Forward-Looking Statements
==> picture [110 x 68] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [702 x 6] intentionally omitted <==
This presentation contains “forward-looking statements”. Such forward-looking statements may include, without limitation:
-
Estimates of future results of exploration activities;
-
Estimates of future cash flow;
-
Estimates of future capital expenditure and resources;
-
Estimates of mineral reserves, resources and statements regarding future exploration results.
-
Where the Company expresses or implies an expectation or belief as to future events or results, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis. However, forward looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, which could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed, projected or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks include, but are not limited to 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 political and operational risks in the countries and states in which we operate or sell product to, and governmental regulation and judicial outcomes.
-
The Company does not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to any “forward-looking statement” to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this presentation, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.
