    reflect the current expectations or beliefs of the Company based on information currently available to the Company.

    Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause the actual results of the

    TSX: ME2

    realized or substantially realized, there can be no assurance that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects

    on the Company. Factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from current expectations include,

    among other things, uncertainties relating to the availability and costs of financing needed in the future, changes in

    commodity prices, changes in equity markets, changes to regulations affecting the Company's activities, the uncertainties

    involved in interpreting exploration results and other geological data and the other risks involved in the mineral exploration

    industry. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made and, except as may be required by

    applicable securities laws, the Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statement,

    whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise. Although the Company believes that the

    assumptions inherent in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, forward-looking statements are not guarantees of

    future performance and accordingly undue reliance should not be put on such statements due to the inherent uncertainty

    therein.
