Often, but not always, forward lookingstatements can be identified by the use of words and phrases such as “plans”, “expects”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”,“anticipates”, or “believes” or variations (including negative 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 are based on the opinions and estimates of management as of the date such statements are made and are based on various assumptionssuch as the continued political stability in Northern Ireland, that permits required for Dalradian’s operations will be obtained on a timely basis in order to permitDalradian to proceed on schedule with its planned exploration and mine development, construction and production programs, that skilled personnel and contractorswill be available as Dalradian’s operations continue to grow, that the price of gold will be at levels that render Dalradian’s mineral projects economic, that the Companywill be able to continue raising the necessary capital to finance its operations and realize on mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates and current mine plansand that the assumptions, qualifications, parameters and methods contained in the Technical Report FS (as defined below) are accurate and complete, that the resultsof the ESIA will be positive and that a permitting application for mine construction will be approved.

Forward looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements ofDalradian to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward looking statements. Such factorsinclude, among others, general business, economic, competitive, political and social uncertainties; the actual results of current and future exploration activities; theactual results of reclamation activities; conclusions of economic evaluations; meeting various expected cost estimates; changes in project parameters and/or economicassessments as plans continue to be refined; future prices of metals; possible variations of mineral grade or recovery rates; the risk that actual costs may exceedestimated costs; failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; accidents, labour disputes and other risks of the mining industry; politicalinstability; delays in obtaining governmental approvals or financing or in the completion of development or construction activities, as well as those factors discussed inthe section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2016 dated March 23, 2017 (the “AIF”).

Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described inforward looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results to differ from those anticipated, estimated or intended. Forward lookingstatements contained herein are made as of the date of this presentation and the Company disclaims any obligation to update any forward looking statements,whether as a result of new information, future events or results, except as may be required by applicable securities laws.

Accordingly, readersshould not place undue reliance on forward looking statements.
