In making the forward-looking statements in this Offering Document, the Issuer has applied several material assumptions, including without limitation: the Issuer obtaining requisite regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of other conditions to the consummation of the Offering on the proposed terms herein; the Issuer’s ability to comply with all applicable regulations and laws, including environmental, health and safety laws; the Issuer’s ability to meet the listing requirements of the CSE; the Issuer having sufficient working capital for future operating activities; the ability of the Issuer to achieve its business objectives and milestones and the anticipated timing of execution; the Issuer’s ability to continue as a going concern; the Issuer’s ability to obtain additional financing for continued operations on terms acceptable to the Issuer; the Issuer’s ability to satisfy the terms and payment of cash commission and finder warrants to eligible finders; the Issuer’s ability to use the proceeds from the Offering for the business objectives outlined herein; and the Issuer’s ability to have sufficient cash and working capital for future operating activities.

Investors are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not based on historical facts but instead reflect expectations of the Issuer’s management, estimates or projections concerning future results or events based on the opinions, assumptions and estimates of management considered reasonable at the date the statements are made. Although the Issuer believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, such information involves risks and uncertainties, and under reliance should not be placed on such information, as unknown or unpredictable factors could have material adverse effects on future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the Issuer. Among the key risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements are the following: changes in general economic, business and political conditions, including changes in the financial markets; the inability of the Issuer to complete the Offering on the terms contemplated herein; delays or the inability of the Issuer to obtain necessary permits, consents or authorizations required; changes in laws, regulations and policies affecting the Issuer’s operations; currency fluctuations; environmental issues and liabilities; the potential impact of the announcement or consummation of the Offering on relationship, including with regulatory bodies, employees, suppliers, customers and competitors; the Issuer’s inability to continue to meet the listing requirements of the CSE; the inability of the Issuer to obtain additional financing for continued operations on terms acceptable to the Issuer; risks relating to investing in the Common Shares; risks relating to the use of proceeds from the Offering; volatility in the market price of the Common Shares; dilution of shareholders’ holdings; negative operating cash flow; the negative effects of interest rate and exchange rate changes; risks relating to the Issuer’s reliance on key employees; limitations in the liquidity of the Common Shares; litigation risks; risks with the integration of new businesses and acquisitions; the Issuer’s inability to continue as a going concern as well as those factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Issuer’s filing statement dated February 10, 2023 and other filings of the Issuer, copies of which can be found under the Issuer’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as intended, planned, anticipated, believed, estimated or expected. Although the Issuer has attempted to identify important risks, uncertainties and factors which could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be others that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. The Issuer does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update this forward-looking information except as otherwise required by applicable law.

The above noted allocation of capital and anticipated timing represents the Issuer’s current intentions based upon its present plans and business condition, which could change in the future as its plans and business conditions evolve. Although the Issuer intends to expend the proceeds from the Offering as set forth above, there may be circumstances where, for sound business reasons, a reallocation of funds may be deemed prudent or necessary and may vary materially from that set forth above, as the amounts actually allocated and spent will depend on a number of factors, including the Issuer’s ability to execute on its business plan. See the “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information” section above.

The most recent audited annual financial statements and interim financial report of the Issuer included a going concern note.

How have we used the other funds we have raised in the past 12 months?
