Cautionary Disclaimer Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Information
This news release contains certain forward-looking statements concerning anticipated
developments in Western's operations in future periods. Statements that are not historical fact are
"forward-looking statements" as that term is defined in
the United States
Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and "forward looking information" as that term is defined in National
Instrument 51-102 ("NI 51-102") of the Canadian Securities Administrators (collectively, "forward-
looking statements"). Certain forward looking information should also be considered future-
oriented financial information ("FOFI") as that term is defined in NI 51-102. The purpose of
disclosing FOFI is to provide a general overview of management's expectations regarding the
anticipated results of operations and capital expenditures and readers are cautioned that FOFI may
not be appropriate for other purposes. Forward-looking statements are frequently, but not always,
identified by words such as "expects", "anticipates", "believes", "intends", "estimates", "potential",
"possible" and similar expressions, or statements that events, conditions or results "will", "may",
"could" or "should" occur or be achieved. These forward-looking statements may include, but are
not limited to, statements regarding perceived merit of properties; mineral reserve and resource
estimates; capital expenditures; feasibility study results (including projected economic returns,
operating costs, and capital costs in connection with the Casino Project); exploration results at the
Company's property; budgets; work programs; permitting or other timelines; strategic plans; market
price of precious and base metals; or other statements that are not statement of fact. The material
factors or assumptions used to develop forward-looking statements include prevailing and
projected market prices and foreign exchange rates, exploration estimates and results, continued
availability of capital and financing, construction and operations, the Company not experiencing
unforeseen delays, unexpected geological or other effects, equipment failures, permitting delays,
and general economic, market or business conditions and as more specifically disclosed
throughout this document, and in the AIF and Form 40-F.
Forward-looking statements are statements about the future and are inherently uncertain, and
actual results, performance or achievements of Western and its subsidiaries may differ materially
from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking
statements due to a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors. Such risks and other factors
include, among others, risks involved in fluctuations in gold, copper and other commodity prices
and currency exchange rates; uncertainties relating to interpretation of drill results and the geology,
continuity and grade of mineral deposits; uncertainty of estimates of capital and operating costs,
recovery rates, production estimates and estimated economic return; risks related to joint venture
operations; risks related to cooperation of government agencies and First Nations in the
development of the property and the issuance of required permits; risks related to the need to
obtain additional financing to develop the property and uncertainty as to the availability and terms
of future financing; the possibility of delay in construction projects and uncertainty of meeting
anticipated program milestones; uncertainty as to timely availability of permits and other
governmental approvals; and other risks and uncertainties disclosed in Western's AIF and Form
40-F, and other information released by Western and filed with the applicable regulatory agencies.
Western's forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs, expectations and opinions of
management on the date the statements are made, and Western does not assume, and expressly
disclaims, any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether
as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by
applicable securities legislation. For the reasons set forth above, investors should not place undue
reliance on forward-looking statements.
