Forward-looking Statements
This announcement may contain forward-looking statements. Often, but not always, forward looking statements can
generally be identified by the use of forward looking words such as ‘may’, ‘will’, ‘expect’, ‘intend’, ‘plan’, ‘estimate’,
‘anticipate’, ‘continue’, and ‘guidance’, or other similar words and may include, without limitation, statements regarding
plans, strategies and objectives of management, anticipated production or construction commencement dates and
expected costs or production outputs. Forward looking statements inherently involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors that may cause the Company’s actual results, performance and achievements to differ
materially from any future results, performance or achievements. Relevant factors may include, but are not limited to,
changes in commodity prices, foreign exchange fluctuations and general economic conditions, increased costs and
demand for production inputs, the speculative nature of exploration and project development, including the risks of
obtaining necessary licenses and permits and diminishing quantities or grades of reserves, political and social risks,
changes to the regulatory framework within which the Company operates or may in the future operate, environmental
conditions including extreme weather conditions, recruitment and retention of personnel, industrial relations issues and
litigation. Forward looking statements are based on the Company and its management’s good faith assumptions relating
to the financial, market, regulatory and other relevant environments that will exist and affect the Company’s business and
operations in the future. The Company does not give any assurance that the assumptions on which forward looking
statements are based will prove to be correct, or that the Company’s business or operations will not be affected in any
material manner by these or other factors not foreseen or foreseeable by the Company or management or beyond the
Company’s control. Although the Company attempts and has attempted to identify factors that would cause actual
actions, events or results to differ materially from those disclosed in forward looking statements, there may be other
factors that could cause actual results, performance, achievements or events not to be as anticipated, estimated or
intended, and many events are beyond the reasonable control of the Company. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not
to place undue reliance on forward looking statements. Forward looking statements in these materials speak only at the
date of issue. Subject to any continuing obligations under applicable law or any relevant stock exchange listing rules, in
providing this information the Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any of the forward-
looking statements or to advise of any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is
based. Neither the Australian Securities Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in policies
of the Australian Securities Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this announcement.
