This news release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of
the United States private securities litigation reform act of 1995 and
"forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable Canadian
securities legislation. Statements containing forward-looking information
express, as at the date of this news release, the Company's plans, estimates,
forecasts, projections, expectations, or beliefs as to future events or results
and the company does not intend, and does not assume any obligation to, update
such statements containing the forward-looking information. Such forward-looking
statements and information include, but are not limited to statements as to: the
accuracy of estimated mineral reserves and resources, anticipated results of
future exploration, and forecast future metal prices, anticipated results of
future electrical sales and expectations that environmental, permitting, legal,
title, taxation, socio-economic, political, marketing or other issues will not
materially affect estimates of mineral reserves.
These statements reflect the Company's current views with respect to future
events and are necessarily based upon a number of assumptions and estimates
that, while considered reasonable by the company, are inherently subject to
significant business, economic, competitive, political and social uncertainties
and contingencies. Many factors, both known and unknown, could cause actual
results, performance or achievements to be materially different from the
results, performance or achievements that are or may be expressed or implied by
such forward-looking statements contained in this news release and the company
has made assumptions and estimates based on or related to many of these factors.
Such factors include, without limitation: fluctuations in spot and forward
markets for silver, zinc, base metals and certain other commodities (such as
natural gas, fuel oil and electricity); fluctuations in currency markets (such
as the Peruvian sol versus the U.S. dollar); risks related to the technological
and operational nature of the Company's business; changes in national and local
government, legislation, taxation, controls or regulations and political or
economic developments in Canada, the United States, Peru or other countries
where the Company may carry on business in the future; risks and hazards
associated with the business of mineral exploration, development and mining
(including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, unusual or unexpected
geological or structural formations, pressures, cave-ins and flooding); risks
relating to the credit worthiness or financial condition of suppliers, refiners
and other parties with whom the Company does business; inadequate insurance, or
inability to obtain insurance, to cover these risks and hazards; employee
relations; relationships with and claims by local communities and indigenous
populations; availability and increasing costs associated with mining inputs and
labour;
the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development, including the
risks of obtaining necessary licenses and permits and the presence of laws and
regulations that may impose restrictions on mining,; diminishing quantities or
grades of mineral reserves as properties are mined; global financial conditions;
business opportunities that may be presented to, or pursued by, the Company; the
Company's ability to complete and successfully integrate acquisitions and to
mitigate other business combination risks; challenges to, or difficulty in
maintaining, the Company's title to properties and continued ownership thereof;
the actual results of current exploration activities, conclusions of economic
evaluations, and changes in project parameters to deal with unanticipated
economic or other factors; increased competition in the mining industry for
properties, equipment, qualified personnel, and their costs. Investors are
cautioned against attributing undue certainty or reliance on forward-looking
statements. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be other factors
that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated, described or intended.
The Company does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update these
forward-looking statements or information to reflect changes in assumptions or
changes in circumstances or any other events affecting such statements or
information, other than as required by applicable law.
Trevali's production plans at Caribou-Halfmile-Stratmat and Santander are based
only on Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources and not Mineral Reserves and do
not have demonstrated economic viability. Inferred Mineral Resources are
considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations
applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves,
and there is therefore no certainty that the conclusions of the production plans
and Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) will be realized. Additionally where
Trevali discusses exploration/expansion potential, any potential quantity and
grade is conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to
define a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result
in the target being delineated as a mineral resource. Reported interim
production figures are preliminary in nature and subject to regular and ongoing
reconciliation studies.
We advise US investors that while the terms "measured resources", "indicated
resources" and "inferred resources" are recognized and required by Canadian
regulations, the US Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize these
terms. US investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the
material in these categories will ever be converted into reserves.
This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an
offer to buy any of the securities in the United States. The securities
described herein have not been and will not be registered under the United
States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the securities laws of any state
and may not be offered or sold within the United States, absent such
registration or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements.
The TSX has not approved or disapproved of the contents of this news release.
