  • the anticipated use of the proceeds from the financings;
  • the potential to verify and potentially expand upon the historical resources;
  • the potential for the expansion of the known mineralized zones; and
  • the potential for the amenability of mineralization to respond to proven technologies and methods for recovery of ore.

Although the Company believes that such statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Inherent in forward-looking statements are risks and uncertainties beyond the Company's ability to predict or control, including, but not limited to, risks related to the Company's inability to negotiate successfully for the acquisition of interests in exploration and evaluation assets, the determination of applicable governmental agencies not to issue the exploration concessions applied for by the Company or excessive delay by the applicable governmental agencies in connection with any such issuances, the Company's inability to identify one or more economic deposits on its properties, variations in the nature, quality and quantity of any mineral deposits that may be located, the Company's inability to obtain any necessary permits, consents or authorizations required for its activities, to produce minerals from its properties successfully or profitably, to continue its projected growth, to raise the necessary capital or to be fully able to implement its business strategies, and other risks identified herein under "Risk Factors".

The Company cautions investors that any forward-looking statements by the Company are not guarantees of future performance, and that actual results are likely to differ, and may differ materially, from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A. Such statements are based on a number of assumptions which may prove incorrect, including, but not limited to, assumptions about:

  • the level and volatility of the prices for precious metals;
  • general business and economic conditions;
  • the timing of the receipt of regulatory and governmental approvals, permits and authorizations necessary to implement and carry on the Company's planned exploration programs;
  • conditions in the financial markets generally, and with respect to the prospects for junior exploration gold and precious metal companies specifically;
  • the Company's ability to secure the necessary consulting, drilling and related services and supplies on favorable terms;
  • the Company's ability to attract and retain key staff, and to retain consultants to provide the specialized information and skills involved in understanding the precious metal exploration, mining, processing and marketing businesses;
  • the nature and location of the Company's mineral exploration projects, and the timing of the ability to commence and complete the planned exploration programs;
  • the anticipated terms of the consents, permits and authorizations necessary to carry out the planned exploration programs and the Company's ability to comply with such terms on a cost-effective basis;
  • the ongoing relations of the Company with government agencies and regulators and its underlying property vendors/optionees; and
  • that the metallurgy and recovery characteristics of samples from certain of the Company's exploration and evaluation assets are reflective of the deposit as a whole.
