This presentation includes certain statements that constitute “forward-looking statements”, and “forward-looking information” within the meaning
of applicable securities laws (“forward-looking statements” and “forward-looking information” are collectively referred to as “forward-looking
statements”, unless otherwise stated). These statements appear in a number of places in this presentation and include statements regarding our
intent, or the beliefs or current expectations of our officers and directors. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and
uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or
achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. When used in this presentation words such as “believe”, “anticipate”,

derived utilizing numerous assumptions regarding expected growth, results of operations, performance and business prospects and opportunities

Forward-looking statements are based on information available at the time those statements are made and/or management's good faith belief as of
that time with respect to future events, and are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including inherent risks and uncertainties
in a suspension and restart of operations, the effect of the Company’s non-compliance with its debt covenants and other financing arrangements,
uncertainties with respect to servicing the financings and those risks and uncertainties outlined in our most recent AIF and other documents filed
on www.sedar.com, that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forwardlooking statements. To the extent any forward-looking statements constitute future-oriented financial information or financial outlooks, as those
terms are defined under applicable Canadian securities laws, such statements are being provided to describe the current anticipated potential of
the Company and readers are cautioned that these statements may not be appropriate for any other purpose, including investment decisions.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date those statements are made. Except as required by applicable law, we assume no obligation
to update or to publicly announce the results of any change to any forward-looking statement contained or incorporated by reference herein to
reflect actual results, future events or developments, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting the forward- looking
statements, except as required by law. If we update any one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make
additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements. You should not place undue importance on forward-looking
statements and should not rely upon these statements as of any other date. All forward-looking statements contained in this presentation are
expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.
