Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause
actual events or results to differ from those reflected in the forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, risks relating
to: fluctuating commodity prices; calculation of resources, reserves and mineralization and precious and base metal recovery; interpretations
and assumptions of mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates; exploration and development programs; feasibility and engineering reports;
all necessary permits, licenses and regulatory approvals for our operations are received in a timely manner;; title to properties; property
interests; joint venture partners; acquisition of commercially mineable mineral rights; financing; recent market events and conditions;
economic factors affecting the Company; timing, estimated amount, capital and operating expenditures and economic returns of future production;
integration of acquisitions into the Company's existing operations; competition; operations and political conditions; regulatory environment
in China, Canada, the United States, Ecuador and Kyrgyzstan; our ability to comply with environmental, health and safety laws; environmental
risks; foreign exchange rate fluctuations; insurance; risks and hazards of mining operations; key personnel; conflicts of interest; dependence
on management; internal control over financial reporting; and bringing actions and enforcing judgments under U.S. securities laws.
This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect any of the Company's forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements are statements about the future and are inherently uncertain, and actual achievements of the Company or other future events
or conditions may differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks, uncertainties
and other factors, including, without limitation, those referred to in the Company's Annual Information Form under the heading "Risk Factors".
Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be other

forward‐looking statements if circumstances or management's assumptions, beliefs, expectations or opinions should change, or changes
in any other events affecting such statements. For the reasons set forth above, investors should not place undue reliance on forward‐looking
statements.
CAUTIONARY NOTE TO US INVESTORS
The technical and scientific information contained herein has been prepared in accordance
with NI 43-101 and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum classification system, which differs significantly
from the standards adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Accordingly, the technical and scientific information
contained herein, including any estimates of mineral reserves and mineral resources, may not be comparable to similar information disclosed
by U.S. companies subject to the disclosure requirements of the SEC. In particular, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
this news release uses the terms "measured resources," "indicated resources" and "inferred resources" as defined in accordance with NI
43-101 and the CIM Standards.
Further to recent amendments, mineral property disclosure requirements in the United States (the "U.S. Rules") are governed by subpart
1300 of Regulation S-K of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act") which differ from the CIM Standards.
As a foreign private issuer that is eligible to file reports with the SEC pursuant to the multi-jurisdictional disclosure system (the
"MJDS"), the Company is not required to provide disclosure on its mineral properties under the U.S. Rules and will continue to provide
disclosure under NI 43-101 and the CIM Standards. If the Company ceases to be a foreign private issuer or loses its eligibility to file
its annual report on Form 40-F pursuant to the MJDS, then the Company will be subject to the U.S. Rules, which differ from the requirements
of NI 43-101 and the CIM Standards.
Pursuant to the new U.S. Rules, the SEC recognizes estimates of "measured mineral resources", "indicated
mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources." In addition, the definitions of "proven mineral reserves" and "probable mineral reserves"
under the U.S. Rules are now "substantially similar" to the corresponding standards under NI 43-101. Mineralization described using these
terms has a greater amount of uncertainty as to its existence and feasibility than mineralization that has been characterized as reserves.
Accordingly, U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that any measured mineral resources, indicated mineral resources, or inferred
mineral resources that the Company reports are or will be economically or legally mineable. Further, "inferred mineral resources" have
a greater amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically. Under Canadian securities
laws, estimates of "inferred mineral resources" may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases.
While the above terms under the U.S. Rules are "substantially similar" to the standards under NI 43-101 and CIM Standards, there are differences
in the definitions under the U.S. Rules and CIM Standards. Accordingly, there is no assurance any mineral reserves or mineral resources
that the Company may report as "proven mineral reserves", "probable mineral reserves", "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral
resources" and "inferred mineral resources" under NI 43-101 would be the same had the Company prepared the reserve or resource estimates
under the standards adopted under the U.S. Rules.

Form, can be obtained under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca, on EDGAR at www.sec.gov, and on the Company's website
