Natural resource exploration and, ultimately, the development of deposits are activities subject to significant risks. The probability of success for any given exploration program cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty. It is impossible to know whether the current exploration programs of the Corporation will ultimately result in a profitable, commercial mining operation. The ultimate economic value of a discovery and the decision to bring the project into production are based on a number of factors including the attributes of the deposit (such as its size and the quantity and quality of the palladium), market conditions, mining costs, availability of financing, confirmation of land title, environmental considerations and mining permits. At any point in time throughout this exploration and evaluation process, results and external conditions can adversely affect its progress and outcome.

This presentation contains forward-looking statements which are made pursuant to the "safe harbour" provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. They include estimates and statements that describe the Corporation's future plans, objectives and goals, including words to the effect that the Corporation or management expects a stated condition or result to occur. When used herein, such words as "believe," "estimate," "expect," "intend," and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. In particular, statements relating to estimated mineral reserves, cash flows, ore production, mine life, financing and estimates of future production, costs per ounce, dates of construction completion, costs of capital projects and commencement of operations are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties and are subject to factors, many of which are beyond our control, that may cause actual results or performance to differ materially from those currently anticipated in such statements.

Among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the following. Production may vary from estimates for particular properties and for the Corporation as a whole because of changes in reserves, variation in ore mined from estimated grade and metallurgical characteristics, unexpected ground conditions, mining dilution, labour actions, and government restrictions. Cash costs may vary due to changes from reserve and production estimates, unexpected mining conditions, and changes in estimated costs of equipment, supplies, utilities, labour costs and exchange rates. Non-cash cost estimates, based on total capital costs and reserve estimates, change based on actual amounts of unamortized capital and changes in reserves. Capital cost estimates are based on operating experience, expected production, estimates by and contract terms with third-party suppliers, expected legal requirements, feasibility reports by company personnel and others, and other factors. Factors involved in estimated time for completion of projects include the Corporation's experience in completing capital projects, estimates by and contract terms with contractors, engineers, suppliers and others involved in design and construction of projects, and estimated time for the government to process applications, issue permits and take other actions. Changes in any factor may cause costs and time for completion to vary significantly from estimates. There is a greater likelihood of variation for properties and facilities not yet in production due to lack of actual experience.

Other risk factors are disclosed in the Corporation's most recent Annual Report under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Results" and Annual Information Form under "Risk Factors" on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and Canadian Provincial Securities Regulatory Authorities. The Corporation disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, events, or otherwise. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
