Cautionary Note Regarding Production Decisions and Forward-Looking Statements
It should be noted that Altaley declared commercial production at Campo Morado and elected to initiate construction to go into
production at Tahuehueto prior to completing full feasibility stud ies demonstrating economic and technical viability.
Accordingly, readers should be cautioned that Altaley’s production decisions have been made without comprehensive feasibility
studies of established reserves at Campo Morado and prefeasibility level reserves at Tahuehueto, such that there is greater risk
and uncertainty as to future economic results from the Campo Morado mine and at Tahuehueto mine where reserves are
established to the prefeasibility level of confidence and therefore a higher technical risk of failure than would be the case if full
feasibility studies were completed and relied upon to make production decisions. Altaley has completed a preliminary economic
assessment (“PEA”) mining study on the Campo Morado mine and a prefeasibility study (‘PFS”) at Tahuehueto mine that provides
a conceptual life of mine plan and a preliminary economic analysis based on the previously identified mineral resources (see
News Release dated November 8, 2017, April 4, 2018, and April 25, 2022).

future economic conditions and courses of action; the timing and costs of future activities on the Company's properties, such as
production rates and increases; success of exploration, development and bulk sample processing activities, and timing for
processing at its own mineral processing facility on the Tahuehueto project site. In certain cases, Forward -Looking Information
can be identified using words and phrases such as "plans," "expects," "scheduled," "estimates," "forecasts," "intends," "anticipates"
or variations of such words and phrases. In preparing the Forward -Looking Information in this news release, the Company has
applied several material assumptions, including, but not limited to, that the current exploration, development, environmental
and other objectives concerning the Campo Morado Mine and the Tahuehueto Project can be achieved: the continuity of the

and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements of the
