uncertainties. Such statements can typically be identified by terminology such as ‘‘may’’, ‘‘will’’, ‘‘could’’,
‘‘should’’, ‘‘expect’’, ‘‘plan’’, ‘‘anticipate’’, ‘‘believe’’, ‘‘intend’’, ‘‘possible’’, ‘‘continue’’, “objective” or other
similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. Certain material factors or
assumptions are applied in making forward-looking statements and actual results may differ materially

Going Concern Risk
As described in Melior’s most recent MD&A, the continuing operations of the Company are dependent
upon its ability to continue to raise adequate financing, to commence profitable operations in the future,
and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations as they become due. There remains a
- 2 -
significant risk that the Company is unable to find alternative sources of financing for on-going working
capital requirements. These material uncertainties cast significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to
continue as a going concern.
Failure to obtain sufficient financing could result in a delay or abandonment of the Goondicum ilmenite
mine and could force the Company into reorganization, bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings. Additional
financing may not be available when needed or, if available, the terms of such financing might not be
favourable to the Company and might involve substantial dilution to existing shareholders. Failure to raise
capital when needed would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to pursue its
business strategy, and accordingly could negatively impact the Company’s business, financial condition
and results of operations.
