Forward-Looking Statements
Some of the statements in this news release may constitute "forward -looking information" as
defined under applicable securities laws. These statements reflect Morien's current expectations
of future revenues and business prospects and 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 substantially from what Morien currently foresees. Factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those in forward -looking statements include risks and uncertainties
described in Morien’s annual information form filed with the Canadian Securities regulators on
SEDAR (www.sedar.com). Morien cautions that its royalty revenue will be based on production
by third party property owners and operators who will be responsible for determining the manner
and timing for the properties forming part of Morien’s royalty portfolio. These third party
owners and operators are also subject to risk factors that 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 gold, 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. Although Morien believes that
the forward-looking information contained herein is based on reasonable assumptions, readers
cannot be assured that actual results will be consistent with such statements. Morien expressly
disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information in this
news release, whether as a result of new information, events or otherwise, except in accordance
with applicable securities laws. All dollar values discussed herein are in Canadian dollars.
Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is
