Except for the statements of historical fact, certain information presented constitutes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Canadian and United States securities and other laws. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “expects”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “aims”, “anticipates”, “will”, “projects”, or “believes” or variations (including negative variations) of such words and phrases, or statements that certain actions, events, results or conditions “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved. By their very nature, forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. Forward looking statements are based on the opinions and estimates of management at the date the statements are made, as well as a number of assumptions made by, and information currently available to, F.D.G. Mining Inc. (FDG or the Company) concerning, among other things, anticipated geological formations, potential mineralization, quantities and grades, future plans for exploration and/or development, potential future production, drilling exposure, availability of capital, exploration budgets and timing of expenditures, all of which involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievement of FDG to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to vary materially from results anticipated by such forward looking statements include, among others, risks related to the Company’s limited operating history, current and future exploration activities, the Company’s need for significant additional capital, changes in government legislation, changes in ownership interest in a project, conclusions of economic evaluations, changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined, future prices and volatility of gold, silver and other metals, environmental risks and hazards, infrastructure and/or operating costs, labor and employment matters, availability of financing, permitting availability, government regulation, changes in equity markets, the uncertainties involved in interpreting geological data, the validity of the Company’s title to its properties, increases in costs and exchange rate fluctuations and the Company’s dependence on key personnel. All of the forward-looking statements made in this presentation are qualified by these cautionary statements and those made in our continuous disclosure filings with SEDAR in Canada (available at www.sedar.com) including our most recent Management’s Discussion and Analysis dated 29 January 2013 for the nine month period ended 30 November 2012.
Although FDG has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, there maybe other factors that causes results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. FDG disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, other than as required by applicable law. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements and trading in securities of FDG should be considered highly speculative.
