US$100,000 had been drawn in March 2019, and US$100,000 in April 2019. The funds are expected to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes while the Company explores new business opportunities.

The Facility and the issuance of Common Shares upon conversion and in satisfaction of interest thereunder remains subject to the approval of the TSXV.
