Forward Looking Information and Cautionary Factors
This release includes certain statements that may be deemed "forward-looking statements". All statements in this release,
other than statements of historical facts, that address exploration drilling, exploitation activities and events or developments
that the Company expects are forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes the expectations expressed in its
forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements should not be in any way construed as guarantees
of the ultimate size, quality or commercial feasibility of the Pebble Project or of the Company's future performance or the
outcome of litigation.
Assumptions used by the Company to develop forward-looking statements include the following: the Pebble Project will obtain
all required environmental and other permits and all land use and other licenses, studies and development of the Pebble Project
will continue to be positive, and no geological or technical problems will occur. The likelihood of future mining at the Pebble
Project is subject to a large number of risks and will require achievement of a number of technical, economic and legal
objectives, including obtaining necessary mining and construction permits, approvals, licenses and title on a timely basis and
delays due to third party opposition, changes in government policies regarding mining and natural resource exploration and
exploitation, the final outcome of any litigation, completion of pre-feasibility and final feasibility studies, preparation of
all necessary engineering for surface or underground mining and processing facilities as well as receipt of significant
additional financing to fund these objectives as well as funding mine construction. Such funding may not be available to the
Company on acceptable terms or on any terms at all. There is no known ore at the Pebble Project and there is no assurance that
the mineralization at the Pebble Project will ever be classified as ore. The need for compliance with extensive environmental and
socio-economic rules and practices and the requirement for the Company to obtain government permitting can cause a delay or even
abandonment of a mineral project. The Company is also subject to the specific risks inherent in the mining business as well as
general economic and business conditions.
The NEPA EIS process requires a comprehensive "alternatives assessment" be undertaken to consider a broad range of development
alternatives, the final project design and operating parameters for the Pebble Project and associated infrastructure may vary
significantly from that currently being advanced. As a result, the Company will continue to consider various development options
and no final project design has been selected at this time. For more information on the Company, Investors should review the
Company's filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and its home jurisdiction filings that are available
at www.sedar.com.
