Forward Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this news release, other than statements of historical fact, including, without limitation,
those concerning the economic outlook for the gold mining industry, expectations regarding gold prices, production,
cash costs and other operating results, return on equity, productivity improvements, growth prospects and outlook of the
Company and its affiliates’ operations, individually or in the aggregate, including the achievement of project
milestones, the completion and commencement of commercial operations of certain of the Company and its affiliates’
exploration and production projects and the completion of acquisitions and dispositions, the Company and its affiliates’
liquidity and capital resources, the results of financing transactions and capital expenditures and the outcome and
consequence of any potential or pending litigation or regulatory proceedings or environmental issues, are forward-
looking statements regarding the Company and its affiliates’ operations, economic performance and financial condition.

These forward-looking statements or forecasts involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that
may cause the Company and its affiliates’ actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from the
anticipated results, performance or achievements expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements. Although
the Company and its affiliates believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable,
no assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to have been correct. Accordingly, results and forecasts
could differ materially from those set out in the forward-looking statements as a result of, among other factors, changes
in economic, social and political and market conditions, success of business and operating initiative, changes in the
regulatory environment and other government actions, including environmental approval, fluctuations in gold prices and
exchange rates, the outcome of pending or future litigation proceedings and business and operational risk management
and other factors as determined in “Risk factors” in the Company’s Prospectus Supplement filed with the SEC on July
26, 2013. These factors are not necessarily all of the important factors that could cause the Company or its affiliates’
actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Other unknown or
unpredictable factors could also have material adverse effects on future results. Consequently, readers are cautioned not
to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates undertake any obligation to update publicly or release any revisions to
these forward-looking statements to events or circumstances after the date of the Offer to Purchase or to reflect the

forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or its affiliates or any person acting on its behalf are qualified
by the cautionary statements herein.
