Cautionary Statement

This presentation contains certain statements that may be deemed “forward-looking statements”. All statements in this release, other than

statements of historical fact, that address future production, reserve potential, exploration drilling, exploitation activities and events or

developments that the Company expects to occur, are forward looking statements. Forward looking statements are statements that are not

historical facts and are generally, but not always, identified by the words “expects”, “plans” “anticipates”, “believes”, “intends”, “estimates”,

“projects”, “potential” and similar expressions, or that events or conditions “will”, “would”, “may”, “could” or “should” occur. Information inferred

from the interpretation of drilling results and information concerning mineral resource estimates may also be deemed to be forward looking

statements, as it constitutes a prediction of what might be found to be present when and if a project is actually developed. Although the

Company believes the expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements

are not guarantees of future performance and actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Factors that

could cause the actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include market prices, exploitation and exploration

successes, and continued availability of capital and financing, and general economic, market or business conditions. Investors are cautioned

that any such statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from those

projected in the forward-looking statements. Forward looking statements are based on the beliefs, estimates and opinions of the Company’s

management on the date the statements are made. The Company undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements in

the event that management’s beliefs, estimates or opinions, or other factors, should change.

This presentation may use the term “indicated resource”. The Company advises investors that although this term is recognized and required

by Canadian securities regulations (under National Instrument 43-101 “Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects”), the US Securities and

Exchange Commission does not recognize this term. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part of or all of the mineral deposits in

these categories will ever be converted into reserves.

Stephen Nano, President and CEO for the Company and a “Qualified Person” under National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and approved

the scientific and technical information in this presentation.
