Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors and concerning estimates of Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources
This Site has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the securities laws in effect in Canada which differ from the requirements of the United States of America (“U.S.” or “United States”) securities laws. All mining terms used herein but not otherwise defined have the meanings set forth in National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”). Unless otherwise indicated, the technical and scientific disclosure herein has been prepared in accordance with NI 43-101, which differs significantly from the requirements adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K (the “SEC Modernization Rules”). The Company is not currently subject to the SEC Modernization Rules. Accordingly, the Company’s disclosure of mineralization and other technical information herein may differ significantly from the information that would be disclosed had the Company prepared such information under the standards adopted under the SEC Modernization Rules.
Readers are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of mineral resources will ever be converted into reserves. Pursuant to Canadian Institute of Mining Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves (the “CIM Standards”), inferred mineral resources are that part of a mineral resource for which quantity and grade or quality are estimated on the basis of limited geological evidence and sampling. Such geological evidence is sufficient to imply but not verify geological and grade or quality continuity. An inferred mineral resource has a lower level of confidence than that applying to an indicated mineral resource and must not be converted to a mineral reserve. However, it is reasonably expected that the majority of inferred mineral resources could be upgraded to indicated mineral resources with continued exploration. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource is economically or legally mineable.
Non-IFRS Measures
This Site and the materials posted on it may include certain terms or performance measures commonly used in the mining industry that are not defined under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), including, but not limited to, “cash operating costs” and “all-in sustaining costs”. Non-IFRS measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS, and therefore they may not be comparable to similar measures employed by other companies. The data presented is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Readers should refer to the Company’s most recently filed Management Discussion & Analysis, available under the Company’s corporate profile at www.sedar.com or on the Site, for a more detailed discussion of how the Company calculates such measures and a reconciliation of certain measures to IFRS terms.
