--->pective," and similar expressions, or that events or conditions "will," "would," "may," "can," "could" or "should" occ
--->ur, or are those statements, which, by their nature, refer to future events. The Company cautions that forward-looking
---> statements are based on the beliefs, estimates and opinions of the Company's management on the date the statements ar
--->e made and they involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Consequently, there can be no assurances that such statem

--->nge, the Company undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements if management's beliefs, estimate
--->s or opinions, or other factors, should change. Factors that could cause future results to differ materially from thos
--->e anticipated in these forward-looking statements include the timing of filing of any updated disclosure documents, th
--->e risk of accidents and other risks associated with mineral exploration operations, the risk that the Company will enc
--->ounter unanticipated geological factors, or the possibility that the Company may not be able to secure permitting and 
--->other governmental clearances, necessary to carry out the Company's exploration plans, and the risk of political uncer
--->tainties and regulatory or legal changes in the jurisdictions where the Company carries on its business that might int
--->erfere with the Company's business and prospects. The reader is urged to refer to the Company's reports, publicly avai
--->lable through the Canadian Securities Administrators' System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR) at
---> www.sedar.com for a more complete discussion of such risk factors and their potential effects.
