Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Concerning Resource Estimate
The resource estimates in this document were prepared in accordance with NI 43-101, adopted by the Canadian Securities  Administrators. The requirements of NI 43-101 differ significantly from the requirements of the United States Securities and  Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). We use the terms “measured”, “indicated” and “inferred” resources. Although these  terms are recognized and required in Canada, the SEC does not recognize them. The SEC permits U.S. mining companies, in their filings with  the SEC, to disclose only those mineral deposits that constitute “reserves”. Under United States standards, mineralization may not be  classified as a reserve unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally extracted at the  time the determination is made. United States investors should not assume that all or any portion of a measured or indicated resource will  ever be converted into “reserves”. Further, “inferred resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and whether they  can be mined economically or legally, and United States investors should not assume that “inferred resources” exist or can be legally or economically mined, or that they will ever be upgraded to a higher category.
