Certain of the statements made and information provided in
this press release are forward-looking statements or information
within the meaning of the United States Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and applicable Canadian securities
laws. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements and
forward-looking information can be identified by the use of words
such as "plans", "expects", "is expected", "budget",
"continue"", "projected", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts",
"projected", "intends", "anticipates", or "believes" or the
negatives thereof or variations of such words and phrases or
statements that certain actions, events or results "may", "could",
"would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved.
Such forward-looking statements or information include, but are not
limited to, statements or information with respect to the Election
of Directors.
Forward-looking statements and forward-looking information by
their nature are based on assumptions and involve known and unknown
risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual
results, performance or achievements of the Company to be
materially different from any future results, performance or
achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements or information.
We have made certain assumptions about the forward-looking
statements and information, including assumptions about the
geopolitical, economic, permitting and legal climate that we
operate in; the future price of gold and other commodities;
exchange rates; anticipated costs and expenses; production, mineral
reserves and resources and metallurgical recoveries, the impact of
acquisitions, dispositions, suspensions or delays on our business
and the ability to achieve our goals.
Even though our management believes that the assumptions made
and the expectations represented by such statements or information
are reasonable, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking
statement or information will prove to be accurate. Many
assumptions may be difficult to predict and are beyond our
control.
Furthermore, should one or more of the risks, uncertainties
or other factors materialize, or should underlying assumptions
prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those
described in forward-looking statements or information. These
risks, uncertainties and other factors include, among others, the
following: geopolitical and economic climate (global and local),
risks related to mineral tenure and permits; gold and other metal
price volatility; mining operational and development risk; foreign
country operational risks; risks of sovereign investment;
regulatory environment and restrictions, including environmental
regulatory restrictions and liability; discrepancies between actual
and estimated production, mineral reserves and resources and
metallurgical recoveries; risks related to impact of the sale of
our Chinese assets on the Company's operations; additional funding
requirements; currency fluctuations; litigation risks; community
and non-governmental organization actions; speculative nature of
gold exploration; dilution; share price volatility; competition;
loss of key employees; and defective title to mineral claims or
property, as well as those factors discussed in the sections
entitled "Forward-Looking Statements" and "Risk factors in our
business" in the Company's most recent Annual Information
Form & Form 40-F. The reader is directed to carefully review
the detailed risk discussion in our most recent Annual Information
Form filed on SEDAR under our Company name, for a fuller
understanding of the risks and uncertainties that affect the
Company's business and operations.
There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements or
information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future
events could differ materially from those anticipated in such
statements. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance
on the forward-looking statements or information contained
herein. Except as required by law, we do not expect to update
forward-looking statements and information continually as
conditions change and you are referred to the full discussion of
the Company's business contained in the Company's reports filed
with the securities regulatory authorities in Canada and the U.S.
