Forward Looking Statements

The information presented contains “forward-looking statements,” within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and

“forward-looking information” under similar Canadian legislation, concerning the business, operations and financial performance and condition of the Company.

Forward-looking statements and forward-looking information include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the estimation of mineral reserves and mineral

resources; the realization of mineral reserve estimates; the timing and amount of estimated future production; costs of production; metal prices and demand for

materials; capital expenditures; success of exploration and development activities; permitting time lines and permitting, mining or processing issues; government

regulation of mining operations; environmental risks; and title disputes or claims. Generally, forward-looking statements and forward-looking information can be identified

by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “plans,” “expects” or “does not expect,” “is expected,” “budget,” “scheduled,” “estimates,” “forecasts,” “intends,”

“anticipates” or “does not anticipate,” or “believes,”, “projects” or variations of such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results “may,” “could,”

“would,” “might” or “will be taken,” “occur” or “be achieved.” Forward-looking statements and forward-looking information are based on the opinions and estimates of

management as of the date such statements are made, and they are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual

results, level of activity, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements or

forward-looking information, including, but not limited to, unexpected events during operations; variations in ore grade; risks inherent in the mining industry; delay or

failure to receive board approvals; timing and availability of external financing on acceptable terms; risks relating to international operations; actual results of exploration

activities; conclusions of economic valuations; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; and fluctuating metal prices and currency exchange

rates. Although management of the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in

forward-looking statements or forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be

no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements.

Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements and forward-looking information. The Company does not undertake to update any

forward-looking statements or forward-looking information that are incorporated by reference herein, except in accordance with applicable securities laws.

Investors are advised that National Instrument 43-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators requires that each category of mineral reserves and mineral resources

be reported separately. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Concerning Estimates of Measured, Indicated or Inferred Resources

The information presented uses the terms “measured,” “indicated” and “inferred” mineral resources. United States investors are advised that while such terms are

recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize these terms. “Inferred mineral

resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an

inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility

or other economic studies. United States investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of measured or indicated mineral resources will ever be converted

into mineral reserves. United States investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists, or is economically or legally

mineable.
