Certain statements contained in this news release using the terms "may", "expects to", "project", "estimate", "plans", and other terms
denoting future possibilities, are forward-looking statements in respect to various issues including upcoming events based upon
current expectations which involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially.

The
future conduct of the Company"s business and the feasibility of its mineral exploration properties are dependent upon a number of
factors and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to conduct its operations as contemplated and the accuracy of
these statements cannot be guaranteed as they are subject to a variety of risks that are beyond our ability to predict or control and
which may cause actual results to differ materially from the projections or estimates contained herein.

The risks include, but are not
limited to, the risks described in the above press release; those risks set out in the company"s disclosure documents and its annual,
quarterly and current reports; the fact that exploration activities seldom result in the discovery of a commercially viable mineral
resource and are also significant amounts of capital to undertake and the other risks associated with start-up mineral exploration
operations with insufficient liquidity, and no historical profitability.

The Company disclaims any obligation to revise any forward
looking statements as a result of information received after the fact or regarding future events.
Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX
Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this news release.
