This news release may contain forward-looking statements including those describing the Company's
future plans and the expectations of management that a stated result or condition will occur. Any
statement addressing future events or conditions necessarily involves inherent risk and uncertainty.

(e.g., operational risks in development, exploration and production; the uncertainty of mineral
