Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
It should be noted that Luca declared commercial production at Campo Morado prior to completing a feasibility study of
mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability. Accordingly, readers should be cautioned that Luca’s
production decision has been made without a comprehensive feasibility study of established reserves such that there is
greater risk and uncertainty as to future economic results from the Campo Morado mine and a higher technical risk of failure
than would be the case if a fea sibility study were completed and relied upon to make a production decision. Luca has
completed a preliminary economic assessment (“PEA”) mining study on the Campo Morado mine that provides a conceptual
life of mine plan and a preliminary economic analysis based on the previously identified mineral resources (see news releases
dated November 8, 2017, and April 4, 2018).
