FLS DISCLAIMER

Forward-Looking Statements

Except for statements of historical fact, this website contains “forward-looking information” within the meaning of securities legislation, including the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and applicable Canadian securities legislation, and are collectively referred to herein as “forward-looking statements”.  The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements contained in this website, except in accordance with applicable securities laws.

Forward-looking statements are based on the opinions and estimates of management as of the date such statements are made and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results of the Company to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.  The material assumptions upon which such forward-looking statements are based include, among others:  that the demand for potash will develop as anticipated; that the price of potash will remain at levels that will render the Company’s potash projects economic; that operating and capital plans will not be disrupted by issues such as mechanical failure, unavailability of parts and supplies, labour disturbances, interruption in transportation or utilities, or adverse weather conditions; that the Company will continue to have the ability to attract and retain skilled staff; and that there are no material unanticipated variations in the cost of energy or supplies, or in the pre-production capital and operating cost estimate as disclosed in the Company’s Pilot Study.  

Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the effect and estimated timeline of the drilling and assay results on the Company, the estimation of mineral resources, the timing and amount of estimated future exploration, costs of exploration, capital expenditures, success of exploration activities, permitting time lines and permitting, government regulation of mining operations, environmental risks, unanticipated reclamation expenses and title disputes or claims.  Generally, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “plans”, “expects”, “does not expect”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates”, “does not anticipate”, “believes” or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might”, “will be taken”, “occur” or “be achieved”.

Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.  Such factors include, among others: future prices of potash; possible variations in mineralization, grade or recovery rates; actual results of current exploration activities; actual results of reclamation activities; conclusions of future economic evaluations; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; failure of equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; accidents, labour disputes and other risks of the mining industry; delays and other risks related to joint venture operations; timing and receipt of regulatory approvals of operations; the ability of the Company and other relevant parties to satisfy regulatory requirements; the availability of financing for proposed transactions and programs on reasonable terms; the ability of third-party service providers to deliver services on reasonable terms and in a timely manner; and delays in the completion of development or construction activities.  Other factors that could cause the actual results to differ include: market prices; results of exploration; availability of capital and financing on acceptable terms; inability to obtain required regulatory approvals; unanticipated difficulties or costs in any rehabilitation which may be necessary; market conditions; and general business, economic, competitive, political and social conditions.

Although management of the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended.  There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

NI 43-101 CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS

National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) Cautionary Notes

This website may contain information regarding a historical mineral resource.  A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves.  The Company is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves.

The Company has prepared and filed an NI 43-101 Technical Report titled “NI 43-101 Technical Report Summarizing the Scoping Study for a Pilot Scale Selective Solution Mining Operation on the Milestone Project (Subsurface Mineral Lease KLSA 008), Saskatchewan” dated August 4, 2015 and effective July 2, 2015 (the “Pilot Study”). The report was prepared by Agapito Associates, Inc. and Novopro Projects Inc. The economic analysis used in the report was based on measured and indicated resources. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

The Pilot Study is a preliminary economic assessment, is preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources, which are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is no certainty that inferred resources will be converted to the measured and indicated categories, that the measured and indicated resources will be converted to the proven and probable mineral reserve categories and there is no certainty that the Pilot Study will be realized. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability; the estimate of mineral resources in the Pilot Study may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues.

The projected mining method, potential production profile and plan and mine plan referred to in the Pilot Study and this website are conceptual in nature and additional technical studies will be required in order to fully assess their viability. There is no certainty that a potential mine will be realized or that a production decision will be made. A mine production decision that is made without a feasibility study carries additional potential risks that include, but are not limited to, the inclusion of inferred mineral resources, which are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. Mine design and mining schedules, metallurgical flow sheets and process plant designs will require additional detailed work and economic analysis and internal studies to ensure satisfactory operational conditions and decisions regarding future targeted production.

To the extent that the use of the terms “ore,” “mineable” “production,” and “mining” occurs on this website or in the Pilot Study, its use is intended solely to differentiate between mineralized material (including dilution) above an economic cut-off grade and waste rock; there is no inference of mineral reserves

Qualified Persons under NI 43-101

Please refer to the specific document accessible, cross-referenced or otherwise referred to on this website for the description of the particular applicable qualified person(s) in respect of that document. For general purposes, please note the following.
The Pilot Study was read and approved by Dr. Douglas F. Hambley, P.E. (US), P.Eng. (SK), P.G. (US), Dr. Bo Yu, P.E. (US) and James Brebner, Eng. (QC), all independent Qualified Persons, as defined by NI 43-101. The Pilot Study has been prepared by Agapito Associates, Inc. and Novopro Projects Inc.

Caution Regarding Adjacent or Similar Mineral Properties

This website 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.  The Company advises US investors that the mining guidelines of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) set forth in the SEC’s Industry Guide 7 strictly prohibit information of this type in documents filed with the SEC.  The Company is exempt from the requirements of Industry Guide 7 pursuant to the Canada-US Multi-Jurisdictional Disclosure System.  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.

U.S. CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS

Caution Regarding Reference to Resources and Reserves

NI 43-101 is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators which establishes standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects.  The disclosure in this website may use terms that comply with reporting standards in Canada.  In addition, the terms “mineral resource”, “measured mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource”, “inferred mineral resource”, “probable mineral reserve” and “proven mineral reserve” are defined in and required to be used by the Company by NI 43-101; however, these terms are not defined terms under SEC Industry Guide 7 and normally are not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC.  Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into mineral reserves.  “Inferred mineral resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and as to their economic and legal feasibility.  Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility studies, pre-feasibility studies or other economic studies, except in prescribed cases, such as in a preliminary economic assessment under certain circumstances.  It cannot be assumed that all or any part of the measured mineral resources, indicated mineral resources or inferred mineral resources will ever be upgraded to a higher category.

Accordingly, information contained in this website containing descriptions of the Company’s mineral deposits may not be comparable to similar information made public by United States companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements under the United States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.
