Forward-Looking Information
This news release contains “forward-looking information” and “forward-looking statements” within the
meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws. Forward-looking information and statements include,
but are not limited to, statements with respect to Batero’s planned exploration and development activities
at the La Cumbre oxide deposit, the future interpretation of studies pertaining to gold mineralization at
the La Cumbre oxide deposit, and the Company’s intentions to acquire mineral properties in Colombia
and Latin America. Generally, but not always, forward-looking information and statements can be
identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “expects”, “is expected”, “budget”, “schedules”,
“estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates”, or “believes” or the negative connotation thereof or
variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events, or results “may”,
“could”, “would”, “might” or “will be taken”, “occur” or “be achieved” or the negative connotation
thereof.
Although the Company believes that such forward-looking information and statements are reasonable, it
can give no assurances that such expectations will prove to be correct. All such forward-looking
information and statements is based on certain assumptions and analyses made by the Company in light
of their experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future
developments, as well as other factors management believes are appropriate in the circumstances. This
information, however, is subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause
actual events or results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking information or
statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ from this forward-looking
information and statements include that fact that mineral exploration involves a high degree of risk and is
highly speculative in nature, few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing
mines, geological factors, the actual results and timing of current and proposed future exploration
programs, changes in project parameters as plans continue to be evaluated, as well as those factors
described under the heading "Financial Instruments and other Risk Exposures” in the Company’s most
recently filed management’s discussion and analysis. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or
reissue forward-looking information or statements as a result of new information or events, except as
required by applicable securities laws. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-
