CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD – LOOKING INFORMATION
This MD&A contains or incorporates by reference “forward-looking statements” (also referred to as “forward-looking
information”) within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation. Forward-looking statements are
provided for the purpose of providing information about management's current expectations and plans and allowing
investors and others to get a better understanding of the Company’s operating environment. All statements, other
than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. In this MD&A, forward-looking statements
include, but are not limited to statements regarding the Company’s future results and are necessarily based upon
a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by the Company at this time, are
inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies that may
cause the Company's actual financial results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from those
expressed or implied herein. Some of the material factors or assumptions used to develop forward-looking
statements include, without limitation, the uncertainties associated with: regulatory and permitting considerations,
financing of the Company’s acquisitions and other activities, exploration, development and operation of mining
properties and the overall impact of misjudgments made in good faith in the course of preparing forward-looking
information. Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors including
those set out below, that may never materialize, prove incorrect or materialize other than as currently contemplated
which could cause the Company’s results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-
looking statements. 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, identified
by words or phrases such as "expects", "is expected", "anticipates", "believes", "plans", "projects", "estimates",
"assumes", "intends", "strategy", "goals", "objectives", "potential", "possible" or variations thereof or stating that
certain actions, events, conditions or results "may", "could", "would", "should", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or
be achieved, or the negative of any of these terms and similar expressions) are not statements of fact and may be
forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others: risks related to: exploration and development
activities at the Company’s projects, and factors relating to whether or not mineralization extraction will be
commercially viable at the Rowan Property; risks related to the ongoing commercial production at the Madsen
Mine;; risks related to mining operations and the hazards and risks normally encountered in the exploration,
development and production of minerals, such as unusual and unexpected geological formations, rock falls, seismic
activity, flooding and other conditions involved in the extraction and removal of materials; uncertainties regarding
regulatory matters, including obtaining permits and complying with laws and regulations governing exploration,
development, production, taxes, labour standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use,
environmental protection, site safety and other matters, and the potential for existing laws and regulations to be
amended or more stringently implemented by the relevant authorities; uncertainties regarding estimating mineral
resources, which estimates may require revision (either up or down) based on actual production experience; risks
relating to fluctuating metals prices and the ability to operate the Company’s projects at a profit in the event of
declining metals prices and the need to reassess feasibility of a particular project that estimated mineral resources
will be recovered or that they will be recovered at the rates estimated; risks related to title to the Company’s
properties, including the risk that the Company’s title may be challenged or impugned by third parties; the ability of
the Company to access necessary resources, including mining equipment and crews, on a timely basis and at
reasonable cost; risks related to high inflation, interest rate increases and price volatility; geopolitical risks and
tariffs; competition within the mining industry for the discovery and acquisition of properties from other mining
companies; risks related to the stage of the Company’s development, including risks relating to limited financial
resources, limited availability of additional financing and potential dilution to existing shareholders; reliance on its
management and key personnel; inability to obtain adequate or any insurance; currently unprofitable operations;
risks regarding the ability of the Company and its management to manage growth; potential conflicts of interest;
risks related to the restrictive covenants contained in the Nebari Credit Facility and the ability for the Company to
obtain additional financing; risks relating to being able to service the Company’s current debt obligations under the
gold-linked notes ( the “Gold-Linked Notes”) and Nebari Credit Facility; and all those risks identified in the section
entitled “Risk Factors” in this MD&A and other risk factors identified in the AIF.
The foregoing list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect any of the Company’s forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are statements about the future and are inherently uncertain, and the Company’s actual
achievements or other future events or conditions may differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking

statements due to a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors, including, without limitation, those referred to
in this MD&A.
Investors are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and investors should not infer that
there has been no change in the Company’s affairs since the date of this MD&A that would warrant any modification
of any forward-looking statement made in this document, other documents periodically filed with or furnished to the
relevant securities regulators or documents presented on the Company’s website. All subsequent written and oral
forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in
