CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS

Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX

Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this news release.

This news release includes certain forward-looking statements which are not comprised of historical facts. Forward-looking

statements include estimates and statements that describe the Company’s future plans, objectives or goals, including words

to the effect that the Company or management expects a stated condition or result to occur. Forward-looking statements

may be identified by such terms as “believes”, “anticipates”, “expects”, “estimates”, “may”, “should”, “could”, “would”,

“will”, or “plan”. Since forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and address future events and conditions, by

their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Although these statements are based on information

currently available to the Company, the Company provides no assurance that actual results will meet management’s

-2-

expectations. Risks, uncertainties and other factors involved with forward-looking information could cause actual events,

results, performance, prospects and opportunities to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-

looking information. Forward-looking information in this news release includes, but is not limited to, the Company’s

objectives, goals or future plans, statements, potential mineralization, exploration and development results, the

estimation of mineral resources, exploration and mine development plans, timing of the commencement of operations

and estimates of market conditions. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate

and actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Important factors

that could cause actual results to differ materially from EDM’s expectations include, among others, the degree to which

mineral resource and reserve estimates are reflective of actual mineral resources and reserves, the degree to which factors

are present which would make a mineral deposit commercially viable, the price of zinc, lead and gypsum, uncertainties

relating to availability and costs of financing needed in the future, changes in equity markets, risks related to international

operations, the actual results of current exploration activities, delays in the development of projects, conclusions of

economic evaluations and changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined as well as future prices of metals,

ability to predict or counteract potential impact of COVID-19 coronavirus on factors relevant to the Company’s business,

as well as those factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in EDM’s management’s discussion and analysis of

the Company's annual financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2021. Although EDM has attempted to

identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be other factors that cause results to

be not 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.
