Forward
Looking Statements
This Form
8-K and other reports we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (collectively the “Filings”) contain or may contain forward looking
statements and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information
currently available to, our management as well as estimates and assumptions made
by our management. When used in the filings the words “anticipate”, “believe”,
“estimate”, “expect”, “future”, “intend”, “plan” or the negative of these terms
and similar expressions as they relate to us or our management identify forward
looking statements. Such statements reflect our current view with respect to
future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other
factors (including the risks contained in the Filings) relating to our industry
and our operations and results of operations.
The
following factors, among others, could cause or contribute to such material
differences: the ability to obtain the approval of the transaction by Capital
Gold Corporation stockholders; the ability to realize the expected synergies
resulting from the transaction in the amounts or in the timeframe anticipated;
the ability to integrate Capital Gold Corporation’s businesses into those of
Gammon Gold Inc. in a timely and cost-efficient manner; and the ability to
obtain governmental approvals of the transaction or to satisfy other conditions
to the transaction on the proposed terms and timeframe. Additional factors that
could cause Gammon Gold Inc. and Capital Gold Corporation’s results to differ
materially from those described in the forward-looking statements can be found
in the 2009 Annual Report on Form 40-F, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Annual
Report on Form 40-F/A, for Gammon Gold Inc. and the 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K of Capital Gold
Corporation filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Annual Report on Form 10-K/A and
the first quarter fiscal 2011 Quarterly Report of Capital Gold Corporation on
Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and available
at the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Internet site
(http://www.sec.gov).
Should
one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the
underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly
from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended or
planned. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward
looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of
activity, performance or achievements and, except as required by applicable law,
including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update
any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual
results.

PROTECTION OF THE SAFE HARBOR FOR “FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS” WITHIN THE
