FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This news release may contain certain forward-looking statement, including, but not limited to, statements with respect to,
among other things, the closing of the Calcatreu Financing; the receipt of TSXV approval; the advancement and development
of gold and silver projects in the Patagonia region of Argentina; and the anticipated growth in shareholder value. Wherever
possible, words such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “could”, “expect”, “plan”, “intend”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “predict” or
“potential” or the negative or other variations of these words, or similar words or phrases, have been used to identify these
forward-looking statements. These statements reflect management’s current belief and are based on information currently
available to management as at the date hereof.
Forward-looking statements involve significant risk, uncertainties and assumptions. Many factors could cause actual results,
performance or achievements to differ materially from the results discussed or implied in the forward-looking statements.
These factors should be considered carefully, and readers should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements.
In particular, the Company advises that it does not have defined mineral reserves and it has not based its decision to advance
development of the Calcatreu Project on a feasibility study of mineral reserves, demonstrating economic and technical
viability, and, as a result, there may be an increased uncertainty of achieving any particular level of recovery of minerals or the
cost of such recovery, including increased risks associated with developing a commercially mineable deposit. Although the
forward-looking statements contained in this news release are based upon what management believes to be reasonable
assumptions, the Company cannot assure readers that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this news release, and the Company assumes no obligation to
update or revise them to reflect new events or circumstances, except as required by law.
Neither the TSXV nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in policies of the TSXV) accepts responsibility
for the adequacy or accuracy of this news release.
