Forward Looking and Competent Person Statement

This corporate presentation contains forward looking statements which constitute “forward looking information” within the meaning of securities legislation and “Forward Looking Statements”.

• All statements included herein, other than statements of historical fact, are Forward Looking Statements and are subject to a variety of known and unknown risks and uncertainties which could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those reflected in the Forward Looking Statements. The Forward Looking Statements in this corporate presentation may include, without limitation, statements about the company’s plans for its exploration projects and future exploration, evaluation and development including drilling activities, quantification of mineral resources, feasibility studies, the construction and development of the Bekisopa Project, the company’s business strategy, plans and outlook; the merit of the company’s mineral properties; mineral exploration potential, timelines; the future financial or operating performance of the company and cost guidance; expenditures; approvals and other matters. • Often, but not always, these Forward Looking Statements can be identified by the use of words such as “estimate”, “estimated”, “potential”, “planned”, “open”, “future”, “assumed”, “projected”, “calculated”, “used”, “detailed”, “has been”, “gain”, “upgraded”, “expected”, “offset”, “limited”, “contained”,“reflecting”,“containing”,“conduct”,“increasing”,“remaining”,“to be”, “periodically”, or statements that events, “could” or“ should” occur or be achieved and similar expressions, including negative variations.

• Forward Looking Statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the company to be materially different from any results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the Forward Looking Statements. Such uncertainties and factors include, among others, changes in general economic conditions and financial markets; changes in commodity prices; technological and operational hazards in mine development activities; risks inherent in mineral exploration; uncertainties inherent in the estimation of mineral reserves, mineral resources, and metal recoveries; construction delays, the timing and availability of financing; governmental and other approvals; political unrest or instability in countries where IPR is active; labour relations issues; as well as those factors discussed under “Risk Factors” in the Company's Subscription Deed.

• 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 to differ from those anticipated, estimated or intended. Forward Looking Statements contained herein are based on the assumptions, beliefs, expectations and opinions of management, including but not limited to estimates of future exploration success; expectations on economic viability of any mineral resource identified; expectations regarding future construction costs; expected trends in mineral prices and currency exchange rates; that the company’s activities will be in accordance with the company’s public statements and stated goals; that there will be no material adverse change affecting the company or its properties; that all required approvals will be obtained; that there will be no significant disruptions affecting operations, including the development and construction of the Bekisopa Project or any other project the Company seeks to advance, and such other assumptions as set out herein.

• Forward Looking Statements are made as of the date hereof and the Company disclaims any obligation to update any Forward Looking Statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise, except as required by law. 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, investors should not place undue reliance on Forward Looking Statements. This corporate presentation also refers to non-IFRS financial measures, such as future guesstimate of cash cost per tonne of processed ore and guesstimates of operating cash flow. These measures do not have a standardized meaning or method of calculation, even though the descriptions of such measures may be similar.

Competent Person Statement
