expectations, analyses and opinions, which are based on management’s experience and perception of
trends, current conditions and expected developments, and other factors that management believes are
relevant and reasonable in the circumstances, but which may prove to be incorrect. Assumptions have been
made regarding, among other things, the price of gold and other metals; no escalation in the severity of the
COVID-19 pandemic; costs of exploration and development ; the estimated costs of development of
exploration projects; TinOne’s ability to operate in a safe and effective manner and its ability to obtain
financing on reasonable terms.
These statements reflect TinOne’s respective current views with respect to future events and are necessarily
based upon a number of other assumptions and estimates that, while considered reasonable by
management, are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, political and social
uncertainties and contingencies. Many factors, both known and unknown, could cause actual results,
performance or achievements to be materially different from the results, performance or achievements that
are or may be expressed or implied by such forward‐looking statements or forward- looking information
and TinOne has made assumptions and estimates based on or related to many of these factors. Such factors
include, without limitation: the Company's dependence on early stage mineral project s; metal price
volatility; risks associated with the conduct of the Company's mining activities in Australia ; regulatory,
consent or permitting delays; risks relating to reliance on the Company's management team and outside
contractors; risks regarding mineral resources and reserves; the Company's inability to obtain insurance
to cover all risks, on a commercially reasonable basis or at all; currency fluctuations; risks regarding the
failure to generate sufficient cash flow from operations; risks relating to project financing and equity
issuances; risks and unknowns inherent in all mining projects, including the inaccuracy of reserves and

resources, metallurgical recoveries and capital and operating costs of such projects; contests over title to
properties, particularly title to undeveloped properties; laws and regulations governing the environment,
health and safety; the ability of the communities in which the Company operates to manage and cope with
the implications of COVID -19; the economic and financial implications of COVID -19 to the C ompany;
operating or technical difficulties in connection with mining or development activities; employee relations,
labour unrest or unavailability; the Company's interactions with surrounding communities and artisanal
miners; the Company's ability to suc cessfully integrate acquired assets; the speculative nature of
exploration and development, including the risks of diminishing quantities or grades of reserves; stock
market volatility; conflicts of interest among certain directors and officers; lack of li quidity for
shareholders of the Company; litigation risk; and the factor s identified under the caption “Risk Factors”
in TinOne's management discussion and analysis . Readers are cautioned against attributing undue
