This announcement contains forward-looking statements, including “forward-looking
statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 and the

through streaming arrangements or pipeline financing, our ability to service our Bond
Instruments (High Yield Bonds and Convertible Bonds), our ability to achieve steady state
production at the Blitz project and the anticipated benefits and synergies of our acquisitions
are necessarily estimates reflecting the best judgement of our senior management and involve
a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are
