The Securities may be offered separately or together, in amounts, at prices and on terms determined based on market conditions at the time of the sale and as set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement (a "Prospectus Supplement").
All shelf information permitted under applicable laws to be omitted from this Prospectus will be contained in one or more Prospectus Supplements that will be delivered to purchasers together with this Prospectus. Each Prospectus Supplement containing the specific terms of any Securities will be incorporated by reference into this Prospectus for the purposes of securities legislation as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement and only for the purposes of the distribution of the Securities to which the Prospectus Supplement pertains.
The specific terms of any Securities offered will be described in a Prospectus Supplement, including, where applicable: (i) in the case of Common Shares, the number of Common Shares offered, the offering price (in the event the offering is a fixed price distribution), the manner of determining the offering price(s) (in the event the offering is a non-fixed price distribution) and any other specific terms; (ii) in the case of Warrants, the number of Warrants being offered, the offering price (in the event the offering is a fixed price distribution), the manner of determining the offering price(s) (in the event the offering is a non-fixed price distribution), the designation, number and terms of the other Securities purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants, and any procedures that will result in the adjustment of those numbers, the exercise price, the dates and periods of exercise and any other specific terms; (iii) in the case of Units, the number of Units offered, the offering price (in the event the offering is a fixed price distribution), the manner of determining the offering price(s) (in the event the offering is a non-fixed price distribution), the designation, number and terms of the other Securities comprising the Units, and any other specific terms; (iv) in the case of Subscription Receipts, the number of Subscription Receipts being offered, the offering price (in the event the offering is a fixed price distribution), the manner of determining the offering price(s) (in the event the offering is a non-fixed price distribution), the terms, conditions and procedures for the conversion of the Subscription Receipts into other Securities, the designation, number and terms of such other Securities, and any other specific terms; and (v) in the case of Debt Securities, the designation of the Debt Securities, the aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities being offered, the currency or currency unit in which the Debt Securities may be purchased, authorized denominations, whether payment on the Debt Securities will be senior or subordinated to the Corporation's other liabilities and obligations, the nature and priority of any security for the Debt Securities, any limit on the aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of the series being offered, the issue and delivery date, the maturity date, the offering price (at par, discount or at a premium), the interest rate or method of determining the interest rate, the interest payment date(s), any conversion or exchange rights that are attached to the Debt Securities, any redemption provisions, any repayment provisions, any arrangements with the trustee for the Debt Securities and any other specific terms. A Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular offering of Securities may include terms pertaining to the Securities being offered thereunder that are not within the terms and parameters described in this Prospectus.
The Corporation or a selling securityholder may offer and sell the Securities to or through underwriters or dealers purchasing as principals and may also sell directly to one or more purchasers or through agents or pursuant to applicable statutory exemptions. See "Plan of Distribution". The Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular offering of Securities will identify each underwriter, dealer or agent or selling securityholder, as the case may be, engaged by the Corporation in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities, and will set forth the terms of the offering of such Securities, including, to the extent applicable, any fees, discounts or any other compensation payable to underwriters, dealers or agents in connection with the offering, the method of distribution of the Securities, the initial issue price (in the event that the offering is a fixed price distribution), the proceeds that the Corporation will receive and any other material terms of the plan of distribution.
The Securities may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices or at non-fixed prices. If offered on a non-fixed price basis, the Securities may be offered at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices determined by reference to the prevailing price of a specified security in a specified market or at prices to be negotiated with purchasers, in which case the compensation payable to an underwriter, dealer or agent in connection with any such sale will be decreased by the amount, if any, by which the aggregate price paid for the Securities by the purchasers is less than the gross proceeds paid by the underwriter, dealer or agent to the Corporation. The price at which the Securities will be offered and sold may vary from purchaser to purchaser and during the period of distribution. This Prospectus may qualify an "at-the-market distribution", as defined under National Instrument 44-102 – Shelf Distributions (an "ATM Distribution"). However, there may be market-based limitations affecting how much the Corporation may raise under an ATM Distribution based on the Corporation's historical trading activity. The Corporation has not engaged any investment dealer in respect of an ATM Distribution, and there is a possibility that the Corporation may not establish an ATM Distribution at all.
