Information and statements contained in this news release that
are not historical facts are "forward-looking information",
"financial outlooks" or "future oriented financial information"
(collectively, "forward-looking information") within the meaning of
applicable securities legislation that involve risks and
uncertainties relating, but not limited to Caledonia's current
expectations, intentions, plans, and beliefs. Forward-looking
information can often be identified by forward-looking words such
as "anticipate", "believe", "expect", "goal", "plan", "target",
"intend", "estimate", "could", "should", "may" and "will" or the
negative of these terms or similar words suggesting future
outcomes, or other expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives,
assumptions, intentions or statements about future events or
performance. Examples of forward-looking information in this news
release include: production guidance, estimates of future/targeted
production rates, and our plans and timing regarding further
exploration and drilling and development, construction plans,
financial and shareholders returns on investment projects. This
forward-looking information is based, in part, on assumptions and
factors that may change or prove to be incorrect, thus causing
actual results, performance or achievements to be materially
different from those expressed or implied by forward-looking
information. Such factors and assumptions include, but are not
limited to: failure to establish estimated resources and reserves,
the grade and recovery of ore which is mined varying from
estimates, success of future exploration and drilling programs,
reliability of drilling, sampling and assay data, assumptions
regarding the representativeness of mineralization being
inaccurate, success of planned metallurgical test-work, capital and
operating costs varying significantly from estimates, delays in
obtaining or failures to obtain required governmental,
environmental or other project approvals, inflation, changes in
exchange rates, fluctuations in commodity prices, delays in the
development of projects, the completion of construction projects,
the proposed benefits from construction projects and other
factors.
To the extent any forward-looking information herein constitutes
a financial outlook or future oriented financial information,
any such statement is made as of the date hereof and included
herein to provide prospective investors with an understanding of
the Company's plans and assumptions. Security holders, potential
security holders and other prospective investors are cautioned that
such information may not be appropriate for other purposes and
should be aware that these statements are subject to known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the
forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not
limited to: risks relating to estimates of mineral reserves and
mineral resources proving to be inaccurate, fluctuations in gold
price, risks and hazards associated with the business of mineral
exploration, development and mining, risks relating to the credit
worthiness or financial condition of suppliers, refiners,
contractors and other parties with whom the Company does business;
inadequate insurance, or inability to obtain insurance, to cover
these risks and hazards, employee relations; relationships with and
claims by local communities and indigenous populations; political
risk; risks related to natural disasters, terrorism, civil unrest,
public health concerns (including health epidemics or outbreaks of
communicable diseases such as the coronavirus (COVID-19));
availability and increasing costs associated with mining inputs and
labour; the speculative nature of mineral exploration and
development, including the risks of obtaining or maintaining
necessary licenses and permits, diminishing quantities or grades of
mineral reserves as mining occurs; global financial condition, the
actual results of current exploration activities, changes to
conclusions of economic evaluations, and changes in project
parameters to deal with unanticipated economic or other factors,
risks of increased capital and operating costs, environmental,
safety or regulatory risks, expropriation, the Company's title to
properties including ownership thereof, increased competition in
the mining industry for properties, equipment, qualified personnel
and their costs, risks relating to the uncertainty of timing of
events including targeted production rate increase, construction
activity and currency fluctuations. Security holders, potential
security holders and other prospective investors are cautioned that
the assumptions used in the preparation of such forward-looking
information, although considered reasonable at the time of
preparation, may prove to be imprecise and, accordingly, they
should not place undue reliance on such forward-looking
information. By its nature, forward-looking information involves
numerous assumptions, inherent risks and uncertainties, both
general and specific, that contribute to the possibility that the
predictions, forecasts, projections and various future events will
not occur. Caledonia undertakes no obligation to update publicly or
otherwise revise any forward-looking information whether as a
result of new information, future events or other such factors
which affect this information, except as required by law.
