Cautionary Note To U.S. Investors Concerning Estimates Of Measured, Indicated And Inferred Resources
This presentation uses the terms “Measured”, “Indicated” and Inferred” Resources. U.S. investors are advised that while such
terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize them.
“Inferred Resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal
feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under
Canadian rules, estimates of Inferred Resources may not form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies. U.S. investors are
cautioned not to assume that all or any part of Measured or Indicated Resources will ever be converted into reserves. U.S.
investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource exists, or is economically or legally
mineable.

Safety Information.
“EB” system is an internet social media system that makes the collection,
distribution and flow of the work related knowledge and information easy and
transparent for parties at different locations.
