Forward Looking Statements

This presentation includes forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or to our future financial performance, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “may,” “could,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “seek,” anticipate,”  “believe,” “estimate, ” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements since they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that are, in some cases, beyond our control and which could materially affect actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Forward looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated, or implied including delays, operating problems or accidents, permitting problems or delays; metals price volatility, lower metals prices than anticipated and their impact on the achievement of cash flow; operating, exploration and development risks and results; changes in interpretation of geologic information; world economic and capital markets conditions; inability to raise sufficient external financing and other risks identified in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and other SEC filings.

Cautionary Note to United States Investors Regarding Estimates of Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources: We use certain terms in this presentation, such as “measured”, “indicated” and “inferred resources”, that are defined in Canadian National Instrument 43-101; however these terms are not recognized under the U.S. SEC Industry Guide 7. US investors are cautioned not to assume that any or all of measured, indicated or inferred resources are economically or legally mineable or that these resources will ever be converted into reserves. “Inferred mineral resources“ have a high degree of uncertainty as to their existence and it cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. U.S. investors are urged to consider closely the
disclosure in our Form 10-K and other SEC filings. You can review and obtain copies of these filings from the SEC’s website at http:www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml.
