Technical Review Of The Hope Bay Gold Project, West Kitikmeot
Nunavut Territory, Canada (Revised) dated June 28, 2006 |
CAUTIONARY NOTE TO UNITED STATES INVESTORS
National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (NI 43-101) is a rule
developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators which establishes standards for all public
disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects.
Unless otherwise indicated, all mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates in the material
change report and technical review attached as exhibits hereto (the Exhibits) have been prepared
in accordance with NI 43-101 and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum
Classification System. These standards differ significantly from the requirements of the United
States Securities and Exchange Commissions (the SEC).
Without limiting the foregoing, the Exhibits use the terms indicated and inferred resources.
United States investors are advised that, while such terms are recognized and required by Canadian
securities laws, the SEC does not recognize them. Under United States standards, mineralization may
not be classified as a reserve unless the determination has been made that the mineralization
could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is
made. United States investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of measured or
indicated resources will ever be converted into reserves. Further, inferred resources have a
great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or
economically. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of the inferred resources will ever be
upgraded to a higher category. Therefore, United States investors are also cautioned not to assume
that all or any part of the inferred resources exist, or that they can be mined legally or
economically. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred resources may not form the basis of
feasibility or pre-feasibility studies except in limited cases. Disclosure of contained ounces is
permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to
report mineralization that does not constitute reserves as in place tonnage and grade without
reference to unit measures. Accordingly, information concerning descriptions of mineralization,
mineral resources and mineral reserves contained in the Exhibits may not be comparable to
information made public by United States companies subject to the reporting and disclosure
requirements of the SEC.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements included herein, including those that express managements expectations or
estimates of our future performance, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of
the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements about mineral
reserves and resources may also be deemed to constitute forward-looking statements to the extent
they involve estimates, based on certain assumptions, of mineralization that may be encountered if
a deposit were to be developed and mined. Any statements that express or involve discussions with
respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or
future events or performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases such as expects,
anticipates, plans, projects, estimates, assumes, intends, strategy, goals,
objectives, potential, target or variations thereof or stating that certain actions, events
or results may, could, would, might or will be taken, occur or be achieved, or the
negative of any of these terms and similar expressions) are not statements of historical fact and
may be forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and
other factors that could cause the actual events or results to differ from those expressed or
implied by the forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, those risk set forth in
the Companys annual report on Form 40-F for the year ended December 31, 2005, under the heading
Risk Factors. The Companys forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs, expectations and
opinions of management on the date the statements are made, and the Company does not assume any
obligation to update forward-looking statements if circumstances or managements beliefs,
expectations or opinions should change. For the reasons set forth above, investors should not place
undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
