CAUTIONARY STATEMENT AND FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
The decision to continue with the advancement of the Madsen Mine restart and the Company's operations and plans with respect thereto, as described herein (the“Madsen Mine Restart”), are based on economic models prepared by the Company in conjunction with management's knowledge of the property and the existing estimate of indicated and inferred mineral resources on the property set out in the report entitled,“Independent NI 43-101 Technical Report and Updated Mineral Resource Estimate for the PureGold Mine, Canada”, with an effective date of July 31, 2022, as amended on April 24, 2024, a copy of which is available on SEDAR+ at . The Madsen Mine Restart is not based on a preliminary economic assessment, a pre-feasibility study or a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability. Accordingly, there is increased uncertainty and economic and technical risks of failure associated with the Madsen Mine Restart, in particular: the risk that mineral grades will be lower than expected; the risk that additional ongoing mining operations are more difficult or more expensive than expected; and the risk that production and economic variables may vary considerably, due to the absence of a detailed economic and technical analysis undertaken in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.
