The information set forth in this Current Report on Form 8-K is “furnished” and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, whether made before or after the date hereof and regardless of any general incorporation language in such filings, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.  This Item 7.01 on Form 8-K will not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any information in the Current Report that is required to be disclosed solely by Regulation FD.

 

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures; Forward-looking statements

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K and the Technical Exploration Report may contain forward‐looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “projects,” “expects,” “may,” “goal,” “estimates,” “should,” “plans,” “targets,” “intends,” “could,” or “anticipates,” or the negative thereof, or other variations thereon, or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy or objectives. Forward-looking statements relate to anticipated or


expected events, activities, trends or results from operations. Because forward-looking statements relate to matters that have not yet occurred, these statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties.  The forward-looking statements contained in the Technical Exploration Report speak only as of the date of the material, and the Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to report any updates or revisions to the Technical Exploration Report, as this report was not prepared at the request, or on behalf, of the Company.  Certain factors may cause results to differ materially from those anticipated by some of the statements made in the Technical Exploration Report.  Please carefully review our filings with the SEC as we have identified many risk factors that impact our business plan. Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosures in our Forms 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K and other filings with the SEC, which can be electronically accessed from our website or the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov/.

 

The estimates of recoverable resources and related information contained in the Technical Exploration Report are not believed by the Company to comply with the SEC Mining Industry Disclosures.
