CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
Cautionary Statement Regarding Construction and Funding Risks
The estimated sources of capital through commercial production include the proposed Prepay Facility of up to US$120 million, which is subject to the negotiation and execution of definitive documentation, and equipment financing based on non-binding term sheets. The estimated sources of capital do not include any proceeds from the potential exercise of outstanding warrants. The exercise of warrants is at the discretion of the holders and depends on, among other things, the market price of the Company's common shares, and there can be no assurance that any warrants will be exercised. If these arrangements are not completed on the terms contemplated, or if construction costs exceed the go-forward capital obligation of approximately $990 million including, as a result of inflation, contractor performance under the JDS Energy & Mining Inc. agreement, supply chain delays for long-lead items or schedule slippage beyond the planned first gold pour in Q1 2029 and commercial production in H2 2029, the Company may be required to obtain additional financing, which may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and which may be restricted by the terms of the Senior Secured Notes.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Test Mining Not Supported by a Feasibility Study
Certain operations of the Company including current and prior test mining activities at the Tintic Project's Trixie test mine, have operated without the benefit of a feasibility study that defines mineral reserves, and demonstrates economic and technical viability. As a result, there is increased uncertainty of achieving any particular level of recovery of material or the cost of such recovery. The Company cautions that, historically, such projects have a much higher risk of economic and technical failure. There is no guarantee that commercial production will commence, continue as anticipated or at all or that anticipated production costs will be achieved.
Cautionary Statement to U.S. Investors
As a foreign private issuer under U.S. securities laws that files reports under the Canada-U.S. multijurisdictional disclosure system, the Company is permitted to prepare and report information regarding mineral properties, mineralization and estimates of mineral reserves and mineral resources, including the information in its technical reports, financial statements and MD&A, in accordance with Canadian reporting requirements, which are governed by NI 43-101. As such, such information concerning mineral properties, mineralization and estimates of mineral reserves and mineral resources, including the information in its technical reports, financial statements and MD&A, is not comparable to similar information made public by most companies subject to U.S. mineral property disclosure requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
Further to recent amendments, U.S. mineral property disclosure requirements (the "SEC Rules") are now governed by subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K under the U.S. Securities Act. Under the SEC Rules, the SEC now recognizes estimates of "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources." In addition, the SEC has amended its definitions of "proven mineral reserves" and "probable mineral reserves" to be "substantially similar" to the corresponding standards adopted by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum, adopted by the CIM Council ("CIM Standards"), which is the required definition standard adopted by NI 43-101. While the SEC will now recognize "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources", U.S. investors should not assume that any part or all of the mineralization in these categories will ever be converted into a higher category of mineral resources or into mineral reserves. Mineralization described using these terms has a greater amount of uncertainty as to its existence and feasibility than mineralization that has been characterized as reserves. Accordingly, U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that any measured mineral resources, indicated mineral resources, or inferred mineral resources that the Company reports are or will be economically or legally mineable. Further, "inferred mineral resources" have a greater amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically. Therefore, U.S. investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of the "inferred mineral resources" exist. Under NI 43-101, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies or economic studies except for preliminary economic assessments. While the above terms are "substantially similar" to CIM Standards, there are differences in the definitions under the SEC Rules and the CIM Standards. Accordingly, there is no assurance any mineral reserves or mineral resources that the Company may report as "proven mineral reserves", "probable mineral reserves", "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources" under NI 43-101 would be the same had the Company prepared the reserve or resource estimates under the SEC Rules.
Risks related to the development of the Cariboo Gold Project
The development of a new mining operation, including the construction of an underground mine, processing facilities, tailings storage infrastructure, access roads, power supply and other supporting infrastructure, is a complex and costly undertaking. The Cariboo Gold Project is in the construction stage and there is no certainty that it will be brought into commercial production within anticipated timelines, at anticipated costs, or at all. The results of the Cariboo Technical Report are based on a number of assumptions, including, among others, geological interpretations, estimated mineral resources and mineral reserves, metallurgical recoveries, construction schedules, capital and operating costs, labour and equipment availability, transportation and energy costs, regulatory requirements, and projected commodity prices. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and may prove to be inaccurate.
Actual results, costs and construction and development timelines may differ materially from those currently anticipated due to factors such as: unforeseen geological conditions; changes to mine plan optimization; equipment failures; shortages of skilled labour and contractors; increases in the cost of materials, equipment or energy; design modifications; delays related to permitting or receipt of government approvals; adverse weather or climate conditions; and community and/or Indigenous opposition. In addition, the development of mining projects often requires substantial capital expenditures, and delays or cost overruns may require the Company to seek additional financing, which may not be available on favorable terms or at all. If the Company is unable to complete construction and development of the Cariboo Gold Project on a timely and cost-effective basis, or if operating performance following commissioning is materially lower than expected, the project may fail to achieve anticipated economic results. Any such events could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
