Cautionary Note to Investors --- Investors are cautioned not to assume that any 'measured mineral resources', 'indicated mineral resources', or 'inferred mineral resources' that the Company reports in this news release are or will be economically or legally mineable. United States investors are cautioned that while the SEC now recognizes 'measured mineral resources', 'indicated mineral resources' and 'inferred mineral resources', investors should not assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into a higher category of mineral resources or into mineral reserves. These terms have a great amount of uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. Under Canadian regulations, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in limited circumstances. Further, 'inferred mineral resources' have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that any part or all of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. The mineral reserve and mineral resource data set out in this news release are estimates, and no assurance can be given that the anticipated tonnages and grades will be achieved or that the indicated level of recovery will be realized.
