statements relate to analyses and other information that are based
on forecasts of future results, estimates of amounts not yet
determinable and assumptions of management. Any other statements
that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions,

future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by
such forward-looking statements. Such risks and other factors
include, among others, market and other conditions, the actual
results of exploration activities, variations in the underlying
assumptions associated with the estimation or realization of
mineral resources, the availability of capital to fund programs and
the resulting dilution caused by the raising of capital through the
sale of shares, accidents, labor disputes and other risks of the
mining industry including, without limitation, those associated
with the environment, delays in obtaining governmental approvals,
permits or financing or in the completion of development or
construction activities, title disputes or claims limitations on
insurance coverage. Although the Company has attempted to identify
important factors that could cause actual actions, events or
results to differ materially from those described in
forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause
actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or
intended. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove
to be accurate as actual results and future events could differ
materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly,

cause actual results to differ materially and that could impact the
Company and the statements contained in this news release can be
found in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. For forward-looking statements in this news
release, the Company claims the protection of the safe
harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private
