Cautionary Note to Investors
The information on this website and documents issued by Vital Metals and available through this website do not constitute an offer of securities for sale, or solicitation of an offer to purchase securities, in the United States or in jurisdictions where to do so would constitute a contravention of the relevant laws of such jurisdiction. No securities of Vital Metals have been, nor are they intended to be, registered under the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and such securities may not be offered or sold in the United States unless an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act is available.
The information on this website and documents issued by Vital Metals may contain “forward-looking statements” which may fall within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Act. Forward-looking statements relate to information that is based on assumptions of management, forecasts of future results, and estimates of amounts not yet determinable. Any statements that express predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases such as “expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate”, “plans”, “estimates” or “intends”, or stating that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved) are not statements of historical fact and may be “forward-looking statements.”
Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual events or results to differ from those reflected in the forward-looking statements, including, without limitation: risks related to failure to obtain adequate financing on a timely basis and on acceptable terms; risks related to the outcome of legal proceedings; political and regulatory risks associated with mining and exploration; risks related to the maintenance of exchange listings; risks related to environmental regulation and liability; the potential for delays in exploration or development activities or the completion of feasibility studies; risks and uncertainties relating to the interpretation of drill results, the geology, grade and continuity of mineral deposits; risks related to the inherent uncertainty of production and cost estimates and the potential for unexpected costs and expenses; results of prefeasibility and feasibility studies, and the possibility that future exploration, development or mining results will not be consistent with Vital Metals’s expectations; risks related to commodity price fluctuations; and other risks and uncertainties related to Vital Metals’s tenements, projects, properties and business. Should one or more of these risks and uncertainties materialise, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned against attributing undue certainty to forward-looking statements.
The terms “Mineral Reserve”, “Proved Mineral Reserve”, “Probable Mineral Reserve”, “Measured Mineral Resource”, “Indicated Mineral Resource” and “Inferred Mineral Resource” used on this website are Australian mining terms as defined in accordance with the 2012 or 2004 editions of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves” (JORC Code). While the terms “Measured Mineral Resource”, “Indicated Mineral Resource” and “Inferred Mineral Resource” are required pursuant to the JORC Code, the SEC does not recognise such terms. JORC standards differ significantly from the requirements of the SEC, and mineral resource information prepared in accordance with the JORC Code is not comparable to similar information regarding mineral reserves disclosed in accordance with the requirements of the SEC. As such, information contained in this release concerning descriptions of mineralisation and resources under JORC Code standards may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S companies in SEC filings. With respect to “Indicated Mineral Resource” and “Inferred Mineral Resource” there is a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and a great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It can not be assumed that all or any part of an “Indicated Mineral Resource” or “Inferred Mineral Resource” will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves.
