This press release contains certain “forward-looking statements” and “forward-looking information” under applicable securities
laws concerning the business, operations and financial performance and condition of the Company. Forward-looking
statements and forward-looking information include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the timing and
completion of the Offering, the availability of financing, the availability of regulatory approvals for the Offering and the anticipated
use of proceeds from the Offering. Except for statements of historical fact relating to the Company, certain information
contained herein constitutes forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are frequently characterized by words
such as “plan,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “believe,” “anticipate”, “estimate” and other similar words, or statements that
certain events or conditions “may” or “will” occur. Forward-looking statements are based on the opinions and estimates of
management at the date the statements are made, and are based on a number of assumptions and subject to a variety of
risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those projected in
the forward-looking statements. Many of these assumptions are based on factors and events that are not within the control of
the Company and there is no assurance they will prove to be correct.
Factors that could cause actual results to vary materially from results anticipated by such forward-looking statements include
the inability to obtain adequate financing, the inability to obtain regulatory approvals required in relation to that financing. The
Company cautions that the foregoing list of important factors is not exhaustive. Investors and others who base themselves on
forward-looking statements should carefully consider the above factors as well as the uncertainties they represent and the risk
they entail. The Company believes that the expectations reflected in those forward-looking statements are reasonable, but no
assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct and such forward-looking statements included in this
press release should not be unduly relied upon. These statements speak only as of the date of this press release. The
Company undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements if circumstances or management’s estimates or
opinions should change except as required by applicable securities laws.
Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ
materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results
not to be anticipated, estimated or intended. Statements concerning mineral reserve and resource estimates may also be
deemed to constitute forward-looking statements to the extent they involve estimates of the mineralization that will be
encountered if the property is developed.
Statements about the Company's future expectations and all other statements in this press release other than historical facts
are "forward looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and as that term defined in the Private Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company intends
that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbours created thereby. Since these statements involve risks
and uncertainties and are subject to change at any time, the Company's actual results may differ materially from the expected
results.