In connection with any offering of Securities, other than in relation to an ATM Distribution, the underwriters, dealers, or agents, as the case may be, may over-allot or effect transactions which stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the Securities at a level other than those which otherwise might prevail on the open market. Such transactions may be commenced, interrupted, or discontinued at any time. See "Plan of Distribution".
The Common Shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") under the symbol "AGMR". On November 8, 2022, the last trading day prior to the date of this Prospectus, the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSXV was $0.335. The offering of any securities under this Prospectus and any Prospectus Supplement is subject to approval of certain legal matters on behalf of the Corporation by Dentons Canada LLP.
Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, each series or issue of Securities (other than Common Shares) will be a new issue of Securities with no established trading market. Accordingly, there is currently no market through which the Securities (other than Common Shares) may be sold, and purchasers may not be able to resell such Securities purchased under this Prospectus. This may affect the pricing of such Securities in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of such Securities and the extent of issuer regulation. See "Risk Factors".
Prospective investors should be aware that the purchase of Securities may have tax consequences that may not be fully described in this Prospectus or in any Prospectus Supplement, and should carefully review the tax discussion, if any, in the applicable Prospectus Supplement and in any event consult with a tax adviser.
An investment in the Securities is subject to a number of risks. See "Risk Factors" for a more complete discussion of these risks.
No person is authorized by the Corporation to provide any information or to make any representation other than as contained in this Prospectus in connection with the issue and sale of the Securities offered hereunder.
No underwriter has been involved in the preparation of this Prospectus or performed any review of the contents hereof.
The Corporation is not making an offer of the Securities in any jurisdiction where such offer is not permitted.

MARKET AND INDUSTRY DATA
Unless otherwise indicated, market data and certain industry data and forecasts included in this Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein concerning the Corporation's industry and the markets in which the Corporation operates or seeks to operate were obtained from internal company surveys, market research, publicly available information, reports of governmental agencies and industry publications and surveys. The Corporation has relied upon industry publications as the Corporation's primary sources of third-party industry data and forecasts. The Corporation has not independently verified any of the data from third-party sources, nor has the Corporation ascertained the underlying assumptions relied upon therein. Similarly, internal surveys, industry forecasts and market research, which the Corporation believes to be reliable based upon the Corporation's knowledge of the industry, have not been independently verified, and the Corporation does not know what assumptions were used in their preparation. By their nature, forecasts are particularly subject to change or inaccuracies, especially over long periods. While the Corporation is not aware of any misstatements regarding the industry data presented herein or via the documents incorporated herein by reference, estimates involve risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors, including those discussed under "Forward-Looking and Other Statements" and "Risk Factors" in this Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein. While the Corporation believes that its internal research is reliable and market definitions are appropriate, neither such research nor definitions have been verified by any independent source.
SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Scientific and technical information relating to the Project (as defined herein) contained in this Prospectus is derived from, and in some instances is a direct extract from, and based on the assumptions, qualifications and procedures set out in, the technical report entitled "National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report – Castrovirreyna Project, Peru", dated October 6, 2021 and amended November 18, 2021 with an effective date of August 17, 2021, prepared by Antonio Cruz Bermudez (the "Castrovirreyna Technical Report"). Reference should be made to the full text of the Castrovirreyna Technical Report, which is available for review under the Corporation's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
If, after the date of this Prospectus, the Corporation is required by Section 4.2(1)(j) of National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") to file a technical report to support scientific or technical information that relates to a mineral project on a property material to the Corporation and the exemption under Section 9.2 of NI 43-101 is not available, the Corporation will file such technical report in accordance with Section 4.2(5)(a)(i) of NI 43-101 as if the words "preliminary short form prospectus" refer to a "shelf prospectus supplement".
