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 information. Such factors include, among others: risks related to the
speculative nature of the Company’s business; the Company’s formative stage of development; the
Company’s financial position; possible variations in mineralization, grade or recovery rates; actual results
of current exploration activities; actual results of reclamation activities; conclusions of future economic
evaluations; business integration risks; fluctuations in general macroeconomic conditions; fluctuations in

estimated, or intended.

Company disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events or results, except as may be required by applicable securities laws. There can
