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 non-GAAP financial measures, limitation, timing of the ramp-up phase, strip ratios, main pit plans, grade reconciliation
plans, mining of waste in preparation of an area for future mining 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.
