Forward-­‐looking  statements  are  based  on  the  opinions  and  es4mates  of  management  as  of  the  date  such  statements  are  made  and  are  based  on  various  assump4ons,  such  as  approvals  from  the  Toronto  Stock  Exchange  and  the  Norwegian  Directorate  of  Mining  will  be  obtained  in  respect  of  the  Acquisi4on,  the  con4nued  poli4cal  stability  in  Northern  Ireland  and  Norway,  that  permits  required  for  the  Company’s  opera4ons  will  be  obtained  in  a  4mely  basis  in  order  to  permit  the  Company  to  proceed  on  schedule  with  its  planned  drilling  programs,  that  skilled  personnel  and  contractors  will  be  available  as  the  Company’s  opera4ons  con4nue  to  grow,  that  the  price  of  gold  will  be  at  levels  that  render  the  project  economic,  or  that  the  Company  will  be  able  to  con4nue  raising  the  necessary  capital  to  finance  its  opera4ons  and  realize  on  mineral  resource  es4mates.  

Forward‑looking  statements  involve  known  and  unknown  risks,  uncertain4es  and  other  factors  which  may  cause  the  actual  results,  performance  or  achievements  of  the  Company  to  be  materially  different  from  any  future  results,  performance  or  achievements  expressed  or  implied  by  the  forward‑looking  statements.  Such  factors  include,  among  others,  general  business,  economic,  compe44ve,  poli4cal  and  social  uncertain4es;  the  actual  results  of  current  explora4on  ac4vi4es;  actual  results  of  reclama4on  ac4vi4es;  conclusions  of  economic  evalua4ons;  changes  in  project  parameters  as  plans  con4nue  to  be  refined;  future  prices  of  metals;  possible  varia4ons  of  ore  grade  or  recovery  rates;  failure  of  plant,  equipment  or  processes  to  operate  as  an4cipated;  accidents,  labour  disputes  and  other  risks  of  the  mining  industry;  poli4cal  instability;  delays  in  obtaining  governmental  approvals  or  financing  or  in  the  comple4on  of  development  or  construc4on  ac4vi4es,  as  well  as  those  factors  discussed  in  the  sec4on  en4tled  “Risk  Factors”  in  the  Company’s  Annual  Informa4on  Form.
