Statements that are not historical fact are &#8220;forward-looking statements&#8221; as that term is defined in the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and &#8220;forward looking information&#8221; as that term is defined in National Instrument 51-102 (&#8220;NI 51-102&#8221;) of the Canadian Securities Administrators (collectively, &#8220;forward-looking statements&#8221;). Forward-looking statements are frequently, but not always, identified by words such as &#8220;expects&#8221;, &#8220;anticipates&#8221;, &#8220;believes&#8221;, &#8220;intends&#8221;, &#8220;estimates&#8221;, &#8220;potential&#8221;, &#8220;possible&#8221; and similar expressions, or statements that events, conditions or results &#8220;will&#8221;, &#8220;may&#8221;, &#8220;could&#8221; or &#8220;should&#8221; occur or be achieved. These forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the anticipated closing date of and the use of proceeds from the Private Placement. In making the forward-looking statements herein, the Company has applied certain material assumptions including, but not limited to, the assumptions that all regulatory approvals will be received in a timely manner and on acceptable terms; that general business conditions will note change in a materially adverse manner and that the Private Placement will proceed as planned.</em></p>  <p align="justify"><em>Forward-looking statements are statements about the future and are inherently uncertain, and actual results, performance or achievements of Western and its subsidiaries may differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors. Such risks and other factors include, among others, risks involved in fluctuations in gold, copper and other commodity prices and currency exchange rates; the risks and uncertainties related to the Private Placement not being completed in the event that the conditions precedent thereto (including receipt of requisite regulatory approvals) are not satisfied; uncertainties related to raising sufficient financing in a timely manner and on acceptable terms; and other risks and uncertainties disclosed in Western&#8217;s AIF and Form 40-F, and other information released by Western and filed with the applicable regulatory agencies.</em></p>  <p align="justify"><em>Western&#8217;s forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs, expectations and opinions of management on the date the statements are made, and Western does not assume, and expressly disclaims, any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by applicable securities legislation. For the reasons set forth above, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.</em></p>  <p> </p><p ></p></body></html>
