(“La Mancha”), constitutes "forward-looking statements". All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. The words “projected”, “attributable”, “potential”, “will” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by La Mancha are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. Known and unknown factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to: fluctuations in the currency markets; fluctuations in the spot and forward price of gold or certain other commodities; changes in national and local government legislation, taxation, controls, regulations and political or economic developments in Canada or other countries in which La Mancha does or may carry on business in the future; business opportunities that may be presented to, or pursued by, La Mancha the ability to successfully integrate acquisitions; operating or technical difficulties in connection with, mining or development activities; the speculative nature of gold exploration and development, including the risks of obtaining necessary licenses and permits; diminishing quantities or grades of reserves; adverse changes in the credit rating; and contests over title to properties. In addition, there are risks and hazards associated with the business of gold exploration, development and mining, including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, unusual or unexpected formations, pressures, cave-ins, flooding and gold bullion losses (and the risk of inadequate insurance, or inability to obtain insurance, to cover these risks). Many of these uncertainties and contingencies can affect the actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, La Mancha. You are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. This presentation uses the terms “inferred resources” and “measured & indicated resources”. La Mancha advises you that these terms are recognized by Canadian securities regulations (under National Instrument “Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects”). You 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 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 You are cautioned no to assume that part or all of an inferred resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable. The Hassaï conceptual estimate of potential tonnes and grade to date for the third to sixth targets has insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource compliant with National Instrument The information contained herein is confidential and does not constitute a recommendation by La Mancha its agents or any vendor party nor does it form the basis of any contract or offer for the sale of the business of gold exploration, development and mining.
