opportunities and are based on information currently available to Morien. Morien cautions that actual performance will be
affected by a number of factors, many of which are beyond its control, and that future events and results may vary

could cause actual results to differ materially from those predicted herein including: volatility in financial markets or general
economic conditions; capital requirements and the need for additional financing; fluctuations in the rates of exchange for the
currencies of Canada and the United States; prices for commodities including coal and aggregate; unanticipated changes in
production, mineral reserves and mineral resources, metallurgical recoveries and/or exploration results; changes in regulations
and unpredictable political or economic developments; loss of key personnel; labour disputes; and ineffective title to mineral
claims or property. There are other business risks and hazards associated with mineral exploration, development and mining.
