The foregoing transactions are subject to approval of the directors of the Company and regulatory approval from the TSX Venture Exchange (the“ Exchange ”).

The transactions are each exempt from the formal valuation approval requirements of MI 61-101 as none of the securities of the Company are listed on a prescribed stock exchange. The transactions are each exempt from the minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as at the time they were agreed to, neither the fair market value of the transaction, nor the fair market value of the consideration for the transaction, insofar as they involve interested parties, exceeded 25% of the Company's market capitalization, respectively.
