Except for any disclosures contained in this news release to the contrary, the information contained in the Previous Releases remains accurate.

Other Sources Loan

The Company is in the process of obtaining loans totaling $2,000,000 (the "Other Sources Loans"), from certain lenders to the Company which loans will be used to partially fund the Debenture Repurchase. The Other Sources Loans will provide an interest-bearing loan to the Company, bearing simple interest at 15% per annum (increased to 20% per annum after 120 days from the initial advance date), which loans can be prepaid without penalty and secured against the Repurchased Debentures until the Repurchased Debentures are cancelled.

The Company has secured commitments in the aggregate amount of $1,730,000 in connection with the Other Sources Loan. The Company is in the process of securing the remaining $270,000 principal amount partially comprising the Other Sources Loans.

Closing

The Other Sources Loans and Debenture Repurchase are expected to close once the Company has secured Other Sources Loans in the amount of $2,000,000 and is subject to receipt of final approval of the TSXV.

Cancellation of the Repurchased Debentures, the Shares for Debt Settlement and the Delisting are expected to occur following the record date for the Rights Offering and are subject to final approval of the TSXV.
