Caution regarding forward-looking information:
Statements contained in this document which are not historical facts are forward-looking statements that involve risk, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. This forward-looking information includes, or may be based upon, estimates, forecasts, and statements as to management’s expectations with respect to, among other things, the outcome of legal proceedings, the issue of permits, the size and quality of the company’s mineral resources, progress in development of mineral properties, future production and sales volumes, capital and mine production costs, demand and market outlook for metals, future metal prices and treatment and refining charges, and the financial results of the company. Factors that could cause such differences, without limiting the generality of the following, include: volatility and sensitivity to market metal prices; impact of change in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates; imprecision in reserves estimates; environmental risks including increased regulatory burdens; unexpected geological conditions; adverse mining conditions; political risks arising from operating in developing countries; legal title to properties, outcome of litigation, changes in government regulations and policies, including laws and policies; and failure to obtain necessary permits and approvals from government authorities; and other development and operating risks.
Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Inferred mineral resources are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is no certainty that mineral resources will be converted into mineral reserves.
