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”. Since forward-looking statements are based on
assumptions and address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Although
these statements are based on information currently available to the Company, the Company provides no assurance that actual results
will meet management’s expectations. Risks, uncertainties and other factors involved with forward-looking information could cause

study which recommends a production decision, the preliminary nature of metallurgical test results, delays in obtaining or failures
to obtain required governmental, environmental or other project approvals, political risks, inability to fulfill the duty to
accommodate First Nations and other indigenous peoples, uncertainties relating to the availability and costs of financing needed in
the future, changes in equity markets, inflation, changes in exchange rates, fluctuations in commodity prices, delays in the
development of projects, capital and operating costs varying significantly from estimates and the other risks involved in the
mineral exploration and development industry, and those risks set out in the Company’s public documents filed on SEDAR. Although
the Company believes that the assumptions and factors used in preparing the forward-looking information in this news release are
reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on such information, which only applies as of the date of this news release, and no
