Disclaimer All forward-looking statements in this presentation, other than historical facts, that address exploration activities and mining potential are forward-looking statements. Although Miranda believes the expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements should not in anyway be construed as guarantees of the future performance and no assurance can be given that such expectations will be realised. Factors that could cause actual developments to differ materially from expectations include, but are not limited to, the successful conversion of the group’s old order exploration rights into new order rights, exploration results, analysis of geological, metallurgical and other technical information, the operational performance of joint venture partners, and the company’s ability to raise the necessary capital to progress its projects further. The group is subject to specific risks inherent in the exploration and mining business, and general economic and business conditions including, but not limited to, changes in the regulatory environment and other government action, fluctuations in commodity prices and exchange rates, and business and operational risk management. Reserves and Resources were compiled using the SAMREC guidance, with CPR’s still to be submitted to the JSE Page 2
