Cautionary Statement

This presentation contains certain statements that may be deemed “forward-looking statements”. All statements in this presentation, other thanstatements of historical fact, that address future operations, resource potential, exploration drilling, exploitation activities and events or developmentsthat the Company expects to occur, are forward looking statements. Forward looking statements are statements that are not historical facts and aregenerally, but not always, identified by the words “expects”, “plans” “anticipates”, “believes”, “intends”, “estimates”, “projects”, “potential” and similarexpressions, or that events or conditions “will”, “would”, “may”, “could” or “should” occur. Information inferred from the interpretation of drilling resultsand information concerning mineral resource estimates may also be deemed to be forward looking statements, as it constitutes a prediction of whatmight 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 differmaterially from those in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those in forward-lookingstatements 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 ordevelopments 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 theseforward-looking statements in the event that management’s beliefs, estimates or opinions, or other factors, should change, except as may be required byapplicable law.

This presentation may use the term “indicated resource”. The Company advises investors that although this term is recognized and required by Canadiansecurities regulations (under National Instrument 43-101 “Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects”), however the US Securities and ExchangeCommission does not recognize this term. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part of or all of the mineral deposits in these categories willever be converted into reserves.
