CAUTIONARY NOTES

Forward-looking Statements and Cautionary Notes

Forward-looking Statements

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information: Except for statements of historical fact relating to Gold X Mining Corp. (the “Company” or “Gold X”), certain information contained in this presentation constitutes “forward-looking information” under Canadian and U.S. securities legislation. Forward-looking information includes, but is not limited to, statements with respect to the potential of the Company’s properties; the future price of gold; success of exploration activities; costs and timing of future exploration and development; the estimation of mineral resources; conclusions of economic evaluations; requirements for additional capital; and other statements relating to the financial and business prospects of the Company. Generally, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “plans,” “expects,” or “does not expect,” “is expected”, “budget,” “scheduled,” “estimates,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “anticipates,” or “does not anticipate,” “believes,” or variations of such words and phrases. Forward- looking information is based on the reasonable assumptions, estimates, analysis and opinions of the management of the Company made in light of its experience and its perception

  • f trends, current conditions and expected developments, as well as other factors that the management of the Company believes to be relevant and reasonable in the circumstances

at the date that such statements are made. Forward-looking information is inherently subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information, including but not limited to risks related to: the Company’s goal of creating shareholder value by concentrating on the development of the Toroparu Gold Project, believing that it has the potential to contain economic gold deposits; the Company’s assessment of future plans for the Upper Puruni property; managements’ economic outlook regarding future trends; the Company’s exploration budget for the Upper Puruni property, and in particular, the availability of skilled labor, timing and the amount of the expected budget; the Company’s ability to meet its working capital needs at the current level in the short term; expectations with respect to raising capital; sensitivity analysis on financial instruments may vary from the amounts disclosed; and government regulation and environmental liability, as well as those risk factors discussed or referred to in the Company’s continuous disclosure filings with the securities regulatory authorities in Canada available at www.sedar.com. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking information, other factors could also cause materially different results. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information. The forward-looking information contained herein is presented for the purpose of assisting investors in understanding the Company’s expected financial and operational performance and the Company’s plans and objectives and may not be appropriate for other purposes. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking information, except in accordance with applicable securities laws. Preliminary Economic Assessment Report The Preliminary Economic Assessment, prepared by SRK Consulting (U.S.) Inc. with an effective date of June 11, 2019, is entitled “Preliminary Economic Assessment Report, Toroparu Gold Project, Upper Puruni River Area, Guyana”. PEA economics were calculated using a base case of US$1,300/oz gold, US$16/oz silver and US$3.00/lb. copper. The PEA Study has been filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. . The PEA Study has been filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. The scientific and technical data pertaining to disclosure of the mineral resource estimates or economic information contained in the PEA in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Fernando Rodrigues, MMSAQ, a Qualified Persons under NI 43-101 who consents to the inclusion of his name in this release. Resource Estimates This document uses the terms “resources”, “measured resources”, “indicated resources” and “inferred resources”. United States investors are advised that, while measured resources, indicated resources and inferred resources are recognized and required by Canadian securities laws, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) does not recognize them. Under United States standards, mineralization may not be classified as a “reserve” unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is made. United States investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of measured or indicated resources will ever be converted into reserves. Further, inferred resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of the inferred resources will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Therefore, United States investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of the inferred resources exist, or that they can be mined legally or economically. Disclosure of “contained ounces” is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations, however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report “resources” as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures. Accordingly, information concerning descriptions of mineralization and resources contained in this release may not be comparable to information made public by United States companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the SEC. National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators, which established standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects. All resource estimates contained in this circular have been prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum Classification System.
