FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This press release contains forward-looking statements. More particularly, this press release contains statements concerning the use of proceeds of the Offering.

Certain of these risks are set out in more detail in Antler Creek's Annual Information Form which has been filed on SEDAR and can be accessed at www.sedar.com.
