Forward-looking statements may be identified by such terms as

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 actual events,
results, performance, prospects and opportunities to differ materially

limited to, the Company's objectives, goals or future plans, statements
regarding exploration results, potential mineralization, the estimation

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such
forward-looking information include, but are not limited to, failure to
identify mineral resources, failure to convert estimated mineral
resources to reserves, the inability to complete a feasibility 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.
