applicable Canadian securities laws) and "forward-looking statements" (within
the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). Such
statements or information are identified with words such as "anticipate",
"believe", "expect", "plan", "intend", "potential", "estimate", "propose",
"project", "outlook", "foresee" or similar words suggesting future outcomes or
statements regarding an outlook. Such statements include, among others, those
concerning the Option Agreements. All statements in this news release, other
than statements of historical facts, which address future production, reserve
potential, exploration activities, financing plans, objectives or goals, and
events or developments that the Company expects, are forward-looking statements.
Since forward-looking statements address future events and conditions, by their
very nature, they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Such forward-looking
information or statements are based on a number of risks, uncertainties and
assumptions which may cause actual results or other expectations to differ
materially from those anticipated and which may prove to be incorrect.
Assumptions have been made regarding, among other things, management's
expectations regarding its ability to complete its exploration and development
work as expected. Actual results could differ materially due to a number of
factors, including, without limitation, operational risks in the completion of
the Company's continued development work, technical, safety or regulatory
issues, market prices, exploitation and exploration successes, continued
availability of capital and financing, and general economic, market or business
conditions. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the
forward-looking information or statements are reasonable, prospective investors
in the Company's securities should not place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements because the Company can provide no assurance that such expectations
will prove to be correct. Actual results or developments may differ materially
from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Such risks include
expectations that may be raised by discussing potential mine types and by
comparing the Company's projects to other projects. Also, in order to proceed
with the Company's exploration and acquisition plans, additional funding is
necessary and, depending on market conditions, this funding may not be
forthcoming on a schedule or on terms that facilitate the Company's plans.
Forward-looking information and statements contained in this news release are as
of the date of this news release and the Company assumes no obligation to update
or revise this forward-looking information and statements except as required by
law.
