2. Cautionary Note
Some of the statements contained in this presentation are forward-looking statements, such as estimates and
statements that describe future plans, objectives or goals, including words to the effect that Southern Arc
Minerals Inc. implies a stated condition or that it forecasts certain results could occur. Because forward-looking
statements address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and
uncertainties. Actual results relating to, among other things, reserves, resources, results of exploration,
reclamation and other post-closure costs, capital costs and mine production costs could differ materially from
those currently forecast in such statements by reason of factors such as changes in general economic conditions
and conditions in the financial markets, changes in demand and prices for the minerals, litigation, legislative,
environmental and other judicial, regulatory, technological and operational difficulties encountered in connection
with mining activities, labour relations matters, costs and changing foreign exchange rates. This list is not
exhaustive of the factors that may affect any of forward-looking statements. These and other factors should be
considered carefully and readers should not place undue reliance on Southern Arc Minerals Inc. statements.
Drilling information in this presentation has been compiled under the supervision of Southern Arc’s Executive
Vice President, Andrew Rowe B. App. Sc. Geology, MAusIMM. Mr. Rowe has over 18 years of international mineral
exploration experience throughout SE and Central Asia and Australia. During this time he has held such positions
as Chief Geologist – Feasibility Studies, Senior Geologist and Consulting Geologist. The technical information in
this document has also been reviewed by Southern Arc’s President & Chief Operating Officer, Dr. Mike Andrews,
PhD, FAusIMM, who has sufficient experience relevant to the style of mineralization under consideration and
qualifies as a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. All assaying of samples was undertaken
by the ITS laboratory in Jakarta. ITS is one of the world’s largest product and commodity testing, inspection and
certification organizations. The Jakarta laboratory is ISO 17025 accredited and employs a Laboratory Information
Management System (LIMS) for sample tracking, quality control and reporting.
