Cautionary Note to United States Investors
This news release has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the securities laws in effect
in Canada, which differ from the requirements of U.S. securities laws. Unless otherwise indicated, all
resource and reserve estimates included in this news release have been prepared in accordance with
National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") and the
Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy, and Petroleum 2014 Definition Standards on Mineral
Resources and Mineral Reserves. NI 43-101 is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities
Administrators which establishes standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and
technical information concerning mineral projects. Canadian standards, including NI 43-101, differ
significantly from the requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"),
and mineral resource and reserve information contained herein may not be comparable to similar
information disclosed by U.S. companies. In particular, and without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the term "resource" does not equate to the term "reserves". Under U.S. standards,
mineralization may not be classified as a "reserve" unless the determination has been made that the
mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve
determination is made. The SEC's disclosure standards normally do not permit the inclusion of
information concerning "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" or "inferred
mineral resources" or other descriptions of the amount of mineralization in mineral deposits that do not
constitute "reserves" by U.S. standards in documents filed with the SEC. Investors are cautioned not to
assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves.
U.S. investors should also understand that "inferred mineral resources" have a great amount of
uncertainty as to their existence and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot
be assumed that all or any part of an "inferred mineral resource" will ever be upgraded to a higher
category. Under Canadian rules, estimated "inferred mineral resources" may not form the basis of
feasibility or pre-feasibility studies except in rare cases. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or
any part of an "inferred mineral resource" exists or is economically or legally mineable. Disclosure of
"contained ounces" in a resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC
normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute "reserves" by SEC
standards as in-place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures. The requirements of NI 43-
101 for identification of "reserves" are also not the same as those of the SEC, and reserves reported by
the Company in compliance with NI 43-101 may not qualify as "reserves" under SEC standards.
Accordingly, information concerning mineral deposits set forth herein may not be comparable with
information made public by companies that report in accordance with U.S. standards.
