Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in such forward-looking information include, but are not limited to, the acceptance by the TSXV of the listing of the Warrants and other risks as more fully set out in the Filing Statement of the Company dated September 13, 2017.  

The forward-looking information in this news release reflects the current expectations, assumptions and/or beliefs of the Company based on information currently available to the Company. In connection with the forward-looking information contained in this news release, the Company has made assumptions about the Company’s ability to continue to list its common shares on the TSXV and to qualify to list the Warrants as a supplemental listing on the TSXV. The Company has also assumed that no significant events occur outside of the Company's normal course of business. Although the Company believes that the assumptions inherent in the forward-looking information are reasonable, forward-looking information is not a guarantee of future performance and accordingly undue reliance should not be put on such information due to the inherent uncertainty therein.
