Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Information
Certain statements included in this presentation constitute forward-looking statements, including those identified by the words “proposed”, “will”, anticipate”, “believe”, “plan”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “may”, “should” and similar words and expressions to the extent they relate to GT Gold Corp. (the “Company”) or its management. The forward-looking statements are not historical facts and are based on current expectations and various estimates, factors and assumptions. They therefore involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors. Any forward-looking statements represent the Company’s estimates only as of the date of this presentation and should not be relied upon as representing the Company’s estimates as
which makes it prudent to change such plans or programs; and
result in changes in the Company’s expectations. Readers should not place undue reliance on the Company’s forward-looking statements, as the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements may differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements if known or unknown risks, uncertainties or other factors affect the Company’s business, or if the Company’s estimates or assumptions prove inaccurate. Therefore, the Company cannot provide any assurance that such forward-looking statements will materialize. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
QA/QC PROCEDURES
GT Gold has implemented a rigorous quality assurance / quality control (QA/QC) program to ensure best practices in sampling and analysis of RC chips and diamond drill core, the complete details of which can be viewed on the Company’s website at http://www.gtgoldcorp.ca/projects/tatogga/ Saddle Reverse Circulation and Diamond Drill Program Assay Results Widths reported in this presentation are drilled core lengths. True widths are estimated to be approximately 85- 90% of drilled lengths for minus 50 degree holes, and approximately 70% for minus 70 degree holes. All assays are performed by ALS Canada Ltd. (Minerals), with sample preparation carried out at the ALS facility in Terrace, BC, and assays at the North Vancouver laboratory. Assay values are uncut. For gold, fire assays are performed as per ALS protocol Au-AA26 (0.01-100.00 g/t Au) using 50 grams of sample with assays equal to or greater than 5 g/t Au calculated gravimetrically, and lower-grade samples measured by (AA) atomic absorption. All samples that return equal to or greater than 5 g/t Au from initial fire assaying are additionally sent for screen metallic analysis using the remainder of the pulp (~950 grams of sample). This step is taken to ensure that any coarse grained, nugget gold fraction that may have been missed in the fire assays has been captured. GT Gold Corp.’s Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 is Charles James Greig, P.Geo., Vice President, Exploration. Mr.Greig has reviewed and approved the technical information in this presentation.
