FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This news release includes certain "forward-looking
information" under applicable Canadian and U.S. securities
legislation, including but not limited to statements relating to
timing and costs related to the general business and operational
outlook of the Company, the environmental footprint of tailings and
positive ecosystem impact relating thereto, donation and upcycling
of tailings, timing and quantities relating to tailings and Green
Lithium, achievements and projections relating to the Zero Tailings
strategy, achievement of ramp-up volumes, production estimates and
the operational status of the Groto do Cirilo Project, and other
forward-looking information. All statements that address future
plans, activities, events, estimates, expectations or developments
that the Company believes, expects or anticipates will or may occur
is forward-looking information, including statements regarding the
potential development of mineral resources and mineral reserves
which may or may not occur. Forward-looking information contained
herein is based on certain assumptions regarding, among other
things: general economic and political conditions; the stable and
supportive legislative, regulatory and community environment in
Brazil; demand for lithium,
including that such demand is supported by growth in the electric
vehicle market; the Company's market position and future financial
and operating performance; the Company's estimates of mineral
resources and mineral reserves, including whether mineral resources
will ever be developed into mineral reserves; and the Company's
ability to operate its mineral projects including that the Company
will not experience any materials or equipment shortages, any
labour or service provider outages or delays or any technical
issues. Although management believes that the assumptions and
expectations reflected in the forward-looking information are
reasonable, there can be no assurance that these assumptions and
expectations will prove to be correct. Forward-looking information
inherently involves and is subject to risks and uncertainties,
including but not limited to that the market prices for lithium may
not remain at current levels; and the market for electric vehicles
and other large format batteries currently has limited market share
and no assurances can be given for the rate at which this market
will develop, if at all, which could affect the success of the
Company and its ability to develop lithium operations. There can be
no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as
actual results and future events could differ materially from those
anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not
place undue reliance on forward-looking information. The Company
disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any
forward-looking information, whether because of new information,
future events or otherwise, except as required by law. For more
information on the risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could
cause our actual results to differ from current expectations,
