Forward-Looking Information
This document may contain forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this document and Sierra
Rutile Limited (the “Company”) does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update these forward-looking statements, whether as a
result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required under applicable securities legislation.
Forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance and reflect Company management’s expectations or beliefs regarding
future events and future performance and include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the estimation of mineral reserves and
resources, the realization of mineral reserve estimates, the timing and amount of estimated future production, costs of production, capital
expenditures, success of mining operations, environmental risks, unanticipated reclamation expenses, title disputes or claims and limitations on
insurance coverage. In certain cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “expects” or “does not
expect”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate”, or “believes”, or variations
of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will be taken”, “occur” or “be
achieved” or the negative of these terms or comparable terminology. By their very nature forward-looking statements involve known and unknown
risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be
materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward looking statements. Such factors
include, among others, risks related to actual results of current exploration activities; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be
refined; future prices of mineral resources; possible variations in ore reserves, grade or recovery rates; accidents, labour disputes and other risks of
the mining industry; delays in obtaining governmental approvals or financing or in the completion of development or construction activities; as well
as those factors detailed from time to time in the Company's interim and annual reports. These risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors
could adversely affect the outcome and financial effects of the plans and events described herein.
Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those
described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or
intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ
materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward- looking statements.
