2. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Cautionary Statement
Certain information included in this presentation constitutes forward-looking statements, including any information as to our projects, plans and future
financial and operating performance. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. The words “expect”,
“believe”, “anticipate”, “will”, “intend”, “estimate”, “forecast”, “budget”, “schedule” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Forward-
looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of factors and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by management, are inherently
subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. Known and unknown factors could cause actual results to
differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.
Such factors include, but are not limited to: changes to current estimates of mineral reserves and resources; fluctuations in the price of gold; changes in
foreign exchange rates (particularly the Canadian dollar, Mexican peso and U.S. dollar); the impact of inflation; changes in our credit rating; any decision
to declare a quarterly dividend; employee relations; litigation; disruptions affecting operations; availability of and increased costs associated with mining
inputs and labor; development delays at the Young-Davidson mine; operating or technical difficulties in connection with mining or development activities;
inherent risks associated with mining and mineral processing; the risk that the Young-Davidson and El Chanate mines may not perform as planned;
uncertainty with the Company’s ability to secure capital to execute its business plans; the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development,
including the risks of obtaining necessary licenses and permits; contests over title to properties; changes in national and local government legislation in
Canada, Mexico and other jurisdictions in which the Company does or may carry on business in the future; risk of loss due to sabotage and civil
disturbances; the impact of global liquidity and credit availability and the values of assets and liabilities based on projected future cash flows; risks
arising from holding derivative instruments; business opportunities that may be pursued by the Company. Many of these uncertainties and contingencies
can affect our actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements made
by, or on behalf of, us. Readers are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. All of the forward-looking
statements made in this presentation are qualified by these cautionary statements. Specific reference is made to the most recent Form 40-F/Annual
Information Form on file with the SEC and Canadian provincial securities regulatory authorities for a discussion of some of the factors underlying
forward-looking statements.
The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.
Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Concerning Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources
This presentation uses the terms "measured," "indicated" and "inferred” resources. We advise investors that while those terms are recognized and
required by Canadian regulations, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize them. Under Canadian rules, estimates
of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies. United States investors are cautioned not to assume that all
or any part of measured or indicated mineral resources will ever be converted into mineral reserves. United States investors are also cautioned not to
assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable.
