Forward-looking informat ion in t his present at ion includes, but is not limit ed t o, Aurania’ s company’ s obj ect ives, goals or fut ure plans, st at ement s, explorat ion result s, pot ent ial mineralizat ion, t he company’ s port folio, t reasury, management t eam and enhanced capit al market s profile, t he est imat ion of mineral resources, explorat ion and mine development plans, t iming of t he commencement of operat ions and est imat es of market condit ions. Fact ors t hat could cause act ual result s t o differ mat erially from such forward-looking informat ion include, but are not limit ed t o, failure or inabilit y t o complet e t he Transact ion on t he t erms as proposed, failure t o obt ain t he required approvals of t he Aurania’ s shareholders and regulat ors, failure t o ident ify mineral resources, failure t o convert est imat ed mineral resources t o reserves, t he inabilit y t o complet e a feasibilit y st udy which recommends a product ion decision, t he preliminary nat ure of met allurgical t est result s, delays in obt aining or failures t o obt ain required government al, regulat ory, environment al or ot her proj ect approvals, polit ical risks, inabilit y t o fulfill t he dut y t o accommodat e t he indigenous communit ies, uncert aint ies relat ing t o t he availabilit y and cost s of financing needed in t he fut ure, changes in equit y market s, inflat ion, changes in exchange rat es, fluct uat ions in commodit y prices, delays in t he development of proj ect s, capit al and operat ing cost s varying significant ly from est imat es and t he ot her risks involved in t he mineral explorat ion and development indust ry, and those risks set out in Aurania’ s public document s filed on S
