about the business and the industry and markets in which the Company operates, including that: the current price of
and demand for minerals being targeted by the Company will be sustained or will improve; the Company ’s current
exploration programs and objectives can be achieved; results of exploration activities; the Company will be able to
obtain required exploration licences and other permits; general business and economic conditions will not change in
a material adverse manner; financing will be available if and when needed on reasonable terms; the Company will
not experience any material accident; and the Company will be able t o identify and acquire additional mineral
interests on reasonable terms or at all. Forward -looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and
involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions which are difficult to predict. Investors are cautioned that all forward-

speculative business; that the Company may lose or abandon its property interests or may fail to receive necessary

unexpected costs and expenses; the results of exploration activities; that environmental laws and regulations may
become more onerous; that the Company may not be able to raise additional funds when necessary; potential defects
in title to the Company ’s properties; fluctuating prices of commodities; operating hazards and risks; competition;
potential inability to find suitable acquisition opportunities and/or complete the same; and other risks and
uncertainties listed in the Company ’s public filings. These risks, as well as others, could cause actual results and
events to vary significantly. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements and
information, which are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. Factors that could cause actual results
to differ materially from those in forward -looking statements include exploitation and exploration successes or lack
thereof, continued availability of financing, and general economic, market or business conditions. There can be no
assurance that forward -looking information, or the material factors or assumptions used to develop such forward
looking information, will prove to be accurate. The Company does not undertake any obligations to release publicly
