PROVEN MINE FINDERS
Spring 2012
Forward Looking Statements
Some of the statements contained in this presentation are forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are not historical facts and are subject to a number of risks
and uncertainties beyond the Company's control, including, but not exclusively,
statements regarding potential mineralization, exploration results, completion of work
program and studies, and future plans and objectives of the Company. Resource
exploration, development and operations are highly speculative, characterized by a
number of significant risks, which even a combination of careful evaluation, experience
and knowledge may not eliminate, including, among other things, unprofitable efforts
resulting not only from the failure to discover mineral resources but from finding mineral
deposits which, though present, are insufficient in quantity and quality to return a profit
from production.
Qualified Person: Mr Stephen R Maynard, M.S., C.P.G., has acted as the qualified person
as defined in National Instrument 43-101 for this disclosure and supervised the
preparation of the technical information in this release.
