This presentation includes certain forward-looking statements concerning the future performance of Plateau Energy Metals’ business, operations and financial performance and condition, as well as management's objectives, strategies, beliefs and intentions as at June 5, 2019. Forward-looking statements are frequently identified by such words as "may", "will", "plan", "expect", "anticipate", "estimate", "intend" and similar words referring to future events and results. Forward-looking statements are based on the current opinions and expectations of management. Forward-looking statements and forward-looking information include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to estimated production and mine life; the future price of lithium and uranium; the estimation of mineral reserves and resources; the realization of mineral resource and reserve estimates; the timing and amount of estimated future production; costs of production; success of exploration activities; and currency exchange rate fluctuations. Except for statements of historical fact relating to Plateau Energy Metals, certain information contained herein constitutes forward-looking statements. All forward-looking information is inherently uncertain and subject to a variety of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, including the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development, fluctuating commodity prices, competitive risks, the availability of financing, variations in grades or recovery rates, the interpretation of drill results, the geology, grade and continuity of mineral deposits and conclusions of economic evaluations, results of any initial feasibility, pre-feasibility and feasibility studies, and the possibility that any future exploration, development or mining results will not be consistent with our expectations. mining and development risks, including risks related to accidents, equipment breakdowns, unanticipated difficulties with or interruptions in exploration and development, the potential for delays in exploration or development activities or the completion of feasibility studies, if any, the uncertainty of profitability based upon the cyclical nature of the industry in which we operate, delays in obtaining governmental approvals or in the completion of development or construction activities, risks related to environmental regulation and liability, political and regulatory risks associated with mining and exploration, risks related to the certainty of title to our properties, risks relating to international operations, fluctuating currency exchange rates, changes in project parameters, the possibility of project cost overruns or unanticipated costs and expenses, labour disputes (including work stoppages and strikes) and other risks of the mining industry, failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated, as described in more detail in the Company's recent securities filings available at www.sedar.com. Actual events or results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements and Plateau cautions against placing undue reliance thereon. Neither Plateau Energy Metals nor its management assume any obligation to revise or update these forward-looking statements. The preliminary economic assessment is preliminary in nature, it includes inferred mineral resources that 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 no certainty that the preliminary economic assessment will be realized.
