Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing explicitly excludes the section titled "Updated Q3 2022 Outlook" from incorporation by reference into registration statements, indicating that forward-looking guidance is not contained within this specific text.

Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the total outstanding principal amount of the Nokomis Convertible Promissory Note to assess the impact of the increased 9.5% interest rate.
- Confirm the current share price relative to the US$1.03 warrant exercise price to evaluate the likelihood of dilution.
- Review the full "Updated Q3 2022 Outlook" document separately, as it is referenced but not included in this filing text.
- Check for any other outstanding debt maturities in 2023 that may be affected by the Company's liquidity position.
