Cautionary Note to United States Investors Concerning Estimates of Mineral Resources

The information in this presentation has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Canadian securities laws, specifically National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”). These standards differ significantly from the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pursuant to Regulation S-K Subpart 1300.

Key Differences in Mining Standards

  • Inferred Mineral Resources: Under NI 43-101, companies may disclose “Inferred Mineral Resources,” which have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and economic feasibility. Under U.S. standards, an Inferred Mineral Resource has a lower level of confidence than that applied to an Indicated Mineral Resource and must not be converted to a Mineral Reserve.

  • Prohibition on Economic Valuation: Pursuant to SEC Regulation S-K 1300, Inferred Mineral Resources may not form the basis of a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), Net Present Value (NPV), or other economic analysis for public disclosure in the United States.
    U.S. Reference Point: Unlike Canadian standards which allow the inclusion of Inferred Resources in a PEA (provided cautionary language is used), the SEC considers these resources too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them.
  • Terminology and Verification: The SEC requires a “Technical Report Summary” prepared by a Qualified Person to support the disclosure of Mineral Resources. This presentation includes historical estimates, such as the 877,000 ounces of gold at the N2 Project, which have not been verified as current mineral resources under either NI 43-101 or SEC S-K 1300 standards.

  • Resource vs. Reserve: U.S. investors are cautioned that “Mineral Resources” are not “Mineral Reserves” and do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is no assurance that any part of a Mineral Resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category or successfully converted into a Mineral Reserve.
