Cautionary Note

This release includes certain statements and information that may constitute forward-

looking information within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws. Forward-

looking statements relate to future events or future performance and reflect the

expectations or beliefs of management of the Company regarding future events. Generally,

forward-looking statements and information can be identified by the use of forward-looking

terminology such as “intends” or “anticipates”, or variations of such words and phrases or

statements that certain actions, events or results “may” , “could”, “should”, “would”

or “occur”. This information and these statements, referred to herein as "forward-looking

statements" , are not historical facts, are made as of the date of this news release and

include without limitation, statements regarding discussions of future plans, estimates and

forecasts and statements as to management's expectations and intentions with respect to,

among other things, the completion of the private placement and receipt of TSX Venture

Exchange acceptance.

These forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties and actual

results might differ materially from results suggested in any forward-looking statements.

Such risks and uncertainties include, among other things, the ability of the Company to

obtain sufficient financing to fund its business activities and plans, delays in obtaining

governmental and regulatory approvals (including of the TSX Venture Exchange), changes in

laws, regulations and policies affecting mining operations, currency fluctuations, market

uncertainty, as well as those factors discussed in the Company's most recently filed

management's discussion and analysis and other filings of the Company with Canadian

securities authorities, copies of which can be found under the Company's profile on the

SEDAR+ website at www.sedarplus.ca.

In making the forward looking statements in this news release, the Company has applied

several material assumptions, including without limitation, that the Company will be able to

complete the private placement as anticipated, that it will obtain all necessary regulatory

approvals, including the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Although management of the Company has attempted to identify important factors that

could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking

statements or forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause results

not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such

statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ

materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not

place undue reliance on forward-looking statements and forward-looking information.

Readers are cautioned that reliance on such information may not be appropriate for other

purposes. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement,

forward-looking information or financial out-look that are incorporated by reference herein,

except in accordance with applicable securities laws. We seek safe harbour.
