FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This release contains "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities
legislation. Forward-looking statements include, but are not
limited to, statements that address activities, events or
developments that the Company expects or anticipates will or may
occur in the future, future mineral exploration activities, future
business strategy, competitive strengths, goals, expansion, growth
of the Company's businesses, operations, plans and with respect to
exploration results, the timing and success of exploration
activities generally, permitting time lines, government regulation
of exploration and mining operations, environmental risks, title
disputes or claims, limitations on insurance coverage, timing and
possible outcome of any pending litigation and timing and results
of future resource estimates or future economic studies.
Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified
by the use of words such as "anticipates", "plans", "planning",
"planned", "expected" or "looking forward", "does not expect",
"continues", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends",
"potential", "anticipates", "does not anticipate", or "belief", or
describes a "goal", or variation of such words and phrases or state
that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would",
"might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved.
Forward-looking statements are based on a number
of material factors and assumptions, including the receipt of
necessary regulatory approvals, that counterparties to material
agreements will duly perform their obligations there under, the
results of drilling and exploration activities, that contracted
parties provide goods and/or services on the agreed timeframes,
that equipment necessary for exploration is available as scheduled
and does not incur unforeseen break downs, that no labour shortages
or delays are incurred, that plant and equipment function as
specified, that no unusual geological or technical problems occur,
and that laboratory and other related services are available and
perform as contracted. Forward-looking statements involve
known and unknown risks, future events, conditions, uncertainties
and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance
or achievements to be materially different from any future results,
prediction, projection, forecast, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such
factors include, among others, the interpretation and actual
results of current exploration activities; changes in project
parameters as plans continue to be refined; future prices of
minerals; possible variations in grade or recovery rates; failure
of equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; the failure of
contracted parties to perform; labour disputes and other risks of
the mining industry; delays in obtaining governmental approvals or
financing or in the completion of exploration, as well as those
factors disclosed in the company's publicly filed documents.
Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors
that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ
materially from those described in forward-looking statements,
there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results
not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no
assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be
accurate, as actual results and future events could differ
materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly,
readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements.
