Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements.

“should”, “will”, “intend”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect” and similar expressions, as
they relate to the Company, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements used in this Presentation include, but may not be limited to, statements regarding the Company’s
production forecast including ounces produced and grade assumptions; the operating costs and all-in cash
cost for fiscal 2015; exploration programs and their results; closing of the announced financing, exercise of
the over-allotment option and the use of said proceeds. Investors are cautioned that forward-looking
statements are based on the opinions, assumptions and estimates of management considered reasonable at
the date the statements are made such as, without limitation, opinion, assumptions and estimates of
management regarding the Company’s business, its ability to increase its production capacity and decrease
its production cost. Such opinions, assumptions and estimates, are inherently subject to a variety of risks
and uncertainties and other known and unknown factors that could cause actual events or results to differ
materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. These factors are discussed in length in
the Company's annual Management's Discussion and Analysis and Annual Information Form for the year
ended April 30, 2014. and the Company’s Management's Discussion and Analysis for the interim period
ended October 31, 2014 filed with the securities regulatory authorities in certain provinces of Canada and
available at www.sedar.com.
Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should assumptions underlying the forward-looking
statements prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as intended, planned,
anticipated, believed, estimated or expected. Although the Company has attempted to identify important risks, uncertainties
and factors which could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be others that cause results not to be as
anticipated, estimated or intended. The Company does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update these
forward-looking statements except as otherwise required by applicable law.