CIM Definition Standards
The following definitions are reproduced from the CIM Definition Standards:
"Indicated Mineral Resource" means that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape, and physical characteristics are estimated with sufficient confidence to allow the application of Modifying Factors as described below in sufficient detail to support mine planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. Geological evidence is derived from adequately detailed and reliable exploration, sampling and testing and is sufficient to assume geological and grade or quality continuity between points of observation. An Indicated Mineral Resource has a lower level of confidence than that applying to a Measured Mineral Resource and may only be converted to a Probable Mineral Reserve.
"Inferred Mineral Resource" means that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity and grade or quality are estimated on the basis of limited geological evidence and sampling. Geological evidence is sufficient to imply but not verify geological and grade or quality continuity. An Inferred Mineral Resource has a lower level of confidence than that applying to an Indicated Mineral Resource and must not be converted to a Mineral Reserve. It is reasonably expected that the majority of Inferred Mineral Resources could be upgraded to Indicated Mineral Resources with continued exploration.
"Measured Mineral Resource" means that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape, and physical characteristics are estimated with confidence sufficient to allow the application of Modifying Factors to support detailed mine planning and final evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. Geological evidence is derived from detailed and reliable exploration, sampling and testing and is sufficient to confirm geological and grade or quality continuity between points of observation. A Measured Mineral Resource has a higher level of confidence than that applying to either an Indicated Mineral Resource or an Inferred Mineral Resource. It may be converted to a Proven Mineral Reserve or to a Probable Mineral Reserve.
"Mineral Reserve" means the economically mineable part of a Measured and/or Indicated Mineral Resource. It includes diluting materials and allowances for losses, which may occur when the material is mined or extracted and is defined by studies at pre-feasibility or feasibility level as appropriate that include application of Modifying Factors. Such studies demonstrate that, at the time of reporting, extraction could reasonably be justified. The reference point at which Mineral Reserves are defined, usually the point where the ore is delivered to the processing plant, must be stated. It is important that, in all situations where the reference point is different, such as for a saleable product, a clarifying statement is included to ensure that the reader is fully informed as to what is being reported. The public disclosure of a Mineral Reserve must be demonstrated by a pre-feasibility study or feasibility study.
"Mineral Resource" means a concentration or occurrence of solid material of economic interest in or on the Earth's crust in such form, grade or quality and quantity that there are reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction. The location, quantity, grade or quality, continuity and other geological characteristics of a Mineral Resource are known, estimated, or interpreted from specific geological evidence and knowledge, including sampling.
"Probable Mineral Reserve" means the economically mineable part of an Indicated, and in some circumstances, a Measured Mineral Resource. The confidence in the Modifying Factors applying to a Probable Mineral Reserve is lower than that applying to a Proven Mineral Reserve.
"Proven Mineral Reserve" means the economically mineable part of a Measured Mineral Resource. A Proven Mineral Reserve implies a high degree of confidence in the Modifying Factors.
For the purposes of the CIM Definition Standards, "Modifying Factors" are considerations used to convert Mineral Resources to Mineral Reserves. These include, but are not restricted to, mining, processing, metallurgical, infrastructure, economic, marketing, legal, environmental, social, and governmental factors.

The Advertising Agreement is effective as of February 2, 2022 and is valid until February 2, 2024, however, the Advertising Agreement may be terminated by the Corporation or Gold Standard at any time. Pursuant to the Advertising Agreement, Gold Standard will assist the Corporation with: the creation of landing pages, native advertisements, email marketing, influencer endorsement and publications for increasing awareness about the Corporation (collectively, the "Services"). The Services are ongoing and will continue to be provided by the Service Providers (as defined below) until the end of the term of the Advertising Agreement, unless terminated earlier by either party.
The Services are to be provided by Gold Standard together with its affiliates, Future Money Trends LLC, Wealth Research Group LLC and Portfolio Wealth Global LLC (collectively, the "Service Providers"). Gold Standard and its affiliates manage a marketing team that provides services for a broad range of companies listed on recognized stock exchanges, including the TSXV and New York Stock Exchange since 2010.
