or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results "may",

statements of historical fact and may be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking information
herein includes, but is not limited to, statements that address activities, events or developments that
F3 expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future including statements regarding the intended
use of proceeds of the Offering, the tax treatment of the FT Shares and the receipt of final approval of
the Offering by the TSX Venture Exchange.
Forward-looking statements and forward-looking information relating to any future mineral production,
liquidity, enhanced value and capital markets profile of the Company, future growth potential for the
Company and its business, and future exploration plans are based on management's reasonable
assumptions, estimates, expectations, analyses and opinions, which are based on management's
experience and perception of trends, current conditions and expected developments, and other
factors that management believes are relevant and reasonable in the circumstances, but which may
prove to be incorrect. Assumptions have been made regarding, among other things, the price of
metals; costs of exploration and development; the estimated costs of development of exploration
projects; the Company's ability to operate in a safe and effective manner.
These statements reflect the Company's respective current views with respect to future events and are
necessarily based upon a number of other assumptions and estimates that, while considered
reasonable by management, are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive,
political and social uncertainties and contingencies. Many factors, both known and unknown, could
cause actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from the results,
performance or achievements that are or may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements or forward-looking information and the Company has made assumptions and estimates
based on or related to many of these factors. Such factors include, without limitation: the future tax
treatment of the FT Shares, competitive risks and the availability of financing; uranium price volatility;
risks associated with the conduct of the Company's exploration activities; regulatory, consent or
permitting delays; risks relating to reliance on the Company's management team and outside
contractors; the Company's inability to obtain insurance to cover all risks, on a commercially
reasonable basis or at all; currency fluctuations; risks regarding the failure to generate sufficient cash
flow from operations; risks relating to project financing and equity issuances; risks and unknowns
inherent in all mining projects; contests over title to properties, particularly title to undeveloped
properties; laws and regulations governing the environment, health and safety; operating or technical
difficulties in connection with mining, development or exploration activities; employee relations,
labour unrest or unavailability; the Company's interactions with surrounding communities; the
speculative nature of exploration and development; stock market volatility; conflicts of interest among
certain directors and officers; lack of liquidity for shareholders of the Company; litigation risk; and the
factors identified in the Company's public disclosure documents. Readers are cautioned against
attributing undue certainty to forward-looking statements or forward-looking information. Although the
Company 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 anticipated, estimated or intended.
The Company does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update these forward-looking
statements or forward-looking information to reflect changes in assumptions or changes in
circumstances or any other events affecting such statements or information, other than as required by
applicable law.
