uncertainties and other known and unknown factors that could cause actual events or results to differ from those reflected in the
forward-looking statements, including, without limitation: uncertain political and economic environments; foreign currency
fluctuations; risks inherent in mining including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, unusual or unexpected geological

not be consistent with the Company's expectations; the potential for and effects of labour disputes or other unanticipated
difficulties with or shortages of labour or interruptions in production; actual ore mined varying from estimates of grade,

appropriate equipment and sufficient labour and that the political environment where the Company operates will continue to
support the development and operation of mining projects. Should one or more of these risks and uncertainties materialize, or
