If the Company provides such acceleration notice, then any unexercised Warrants will expire on the 30^th day after the date on which the news release is disseminated.

The Offering will be subscribed by 'accredited investors' under applicable securities laws, and the Company will be entering into formal subscription agreements with each investor to purchase the Units.

The Company may pay finders' fees to eligible finders in accordance with applicable securities laws and the policies of the CSE. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Offering for general working capital and corporate purposes.

The Units will be qualified under a shelf prospectus supplement (the "Prospectus Supplement") to be filed with the securities commissions in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, Manitoba, and Newfoundland and Labrador, prior to closing and in accordance with National Instrument 44-101 Short Form Prospectus Distributions and National Instrument 44-102 Shelf Distributions. The Offering will be made only by means of the Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying base shelf prospectus dated March 14, 2024 (the "Shelf Prospectus"). Complete details of the Offering will be set out in the Prospectus Supplement, and when available, the Prospectus Supplement together with the Shelf Prospectus can be obtained under the Company's SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca.

The Offering is expected to close on or about April 30, 2024 and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals and listings, including fulfilling applicable requirements of the CSE.

The securities referenced in this news release have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), or any applicable state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to "U.S. persons" (as such term is defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act) absent such registration or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements.
