Forward Looking Statements

Some of the statements contained in this presentation are forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are not historical facts and are subject to a number of risks

and uncertainties beyond the Company's control, including, but not exclusively,

statements regarding potential mineralization, exploration results, completion of work

program and studies, and future plans and objectives of the Company. Resource

exploration, development and operations are highly speculative, characterized by a

number of significant risks, which even a combination of careful evaluation, experience

and knowledge may not eliminate, including, among other things, unprofitable efforts

resulting not only from the failure to discover mineral resources but from finding mineral

deposits which, though present, are insufficient in quantity and quality to return a profit

from production.

Qualified Person: Mr Stephen R Maynard, M.S., C.P.G., has acted as the qualified person

as defined in National Instrument 43-101 for this disclosure and supervised the

preparation of the technical information in this release.
