Forward-Looking Information
The information contained herein contains "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of the United States Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and "forward-looking
information" within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities
legislation. "Forward-looking information" includes, but is not
limited to, statements with respect to the activities, events or
developments that the Company expects or anticipates will or may
occur in the future. Generally, but not always, forward-looking
information and statements can be identified by the use of words
such as "plans", "expects", "is expected", "budget", "scheduled",
"estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "anticipates", or "believes"
or the negative connotation thereof or variations of such words and
phrases or state that certain actions, events or results "may",
"could", "would", "might" or "will be taken", "occur" or "be
achieved" or the negative connotation thereof.
Forward-looking information and statements are based on the
then current expectations, beliefs, assumptions, estimates and
forecasts about NexGen's business and the industry and markets in
which it operates. Forward-looking information and statements are
made based upon numerous assumptions, including among others, that
the proposed transaction will be completed, the results of planned
exploration activities are as anticipated, the price of uranium,
the cost of planned exploration activities, that financing will be
available if and when needed and on reasonable terms, that third
party contractors, equipment, supplies and governmental and other
approvals required to conduct NexGen's planned exploration
activities will be available on reasonable terms and in a timely
manner and that general business and economic conditions will not
change in a material adverse manner. Although the assumptions made
by the Company in providing forward looking information or making
forward looking statements are considered reasonable by management
at the time, there can be no assurance that such assumptions will
prove to be accurate.
Forward-looking information and statements also involve known
and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors, which may
cause actual results, performances and achievements of NexGen to
differ materially from any projections of results, performances and
achievements of NexGen expressed or implied by such forward-looking
information or statements, including, among others, negative
operating cash flow and dependence on third party financing,
uncertainty of the availability of additional financing, the risk
that pending assay results will not confirm previously announced
preliminary results, imprecision of mineral resource estimates, the
appeal of alternate sources of energy and sustained low uranium
prices, aboriginal title and consultation issues, exploration
risks, reliance upon key management and other personnel,
deficiencies in the Company's title to its properties, uninsurable
risks, failure to manage conflicts of interest, failure to obtain
or maintain required permits and licenses, changes in laws,
regulations and policy, competition for resources and financing,
and other factors discussed or referred to in the Company's Annual
Information Form dated March 11, 2020
under "Risk Factors".
Although the Company has attempted to identify important
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those contained in the forward-looking information or implied by
forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause
results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended.
There can be no assurance that forward-looking information
and statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and
future events could differ materially from those anticipated,
estimated or intended. Accordingly, readers should not place undue
reliance on forward-looking statements or information. The Company
undertakes no obligation to update or reissue forward-looking
information as a result of new information or events except as
required by applicable securities laws.
