Forward-looking Information in this news release includes: the Company’s expectations for the restart of its operations in Mexico (“Los Filos”), exploration potential, production capabilities, completion of technical and engineering studies, growth potential, expansion projects and future financial or operating performance of Los Filos, including shareholder returns therefrom; timing, receipt and anticipated effects of approvals for the restart of Los Filos, if any, exploration and expansion; and receipt of required approvals and permits. Forward-looking Information is typically identified by words such as “believe”, “will”, “grow”, “plan”, “expect”, “estimate”, “advance”, “commence”, “continue”  and similar terms, including variations like “may”, “could”, or “should”, or the negative connotation of such terms.

Forward-looking Information is based on the Company’s current expectations and assumptions, including: achievement of exploration, production, cost and development objectives; stable gold prices and input costs in line with the assumptions utilized in the estimation of Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources; availability of funding; accuracy of Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource estimates; successful implementation of long-term agreements with Los Filos communities and no material disruptions during the term of such agreements; adherence to mine plans and schedules; expected ore grades and recoveries; absence of labour disruptions or unplanned delays; productive relationships with workers, unions and communities; maintenance and timely receipt of permits and regulatory approvals; compliance with environmental and safety regulations; optimized operating assumptions and technical parameters, and constructive engagement with community partners. While the Company considers these assumptions reasonable, they may prove incorrect.
