Cautionary Note to Shareholders in the United States

Information in this presentation, including the documents incorporated by reference herein, has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of United States securities laws. Without limiting the foregoing, this presentation, including the documents incorporated by reference herein, uses terms such as “indicated mineral resources” and “inferred mineral resources”. United States investors are advised that, while such terms are recognized and required by Canadian securities law, the SEC does not recognize them. Under United States standards, mineralization may not be classified as a “reserve” unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is made. United States investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of indicated mineral resources will ever be converted into reserves. Further, “inferred mineral resources” have a great amount of uncertainty to their existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of “inferred mineral resources” will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Therefore. United States investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of the inferred resources exist, or that they can be mined legally or economically. Accordingly, information concerning descriptions of mineralization and resources contained in this presentation or in the documents incorporated by reference, may not be comparable to information made public by United States companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the SEC.

National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Project (“NI 43-101”) is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators which establishes standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects. Unless otherwise indicated, all mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates contained in or incorporated by reference in this presentation have been prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum Classification System. These standards differ significantly from the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and mineral reserve and mineral resource information contained herein and incorporated by reference herein may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by United States companies.