The total compensation payable to the Service Providers pursuant to the Advertising Agreement is as follows:
| Service Provider | Compensation |
|---|---|
| Gold Standard Media, LLC | CAD$12,500 per month and USD$5,000 per month |
| Future Money Trends LLC | CAD$12,500 per month and USD$6,250 per month |

All of the Newsletters were distributed by the Service Providers in connection with the Advertising Agreement and, therefore, paid for by the Corporation. The Corporation does not believe the statements in the Newsletters were false or misleading.
None of the Corporation and its officers were involved, directly, with the creation of the Newsletters. The Corporation provided the Service Providers publicly available information in respect of the Corporation for the Newsletters and did not have editorial control over the Newsletters, including reviewing the Newsletters for factual accuracy prior to their dissemination.
The Corporation does not believe the statements in the Newsletters were false or misleading, however, the Corporation wishes to caution readers that these statements are speculative in nature. In addition, given that the Advertising Agreement became effective as of February 2, 2022, the Corporation acknowledges that the Advertising Agreement should have been announced via press release in February 2022 in accordance with the policies of the TSXV. The Corporation has taken steps to ensure that such noncompliance does not occur in the future, including: (i) the Corporation's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer having completed the Toronto Stock Exchange's public company course at Osgoode Hall Law School; and (ii) external counsel to the Corporation having led meetings with the Corporation's senior management team and board of directors to review the policies of the TSXV and the requirements of applicable securities laws.
In addition, following the dissemination of the Newsletters, the Corporation has implemented a procedure whereby any content produced and proposed to be disseminated by an investor relations service provider is first sent to each of the Corporation's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chair of the Board for review. The Chief Financial Officer will take primary responsibility and will review and approve all content prior to dissemination, with direct oversight from the Chief Executive Officer. The Corporation will also seek the input of external legal counsel where appropriate. The Corporation has communicated this procedure to the Service Providers and will communicate the procedure to any future investor relations service provider engaged by the Corporation.
The Corporation has received a letter from the compliance group at the TSXV noting that the Corporation has contravened certain policies of the TSXV in connection with the filing of the Advertising Agreement and the content of the Newsletters. The TSXV has advised that they are not taking any action against the Corporation in respect of the foregoing but that such contraventions will be considered further in the event that the Corporation contravenes TSXV policies in the future.
The Corporation has also received a letter from OTC Markets Group Inc. (the "Promotion Request") requesting that the Corporation issue a press release containing additional information regarding the promotional activities undertaken in connection with the Advertising Agreement, including the publishing of the Newsletters.

• The Corporation originally expected to commence the refurbishment of its processing plant in Q1- Q2 2022.

- The Corporation originally expected to complete the refurbishment of its processing plant in Q1 2023. The Corporation now expects to complete the refurbishment of its processing plant in Q2 2023. The delay is a result of the delay in commencing the refurbishment of the processing plant.

For greater certainty, this Prospectus may qualify for issuance Debt Securities in respect of which the payment of principal, premium and/or interest may be determined, in whole or in part, by reference to published rates of a central banking authority or one or more financial institutions, such as a prime rate or a bankers' acceptance rate, or to recognized market benchmark interest rates.

DIVIDENDS
The Corporation has not previously paid any dividends on its Common Shares. While the Corporation is not restricted from paying dividends other than pursuant to certain solvency tests prescribed under the CBCA, the Corporation does not intend to pay dividends on any of its Common Shares in the foreseeable future.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The use of proceeds from the sale of Securities will be described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement relating to a specific offering and sale of Securities. The Corporation will not receive any proceeds from the sale of Securities by selling securityholders.
Management of the Corporation will retain broad discretion in allocating the net proceeds of any offering of Securities under this Prospectus and the Corporation's actual use of the net proceeds will vary depending on its operating and capital needs from time to time.
