CORE; potential delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration
or development projects or capital expenditures; the interpretation of
exploration results and the estimation of mineral resources; the loss of
key employees or consultants; health, safety and environmental risks and
risks related to weather and other natural disasters); uncertainties as
to the availability and cost of financing; inability to realize expected
value from acquisitions; inability of our management team to execute its
plans to meet its goals; and the possibility that government policies

including the inability to obtain any mining permits. Additional
information on these and other factors which could affect CORE’s
