performance or achievements of RNC to be materially different from any
future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the
forward-looking statements. Factors that could affect the outcome

results of drilling; inability to raise the money necessary to incur the
expenditures required to retain and advance the properties;
environmental liabilities (known and unknown); general business,
economic, competitive, political and social uncertainties; results of
exploration programs; accidents, labour disputes and other risks of the
mining industry; political instability, terrorism, insurrection or war;
or delays in obtaining governmental approvals, projected cash operating

any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a
result of new information, future events or results or otherwise, except
as required by applicable securities laws.
Cautionary Statement Regarding the Higginsville Mining Operations A
production decision at the Higginsville gold operations was made by
previous operators of the mine, prior to the completion of the
acquisition of the Higginsville gold operations by RNC and RNC made a
decision to continue production subsequent to the acquisition. This
decision by RNC to continue production and, to the knowledge of RNC, the
prior production decision were not based on a feasibility study of
mineral reserves, demonstrating economic and technical viability, and,
as a result, there may be an increased uncertainty of achieving any
particular level of recovery of minerals or the cost of such recovery,
which include increased risks associated with developing a commercially
mineable deposit. Historically, such projects have a much higher risk of
economic and technical failure. There is no guarantee that anticipated
production costs will be achieved. Failure to achieve the anticipated
production costs would have a material adverse impact on the
Corporation’s cash flow and future profitability. Readers are cautioned
that there is increased uncertainty and higher risk of economic and
technical failure associated with such production decisions.
