DisclaimersFORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION:This presentation contains certain “forward-looking information” under applicable securities laws concerning the proposed transaction and the business, operations and financial performance andcondition of the combined company, Alexis and Garson Gold. Forward-looking information includes, but is not limited to, statements with respect to estimated production and mine life of the variousmineral projects of Alexis and Garson Gold; synergies and financial impact of completed or proposed acquisitions; the benefits of the acquisitions and the development potential of the properties of Alexisand Garson Gold; the future price of gold; the estimation of mineral reserves and resources; the realization of mineral reserve estimates; the timing and amount of estimated future production; costs ofproduction; success of exploration activities; and currency exchange rate fluctuations. Forward-looking information may be characterized by words such as “plan,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “believe,”“anticipate”, “estimate” and other similar words, or statements that certain events or conditions “may” or “will” occur. Forward-looking information is based on the opinions and estimates of managementat the date the statements are made, and are based on a number of assumptions and subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events or results to differmaterially from those projected in the forward-looking information. Assumptions upon which such forward-looking information is based include Alexis’ ability to successfully complete the Alexis offer forGarson Gold; the successful completion of new development projects, planned expansions or other projects within the timelines anticipated and at anticipated production levels; the accuracy of mineralreserve and resource estimates, grades, mine life and cash cost estimates; whether mineral resources can be developed; title to mineral properties; financing requirements; and general economicconditions. Many of these assumptions are based on factors and events that are not within the control of Alexis and there is no assurance they will prove to be correct. Factors that could cause actual resultsto vary materially from results anticipated by such forward-looking information includes changes in market conditions, variations in ore grade or recovery rates, fluctuating metal prices and currencyexchange rates, changes in project parameters, the possibility of project cost overruns or unanticipated costs and expenses, labour disputes and other risks of the mining industry, failure of plant,equipment or processes to operate as anticipated, the business of the companies not being integrated successfully or such integration proving more difficult, time consuming or costly than expected as wellas those risk factors discussed or referred to in the annual Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Annual Information Form for each of Alexis and Garson Gold, as applicable, filed with the securitiesregulatory authorities in Canada and available at www.sedar.com. Although Alexis has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially fromthose described in forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Alexis undertakes no obligation to update forward-lookinginformation if circumstances or management’s estimates or opinions should change except as required by applicable securities laws. The reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-lookinginformation. Statements concerning mineral reserve and resource estimates may also be deemed to constitute forward-looking information to the extent they involve estimates of the mineralization thatwill be encountered if the property is developed. Comparative market information is as of a date prior to the date of this presentation.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:This presentation does not constitute an offer to buy or an invitation to sell, any of the securities of Alexis or Garson Gold. Such an offer may only be made pursuant to a registration statement andprospectus filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and an offer to purchase and circular filed with Canadian securities regulatory authorities. Investors and security holders are urged to readthe offer and take-over bid circular, if any, and any other relevant documents filed with the SEC and Canadian securities regulators, regarding the proposed business combination transaction because theycontain important information. Investors may obtain a free copy of the offer and take-over bid circular and other documents filed by Alexis on SEDAR or on Alexis’ website at www.alexisminerals.com or bydirecting a request to Alexis’ investor relations department.
CAUTIONARY NOTE TO U.S. INVESTORS CONCERNING ESTIMATES OF MEASURED, INDICATED AND INFERRED RESOURCES:This presentation uses the terms “Measured, “Indicated” and “Inferred” Resources. U.S. investors are advised that while such terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the Securities andExchange Commission does not recognize them. “Inferred Resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot beassumed that all or any part of an inferred resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of Inferred Resources may not form the basis of feasibility or other economicstudies. U.S. investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable.
NATIONAL INSTRUMENT 43-101:David Rigg, the President and CEO of the Company and a Qualified Person under NI 43-101, has read and approved the scientific and technical information in this presentation. This presentation containsinformation relating to a preliminary assessment that includes Inferred mineral resources which are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that wouldenable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is no certainty that the preliminary assessment will be realized.
