Neither TSXV nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that
term is defined in policies of the TSXV) accepts responsibility for
the adequacy or accuracy of this news release.
CAUTIONARY NOTE
Book value per share is a non-IFRS
measure calculated as the total of shareholders' equity divided by
the issued and outstanding shares of Itasca. The term "book value
per share" does not have any standardized meaning according to IFRS
and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented
by other companies. There is no comparable IFRS measure presented
in Itasca's consolidated financial statements and thus no
applicable quantitative reconciliation for such non-IFRS financial
measure. Itasca believes that book value per share can provide
information useful to its shareholders.
