net proceeds from the Offering is disclosed in the short form prospectus. The Offering is subject to final acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV"). The TSXV has conditionally accepted the Offering and the listing of the Convertible Debentures.
