Avidian Gold
This presentation (“Presentation”) contains forward-looking information that involves substantial known and unknown risks and uncertainties, most of which are beyond the control of Avidian Gold Corp. (“Avidian”). Forward-looking statements include estimates and statements that describe Avidian’s future plans, objectives or goals, including words to the effect that Avidian or its management expects a stated condition or result to occur. Forward-looking statements may be identified by such terms as “believes”, “anticipates”, “expects”, “estimates”, “may”, “could”, “would”, “will”, or “plan”. Since forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Although these statements are based on information currently available to Avidian, Avidian provides no assurance that actual results will meet management’s expectations. Risks, uncertainties and
information in this presentation includes, but is not limited to, Avidian’s objectives, goals or future plans, statements, exploration results, potential mineralization, Avidian’s portfolio, treasury, management team and enhanced capital markets profile, the proposed private placement, the timing of the Transaction, the estimation of mineral resources, exploration and mine development plans, timing of the commencement of operations and estimates of market conditions. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking information include, but are not limited to, problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with the establishment of any business, failure or inability to complete the Transaction on the terms as proposed, failure to obtain the required approvals of regulators, failure to identify mineral resources, failure to convert estimated mineral resources to reserves, the preliminary nature of metallurgical test results, delays in obtaining or failures to obtain required governmental, regulatory, environmental or other project approvals, political risks, unprofitable efforts resulting not only from the failure to discover mineral deposits but also from finding mineral deposits that, though present, are insufficient in quantity and quality to return a profit from production, uncertainties relating to the availability and costs of financing needed in the future, changes in equity markets, inflation, changes in exchange rates, fluctuations in commodity prices, delays in the development of projects, capital and operating costs varying significantly from estimates and the other risks involved in the mineral exploration and development industry. There is no assurance that Avidian’s mineral exploration and development activities will result in any discoveries of commercial bodies of ore. Mining exploration requires ready access to mining equipment such as drills, and crews to operate that equipment. There can be no assurance that such resources will be available to Avidian on a timely basis or at a reasonable cost. Unusual or infrequent weather phenomena, sabotage, or
projects depends upon Avidian’s ability to obtain financing through equity financing, joint ventures, debt financing, or other means. There is no assurance that Avidian will be successful in obtaining required financing as and when needed. There is no guarantee that Avidian’s title to such properties will not be challenged or impugned or that the appropriate permits and approvals will be obtainable on reasonable terms or on a timely basis; the licenses will be renewed upon their expiry; and that Avidian will be able to explore its properties as permitted or to enforce its rights with respect to its properties. Although Avidian believes that the assumptions and factors used in preparing the forward-looking information in this presentation are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on such information, which only applies as of the date of this Presentation, and no assurance can be given that such events will occur in the disclosed time frames or at all. Avidian disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, other than as required by law.
