Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This news release includes certain statements that may be deemed to be “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation or “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the US Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (collectively, “forward-looking statements”). All statements in this release, other than statements of historical facts, are forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the anticipated financial and other impacts of the Public Offering and Flow-Through Private Placement, the anticipated completion and expected timing for closing of the Public Offering and Flow-Through Private Placement, expected use of proceeds and receipt of regulatory approvals. Forward-looking statements are often, but not always, identified by the use of words such as "seek", "anticipate", "plan", "continue", "estimate", "expect", "may", "will", "project", "predict", "potential", "targeting", "intend", "could", "might", "should", "believe" and similar expressions. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions, which are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Company’s control and many of which, regarding future business decisions, are subject to change. Assumptions underlying the Company’s expectations regarding forward-looking statements contained in this news release include, amongst other things, that the Company will be able to raise sufficient equity under the Public Offering and/or Flow-Through Private Placement to support its intended use of proceeds and future growth; that the global financial markets and general economic conditions will be stable and conducive to equity financings of this nature and the business of the Company generally; and that the Company’s mineral projects will not experience any significant disruptions that would materially affect operations. Although MAG believes the expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: risks related to the Company’s ability to arrange financing under the Public Offering and/or Flow-Through Private Placement on favourable terms, if at all; general economic, market or business conditions; political risk, currency risk and capital cost inflation; volatility of the common shares in the capital of the Company and risks related to a change in the intended use of proceeds from the Public Offering and/or Flow-Through Private Placement. The reader is referred to the Company’s filings with the SEC and Canadian securities regulators for disclosure regarding these and other risk factors. There is no certainty that any forward-looking statement will come to pass, and investors should not place undue reliance upon forward-looking statements. Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosures in MAG's annual and quarterly reports and other public filings, accessible through the Internet at www.sedar.com and www.sec.gov.
