Comments on Forward Looking Information,
Estimates and other Cautionary Factors
This release includes certain statements that may be deemed "forward-looking
statements". All statements in this release, other than statements of
historical facts, especially those that address estimated resource quantities,
grades and contained metals, are forward-looking statements because they are
generally made on the basis of estimation and extrapolation from a limited
number of drill holes and metallurgical studies. Although diamond drill hole
core provides valuable information about the size, shape and geology of an
exploration project, there will always remain a significant degree of uncertainty
in connection with these valuation factors until a deposit has been extensively
drilled on closely spaced centers, which has occurred only in specific areas
on the Pebble Project. Although the Company believes the expectations expressed
in its forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such
statements should not be in any way construed as guarantees of the ultimate
size, quality or commercial feasibility of the Pebble Project or of the Company's
future performance. The likelihood of future mining at the Pebble Project is
subject to a large number of risks and will require achievement of a number
of technical, economic and legal objectives, including obtaining
necessary mining and construction permits, completion of pre-feasibility
and final feasibility studies, preparation of all necessary engineering for
underground workings and processing facilities as well as receipt of significant
additional financing to fund these objectives as well as funding mine construction.
Such funding may not be available to the Company on acceptable terms or on
any terms at all. There is no known ore at the Pebble Project and there
is no assurance that the mineralization at the Pebble Project will ever be
classified as ore. The need for compliance with extensive environmental and
socio-economic rules and practices and the requirement for the Company to
obtain government permitting can cause a delay or even abandonment of a mineral
project. The Company is also subject to the specific risks inherent in the
mining business as well as general economic and business conditions. For more
information on the Company, Investors should review the Company's annual
Form 40-F filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission
and its home jurisdiction filings that are available at www.sedar.com.
