Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-looking Information
This press release contains certain forward-looking
statements and forward-looking information as defined under
applicable Canadian and U.S. securities laws. Statements contained
in this press release that are not historical facts are
forward-looking statements that involve known and unknown risks and
uncertainties. Any statements that refer to expectations,
projections or other characterizations of future events or
circumstances contain forward-looking statements. In certain cases,
forward-looking statements and information can be identified using
forward-looking terminology such as "may", "will", "expect",
"intend", "estimate", "anticipate", "believe", "continue", "plans",
"potential" or similar terminology. Forward-looking statements and
information are made as of the date of this press release, and
include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the potential
of the Blackwater mine project and other plans and expectations of
the Company with respect to the project.
These forward-looking statements represent management's
current beliefs, expectations, estimates and projections regarding
future events and operating performance, which are based on
information currently available to management, management's
historical experience, perception of trends and current business
conditions, expected future developments and other factors which
management considers appropriate. Such forward-looking statements
involve numerous risks and uncertainties, and actual results may
vary. Important risks and other factors that may cause actual
results to vary include, without limitation: risks related to the
ability of the Company to accomplish its plans and objectives with
respect to the development of the project within the expected
timing or at all, the timing and receipt of certain required
approvals, changes in commodity prices, changes in interest and
currency exchange rates, risks inherent in exploration estimates
and results, risks inherent in exploration and development
activities, changes in development or mining plans due to changes
in logistical, technical or other factors, unanticipated
operational difficulties (including failure of plant, equipment or
processes to operate in accordance with specifications, cost
escalation, unavailability of materials, equipment or third party
contractors, delays in the receipt of government approvals,
industrial disturbances, job action, and unanticipated events
related to heath, safety and environmental matters), changes in
governmental regulation of mining operations, political risk,
social unrest, changes in general economic conditions or conditions
in the financial markets, and other risks related to the ability of
the Company to proceed with its plans for the project and other
risks set out in the Company's most recent MD&A, which is
available on the Company's website at
www.artemisgoldinc.com and on SEDAR at
www.sedar.com.
In making the forward-looking statements in this press
release, the Company has applied several material assumptions,
including without limitation, the assumptions that: (1) market
fundamentals will result in sustained mineral demand and prices;
(2) any necessary approvals and consents in connection with the
development of the project will be obtained; (3) financing for the
development, construction and continued operation of the project
will continue to be available on terms suitable to the Company; (4)
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
those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other
factors that cause the actual results or performance by the Company
to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, any
forward-looking statements. Accordingly, no assurances can be given
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 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
written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether
because of new information, future events or otherwise, except as
may be required under applicable securities laws.
