    Forward Looking Statements

    Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information This presentation contains "forward looking information" within the meaning of applicable Canadian

    securities legislation. Forward looking information includes, but is not limited to, statements with respect to the future financial or operating performance of theCompany, its subsidiaries and its projects, statements regarding the potential acquisition of the Pulacayo property, the timing with respect to the completion of theproposed acquisition, the development of the Pulacayo project, statements regarding exploration prospects, and requirements for additional capital. Generally,forward looking information can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology 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 state that certainactions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will be taken", "occur" or "be achieved". Forward-looking information is subject to known andunknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements of the Company to be materiallydifferent from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information, including but not limited to: financing not being available at desired prices; generalbusiness, economic, competitive, political and social uncertainties; the actual results of current exploration activities; timing and availability of external financingon acceptable terms; conclusions of economic evaluations; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; future prices of mineral prices; failureof plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; accidents, labour disputes and other risks of the mining industry; and, delays in obtaininggovernmental approvals or required financing or in the completion of activities. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could

    cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated,estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially fromthose anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward looking information. The Company does not undertake toupdate any forward-looking information, except in accordance with applicablesecurities laws.

    Investors are advised that National Instrument 43-101* of the Canadian Securities Administrators requires that each category of mineral reserves and mineral

    resources be reported separately. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

    Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Concerning Estimates of Measured, Indicated or Inferred Resources

    The information presented uses the terms measured, indicated and inferred mineral resources. United States investors are advised that while such terms

    are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize these terms. Inferred mineral

    resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an

    inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. 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

    economicallyor legally mineable.
