"forward-looking statements" as such term is used in applicable
Canadian laws. These statements relate to analyses and other
information that are based on forecasts of future results,
estimates of amounts not yet determinable and assumptions of
management. In particular, statements concerning Mineral Resource
and Mineral Reserve estimates should be viewed as forward-looking
statements to the extent that they involve estimates of the
mineralization that will be encountered if the property is
developed. Any statements that express or involve discussions with
respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections,
objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but
not always, using words or phrases such as "expects" or "does not
expect", "is expected", "anticipates" or "does not anticipate",
"plans, "estimates" or "intends", or stating that certain actions,
events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will" be
taken, occur or be achieved) are not statements of historical fact
and should be viewed as "forward-looking statements". Such forward
looking statements, including but not limited to, those with
respect to the price of metals, the amount of estimated
mineralization and of contained metals and the timing of and
possible outcome of pending economic evaluations and other factors
and events described in this News Release, involve known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the
actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be
materially different from any future results, performance or
achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements.
Such risks and other factors include, among others, the actual
results of exploration activities; variations in the underlying
assumptions associated with the estimation or realization of
Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, the conclusions of economic
evaluations and possible variations in ore grade or recovery rates;
costs and timing of the development of new deposits; availability
of capital to fund programs and the resulting dilution caused by
the raising of capital through the sale of shares; accidents,
labour disputes and other risks of the mining industry including
without limitation those associated with the environment, delays in
obtaining governmental approvals, permits or financing or in the
completion of development or construction activities, title
disputes or claims limitations on insurance coverage. Although the
Company has attempted to identify important factors that could
cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from
those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other
factors that cause actions, events or 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 contained in this News
Release and in any document referred to in this News Release.
Forward looking statements are made based on management's
beliefs, estimates and opinions on the date the statements are made
and the Company undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking
