Cautionary Note to United States Investors

The Company is a Canadian issuer that reports its Mineral Resource information in accordance with NI 43-101 and the CIM Definition Standards, which differ from the mineral property disclosure requirements applicable to U.S. domestic issuers under Subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K ("S-K 1300"). As a foreign private issuer eligible to file reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the U.S.-Canada Multijurisdictional Disclosure System, the Company is not currently required to prepare its mineral property disclosure in accordance with S-K 1300. Accordingly, Mineral Resource information contained in this news release may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by U.S. companies subject to S-K 1300, and there can be no assurance that Mineral Resources reported by the Company under NI 43-101 would be the same if prepared in accordance with S-K 1300.
