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”, “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 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. In particular, the Company has not made a production
decision with respect to ScoZinc’s Scotia Mine. The Company has not completed a feasibility study or established the
economic viability of the Project or proposed operations on ScoZinc’s Scotia Mine, and no mineral reserves have been
established for ScoZinc’s Scotia Mine that would support a production decision. Mineral exploration projects which are
put into production without first establishing mineral reserves and completing a feasibility study have historically had a
higher risk of economic or technical failure. 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 ScoZinc’s expectations include, among others,
ability to complete the PFS, ability to complete the Offering on the terms announced, 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 ScoZinc’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis. Although ScoZinc has
attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, 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.
