Some of the statements contained in the following material may be "forward‐looking statements." All statements, other than statements ofhistorical fact, that address activities, events or developments that Victory Nickel believes, expects or anticipates will or may occur in the futureare forward‐looking statements. Forward‐looking statements are often, but not always, identified by the use of words such as "seek,""anticipate," "believe," "plan," "estimate," "expect," and "intend" and statements that an event or result "may," "will," "can," "should,""could," or "might" occur or be achieved and other similar expressions. These forward‐looking statements reflect the current expectations orbeliefs of Victory Nickel based on information currently available to Victory Nickel. Forward‐looking statements are subject to a number of risksand uncertainties that may cause the actual results of Victory Nickel to differ materially from those discussed in the forward‐looking statements,and even if such actual results are realized or substantially realized, there can be no assurance that they will have the expected consequences to,or effects on Victory Nickel. Factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from current expectations include, among otherthings, failure to successfully complete intended financings, capital and other costs varying significantly from estimates, production rates varyingfrom estimates, changes in world copper and/or gold markets, changes in equity markets, uncertainties relating to the availability and costs offinancing needed in the future, equipment failure, unexpected geological conditions, imprecision in resource estimates, success of futuredevelopment initiatives, competition, operating performance of facilities, environmental and safety risks, delays in obtaining or failure to obtainnecessary permits and approvals from government authorities, and other development and operating risks. Any forward‐looking statementspeaks only as of the date on which it is made and, except as may be required by applicable securities laws, Victory Nickel disclaims any intent orobligation to update any forward‐looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise. AlthoughVictory Nickel believes that the assumptions inherent in the forward‐looking statements are reasonable, forward‐looking statements are notguarantees of future performance and accordingly undue reliance should not be put on such statements due to the inherent uncertainty therein.
