    This presentation contains certain statements that may be deemed "forward-looking statements". All statements in this

    document, other than statements of historical fact, that address events or developments that the Company 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. Forward-looking statements in this document include statements regarding the Company's intention to potentially

    acquire mineral properties, statements with respect to a potential financing of units, and statements with respect to the

    Companies exploration programs, the Company's. Expenditures on such exploration and the anticipated results of such

    exploration

    Although the Company 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, failure to successfully negotiate or subsequently close such transactions, inability to

    obtain required shareholder or regulatory approvals, uncertainty with respect to findings under exploration programs and

    general economic, market or business conditions. Investors are cautioned that any such statements are not guarantees of

    future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking

    statements. Forward looking statements are based on the beliefs, estimates and opinions of the Company's management

    on the date the statements are made. The Company undertakes no obligation to update these forward-lookingstatements in the event that management's beliefs, estimates or opinions, or other factors, should change.

    These statements are based on a number of assumptions, including, among others, assumptions regarding general

    business and economic conditions, the timing of the receipt of shareholder, regulatory and governmental approvals for

    the Company's proposed transactions, the ability of management to successfully consummate the proposed transactions

    and implement the planned exploration. The foregoing list of assumptions is not exhaustive. Events or circumstances

    could cause results to differ materially.
