FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS: This press release contains forward-looking
statements, which address future events and conditions, which are subject
to various risks and uncertainties. Forward looking statements in this
press include that we will earn an interest in the Crescent Silver Mine,
and that we can build a senior silver-producing mining company based on
aggressive exploration and development of the highly-prospective current
land position at Crescent and through the acquisition of additional silver
interests. The Company's actual results and financial position could differ
materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a
result of numerous factors, some of which may be beyond the Company's
control. These factors include: results of exploration activities and
development of mineral properties, fluctuations in the marketplace for the
sale of minerals, the inability to implement corporate strategies, the
inability to obtain financing, currency fluctuations, general market and
industry conditions and other risks disclosed in the Company's filings with
Canadian Securities Regulators.
Forward-looking statements are based on the expectations and opinions of
the Company's management on the date the statements are made. The
assumptions used in the preparation of such statements, although considered
reasonable at the time of preparation, may prove to be imprecise and, as
such, undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements.
The Company expressly disclaims any intention or obligation to update or
revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise.
