Forward-Looking Statements: Cautionary Note
In compliance with Canadian and U.S. Continuous Disclosure Policies: Except for the statements of historical fact contained herein, certain of the information presented in this presentation constitutes "forward-
looking statements" as such term is used in applicable Canadian and U.S. laws. These statements relate to analyses and other information
that are based on forecasts of future results, estimates of amounts not yet determinable and assumptions of management. In particular,
statements concerning Mineral Resource estimates and corporate outlook should be viewed as forward-looking statements to the extent that
they involve estimates of the mineralization. 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, using words or phrases such as
"expects" or "does not expect", "is expected", "anticipates" or "does not anticipate", "plans, "estimates" or "intends", or stating that certain
actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved) are not statements of historical fact and
should be viewed as "forward-looking statements". Such forward-looking statements, including but not limited to, the amount of estimated
mineralization and the timing of and possible outcome of pending economic evaluations and other factors and events described in this
presentation, involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or
achievements of the Corporation to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements. Such risks and other factors include, among others, the timing of and actual results of exploration activities;
variations in the underlying assumptions associated with the estimation or realization of Mineral Resources and corporate outlook, the
conclusions of economic evaluations and possible variations in ore grade or recovery rates; costs and timing of the development of existing
and new deposits; availability of capital to fund exploration and development programs and the resulting dilution caused by the raising of
capital through the sale of shares; and other risks of the mining industry including without limitation those associated with the environment,
financing or in the completion of development or construction activities and the operational, economic, political and social risks inherent in
carrying on business in Kazakhstan. Although the Corporation has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions,
events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events
or 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 vary or differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place
undue reliance on forward-looking statements contained in this presentation.
Forward-looking statements are made based on management's beliefs, estimates and opinions on the date the statements are made and the
Corporation undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements if these beliefs, estimates and opinions or other circumstances
should change, except as required by applicable law.
