Forward-Looking Statements Caution: This news release contains “forward-looking information” and “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation (collectively, “forward-looking statements”). Forward-looking statements are generally identifiable by words such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “could”, “estimate”, “expect”, “forecast”, “intend”, “may”, “plan”, “potential”, “propose”, “schedule”, “should”, “target”, “will” and similar expressions, or by statements that events or conditions “may”, “will” or “would” occur.

Forward-looking statements in this news release include, but are not limited to, statements regarding: the Company’s ability to satisfy the terms, conditions and obligations under the Agreement; the anticipated timing and ability of the Company to make required cash payments, share issuances and incur or fund exploration expenditures in order to acquire the Properties; the preparation of an independent technical report; the completion of a site visit; the Company’s ability to fund its obligations and planned activities; and the ability of the Company to obtain all necessary approvals, including the final acceptance of the Agreement by the TSX Venture Exchange.

Forward-looking statements are based on management’s reasonable assumptions, estimates, expectations and opinions as of the date of this news release. Such assumptions include, without limitation: that the parties will be able to perform their respective obligations under the Agreement in a timely manner; that the Company will be able to obtain all required approvals and maintain good standing under the Agreement; that exploration and related activities can be planned and carried out as anticipated; that required permits, authorizations and access can be obtained on terms and timelines acceptable to the Company; that commodity prices, foreign exchange rates, general economic conditions, and capital markets will be supportive of the Company’s plans; that the Company will be able to obtain financing when required on reasonable terms; and that no material adverse changes will occur with respect to the Company’s business, assets or the Properties.

The forward-looking statements in this news release also reflect the Company’s current understanding of the Properties based on information available to it as of the date hereof. The property is at an early stage of exploration and, until exploration work is completed and results are analyzed and verified, the Company cannot confirm the merits of the Properties, including whether the property hosts mineralization of interest. Any references in this news release to the property’s “potential”, “prospectivity” or “exploration upside” are inherently speculative and based on incomplete information and assumptions that may prove incorrect. The presence of past-producing mines and deposits in the area is not necessarily indicative of mineralization on the Properties. The referenced mines and deposits are not on the Properties, and their historic production do not imply that similar mineralization occurs on the Properties or that exploration will be successful.

Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: the risk that the Company may not satisfy the conditions to, or may otherwise be unable to, acquire the Properties under the Agreement; the risk of termination of the Agreement; the risk that required Exchange approval may not be obtained; risks inherent in the exploration and development of mineral properties, including risks related to geology, sampling and assay variability, interpretation of exploration results, and the possibility that exploration results may not support further work; the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development; the risk that the merits of the property may not be realized; the availability of financing and changes in general economic and capital market conditions; fluctuations in commodity prices and exchange rates; changes in laws, regulations and policies, including permitting and environmental requirements; operational and logistical risks (including equipment availability, contractor performance, accidents, weather, wildfires, flooding and other natural events); title matters, including defects in title, competing claims, or the inability to obtain or maintain necessary rights of access; and other risks and uncertainties described in the Company’s continuous disclosure filings available under the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

Although the Company believes that the forward-looking statements contained in this news release are reasonable as of the date hereof, there can be no assurance that they will prove to be accurate, and actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The Company does not undertake to update or revise any forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable securities laws.
