FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Some disclosure included in this web site respecting production, capital spending, development schedules, expenses, markets, and milling arrangements represent forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may", "will", "expect", "intent", "estimate", "anticipate", "believe" or "continue" or the negative thereof or variations thereon or similar terminology. Such statements are based on assumptions and estimates related to future market conditions. These statements involve risks and uncertainties relating to, among other things, changes in commodity prices, unanticipated reserve and resource grades, results of exploration activities, timeliness of government approvals, economic risk, actual performance of plant, equipment and processes relative to specifications and expectations and unanticipated environmental impacts on operations. While management reviews the reasonableness of its assumptions and estimates, unusual and unanticipated events may occur which render them inaccurate. Under such circumstances, future performance may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.
