Cautionary Statement

With the exception of historical matters, the matters discussed herein or in the exhibit furnished with this report made by or on behalf of the Company contain forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are sometimes identified by words such as "intends," "anticipates," "believes," "expects" and "hopes" and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from projected results. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from projections or estimates include, among others, precious metals prices, economic and market conditions and future drilling results, as well as other factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, and other filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Most of these factors are beyond the Company's ability to predict or control. Investors are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Except as otherwise required by applicable securities statutes or regulations, the Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update publicly these forward looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