The Corporation has a history of negative cash flow from operating activities. To the extent that the Corporation has negative operating cash flows in future periods, the Corporation may need to deploy a portion of its existing working capital to fund such negative cash flow. As of June 30, 2022, the Corporation had cash and cash equivalents on hand of approximately US$17.36 million and working capital of approximately US$15.67 million.
The Corporation may, from time to time, issue securities (including Securities) other than pursuant to this Prospectus.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Corporation may from time to time during the 25-month period that this Prospectus, including any amendments and supplements hereto, remains valid, offer for sale and issue up to an aggregate of $25,000,000 in Securities hereunder.
The Corporation may offer and sell the Securities to or through underwriters or dealers purchasing as principals and may also sell directly to one or more purchasers or through agents or pursuant to applicable statutory exemptions. The Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular offering of Securities will identify each underwriter, dealer or agent, as the case may be, engaged by the Corporation in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities, and will set forth the terms of the offering of such Securities, including, to the extent applicable, any fees, discounts or any other compensation payable to underwriters, dealers or agents in connection with the offering, the method of distribution of the Securities, the initial issue price (in the event that the offering is a fixed price distribution), the proceeds that the Corporation will receive and any other material terms of the plan of distribution. Any initial offering price and discounts, concessions or commissions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.
The Securities may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices or at non-fixed prices. If offered on a non-fixed price basis, the Securities may be offered at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices determined by reference to the prevailing price of a specified security in a specified market or at prices to be negotiated with purchasers, in which case the compensation payable to an underwriter, dealer or agent in connection with any such sale will be decreased by the amount, if any, by which the aggregate price paid for the Securities by the purchasers is less than the gross proceeds paid by the underwriter, dealer or agent to the Corporation. The price at which the Securities will be offered and sold may vary from purchaser to purchaser and during the period of distribution.
In connection with the sale of the Securities, underwriters, dealers or agents may receive compensation from the Corporation or from other parties, including in the form of underwriters', dealers' or agents' fees, commissions or concessions. Underwriters, dealers, and agents that participate in the distribution of the Securities may be deemed to be underwriters for the purposes of applicable Canadian securities legislation and any such compensation received by them from the Corporation and any profit on the resale of the Securities by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions.
In connection with any offering of Securities, other than in relation to an ATM Distribution, the underwriters, dealers or agents, as the case may be, may over-allot or effect transactions which stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the Securities at a level other than those which otherwise might prevail on the open market. Such transactions may be commenced, interrupted, or discontinued at any time.
Underwriters, dealers or agents who participate in the distribution of the Securities may be entitled, under agreements to be entered into with the Corporation, to indemnification by the Corporation against certain liabilities, including liabilities under Canadian securities legislation, or to contribution with respect to payments, which such underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make in respect thereof. Such underwriters, dealers and agents may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for, the Corporation in the ordinary course of business.
Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, each series or issue of Securities (other than Common Shares) will be a new issue of Securities with no established trading market. Accordingly, there is currently no market through which the Securities (other than Common Shares) may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell such Securities purchased under this Prospectus. This may affect the pricing of such Securities in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of such Securities and the extent of issuer regulation. The Corporation may elect to list any of the Securities on one or more exchanges, but unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Corporation shall not be obligated to do so. In addition, underwriters will not be obligated to make a market in any securities. No assurance can be given regarding the activity of trading in, or liquidity of, any Securities. See "Risk Factors".
This Prospectus constitutes a public offering of these Securities only in those jurisdictions where they may be lawfully offered for sale and therein only by persons permitted to sell such Securities. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Securities have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act or any state securities laws. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Securities may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons, unless the Securities are registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration requirements is available. Each underwriter, dealer and agent who participates in the distribution will agree not to sell or offer to sell or to solicit any offer to buy any Securities within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, a U.S. person, except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws. This Prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of these Securities in the United States.
SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS
Securities may be sold under this Prospectus by way of secondary offering by or for the account of certain of the Corporation's securityholders (other than in connection with any "at-the-market distribution"). Any Prospectus Supplement filed in connection with an offering of Securities by selling securityholders will include the following information: (i) the names of the selling securityholders; (ii) the number or amount of Securities owned, controlled or directed of the class being distributed by each selling securityholder; (iii) the number or amount of Securities of the class being distributed for the account of each selling securityholder; (iv) the number or amount of Securities of any class to be owned, controlled or directed by the selling securityholders after the distribution and the percentage that number or amount represents of the total number of the Corporation's outstanding Securities; (v) whether the Securities are owned by the selling securityholders both of record and beneficially, of record only, or beneficially only; (vi) where applicable, the disclosure required by Form 44-101F1 – Short Form Prospectus, and selling securityholders will file a non-issuer's submission to jurisdiction form with the applicable Prospectus Supplement; and (vii) all other information that is required to be included in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.
CERTAIN CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The applicable Prospectus Supplement may describe certain Canadian federal income tax consequences to a purchaser who is a non-resident of Canada or to a purchaser who is a resident of Canada of acquiring, owning and disposing of any of the Securities offered thereunder.
RISK FACTORS
Before deciding to invest in any Securities, prospective purchasers of the Securities should consider carefully the risk factors and the other information contained and incorporated by reference in this Prospectus and the applicable Prospectus Supplement relating to a specific offering of Securities before purchasing the Securities. An investment in the Securities offered hereunder is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. Information regarding the risks affecting the Corporation and its business is provided in the documents incorporated by reference in this Prospectus, including in the IPO Prospectus and MD&A under the heading "Risk Factors". See "Documents Incorporated by Reference".
No Assurance of Active or Liquid Market
No assurance can be given that an active or liquid trading market for the Common Shares will be sustained. If an active or liquid market for the Common Shares fails to be sustained, the prices at which such Securities trade may be adversely affected. Whether or not the Common Shares will trade at lower prices depends on many factors, including the liquidity of the Common Shares, prevailing interest rates, the markets for similar securities, general economic conditions and the Corporation's financial condition, historic financial performance, and future prospects.
There is currently no market through which the Securities (other than the Common Shares) may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell such securities. This may affect the pricing of such Securities in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of such securities and the extent of issuer regulation.
Public Markets and Share Prices
The market price of the Common Shares and any other Securities offered hereunder that become listed and posted for trading on the TSXV or any other stock exchange could be subject to significant fluctuations in response to variations in the Corporation's operating results or other factors. In addition, fluctuations in the stock market may adversely affect the market price of the Common Shares and any other Securities offered hereunder that become listed and posted for trading on the TSXV or any other stock exchange regardless of the operating performance of the Corporation. Securities markets have also experienced significant price and volume fluctuations from time to time. In some instances, these fluctuations have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of issuers. Market fluctuations may adversely impact the market price of the Common Shares and any other Securities offered hereunder that become listed and posted for trading on the TSXV or any other stock exchange. There can be no assurance of the price at which the Common Shares and any other Securities offered hereunder that become listed and posted for trading on the TSXV or any other stock exchange will trade.
Use of the Net Proceeds from an Offering
Management of the Corporation will have broad discretion with respect to the application of net proceeds received by the Corporation from the sale of Securities under this Prospectus or a future Prospectus Supplement and may spend such proceeds in ways that do not improve the Corporation's results of operations or enhance the value of the Common Shares, or its other securities issued and outstanding from time to time. Any failure by management to apply these funds effectively could result in financial losses that could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's business or cause the price of the securities of the Corporation issued and outstanding from time to time to decline.
