  SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT • Certain statements in this presentation constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Canadian securities legislation. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company, or other future events, including forecast production, earnings and cash flows, to be materially different from any future results, performances or achievements or other events expressly or implicitly predicted by such forward-looking statements. • Such risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to, factors associated with fluctuations in the market price of precious metals, mining industry risks, recent operating losses, uncertainty of title to properties, risk associated with foreign operations, environmental risks and hazards, proposed legislation affecting the mining industry, litigation, governmental regulation of the mining industry, properties without known mineable reserves, uncertainty as to calculations of reserves, mineral deposits and grades, requirement of additional financing, uninsured risks, risk of hedging strategies, competition, dependence on key management personnel, potential volatility of market price of the Company’s common shares, dilution and certain anti-takeover effects. Such information contained herein represents management’s best judgment as of the date hereof based on information currently available. The Company does not intend to update this information and disclaims any legal liability to the contrary. • Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimate of mineral resources may be materially affected by the inability to obtain required environmental and other regulatory approval, environmental or operating permits. The estimate may also be materially affected by global economic conditions such as the price of gold and silver, the price of oil and other commodities utilized in the production of gold and silver. Unknown geologic or hydrologic conditions or other unknown factors may materially affect the resource estimates. Net smelter returns and metallurgical recoveries at Sinchao have not been considered. • This document uses the terms "measured resources", 'indicated resources' and 'inferred resources'. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves. In addition, 'inferred resources' have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Investors are cautioned not to assume that part or all of an inferred resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable. • Mr. Les Tarnai, P.Eng., General Manager of Engineering, Invicta Mining Corp., is a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 with the ability and authority to verify the authenticity and validity of the data herein. Victor Jaramillo, P. Geo., of Discover Geological Consultants Inc. is an Independent Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and is responsible for the resource estimates. Guy Lokhorst, P. Eng., of The Lokhorst Group, is an Independent Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101 and is responsible for the review of the mining methodology, including the probable reserves and life of mine, for the Invicta Feasibility Study. Deepak Malhotra, PhD., MS in Metallurgical Engineering and PhD. in Mineral Economics, Independent Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101, of Resource Development Inc., reviewed the metallurgy for the Invicta project and developed the finalized process flow diagram for the Invicta Feasibility Study.
