exercise of the underwriters' option. Accordingly, pursuant to the Offering, an aggregate of
19,166,667 FT Units and 4,600,000 FT Shares are expected to be issued. Each FT Unit is

Cautionary Statements Regarding Mineral Resource Estimate
Readers are cautioned that mineral resources are not mineral reserves and that the economic
viability of mineral resources that are not mineral reserves has not been demonstrated. The mineral
resource estimate described in this news release may be materially affected by geology,
environmental, permitting, legal, title, socio-politic al, marketing or other relevant issues. The
mineral resource estimate is classified in accordance with the Canadian Institute of Mining,
Metallurgy and Petroleum's "CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral
Reserves" incorporated by reference into National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure
for Mineral Projects. Readers are cautioned not to assume that further work on the stated mineral
resources will lead to mineral reserves that can be mined economically. The quantity and grade of
the reported inferred mineral resources are conceptual in nature and are estimated based on
limited geological evidence and sampling. Geological ev idence is sufficient to imply but not verify
geological grade and/or quality of continuity. Zinc equivalency percentages noted above are
calculated using metal prices, forecasted metal recoveries, concentrate grades, transport costs,
smelter payable metals and charges.
