future results, estimates of amounts not yet determinable and assumptions of management. 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”,

needed on reasonable terms; the Company will not experience any material accident; and the Company will be able to identify and
acquire additional mineral interests on reasonable terms or at all. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future
performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions which are difficult to predict. Forward-looking statement are
necessarily based upon a number of factors that, if untrue, could cause the actual results, performances or achievements of the
Company to be materially different from future results, performances or achievements express or implied by such statements. Such
statements and information are based on numerous assumptions regarding present and future business strategies and the environment
in which the Company will operate in the future, including the price of metals, anticipated costs and the ability to achieve

currency exchange rates; fluctuating prices of commodities and metals; operating hazards and risks; competition; potential
inability to find suitable acquisition opportunities and/or complete the same; and other risks and uncertainties listed in the
Company’s public filings. These risks, as well as others, could cause actual results and events to vary significantly. Factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward looking statements include, but are not limited to,
continued availability of capital and financing and general economic, market or business conditions, the loss of key directors,
employees, advisors or consultants, equipment failures, failure of counterparties to perform their contractual obligations and
fees charged by service providers. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements and
information, which are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. There can be no assurance that forward-looking
information, or the material factors or assumptions used to develop such forward looking information, will prove to be accurate.
