constructing the mine and developing it to production; sustaining capital and theduration of financing payback periods; operating costs and total costs; net cashflow; net present value; the economic returns that may be derived by theCompany from Block 14; obtaining licenses and permits; government regulationof the Company’s mining activities; that the development and mining of Block 14will proceed as expected in the manner set out in the Feasibility Study; futureprices of gold and other metals; performance of contractual obligations bycounterparties; operating conditions; political stability; obtaining governmentalapprovals and financing on time; financial projections and budgets;environmental risks and expenses; market conditions; the securities market;price volatility of the Company’s securities; currency exchange rates; foreignmining tax regimes; insurance and uninsured risks; financial projections andresults; and competition and reclamation obligations.

the development and mining of Block 14 may experience delays and may notproceed on the expected timeline, or at all; that the Company may develop Block14 in a different manner than is set forth in the Feasibility Study; risks relating toour dependence on key personnel; risks related to our dependence on outsideparties; risks related to conflicts of interest involving our directors and officers;risks related to litigation; that the Company may encounter land title issues andlocal community issues; and other known and unknown risks, uncertainties andother factors relating to the Forward-Looking Factors above, and those risksdisclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s annual informationform on file with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities and availableelectronically on the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com.
