An additional Cautionary Note to Investors: In the event that we use certain terms in this presentation such as "resource", "measured resource", "indicated resource" and "inferred resource". US investors are cautioned that, while such terms are recognized and required by Canadian Securities Laws, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize them. Under U.S. 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 has been made. U.S. investors should not assume that all or any part of measured or indicated resources will ever be converted into reserves. In addition, "inferred resources" have a greater amount of uncertainly as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically. Accordingly, information concerning descriptions of mineralization in the presentation may not be comparable to information made public by companies that are subject to the SEC's Industry Guide 7.
