Cautionary note to United States investors concerning estimates of measured, indicated and inferred resources

This website uses the terms “Measured”, “Indicated” and “Inferred” Resources.

Under Canadian securities laws and regulations, estimates of Inferred Mineral Resources may not form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies. United States investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of Measured or Indicated Mineral Resources will ever be converted into Mineral Reserves. United States investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource exists, or that is economically mineable.
