forward-looking statements include the ability to obtain regulatory approval for the Private Placement,
the state of equity markets in Canada and other jurisdictions, market prices, exploration successes, and

forward-looking statements are based on a number of assumptions including, among other things,
assumptions regarding general business and economic conditions, the timing and receipt of regulatory
and governmental approvals, the ability of the Company and other parties to satisfy stock exchange and
other regulatory requirements in a timely manner, the availability of financing for the Company’s proposed
transactions and programs on reasonable terms, and the ability of third-party service providers to deliver
services in a timely manner. Investors are cautioned that any such statements are not guarantees of future
