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 feasibility 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).
