Cautionary Statement

With the exception of historical matters, information discussed in the exhibit includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from projections or estimates contained therein. Such forward-looking statements are sometimes identified by words such as “intends,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects” and “hopes” and similar expressions. Such forward-looking statements include, among others, statements regarding exploration results and the completion of certain business transactions. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from projections or estimates include, among others, precious metals prices, future exploration results, economic and market conditions, results of due diligence, regulatory and court approval and decisions of third parties over which the Company has no control, as well as other factors described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, and other filings with the SEC. Most of these factors are beyond the Company’s ability to predict or control. The Company disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statement made in the press release. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
