--->ble note units of the Company (each, a "Unit") for gross proceeds of $926,000 through the issuance of 926 Units at a p

Pursuant to the Offering, each Unit is comprised of $1,000 in principal amount of an unsecured convertible note (each,

---> annum. Interest will be payable quarterly on the last business day of each quarter, commencing on June 30, 2022. The 
--->entire principal amount of the Notes may be converted at the election of the holder thereof into common shares in the 
--->capital of the Company (each, a "Common Share") at a conversion price of $1.60 per Common Share (the "Conversion Price
--->") at any time prior to the Maturity Date. Subject to prior approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"), the
---> accrued but unpaid interest may also be converted into Common Shares at a conversion price equal to the greater of (i
--->) $1.60 and (ii) the Market Price (as defined in the policies of the Exchange) as of the date of conversion.

Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share at a price of $1.60 per Common Share for a pe
--->riod of 24 months from the Closing, subject to the Company's acceleration right. The Company will have the right to ac
--->celerate the expiry date of the Warrants to a date which is 30 days after the date on which a written notice is provid
--->ed to the holders of Warrants if the daily volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares is greater than 
--->$2.25 for any 15 consecutive trading days on the Exchange, subject to receipt of any required approvals from the Excha
--->nge. 

In connection with the Private Placement, the Company paid Echelon Wealth Partners Inc. (the "Finders") cash finders' 
--->fees in aggregate of $68,250 and issued a total of 42,656 finder warrants to the Finders (the "Finder Warrants"). Each
---> Finder Warrant is exercisable at $1.60 for a period of twenty-four (24) months from the date of issuance. 

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to fund acquisitions, business development, and for gene
--->ral working capital purposes.

--->subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance of the Units. The Offering is 
--->subject to final approval by the Exchange.
