Cautionary Statement as Required by NI 43-101, Sect 2.3 (3): This assessment is
preliminary in nature; it includes inferred mineral resources that are
considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations
applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves,
and there is no certainty that the preliminary assessment will be realized.


The Scoping Study will be filed on SEDAR shortly.
