Caution With Respect To Forward-looking
Statements:
The information in the press news includes
certain "forward-looking statements". All statements in the press release, other than statements of historical fact,
including, without limitation, trend information on increasing gold production and decreasing unit costs, contemplated Phase II
heap leach pad and Intermediate Leach Solution System completion, mining fleet delivery and other statements related to plans and
intentions with respect to activities on the Project are forward-looking statements. There can be no assurance that such statements
will prove to be accurate, and actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from statements in this news release regarding our intentions
include, without limitation, risks and uncertainties regarding: accidents, equipment breakdowns; changes in planned work resulting
from logistical, technical or other factors; that results of operations on the Project will not meet projected expectations due
to any combination of technical, or operational factors; that current early production stage results, including flow rates and
ore quality, are indicative of results over time; and other risks and uncertainties disclosed in the section entitled "Risk
Factors" contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. Investors are cautioned that forward-looking
statements are not guarantees of future performance and, accordingly, investors should not put undue reliance on forward-looking
statements. Any forward-looking statement made by the Company in the press release is based only on information currently available
to us and speaks only as of the date on which it is made.
