This news release includes certain statements that constitute "forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable securities law, including without limitation, statements that address the expenditure of funds by the Company and future drilling and exploitation activities and developments. Forward-looking statements address future events and conditions and are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions. While such estimates and assumptions are considered reasonable by the management of the Company, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive and regulatory uncertainties and risks, including the ability of the Company to raise the funds necessary for any future drilling or other exploration or expenditure, and the ability of the Company to raise the funds necessary to fund the option earn-in on the Clearwater West property, which may not occur as described herein or at all. In particular, there is no guarantee that the Private Placement will be completed or if completed, will be completed up to a certain amount. Furthermore, the anticipated amount of expenditures may differ from actual expenditures when made. Accordingly actual results may differ materially from those currently anticipated in such statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward looking statements include market prices, exploitation and exploration successes, the timing and receipt of government and regulatory approvals, and continued availability of capital and financing and general economic, market or business conditions, and fees charged by service providers.
