Cautionary Statements
The content and grades of any mineral deposits
at the Company’s properties are conceptual in nature. There has
been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource on its
properties and it is uncertain if further exploration will result
in any target being delineated as a mineral resource. CLM is not
basing any production or mining decisions on a technical report or
a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and
technical viability at any of its properties, and as a result there
is increased uncertainty and there are multiple technical and
economic risks of failure which are associated with any such
production decision. These risks, among others, include areas that
are analysed in more detail in a feasibility study, such as
applying economic analysis to resources and reserves and a number
of specialized studies in areas such as mining and recovery
methods, market analysis, and environmental and community
impacts.