Additional Issuances and Dilution
The Corporation may issue and sell additional securities of the Corporation to finance its operations. The Corporation cannot predict the size or type of future issuances of securities of the Corporation or the effect, if any, that future issuances and sales of securities will have on the market price of any securities of the Corporation issued and outstanding from time to time. Sales or issuances of substantial amounts of securities of the Corporation, or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices for securities of the Corporation issued and outstanding from time to time. With any additional sale or issuance of securities of the Corporation, holders will suffer dilution with respect to voting power and may experience dilution in the Corporation's earnings per share. Moreover, this Prospectus may create a perceived risk of dilution resulting in downward pressure on the price of the Corporation's issued and outstanding Common Shares, which could contribute to progressive declines in the prices of such securities.
No Dividends have been paid on the Common Shares
The Corporation has paid no cash dividends on any of its Common Shares to date and currently intends to retain its future earnings, if any, to fund the development growth of its businesses. In addition, the terms of any future debt or credit facility may preclude the Corporation from paying any dividends unless certain consents are obtained, and certain conditions are met.
Enforcement of Judgments Against Foreign Persons may not be Possible
Canadian investors should be aware that each of the non-resident members of the Board and management resides outside of Canada ("Non-Resident Persons"); as a result, it may not be possible for holders to effect service of process within Canada upon the Non-Resident Persons. All or a substantial portion of the assets of each of the Non-Resident Persons are likely to be located outside of Canada and, as a result, it may not be possible to satisfy a judgment against the Non-Resident Persons in Canada or to enforce a judgment obtained in Canadian courts against the Non-Resident Persons outside of Canada.
EXEMPTION

This exemption is granted on the condition that this Prospectus and any Prospectus Supplement (other than in relation to an ATM Distribution) be translated into French if the Corporation offers Securities to Québec purchasers in connection with an offering other than in relation to an ATM Distribution.

PURCHASERS' STATUTORY AND CONTRACTUAL RIGHTS
Securities legislation in certain of the provinces of Canada provides purchasers with the right to withdraw from an agreement to purchase securities. This right may be exercised within two business days after receipt or deemed receipt of a prospectus and any amendment. In several of the provinces, the securities legislation further provides a purchaser with remedies for rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revision of the price or damages if the prospectus and any amendment contains a misrepresentation or is not delivered to the purchaser, provided that the remedies for rescission, revision of the price or damages are exercised by the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by the securities legislation of the purchaser's province. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser's province for the particulars of these rights or consult with a legal adviser.
In addition, original purchasers of convertible, exchangeable or exercisable Securities (other than an offering of Warrants where such Warrants may reasonably be regarded as incidental to the offering as a whole) will have a contractual right of rescission against the Corporation in respect of the conversion, exchange or exercise of the convertible, exchangeable or exercisable Security. The contractual right of rescission will be further described in any applicable Prospectus Supplement, but will, in general, entitle such original purchasers to receive the amount paid for the applicable convertible, exchangeable or exercisable Security (and any additional amount paid upon conversion, exchange or exercise) upon surrender of the underlying securities acquired thereby, in the event that this Prospectus (as supplemented or amended) contains a misrepresentation, provided that: (i) the conversion, exchange or exercise takes place within 180 days of the date of the purchase of the convertible, exchangeable or exercisable Security under this Prospectus; and (ii) the right of rescission is exercised within 180 days of the date of the purchase of the convertible, exchangeable or exercisable security under this Prospectus.
In an offering of convertible, exchangeable or exercisable Subscription Receipts, Warrants or convertible, exchangeable or exercisable Debt Securities (or Units comprised partly thereof), investors are cautioned that the statutory right of action for damages for a misrepresentation contained in the prospectus is limited, in certain provincial and territorial securities legislation, to the price at which convertible, exchangeable or exercisable Subscription Receipts, Warrants or convertible, exchangeable or exercisable Debt Securities (or Units comprised partly thereof) are offered to the public under the prospectus offering. This means that, under the securities legislation of certain provinces and territories, if the purchaser pays additional amounts upon the conversion, exchange or exercise of the Security, those amounts may not be recoverable under the statutory right of action for damages that applies in those provinces or territories. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser's province for the particulars of this right of action for damages or consult with a legal advisor.
