This release includes certain statements that may be deemed
"forward-looking statements". All statements in this release, other
than statements of historical facts, that address permitting,
exploration drilling, exploitation activities and events or
developments that the Company expects, are forward-looking
statements. 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 or developments may differ
materially from those in the forward-looking statements.
Assumptions used by the Company to develop forward-looking
statements include the following: the Sisson Project will obtain
all required environmental and other permits for construction of
the mine, the Sisson Project will achieve targeted production
levels; the Company's study and development of the Sisson Project
will continue to be positive; contracted parties provide goods
and/or services on the agreed timeframes; equipment necessary for
construction and development is available and does not incur
unforeseen breakdowns; no material labour slowdowns or strikes are
incurred; plant and equipment functions as specified; geological or
financial parameters do not necessitate future mine plan changes;
and no geological or technical problems occur. Factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those in
forward-looking statements include uncertainty of shareholder
support, the need for judicial and regulatory approvals,
fluctuations in market prices, exploitation and exploration
successes, continuity of mineralization, potential environmental
issues and liabilities associated with exploration, development and
mining activities, uncertainties related to the ability to obtain
necessary environmental, land use and other permits, approvals,
licenses and title on a timely basis and delays due to third party
opposition, exploration and development of properties located
within First Nations treaty and asserted territories may affect or
be perceived to affect treaty and asserted aboriginal rights and
title, which may cause permitting delays or opposition by First
Nation communities, changes in government policies regarding mining
and natural resource exploration and exploitation, 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. For more information on the
