Certain statements in this presentation constitute forward-looking information within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation. Forward- looking information relates to future events or the anticipated performance of Sierra and reflect management's expectations or beliefs regarding such future events and anticipated performance based on an assumed set of economic conditions and courses of action. In certain cases, statements that contain forward-looking information can be identified by the use of words such as "plans", "expects", "is expected", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "anticipates", "believes" or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might", or "will be taken", "occur" or "be achieved" or the negative of these words or comparable terminology. By its very nature forward-looking information involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual performance
estimates of future production levels; expectations regarding mine production costs; expected trends in mineral prices; changes in general economic conditions and financial markets; changes in prices for silver and other metals; technological and operational hazards in Sierra's mining and mine development activities; risks inherent in mineral exploration; uncertainties inherent in the estimation of mineral reserves, mineral resources, and metal recoveries; the timing and availability of financing; governmental and other approvals; political unrest or instability in countries where Sierra is active; labor relations and other risk factors disclosed in Sierra's Annual Information Form, which is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Although Sierra has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual performance to differ materially from that described in forward- looking information, there may be other factors that cause its performance not to be as anticipated. Sierra neither intends nor assumes any
required by applicable law. There can be no assurance that forward-looking information will prove to be accurate as actual results and future events could differ materially from those currently anticipated. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information. This presentation uses the terms "measured resources", "indicated resources" and "inferred resources" as such terms are recognized under National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") adopted by the Canadian Securities Administrators. Readers are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves. In addition, "inferred resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian securities rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, or economic studies, except for a "preliminary assessment" as defined under NI 43-
Thomas L. Robyn, Ph.D., CPG, RPG, is the "Qualified Person" as defined in NI 43-101 and Senior Vice President, Exploration for Sierra supervised the preparation of the scientific and technical information of Sierra included in this presentation.
