Forward-looking information is subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties which could cause actual events or results to differ from those reflected in the forward-looking statements. Such risks include, but are not limited to:

The forward-looking information and statements contained in this website are made as of the date hereof and, accordingly, are subject to change after such date. The forward-looking statements contained herein are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.

Cautionary Note Regarding Technical Information

This website contains disclosure of scientific or technical information for the Company’s mineral projects that is based on technical reports for each of the Company’s material properties. It also contains disclosure derived from public announcements of exploration results issued by the Company. Each of these reports and public announcements was prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 – Standards for Disclosure for Mineral Projects of the Canadian Securities Administrators, by or under the supervision of “qualified persons” (as defined in that National Instrument).

Any mineral reserve or resource figures, and scientific, technical or projected economic information or estimates referred to in this website are estimates, and no assurances can be given that the information will materialize. Such information is based on expressions of judgment based on knowledge, mining experience, analysis of drilling results and industry practices. Valid estimates made at a given time may significantly change when new information becomes available. While the Company believes that the information included in this website is well established, the information by its nature is imprecise and depends, to a certain extent, upon statistical inferences which may ultimately prove unreliable. If such estimates of such information are inaccurate or are reduced in the future, this could have a material adverse impact on the Company.

This website uses the terms “measured”, “indicated” and “inferred” mineral resources. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. Furthermore, “inferred mineral resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, are estimated on limited information not sufficient to verify geological and grade continuity or to allow technical and economic parameters to be applied, and are subject to great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies. Readers are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable. Readers are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of measured or indicated mineral resources will ever be converted into reserves.

Cautionary Note Regarding Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures 

Certain financial measures used by the Company to analyze and evaluate its results are non-International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) financial measures or ratios.  Each of these indicators is not a standardized financial measure under the IFRS and might not be comparable to similar financial measures used by other issuers.  These indicators are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.  Further information on the non-IFRS and other financial measures included in this website is provided in the section “Non-IFRS and Other Financial Measures” of the Company’s latest Management Discussion and Analysis which is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com or on this website.
