Certain information contained in this news release are not statements of historical fact and are “forward-looking” statements. Forward-

looking statements relate to future events or future performance and reflect Company management’s expectations or beliefs regarding

future events and include, but are not limited to, specific statements regarding the Company’s expectations with respect to :

continuation of Mount Polley mine’s Springer Pit Phase 5 pushback; expectations that Mount Polley mine’s copper and gold production

will meet or exceed the high end of their respective 2025 targets; the continuation of work to advance preparation for the Red Chris

block cave feasibility study with the potential to announce an investment decision next year pending receipt of the necessary consents

and permits; the continuation of underground project development to support the Red Chris block cave once investigations are

complete, and recommendations implemented, following the fall of ground incident and safe recovery of all workers in July ;

Huckleberry’s care and maintenance activities and 2025 plans to investigate and update the tailings facility design; and more general

statements regarding the Company’s expectations with respect to its business and operations; metal pricing and demand; fluctuation

of revenues; metal production guidance and estimates; and expectations regarding the usefulness of non-IFRS financial measures

including adjusted net income (loss), adjusted EBITDA, cash earnings and cash cost per pound of copper.

In certain cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "plans", "expects" or "does not expect", "is

expected", "outlook", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "anticipates" or "does not anticipate", or "believes",

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

be taken", "occur" or "be achieved" or the negative of these terms or comparable terminology. By their very nature forward-looking

statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or

achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied

by the forward-looking statements.

In making the forward-looking statements in this news release, the Company has applied certain factors and assumptions that are

based on information currently available to the Company as well as the Company’s current beliefs and assumptions. These factors and

assumptions and beliefs and assumptions include hazards and risks disclosed with the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s current

Annual Information Form, and other public filings which are available for review on Imperial’s SEDAR+ profile at sedarplus.ca. Although

the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from

those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated,

estimated or intended, many of which are beyond the Company’s ability to control or predict. There can be no assurance that forward-

looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such

statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements and all forward-looking statements

in this news release are qualified by these cautionary statements.
