Cautionary Notes
Certain statements contained herein may constitute
forward‐looking statements and are made pursuant to the "safe
harbor" provisions of the United States Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Canadian securities laws.
Forward‐looking statements are statements which relate to future
events. Such statements include estimates, forecasts and statements
as to management's expectations with respect to, among other
things, business and financial prospects, financial multiples and
accretion estimates, future trends, plans, strategies, objectives
and expectations, including with respect to production, exploration
drilling, reserves and resources, exploitation activities and
events or future operations. Information inferred from the
interpretation of drilling results and information concerning
mineral resource estimates may also be deemed to be forward-looking
statements, as it constitutes a prediction of what might be found
to be present when, and if, a project is actually
developed.
In some cases, you can identify forward‐looking statements
by terminology such as "may", "should", "expects", "plans,
"anticipates", believes", "estimates", "predicts", "potential", or
"continue" or the negative of these terms or other comparable
terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve
known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may
cause our or our industry's actual results, level of activity,
performance or achievements to be materially different from any
future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements
expressed or implied by these forward‐looking statements.
While these forward‐looking statements, and any assumptions
upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our
current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual
results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any
estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future
performance suggestions herein. Except as required by applicable
law, Majestic Gold does not intend to update any forward‐looking
statements to conform these statements to actual results
Production Disclaimer
The Company's production decision was not based on a
feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and
technical viability. The Company's production decision was made
based on the open pit optimization resource model set out in the
Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA"), which takes into account
the relatively low mining costs negotiated by the Company. The pit
optimization that was conducted in the preliminary assessment
generated a production schedule summary at grade cut-off of 0.30
gram per tonne Au.
The PEA includes the inferred mineral resources that are
considered too speculative geologically to have the economic
considerations applied to them that would enable them to be
categorized as mineral reserves. There is no certainty that the
preliminary assessment will ever be realized. Mineral resources
that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic
viability.
