This News Release includes certain "forward-looking statements". These statements are based on information currently available to Canstar, and Canstar provides no assurance that actual results will meet management's expectations. Forward-looking statements include estimates and statements that describe Canstar's future plans, objectives or goals, including words to the effect that Canstar or management expects a stated condition or result to occur. Forward-looking statements may be identified by such terms as "believes", "anticipates", "expects", "estimates", "may", "could", "would", "will", or "plan". Forward-looking statements are based on Canstar's assumptions regarding, among other things, results of exploration, project development, reclamation and capital costs of Canstar's mineral properties, capital markets activities, and Canstar's financial condition and prospects. As these statements address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and so Canstar's actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated in such statements for many reasons such as: changes in general economic conditions and conditions in the financial markets; changes in demand and prices for minerals; litigation, legislative, environmental and other judicial, regulatory, political and competitive developments; technological and operational difficulties encountered in connection with Canstar's activities; and other matters discussed in this News Release.
