SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT
This presentation contains forward-looking statements and forward-looking information (collectively, “forward-looking statements”) within the meaning of applicable Canadian and US securities legislation. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included herein including, without limitation, statements regarding the potential for International Tower Hill to become a leading gold producer; the mine plan and design details described in the April 2017 NI 43-101 Technical Report; the potential for the expansion of the estimated resources at Livengood; the potential to optimize the Livengood project including through the use of a different resource model and additional metallurgical test work; the potential commencement of any development of a mine at Livengood following a production decision; anticipated annual and aggregate gold production following development of a mine at Livengood; and the economic viability of the Livengood Gold Project at different gold prices; are forward-looking statements. Information concerning mineral resource estimates, the preliminary economic analysis thereof and operating metrics related thereto, also may be deemed to be forward-looking statements in that it reflects a prediction of the mineralization that would be encountered, and the results of mining it, if a mineral deposit were developed and mined. Forward-looking statements are based on a number of assumptions which may prove incorrect, including, but not limited to, assumptions about the level and volatility of the price of gold; the timing of the receipt of regulatory and government approvals; permits and authorizations necessary to implement and carry on the Company’s planned exploration and potential development program at Livengood; the Company’s ability to attract and retain key staff, particularly in connection with the development of any mine at Livengood; the timing of the ability to commence and complete the planned work at Livengood; and the ongoing relations of the Company with its underlying lessors, local communities and applicable regulatory agencies.
Accordingly, the Company cautions that any forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future results or performance, and that actual results may differ, and such differences may be material, from those set out in the forward-looking statements as a result of, among other factors, variations in the nature, quality and quantity of any mineral deposits that may be located, the Company’s inability to obtain, or any delays in the timing of, any necessary permits, consents or authorizations required for its activities, material adverse changes in economic and market conditions, changes in the regulatory environment and other government actions, fluctuations in the price of gold and exchange rates, the inability of the Company to raise the necessary capital for its ongoing operations and business and operational risks normal in the mineral exploration, development and mining industries, the Company’s ability to attract and retain key staff, particularly in connection with the development of any mine at Livengood; the timing of the ability to commence and complete the planned work at Livengood; and the ongoing relations of the Company with its underlying lessors, local communities and applicable regulatory agencies, as well as the risks and uncertainties disclosed in the Company’s most recent Annual Information Form filed with certain provincial securities commissions in Canada and in the Company’s most recent Form 10-K and Forms 10-Q filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, available at www.sedar.com and www.sec.gov, respectively. The Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly or release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this presentation or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events except as required by law.. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or any person acting on its behalf are qualified by the cautionary statements herein.
This presentation contains information with respect to adjacent or similar mineral properties in respect of which the Company has no interest or rights to explore or mine. Readers are cautioned that the Company has no interest in or right to acquire any interest in any such properties, and that mineral deposits on adjacent or similar properties are not indicative of mineral deposits on the Company’s properties.
Scientific or technical information contained herein is derived from the Company’s NI 43-101 technical report which includes more detailed information with respect to the Company’s properties, including the date of such report and the estimates included therein, details of quality and grade of each resource, details of the key assumptions, methods and parameters used in the resource estimates, a general discussion of the extent to which the resource estimates and the other estimates and projections included in the report may be materially affected by any known environmental, permitting, legal, taxation, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues and you are urged to review such report in its entirety. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have any demonstrated economic viability.
The Company uses certain terms in this presentation, such as “resources,” “indicated” and “inferred” that are defined in, and required to be disclosed by, NI 43-101 but that the SEC’s guidelines strictly prohibit U.S. registered companies from including in their filings with the SEC. Accordingly, the Company’s disclosures regarding mineralization may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by US registered companies that are not subject to NI 43-101. You are urged to consider closely the disclosure in the Company’s latest 10-K annual report, which may be secured from the Company website www.ithmines.com, or from the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Note: All monetary values are USD unless otherwise stated.
As previously announced, the Company has commenced working on an updated pre-feasibility study (PFS) for the Livengood Gold Project and expects to release the results of the PFS and the associated NI 43-101 technical report in October 2021. All information in this presentation derived from the Company’s April 2017 NI 43-101 Technical Report is subject to change, including substantial change, based on the updated PFS.
