These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this presentation. Forward-looking statements are frequently, but not always, identified by words such as "expectsâ€, "anticipatesâ€, "believesâ€, “plansâ€, “projectsâ€, "intendsâ€, "estimatesâ€, “envisagesâ€, "potentialâ€, "possibleâ€, “strategyâ€, “goalsâ€, “objectivesâ€, or variations thereof or stating that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved, or the negative of any of these terms and similar expressions.
Forward-looking statements in this presentation relate to future events or future performance and reflect current estimates, predictions, expectations or beliefs regarding future events and include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to: (i) the Company’s future plans to acquire additional targets or mineral properties, including equity positions with partners; (ii) enter into joint venture, earn-in, royalty or streaming structure agreements; (iii) the disposition of any of the Company’s mineral properties; (iv) the Company achieving an income stream that would permit it to pay a dividend on its shares (v) the timing and amount of future exploration and expenditures and the possible results of such exploration; (vi) the estimated amount and grade of mineral resources at the Company’s projects; (vii) the Springpole PEA representing a viable development option for the Springpole project; (viii) construction of a mine at the Springpole project and related actions, including dewatering activities; (ix) estimates of the capital costs of constructing mine facilities and bringing a mine into production, of sustaining capital and the duration of financing payback periods related to the Springpole project; (x) the estimated amount of future production, both produced and metal recovered, from the Springpole project; (xi) life of mine estimates and estimates of operating costs and total costs, net cash flow, net present value and economic returns from an operating mine constructed at the Springpole project; (xii) the advancement of permitting activities and applications related to the Springpole project; and (xiii) a pre-feasibility study for the Springpole project. All forward-looking statements are based on First Mining's or its consultants' current beliefs as well as various assumptions made by them and information currently available to them.Â
By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, and risks exist that estimates, forecasts, projections and other forward-looking statements will not be achieved or that assumptions do not reflect future experience. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements as a number of important factors could cause the actual outcomes to differ materially from the beliefs, plans, objectives, expectations, anticipations, estimates assumptions and intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements. These risk factors may be generally stated as the risk that the assumptions and estimates expressed above do not occur as forecast, but specifically include, without limitation: (i) the risk that the Company will not be successful in completing additional acquisitions; (ii) risks relating to the results of exploration activities; (iii) risks relating to the ability of the Company to enter into joint venture, earn-in, royalty or streaming structure agreements, or to dispose of its mineral properties; (iv) developments in world metals markets; (v) risks relating to fluctuations in the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar; (vi) availability of necessary financing and any increases in financing costs or adverse changes to the terms of available financing, if any; (vii) changes in regulations applying to the development, operation, and closure of mining operations from what currently exists; (viii) the effects of competition in the markets in which First Mining operates; (ix) operational and infrastructure risks; (x) risks relating to variations in the mineral content within the material identified as mineral resources from that predicted; (xi) increases in estimated capital and operating costs or unanticipated costs with respect to any of the Company’s mineral projects (xii) difficulties attracting the necessary work force; (xiii) risks relating to receipt of permits and regulatory approvals; (xiv) delays in stakeholder negotiations (including negotiations with affected First Nation groups); (xv) tax rates or royalties being greater than assumed; (xvi) changes in development or mining plans due to changes in logistical, technical or other factors; (xvii) changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined (xviii) management’s discretion to alter the Company’s short and long term business plans; and (xix) the additional risks described in First Mining's Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities under the Company’s SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com, and in First Mining’s Annual Report on Form 40-F filed with the SEC on EDGAR.
