The Golden Trend on the Cortez in Nevada
We are in the mineral exploration and development business. It is inherently risky, and all potential investors should be keenly aware of this. This presentation contains forward-looking statements. All statements, other than of historical fact, that address activities, events or developments that Pacific Precious Inc. believes, expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future (including, without limitation, statements regarding the estimation of mineral resources, exploration results, potential mineralization, potential mineral resources and mineral reserves) are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are generally identifiable by use of the words “may”, “will”, “should”, “continue”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “believe”, “intend”, “plan” or “project” or the negative of these words or
uncertainties, many of which are beyond Pacific Precious Inc. ability to control or predict, that may cause the actual results of the project to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from current expectations include, among other things, without limitation, failure to establish estimated mineral resources, the possibility that future exploration results will not be consistent with Pacific Precious Inc.’s expectations, changes in world gold markets and other risks disclosed to the Canadian provincial securities regulatory authorities. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made and, except as may be required by applicable securities laws, Pacific Precious Inc. disclaim any intent or
