On April 13, 2017, the Company was notified by the OTC Markets about certain promotional activities in relation to the Company’s common shares, including certain promotional newsletter emails.

Through this period since listing on the OTCQB, trading volume has averaged 307,000 shares per day on the Company’s principal market place in Canada.
