Forward Looking and Cautionary Statements

This news release contains certain forward‐looking statements (forecasts) under applicable securities laws relating to future events or future performance. Forward‐looking statements are necessarily based upon assumptions and judgments with respect to the future. In some cases, forward‐looking statements can be identified by terminology such as "may", "will", "should", "expect", "projects", "plans", "anticipates" and similar expressions. These statements represent management's expectations or beliefs concerning, among other things, future operating results and various components thereof affecting the economic performance of MGold. Undue reliance should not be placed on these forward‐looking statements which are based upon management's assumptions and are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including the business risks discussed above, which may cause actual performance and financial results in future periods to differ materially from any projections of future performance or results expressed or implied by such forward ‐looking statements . Accordingly, readers are cautioned that events or circumstances could cause results to differ materially from those predicted. These statements speak only as of the date specified in the statements.

The Company's actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward looking statements contained throughout this news release as a result of the material risk factors set forth below:

  • volatility in market prices for oil and natural gas;
  • liabilities inherent in oil and natural gas operations;
  • uncertainties associated with estimating oil and natural gas reserves;
  • geological, technical, drilling and processing problems; and
  • general business and market conditions.

These factors should not be construed as exhaustive. Unless required by law, the Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

There is no certainty that any portion of the resources will be discovered. If discovered, there is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the resources.

Barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet (Mcf) of natural gas to one barrel (bbl) of oil is based on an energy conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and is not intended to represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.
