As previously disclosed by Searchlight Minerals Corp. (the “Company”)

with Hein regarding either: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed,
or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, in either case where written or
oral advice provided by Hein would be an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing
or financial reporting issues; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(iv)
of Item 304 of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to that item) or a reportable event (as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(v)
of Item 304 of Regulation S-K).
