These forward-looking statements are not based on historical facts, but rather on current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from the future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such risks may include, without limitation: risks and uncertainties relating to foreign currency fluctuations; risks inherent in mining including environmental hazards, unusual or unexpected geological formations, ground control problems and flooding; risks associated with the estimation of mineral resources and reserves and the geology, grade and continuity of mineral deposits; the possibility that future exploration, development or mining results will not be consistent with the Company’s expectations; the potential for and effects of labor disputes or other unanticipated difficulties with or shortages of labor or interruptions in production; actual ore mined varying from estimates of grade, tonnage, dilution and metallurgical and other characteristics; the inherent uncertainty of production and cost estimates and the potential for unexpected costs and expenses; and commodity price fluctuations.
