<P style="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:5pt; padding-left:36pt" align=justify>Safe Harbor Statement under the United States Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995: &nbsp;This release made may contain forward-looking statements that are affected by known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company, or industry results, to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed, implied or anticipated by such forward-looking statements. &nbsp;Such forward-looking statements herein represent management&#146;s best judgment as of the date hereof based on information currently available. &nbsp;The Company does not intend to update this information and disclaims any legal liability to the contrary. Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors concerning resource estimates. &nbsp;This press release discusses the results of a scoping study, which is a &#147;preliminary assessment&#148; as defined in the Canad
ian NI 43-101, under which the use of inferred mineral resources is permitted under certain circumstances. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission regulations do not recognize any circumstances in which inferred mineral resources may be so used. &nbsp;U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of an inferred resource category described as a &#145;resource falling within the mine plan&#146; will ever be converted into &#145;reserves&#146; within the definition of that term in SEC Industry Guide 7. &nbsp;Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors concerning estimates of Measured and Indicated Resources. &nbsp;This section uses the terms &#147;measured&#148; and &#147;indicated resources.&#148; &nbsp;We advise U.S. investors that, while those terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize them. &nbsp;U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be conver
ted into reserves.</P>
