The Company cautions that the decision to commence and continue production at the Trixie test mine at the Tintic Project in the form of small scale underground mining and batch vat leaching without the benefit of a feasibility study, or reported mineral resources or mineral reserves, demonstrating economic and technical viability, and, as a result there may be increased uncertainty of achieving any particular level of recovery of material or the cost of such recovery.

There is no guarantee that production will continue as anticipated or at all or that anticipated production costs will be achieved.
