Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements:
Certain statements in this news release are forward-looking and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Such forward-
looking statements are within the meaning of the phrase ‘forward-looking information’ in the Canadian Securities
Administrators’ National Instrument 51-102 – Continuous Disclosure Obligations. Forward-looking statements are not
comprised of historical facts. Forward-looking statements include estimates and statements that describe the Company’s
future plans, objectives or goals, including words to the effect that the Company or management expects a stated condition or
result to occur. Forward-looking statements may be identified by such terms as “believes”, “anticipates”, “expects”,
“estimates”, “may”, “could”, “would”, “will”, or “plan”. Since forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and address
future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Although these statements are
based on information currently available to the Company, the Company provides no assurance that actual results will meet
management’s expectations. Risks, uncertainties and other factors involved with forward-looking information could cause
actual events, results, performance, prospects and opportunities to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such
forward-looking information. Forward-looking information in this news release includes, but is not limited to, the completion of
Transaction and the private placement on the terms described herein (or if at all), the ability to obtain requisite corporate and
regulatory approvals, including, but not limited to, the approval from the TSXV for the Transaction and the private placement
and the completion of subscription of subscription commitments under the private placement.
In making the forward-looking statements included in this news release, the Company has applied several material
assumptions, including that the Company’s financial condition and development plans do not change because of unforeseen
events, that future metal prices and the demand and market outlook for metals will remain stable or improve, management’s
ability to execute its business strategy, the receipt of all necessary approvals, the satisfaction of all closing conditions of the
Transaction, the closing of the Offering, and no unexpected or adverse regulatory changes with respect to La Parrilla. Forward-
looking statements and information are subject to various known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are
beyond the ability of the Company to control or predict, that may cause the Company’s actual results, performance or
achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied thereby, and are developed based on assumptions
about such risks, uncertainties and other factors set out herein, including, but not limited to, the risk that the Company is not
able to complete the Transaction or the Offering on the terms anticipated by the Company (or at all), the risk that the
Company is unable to obtain requisite corporate and regulatory approvals, including but not limited to the approval of the
TSXV, the Mexican government, and shareholder approval, the risk that the assumptions referred to above prove not to be
valid or reliable, market conditions and volatility and global economic conditions including increased volatility and potentially
negative capital raising conditions resulting from the continued or escalation of the COVID-19 pandemic, risk of delay and/or
cessation in planned work or changes in the Company’s financial condition and development plans; risks associated with the
interpretation of data (including in respect of third party mineralized material) regarding the geology, grade and continuity of
mineral deposits, the uncertainty of the geology, grade and continuity of mineral deposits and the risk of unexpected variations
in mineral resources, grade and/or recovery rates; risks related to gold, silver and other commodity price fluctuations;
employee relations; relationships with and claims by local communities and indigenous populations; availability and increasing
costs associated with mining inputs and labour, the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development, including the
risks of obtaining necessary licenses and permits and the presence of laws and regulations that may impose restrictions on
mining; risks relating to environmental regulation and liability; the possibility that results will not be consistent with the
Company’s expectations.
Such forward-looking information represents management’s best judgment based on information currently available. No
forward-looking statement can be guaranteed, and actual future results may vary materially. Accordingly, readers are advised
