Cautionary Note to US Investors Concerning Estimates of Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources
This presentation uses the terms “Measured”, “Indicated” and “Inferred” Resources. U.S. investors are advised that while such terms are
recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize them. “Inferred Resources” have a
great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an
inferred resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of Inferred Resources may not form the basis of
feasibility or other economic studies. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of Measured or Indicated Resources will ever
be converted into reserves. U.S. investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an Inferred mineral Resource exists, or is
economically or legally mineable.
