RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THIS RELEASE.

The information contained herein contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of

applicable securities legislation. Forward-looking statements relate to information that is based on

assumptions of management, forecasts of future results, and estimates of amounts not yet

determinable. Any statements that express predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections,

objectives, assumptions or future events or performance are not statements of historical fact and may

be "forward-looking statements."

associated with mining and exploration; risks related to the maintenance of stock exchange listings;

risks related to environmental regulation and liability; the potential for delays in exploration or

expectations; risks related to gold price and other commodity price fluctuations; and other risks and

uncertainties related to the Company's prospects, properties and business detailed elsewhere in the

Company's disclosure record. Should one or more of these risks and uncertainties materialize, or

should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those

described in forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned against attributing undue certainty to
