meaning of applicable securities law, including without limitation, the Company ’s information and

statements regarding or inferring the future business, operations, financial performance, prospects, and

other plans, intentions, expectations, estimates, and beliefs of the Company. Such statements include

statements regarding the completion of the proposed transactions. Forward -looking statements address

future events and conditions and are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions. These

statements relate to analyses and other information that are based on forecasts of future results, estimates

of amounts not yet determinable and assumptions of management. Any statements that express or involve

discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or

future events or performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases such as “expects” or “does not

expect”, “is expected”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate”, “plans”, “estimates” or “intends”, or stating

that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be

achieved), and variations of such words, and similar expressions are not statements of historical fact and

may be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statement are necessarily based upon several factors

that, if untrue, could cause the actual results, performances or achievements of the Company to be

materially different from futu re results, performances or achievements express or implied by such

statements. Such statements and information are based on numerous assumptions regarding present and

future business strategies and the environment in which the Company will operate in the future, including

the price of gold and other metals, anticipated costs and the ability to achieve goals, and the Company will

be able to obtain required licenses and permits. While such estimates and assumptions are considered

reasonable by the management of the Company, they are inherently subject to significant business,

economic, competitive and regulatory uncertainties and risks including that resource exploration and

development is a speculative business; that environmental laws and regulations may be come more

onerous; that the Company may not be able to raise additional funds when necessary; fluctuating prices of

metals; the possibility that future exploration, development or mining results will not be consistent with

the Company’s expectations; operating hazards and risks; and competition. There can be no assurance that

economic resources will be discovered or developed at the Gold Drop Property. Accordingly, actual results

may differ materially from those currently anticipated in such statements. Fac tors that could cause actual

results to differ materially from those in forward looking statements include continued availability of

capital and financing and general economic, market or business conditions, the loss of key directors,

employees, advisors o r consultants, equipment failures, litigation, competition, fees charged by service

providers and failure of counterparties to perform their contractual obligations. Investors are cautioned that

forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future perfo rmance or events and, accordingly are

cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward -looking statements due to the inherent uncertainty of such

statements. The forward -looking statements included in this news release are made as of the date hereof

and the Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements,

whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as expressly required by

applicable securities legislation.
