FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This presentation contains certain statements that may be deemed “forward-looking
statements”. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, that address events or
developments that BlueBird Battery Metals Inc. expects to occur, are forward-looking
statements. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts and are
generally, but not always identified by the words “expects”, “plans”, “anticipates”, “believes”,
“intends”, “estimates”, “projects”, “potential” and similar expressions, or that events or
conditions “will”, “would”, “may”, “could” or “should” occur. Although BlueBird Battery Metals
believes the expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements are based on
reasonable assumptions, such statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual
results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could
cause the actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include
market prices, exploration and production successes or failures, continued availability of capital
and financing, inability to obtain required shareholder or regulatory approvals, and general
economic market or business conditions. Forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs,
estimates and opinions of BlueBird’s management on the date the statements are made.
Nathan Tribble, P.Geo., has approved the information contained in this presentation. Mr.
Tribble is the P.Geo of the Company and is a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101.
