FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This website contains certain statements, which may constitute “forward-looking information” within the meaning of Canadian securities law requirements. Forward-looking information involves statements that are not based on historical information but rather relate to future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments. Forward-looking information is necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions, which are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond Atco’s control and many of which, regarding future business decisions, are subject to change. These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by or on Atco’s behalf. Although Atco has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results to differ from those anticipated, estimated or intended. All factors should be considered carefully, and readers should not place undue reliance on Atco’s forward-looking information. Examples of such forward-looking information within this Presentation include statements relating to the future price of minerals, future capital expenditures, success of exploration activities, mining or processing issues, government regulation of mining operations and environmental risks. Generally, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “expects,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” or variations of such words and phrases (including negative and grammatical variations) or statements that certain actions, events or results “may,” “could,” “might” or “occur.”
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions, which are difficult to predict. Assumptions underlying Atco’s expectations regarding forward-looking statements or information contained in this website include, among others, Atco’s ability to comply with applicable governmental regulations and standards, its success in implementing its strategies, achieving its business objectives, the ability to raise sufficient funds from equity financings in the future to support its operations, and general business and economic conditions. The foregoing list of assumptions is not exhaustive. Prospective investors reading this website are cautioned that forward-looking statements are only predictions, and that Atco’s actual future results or performance are subject to certain risks and uncertainties including: risks related to Atco’s mineral properties being subject to prior unregistered agreements, transfers or claims and other defects in title; risks related to increased competition and uncertainty related to additional financing that could adversely affect its ability to attract necessary capital funding or obtain suitable properties for mineral exploration in the future; risks related to its officers and directors becoming associated with other natural resource companies, which may give rise to conflicts of interest; uncertainty and volatility related to stock market prices and conditions; further equity financing(s), which may substantially dilute the interests of Atco’s shareholders; risks relating to its exploration operations; dependence on general economic, market or business conditions; changes in business strategies; environmental risks and remediation measures; and changes in laws and regulations.
FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
In this website, it reflects Atco’s current views with respect to future events and are necessarily based upon a number of assumptions and estimates that, while considered reasonable by Atco, 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 information contained in this website and documents incorporated by reference, and we have made assumptions based on or related to many of these factors. Such factors include, without limitation: fluctuations in spot and forward markets for silver, gold, base metals and certain other commodities (such as natural gas, fuel oil and electricity); restrictions on mining in the jurisdictions in which Atco operates; laws and regulations governing our operation, exploration and development activities; its ability to obtain or renew the licenses and permits necessary for the operation and expansion of its existing operations and for the development, construction and commencement of new operations; risks and hazards associated with the business of mineral exploration, development and mining (including environmental hazards, potential unintended releases of contaminants, industrial accidents, unusual or unexpected geological or structural formations, pressures, cave-ins and flooding); inherent risks associated with tailings facilities and heap leach operations, including failure or leakages; the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development; the inability to determine, with certainty, production and cost estimates; inadequate or unreliable infrastructure (such as roads, bridges, power sources and water supplies); environmental regulations and legislation; the effects of climate change, extreme weather events, water scarcity, and seismic events, and the effectiveness of strategies to deal with these issues; risks relating to Atco’s exploration operations; fluctuations in currency markets (such as the US dollar versus the Canadian dollar); the volatility of the metals markets, and its potential to impact our ability to meet its financial obligations; Atco’s ability to recruit and retain qualified personnel; employee relations; disputes as to the validity of mining or exploration titles or claims or rights, which constitute most of its property holdings; Atco’s ability to complete and successfully integrate acquisitions; increased competition in the mining industry for properties and equipment; limited supply of materials and supply chain disruptions; relations with and claims by indigenous populations; relations with and claims by local communities and non-governmental organizations; the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting; claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business activities.
Forward-looking information is made based on management’s beliefs, estimates and opinions and are given only as of the date published. Atco undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking information if these beliefs, estimates and opinions or other circumstances should change, except as may be required by applicable law. Current and potential investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements due to the inherent uncertainty therein. All forward-looking information is expressly qualified in its entirety by this cautionary statement.
GEOLOGICAL INFORMATION
This website contains information and geological features on, the May Lake Project in Saskatchewan as well as the Blue Moon South and Lunar North Projects in Newfoundland. Historic rock samples and grab samples mentioned in this website are selective by nature and are unlikely to represent average grades of the property.
The reported drill intercepts mentioned in this website are intersected lengths and not true widths. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify any of the estimates discussed in this website as current mineral resources or mineral reserves and these estimates are being treated as historical in nature and not as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. Accordingly, these historical estimates are presented only for the purposes of assisting in describing the extent of gold mineralization and to outline the exploration potential. These estimates should not be relied upon for assessing the merits of the mentioned properties and projects.
