Under SEC Industry Guide 7&#160;standards, a &#8220;final&#8221; or &#8220;bankable&#8221; feasibility study is required to report reserves, the three-year historical average metal price is used in any reserve or cash flow analysis to designate reserves, and the primary environmental analysis or report must be filed with the appropriate governmental authority.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:12pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;"><font style="visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:12pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">In addition, the terms &#8220;mineral resource&#8221;, &#8220;measured mineral resource&#8221;, &#8220;indicated mineral resource&#8221; and &#8220;inferred mineral resource&#8221; are defined in and required to be disclosed by NI&#160;43-101; however, these terms are not defined terms under SEC Industry Guide 7 and are normally not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of a mineral deposit in these categories will ever be converted into reserves. &#8220;Inferred mineral resources&#8221; have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic, technical and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all, or any part, of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. 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 exists or is economically, technically or legally mineable. Disclosure of &#8220;contained ounces&#8221; in a resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute &#8220;reserves&#8221; by SEC standards as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit&#160;measures.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:12pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;"><font style="visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:12pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">Accordingly, information contained in this Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein contain descriptions of our mineral deposits that may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S.&#160;companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements under the United&#160;States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.<b style="font-weight:bold;">&#160;</b></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:12pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;"><font style="visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:12pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">The term &#8220;mineralized material&#8221; as used in the annual report on Form 10-K, although permissible under SEC Industry Guide 7, does not indicate &#8220;reserves&#8221; by SEC Industry Guide 7 standards. &#160;We cannot be certain that any part of the mineralized material will ever be confirmed or converted into SEC Industry Guide 7 compliant &#8220;reserves&#8221;. &#160;Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of the mineralized material will ever be confirmed or converted into reserves or that mineralized material can be economically or legally extracted.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:12pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;"><font style="visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:12pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;"><a name="_Toc483580033"></a>The SEC has adopted amendments to its disclosure rules to modernize the mineral property disclosure requirements for issuers whose securities are registered with the SEC.

There can be no assurance that the mining, comminution and gold recovery processes (including ore sorting), gold production rates, revenue, and capital and operating costs including taxes and royalties will not vary unfavorably from the estimates and assumptions included in such feasibility study.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:12pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;"><font style="visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:12pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;"><font style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Mt Todd requires substantial capital investment and we may be unable to raise sufficient capital on favorable terms or at all. </font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:12pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;"><font style="visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:12pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">The construction and operation of Mt Todd will require significant capital. Our ability to raise sufficient capital and/or secure a development partner on satisfactory terms, if at all, will depend on several factors, including a favorable feasibility study, acquisition of the requisite permits, macroeconomic conditions, and future gold prices. Uncontrollable factors or other factors such as lower gold prices, unanticipated operating or permitting challenges, perception of environmental impact, or illiquidity in the debt or equity markets, including the cost of capital and other conditions of financing arrangements that impose restrictive covenants and security interests that may affect the Company&#8217;s ability to operate as intended, maintain ownership of its assets and ultimately its ability to continue as a going concern, could impede our ability to finance Mt Todd on acceptable terms, or at all.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:12pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;"><font style="visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:12pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;"><font style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</font></p></div><div style="clear:both;display:table;margin-bottom:30pt;min-height:7.9pt;width:100%;"><div style="display:table-cell;vertical-align:bottom;width:100%;"><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:12pt;text-align:center;margin:0pt;">4</p></div></div></div><hr style="background-color:#000000;clear:both;color:#000000;height:2pt;line-height:0;margin-bottom:30pt;margin-left:11.76%;margin-right:11.76%;margin-top:30pt;page-break-after:always;width:76.47%;border-width:0;"><div style="max-width:100%;padding-left:11.76%;padding-right:11.76%;position:relative;"><div style="clear:both;max-width:100%;position:relative;"><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:12pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;"><font style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">If we decide to construct the mine at Mt Todd, we will be assuming certain substantial reclamation obligations resulting in a material financial obligation. </font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:12pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;"><font style="visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:12pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">The Mt Todd site was not reclaimed when the original mine closed.

In addition, the regulatory authorities may increase reclamation and bonding requirements from time to time. The satisfaction of these bonding requirements and continuing or future reclamation obligations will require a significant amount of capital. </p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:12pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;"><font style="visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:12pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;"><font style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">We may not be able to get the required permits to begin construction at Mt Todd in a timely manner or at all. </font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:12pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;"><font style="visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:12pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">Any delay in acquiring the requisite permits, or failure to receive required governmental approvals could delay or prevent the start of construction of Mt Todd.

