(i) When measuring the lease liability for
the property lease that was classified as an operating lease, the Corporation discounted the lease payments using its incremental borrowing
rate. The original property lease had an expiration date of May 31, 2024, and the lease payments were discounted with a 9% interest
rate. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the property lease was extended to October 30, 2028. The lease liability was
revalued as of the extension date with lease payments discounted with a 15% interest rate.
On November 5, 2021, the Corporation issued
8,175,000 warrants as part of a unit financing. Each warrant was exercisable into one common share at the price of USD$3.75 per share
for a period of three years from closing. The warrants were classified as a derivative liability on the statement of financial position
and re-valued at each reporting date, as the warrants were issued in a currency other than the Corporation's functional currency. During
the three months ended March 31, 2024, the value of the derivative liability increased $1,808,603. During 2024, all 8,175,000 warrants
expired unexercised.
a) Authorized share capital
The authorized share capital consists of an unlimited
number of common shares. The common shares do not have a par value. All issued shares are fully paid.

The Corporation has adopted an Omnibus Equity
Incentive Plan in accordance with the policies of the TSX, which permits the grant or issuance of options, Restricted Share Units ("RSUs"),
Performance Share Units ("PSUs"), and Deferred Share Units ("DSUs"), as well as other share-based payment arrangements.
The maximum number of shares that may be issued upon the exercise or settlement of awards granted under the plan may not exceed 15% of
the Corporation's issued and outstanding shares from time to time. The Board of Directors determines the price per common share and the
number of common shares which may be allotted to directors, officers, employees, and consultants, and all other terms and conditions of
the option, subject to the rules of the TSX.
During the three months ended March 31,
2025, the total expenses related to share-based compensation amounted to $1,146,974 (three months ended March 31, 2024 -
$902,100). All outstanding awards are settleable with common shares and not cash.
