Cautionary Note
Certain statements contained in this presentation constitute forward-looking statements. Such
forward-looking statements involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and
other factors which may cause the actual results, performance of achievements of the
Corporation to be materially different from actual future results and achievements expressed or
implied by such forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance
on these forward-looking statements.
This presentation describes “Measured”, “Indicated” and/or “Inferred” Resources. U.S. investors
are advised that while such terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the
Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize them. “Inferred Resources” have a
great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and great uncertainty as to their economic
feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of any inferred resource will ever be
upgraded to a higher category. Exploration is an inherently risky proposition and investors are
advised that most exploration projects fail to identify economic resources.
The Corporation has at present not confirmed the economic viability of any resources at the
project. The company plans drilling programs and studies with the objective of confirmation of
Copper and Iron deposits and ultimately completing a feasibility study to demonstrate the
economics of the resources. Any historical estimates are not mineral reserves and do not have
demonstrated economic viability and should not be relied upon.
