Disclaimer & Competent Person Statement

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT – FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This announcement may contain certain “forward-looking statements” which may not have been based solely on historical facts, but rather may be based on the Company’s current expectations about future events and results. Where the Company expresses or implies an expectation of belief as to future events or results, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis. The detailed reasons for that conclusion are outlined throughout this announcement and all Material Assumptions are disclosed.

However, forward looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors, which could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed, projected or implied by such forwardlooking statements.

Such risks include, but are not limited to resource risk, metals price volatility, currency fluctuations, increased production costs and variances in ore grade or recovery rates from those assumed in mining plans, as well as governmental regulation and judicial outcomes.

For a more detailed discussion of such risks and other factors, see the Company’s Annual Reports, as well as the Company’s other filings. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward looking information. The Company does not undertake any obligation to release publically any revisions to any “forward looking statement” to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this announcement, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT – PRELIMINARY NATURE OF STUDY

This announcement has been prepared in accordance with the JORC Code (2012) and the ASX Listing Rules. The Company advises that the Scoping Study results contained in this announcement are preliminary in nature as the conclusions are based on low-level technical and economic assessments, and are insufficient to support the calculation of Ore Reserves or to provide an assurance of economic development at this time. There is a low level of geological confidence associated with Inferred Mineral resources as used in this report and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the determination of Indicated Mineral Resources or that the outcomes of the Scoping Study will be realised. Accordingly, these Inferred Resources should not be relied on by investors when making investment decisions.

ASX announcements are available on the Company’s website at www.capmetals.com.au
