Certain information contained or incorporated by reference in this presentation, including any information as to our strategy, projects,plans or future financial or operating performance, constitutes "forward-looking statements”. All statements, other than statements ofhistorical fact, are forward-looking statements. The words “believe”, "expect", “anticipate”, “contemplate”, “target”, “plan”, “intend”,“continue”, “budget”, “estimate”, “may”, “will”, “schedule” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Forward-lookingstatements are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by the company, areinherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. Known and unknown factors couldcause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limitedto: fluctuations in the spot and forward price of gold, copper or certain other commodities (such as silver, diesel fuel and electricity);changes in national and local government legislation, taxation, controls or regulations and/or changes in the administration of laws,policies and practices, expropriation or nationalization of property and political or economic developments in Canada, the United States,Zambia and other jurisdictions in which the Company does or may carry on business in the future; failure to comply with environmentaland health and safety laws and regulations; timing of receipt of, or failure to comply with, necessary permits and approvals; diminishingquantities or grades of reserves; increased costs, delays, suspensions and technical challenges associated with the construction of capitalprojects; the impact of global liquidity and credit availability on the timing of cash flows and the values of assets and liabilities based onprojected future cash flows; adverse changes in our credit rating; the impact of inflation; operating or technical difficulties in connectionwith mining or development activities; the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development; risk of loss due to acts of war,terrorism, sabotage and civil disturbances; fluctuations in the currency markets; changes in U.S. dollar interest rates; risks arising fromholding derivative instruments; litigation; contests over title to properties, particularly title to undeveloped properties, or over access towater, power and other required infrastructure; business opportunities that may be presented to, or pursued by, the company; our abilityto successfully integrate acquisitions or complete divestitures; employee relations; availability and increased costs associated with mininginputs and labor; and the organization of our previously held African gold operations and properties under a separate listed company. Inaddition, there are risks and hazards associated with the business of mineral exploration, development and mining, includingenvironmental hazards, industrial accidents, unusual or unexpected formations, pressures, cave-ins, flooding and gold bullion, coppercathode or gold or copper concentrate losses (and the risk of inadequate insurance, or inability to obtain insurance, to cover these risks).Many of these uncertainties and contingencies can affect our actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from thoseexpressed or implied in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, us. Readers are cautioned that forward-lookingstatements are not guarantees of future performance. All of the forward-looking statements made in this presentation are qualified bythese cautionary statements. Specific reference is made to the most recent Form 40-F/Annual Information Form on file with the SEC andCanadian provincial securities regulatory authorities for a discussion of some of the factors underlying forward-looking statements.

The company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of newinformation, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.
