--->ny's future plans
 and objectives or expected results, are "Forward-Looking Statements" within the meaning of Section 21E of the United 
--->States Securities
 Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and Canadian securities laws. Forward Looking Statements are based on numerous assum

--->requirements; the

--->strategy. These
 assumptions should be considered carefully by readers. Readers are further cautioned that the foregoing list of assum
--->ptions is not
 exhaustive. Although the Company believes that the assumptions on which the forward-looking statements or information
---> are made are
 reasonable, based on the information available to the Company on the date such statements were made, no assurances ca
--->n be given as
