Nature of Document. This presentation has been prepared and issued by Catalyst Metals Limited (Company) to provide general information about the Company.. The information in this document is in summary form and should not be relied upon as a complete and accurate representation of any matters that a reader should consider in evaluating the Company. While management has taken every effort to ensure the accuracy of the material in this presentation, the Company and its advisers have not verified the accuracy or completeness of the material contained in this presentation.
Not an offer. This presentation and its contents are not an invitation, offer, solicitation or recommendation with respect to the purchase or sale of any securities in the Company in any jurisdiction and must not be distributed, transmitted, or viewed by any person in any jurisdiction where the distribution, transmission or viewing of this document would be unlawful under the securities or other laws of that or any other jurisdiction. This presentation is not a prospectus or any other offering document under Australian law (and will not be lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission) or any other law.
Not financial product advice. Neither the Company nor any of its related bodies corporate is licensed to provide financial product advice in respect of the Company's securities or any other financial products. You should not act and refrain from acting in reliance on this presentation. Nothing contained in this presentation constitutes investment, legal, tax or other advice. This presentation does not take into account the individual investment objectives, financial situation and particular needs of Company shareholders. Before making a decision to invest in the Company at any time, you should conduct, with the assistance of your broker or other financial or professional adviser, your own investigation in light of your particular investment needs, objectives and financial circumstances and perform your own analysis of the Company before making any investment decision.
Disclaimer. No representation or warranty, express or implied, is made by the Company that the material contained in this presentation will be achieved or proved correct. Except for statutory liability which cannot be excluded, each of the Company, its directors, officers, employees, advisors and agents expressly disclaims any responsibility for the accuracy, fairness, sufficiency or completeness of the material contained in this presentation and excludes all liability whatsoever (including in negligence) for any loss or damage which may be suffered by any person as a consequence of any information in this presentation or any effort or omission therefrom. The Company will not update or keep current the information contained in this presentation or to correct any inaccuracy or omission which may become apparent, or to furnish any person with any further information. Any opinions expressed in the presentation are subject to change without notice.
Estimates of Resources and Reserves. It is a requirement of the ASX Listing Rules that the reporting of ore reserves and mineral resources in Australia comply with the Joint Ore Reserves Committee’s Australasian Code for Reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (JORC Code). Investors outside Australia should note that while mineral resource estimates of Catalyst in this presentation comply with the JORC Code (such JORC Code-compliant ore reserves and mineral resources being "Ore Reserves" and "Mineral Resources" respectively), they may not comply with the relevant guidelines in other countries and, in particular, do not comply with (i) National Instrument 43-101 (Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects) of the Canadian Securities Administrators (the "Canadian NI 43-101 Standards"); or (ii) Industry Guide 7, which governs disclosures of mineral reserves in registration statements filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Information contained in this presentation describing mineral deposits may not be comparable to similar information made public by companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of Canadian or US securities laws. In particular, Industry Guide 7 does not recognise classifications other than proven and probable reserves and, as a result, the SEC generally does not permit mining companies to disclose their mineral resources in SEC filings. You should not assume that quantities reported as “resources” will be converted to reserves under the JORC Code or any other reporting regime or that Catalyst will be able to extract them.
Future performance. This presentation contains forward-looking information about the Company and its operations. In certain cases, forward-looking information may be identified by such terms as "anticipates", "believes", “should”, "could", "estimates", “target”, “likely”, “plan”, "expects", "may", “intend”, "shall", "will", or "would". Forward-looking statements are subject to risk factors associated with the Company’s business, many of which are beyond the control of the Company. Any forward-looking statements are also based on assumptions and contingencies which are subject to change without notice and which may ultimately prove to be materially incorrect. Investors should consider the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation in light of those disclosures and not place undue reliance on such statements. The forward-looking statements in this presentation are not guarantees or predictions of future performance and may involve significant elements of subjective judgment, assumptions as to future events that may not be correct, known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside the control of the Company. The forward-looking statements are based on information available to the Company as at the date of this presentation. Except as required by law or regulation (including the ASX Listing Rules), the Company undertakes no obligation to provide any additional or updated information or update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise. Indications of, and guidance on, future earnings or financial position or performance are also forward-looking statements, and include disclosures in this presentation relating to the post equity raising capital structure. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company and its directors, officers, employees, advisers, agents and intermediaries and the Lead Manager disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release any updates or revisions to the information to reflect any change in expectations or assumptions. Neither the Company, nor the Financial Advisers, makes any representation or warranty (express or implied) as to the fairness, accuracy, reliability, currency or completeness of any forward-looking statements contained in this presentation.
