sustained commodity prices will continue to make the project
economically viable; and (5) there will not be any unfavourable
changes to the economic, political, permitting and legal climate in
which the Company operates. Although the Company has attempted to
identify important factors that could affect the Company and may
cause actual actions, events, or results to differ materially from

that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking
statements will transpire or occur, or if any of them do so, what
impact they will have on the results of operations or the financial
condition of the Company. Investors should therefore not place
undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The Company is under
no obligation and expressly disclaims any obligation, to update,
alter or otherwise revise any forward-looking statement, whether
