Forward-looking statements relate to future events or the anticipated performance of the Company and reflect
management’s expectations or beliefs regarding such future events and anticipated performance. In certain
cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "plans", "expects", "is expected",
"budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "anticipates" 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 words or comparable terminology. By their very
nature forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may
cause the actual performance of the Company to be materially different from any anticipated performance
expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ from these forward-looking statements include risks
related to failure to define mineral resources, to convert estimated mineral resources to reserves, the grade and
recovery of ore which is mined varying from estimates, future prices of gold and other commodities, capital and
operating costs varying significantly from estimates, political risks arising from operating in Brazil, uncertainties
relating to the availability and costs and availability of financing needed in the future, changes in equity
markets, inflation, changes in exchange rates, fluctuations in commodity prices, delays in the development of
projects, conclusions of economic evaluations, changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined,
uninsured risks and other risks involved in the mineral exploration and development industry.
Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual performance to
differ materially from that described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause its
performance not to be as anticipated. 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. These
forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this presentation and the Company does not intend,
and does not assume any obligation, to update these forward-looking statements.
Qualified Person - Murray Paterson, P.Geo, Vice President Exploration and Development for Lago Dourado
Minerals Ltd, is the Qualified Person, within the meaning of NI 43-101,who reviewed the technical data in this
presentation.
