release includes, but is not limited to, information concerning the Private Placement and the Debt Settlement and the use

of proceeds from the Private Placement, the Company’s objectives, goals or future plans, statements. Since forward-looking

the Company’s stated expectations include, but are not limited to, mineral price and exchange rate fluctuations, increased

competition and general economic and market factors, potential mineralization not being as anticipated, uncertainties

inherent in the estimation of mineral resources, exploration and mine development plans, timing of the commencement of

operations and estimates of market conditions, failure to identify mineral resources, failure to convert estimated mineral

resources to reserves, the inability to complete a feasibility study which recommends a production decision, the preliminary

nature of metallurgical test results, delays in obtaining or failures to obtain required governmental, environmental or other

project approvals, political risks, uncertainties relating to the availability and costs of financing needed in the future,

changes in equity markets, inflation, changes in exchange rates, fluctuations in commodity prices, delays in the

development of projects, capital and operating costs varying significantly from estimates.

Although the Company believes that the assumptions and factors used in preparing the forward-looking information in this

news release are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on such information, which only applies as of the date of

this news release, and no assurance can be given that such events will occur in the disclosed time frames or at all. The

Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information, whether as a result of

new information, future events or otherwise, other than as required by law.
