Caution
The Company cautions that it has notdefined or delineated any proven or probable reserves for the OtsoMine Project and mineralization estimates may therefore requireadjustment or downward revision based upon further exploration ordevelopment work or actual production experience. Mineral resourcesthat are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economicviability.
The Company also cautions that thedecision by the Company to proceed to develop the Otso Mine Projectand extract mineralization proceeded without the Company firstestablishing reserves supported by a technical report and completing apre-feasibility or feasibility study. Accordingly, there is a higherrisk of technical and economic failure at Otso because developmentproceeded without first establishing reserves supported by a technicalreport and completing a feasibility study. This is particularlyrelevant as the Company has proceeded with development at Otso onindicated and inferred resources without first completing apreliminary economic report.
