CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING
INFORMATION: This news release includes certain “forward-looking
statements” under applicable Canadian securities legislation. Such
forward-looking statements include, without limitation: (i) the
results of the Kainantu Mine Definitive Feasibility Study, and the
Kainantu Preliminary Economic Assessment, including the Stage 3
Expansion, a new standalone 1.2 mtpa process plant and supporting
infrastructure; (ii) statements regarding the expansion of the mine
and development of any of the deposits; (iii) the Kainantu Stage 4
Expansion, operating two standalone process plants, larger surface
infrastructure and mining throughputs; and (iv) the potential
extended life of the Kainantu Mine.
All statements in this news release that address
events or developments that we expect to occur in the future are
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are
statements that are not historical facts and are generally,
although not always, identified by words such as “expect”, “plan”,
“anticipate”, “project”, “target”, “potential”, “schedule”,
“forecast”, “budget”, “estimate”, “intend” or “believe” and similar
expressions or their negative connotations, or that events or
conditions “will”, “would”, “may”, “could”, “should” or “might”
occur. All such forward-looking statements are based on the
opinions and estimates of management as of the date such statements
are made. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based on
estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are
beyond our ability to control, that may cause our actual results,
level of activity, performance or achievements to be materially
different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking
information. Such factors include, without limitation, Public
Health Crises, including the COVID-19 virus; changes in the price
of gold, silver, copper and other metals in the world markets;
fluctuations in the price and availability of infrastructure and
energy and other commodities; fluctuations in foreign currency
exchange rates; volatility in price of our common shares; inherent
risks associated with the mining industry, including problems
related to weather and climate in remote areas in which certain of
the Company’s operations are located; failure to achieve
production, cost and other estimates; risks and uncertainties
associated with exploration and development; uncertainties relating
to estimates of mineral resources including uncertainty that
mineral resources may never be converted into mineral reserves; the
Company’s ability to carry on current and future operations,
including development and exploration activities at the Arakompa,
Kora, Judd and other projects; the timing, extent, duration and
economic viability of such operations, including any mineral
resources or reserves identified thereby; the accuracy and
reliability of estimates, projections, forecasts, studies and
assessments; the Company’s ability to meet or achieve estimates,
projections and forecasts; the availability and cost of inputs; the
availability and costs of achieving the Stage 3 Expansion or the
Stage 4 Expansion; the ability of the Company to achieve the inputs
the price and market for outputs, including gold, silver and
copper; failures of information systems or information security
threats; political, economic and other risks associated with the
Company’s foreign operations; geopolitical events and other
uncertainties, such as the conflicts in Ukraine, Israel and
Palestine; compliance with various laws and regulatory requirements
to which the Company is subject to, including taxation; the ability
to obtain timely financing on reasonable terms when required; the
current and future social, economic and political conditions,
including relationship with the communities in Papua New Guinea and
other jurisdictions it operates; other assumptions and factors
generally associated with the mining industry; and the risks,
uncertainties and other factors referred to in the Company’s Annual
Information Form under the heading “Risk Factors”.
Estimates of mineral resources are also
forward-looking statements because they constitute projections,
based on certain estimates and assumptions, regarding the amount of
minerals that may be encountered in the future and/or the
anticipated economics of production. The estimation of mineral
resources and mineral reserves is inherently uncertain and involves
subjective judgments about many relevant factors. Mineral resources
that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic
viability. The accuracy of any such estimates is a function of the
quantity and quality of available data, and of the assumptions made
and judgments used in engineering and geological interpretation,
Forward-looking statements are not a guarantee of future
performance, and actual results and future events could materially
differ from those anticipated in such statements. Although we have
attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those contained in the
forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause
actual results to differ materially from those that are
anticipated, estimated, or intended. There can be no assurance that
such statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and
future events could differ materially from those anticipated in
such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue
reliance on forward-looking statements. The Company disclaims any
intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events
or otherwise, except as required by law.