Some of our competitors are much larger, established companies with greater financial and technical resources than ours. We compete with other companies for attractive mining properties, for capital, for equipment and supplies, for outside services and for qualified managerial and technical employees. Access to financing, equipment, supplies, skilled labor and other resources may also be affected by competition from non-mining related commercial sectors. If we are unable to raise sufficient capital, we will be unable to execute exploration and development programs or such programs may be reduced in scope.

A U.S. shareholder who makes a QEF Election generally must report on a current basis its share of the net capital gain and ordinary earnings for any year in which the Company is PFIC, whether or not the Company distributes any amounts to its shareholders. U.S. shareholders should be aware that there can be no assurance that the Company will satisfy record keeping requirements that apply to a QEF Election, or that the Company will supply U.S. shareholders with information that such U.S. shareholders require to report under the QEF Election rules, in event that the Company is a PFIC and a U.S. shareholder wishes to make a QEF Election. Thus, U.S. shareholders may not be able to make a QEF Election with respect to their Common Shares.

Feasibility studies are the most detailed studies and reflect a higher level of confidence in the estimated production rates, and capital and operating costs. Generally accepted levels of confidence are plus or minus 15% for feasibility studies, plus or minus 25-30% for preliminary feasibility studies and plus or minus 35-40% for preliminary economic assessments. Under S-K 1300, in an initial assessment that includes a cash flow analysis, operating and capital cost estimates must have an accuracy level of at least approximately &#177;50% and a contingency level of no greater than 25%, in a pre-feasibility study, operating and capital cost estimates must, at a minimum, have an accuracy level of approximately &#177;25% and a contingency range not exceeding 15%, and in a feasibility study operating and capital cost estimates must, at a minimum, have an accuracy level of approximately &#177;15% and a contingency range not exceeding 10%. These thresholds reflect the levels of confidence that exist at the time the study is completed. Subsequent changes to metal prices, foreign exchange rates (if applicable), reclamation requirements, operating and capital costs may cause actual results of economic viability to differ materially from these estimates. Results of subsequent Mt Todd prefeasibility or final feasibility studies may be less favorable than the current prefeasibility study.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:12pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;"><font style="visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</font></p></div><div style="clear:both;display:table;margin-bottom:30pt;min-height:7.9pt;width:100%;"><div style="display:table-cell;vertical-align:bottom;width:100%;"><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:12pt;text-align:center;margin:0pt;">12</p></div></div></div><hr style="background-color:#000000;clear:both;color:#000000;height:2pt;line-height:0;margin-bottom:30pt;margin-left:11.76%;margin-right:11.76%;margin-top:30pt;page-break-after:always;width:76.47%;border-width:0;"><div style="max-width:100%;padding-left:11.76%;padding-right:11.76%;position:relative;"><div style="clear:both;max-width:100%;position:relative;"><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:12pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;"><font style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Mining companies are increasingly required to consider and provide benefits to the communities and countries in which they operate, and are subject to extensive environmental, health and safety laws and regulations. </font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:12pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;"><font style="visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:12pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">As a result of public concern about the real or perceived detrimental effects of economic globalization and global climate impacts, businesses in general and the mining industry in particular face increasing public scrutiny of their activities.

The nature of these risks is such that liabilities might exceed any liability insurance policy limits. It is also possible that the liabilities and hazards might not be insurable, or, we could elect not to be insured against such liabilities due to high premium costs or other reasons, or our insurance for a particular event or circumstance might be insufficient, in which event we could incur significant costs that could have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and corporate reputation.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:12pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;"><font style="visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:12pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;"><font style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:12pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;"><font style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Regulations and pending legislation involving climate change could result in increased operating costs. </font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:12pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;"><font style="visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:12pt;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">Gold production is energy intensive, resulting in a significant carbon footprint.

The Company is not required to provide disclosure on its mineral properties under the new rules until its 10-K for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2021, subject to certain exceptions which may require compliance earlier. The Company currently reports mineral resources and reserves in compliance with NI 43-101. Because the Company files its reports with the SEC on U.S. domestic forms, under the new rules, the Company will be required to comply with the new SEC mining property disclosure requirements and not make disclosure in accordance with NI 43-101 in the reports it files with the SEC. This will require the preparation of two separate technical reports under the two reporting regimes and will increase costs to the Company going forward. Further, while the Company currently utilizes its reports as filed with the SEC in meeting its reporting obligations in Canada, since its future reports have mining property disclosure that is not NI 43-101 compliant, the Company will likely have to prepare separate reports or a supplemental NI 43-101 mining property report to meet its reporting obligations in Canada.
