Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information
All statements, other than statements of historical fact, contained in this press release including, but not limited to, those
relating to obtaining the additional capital required to enable the Corporation to complete construction, the ability to obtain
amendments to, and thereafter meet funding and other conditions under, the streaming agreement and the senior secured
bonds, constitute “forward-looking information” and “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of certain securities laws
and are based on expectations and projections as of the date of this press release. Certain important assumptions by the
Corporation in making forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the completion of the Offering and the
conclusion of the Standby Agreement.
Forward-looking statements contained in this press release include, without limitation, those related to (i) the ability of the
Corporation to close the Offering, (ii) the obtaining of the regulatory approval, including the approval of the TSXV, (iii) the
execution of a Standby Agreement with Pallinghurst, and (iv) generally, the statements made by Mr. Desaulniers as well as the
above “About Nouveau Monde” paragraph which essentially describes the Corporation’s outlook. Forward-looking statements
are based on expectations, estimates and projections as of the time of this press release. Forward-looking statements are
necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by the Corporation as of
the time of such statements, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and
contingencies. These estimates and assumptions may prove to be incorrect.
Many of these uncertainties and contingencies can directly or indirectly affect, and could cause, actual results to differ
materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements. There can be no assurance that (i) the Offering
will close, (ii) the Standby Agreement will be concluded, and (iii) the Corporation will obtain the regulatory approval, including
the approval of the TSXV.
By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, and risks
exist that estimates, forecasts, projections and other forward-looking statements will not be achieved or that assumptions do
not reflect future experience. Forward-looking statements are provided for the purpose of providing information about
management’s expectations and plans relating to the future. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements as a number of important risk factors and future events could cause the actual outcomes to differ
materially from the beliefs, plans, objectives, expectations, anticipations, estimates, assumptions and intentions expressed in
such forward-looking statements. All of the forward-looking statements made in this press release are qualified by these
cautionary statements and those made in our other filings with the securities regulators of Canada including, but not limited to,
the cautionary statements made in the “Risk Factors” section of the Corporation’s Annual Information Form dated April 25,
2019. The Corporation cautions that the foregoing list of factors that may affect future results is not exhaustive, and new,
unforeseeable risks may arise from time to time. The Corporation disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any
forward- looking statements or to explain any material difference between subsequent actual events and such forward-looking
statements, except to the extent required by applicable law.
Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the
TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
