The Company also provides this bi-weekly default status report (the "Default Status Report") in accordance with National Policy 12- 203 Management Cease Trade Orders ("NP 12-203"). On April 20, 2023, the Company announced (the "Default Announcement") that, for reasons disclosed in the Default Announcement, the filing of the Company's Annual Filings would not be completed by the prescribed deadline of May 1, 2023. As a result of this delay in filing the Annual Filings, the Company's principal regulator, British Columbia Securities Commission, granted the MCTO to the Company. The MCTO prohibits all trading by the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, and such other directors, officers and persons as determined by the applicable regulatory authorities, in securities of the Company until the MCTO is revoked. Pursuant to the provisions of the alternative information guidelines specified by NP 12-203, the Company reports that since the Default Announcement, except as stated in this Default Status Report, there have not been any changes to the information contained therein that would reasonably be expected to be material to an investor; nor any failure by the Company to fulfil its intentions as stated therein with respect to satisfying the provisions of the alternative information guidelines, and there are no additional defaults or anticipated defaults subsequent to the disclosure therein. Further, other than as set forth below, there is no additional material information respecting the Company and its affairs that have not been generally disclosed and there are no insolvency proceedings against the Company as of the date of this Default Status Report.

As previously announced by the Company, the Company has entered into a Business Disposition Agreement dated March 22, 2023 with GlobalBlock Ltd.
