This news release contains "forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable
Canadian securities legislation which we refer to herein, collectively, as "forward-looking
information". Generally, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of forward-looking
terminology such as "plans", "expects", or "does not expect", "is expected", "budget", "scheduled",
"estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "anticipates", or "does not anticipate", or "believes" or variations
of such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would",
"might", or "will be taken", "occur", or "be achieved" and include statements relating to Mako's
actual performance, developments and/or results may differ materially from any or all of the
forward-looking statements. Further information which may cause results to differ materially from
those projected in the forward-looking statements is contained in Mako's filings with Canadian
securities regulatory authorities. All material assumptions used in making forward-looking
information are based on management's knowledge of current business conditions and
expectations of future business conditions and trends. Although Mako believes the assumptions
used to make such statements are reasonable at this time and has attempted to identify in its
continuous disclosure documents important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those contained in forward-looking information, there may be other factors that
cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such
information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially
from those anticipated in such information. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance
on forward-looking information. Mako does not undertake to update any forward-looking
