Cautionary Note Regarding Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves

Readers are advised that National Instrument 43-101 of the Canadian Securities
Administrators requires that each category of mineral reserves and mineral
resources be reported separately. Readers should refer to the Company's current
technical reports and other continuous disclosure documents filed by the
Company, available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com for further information the mineral
resource estimates of the Company's projects, which are subject to the
qualifications and notes set forth therein, as well as for additional
information relating to the Company more generally.


Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves, have a great amount of
uncertainty as to their existence and do not have demonstrated economic or legal
viability. Inferred mineral resources have insufficient confidence to allow the
meaningful application of technical and economic parameters or to enable an
evaluation of economic viability suitable for public disclosure. Neither the
Company, nor readers, should assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral
resource will be upgraded to indicated or measured mineral resources. Most
projects at the inferred mineral resource stage do not ever form the basis of
feasibility or other economic studies, or achieve successful commercial
production. Each stage of a project is contingent on the positive results of the
previous stage and that there is a significant risk that the results may not
support or justify moving to the next stage.


Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulations Services Provider (as that term
is defined in policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for
the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
