This news release contains "forward-looking information" and "forward-looking statements" (collectively, "forward-looking statements") within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation. Forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance and reflect the current expectations, estimates and beliefs of management regarding future events, and are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements can often, but not always, be identified by terminology such as "plans", "expects", "estimates", "intends", "anticipates", "believes", "targets", "potential", or variations of such words and phrases, or statements that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements in this news release include, without limitation, statements regarding: the scope, objectives, timing, methodology and completion of the Company's Reverse Circulation ("RC") and other drilling programs; the planned number, location, orientation and depth of drill holes; the receipt, quality assurance/quality control ("QA/QC") validation, interpretation and significance of exploration and analytical results; the potential presence, continuity, extent, thickness or grade of mineralization; the use of exploration and drilling results to plan, refine or expand future exploration programs; the advancement and evaluation of the Arapaima Project and the targets within the Company's land package; the composition of the board of directors and management team following the annual general meeting; the Company's future exploration plans, strategies, objectives and expenditures; the availability and terms of future financing; the maintenance of title, permits and regulatory approvals; and the Company's compliance with applicable regulatory and disclosure requirements.

Forward-looking statements are based on a number of assumptions that management considers reasonable as of the date hereof, including, without limitation: that the Company will complete its planned exploration and drilling programs substantially as contemplated; that the Company will maintain an adequate financial position and access to financing on acceptable terms; that geological conditions and mineralization will be consistent with the Company's current interpretations; that drilling equipment, qualified personnel and analytical laboratory services will remain available and operate on a timely basis; that QA/QC procedures will perform as intended; that the Company will maintain the title, permits, licences and regulatory approvals required for its activities; and that there will be no material adverse change in commodity prices, capital markets, or the economic, regulatory or political environment in Brazil or Canada. Such assumptions are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive and regulatory uncertainties and contingencies.

Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied, including, without limitation: the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development; geological and modelling uncertainty; the risk that exploration, drilling or analytical results (including pending or future results) are not as expected, are not confirmed by QA/QC or subsequent interpretation, or are not indicative of the presence, continuity, extent or grade of mineralization; sampling, analytical and data-collection variability; operational, technical, logistical and weather-related risks; title, permitting, environmental, community-relations and regulatory risks, including in a foreign jurisdiction; risks relating to the availability, cost and dilutive effect of financing; fluctuations in commodity prices, foreign exchange and inflation; and general economic, market and political conditions. There can be no assurance that any exploration program will result in the discovery of economically viable mineralization, or that any mineralization identified will be delineated as a mineral resource or mineral reserve or be developed.

Cautionary note: The Company is an exploration-stage issuer. No mineral resource or mineral reserve has been estimated, defined or delineated on the Arapaima Project, and exploration to date is insufficient to define a mineral resource or mineral reserve. Exploration results, including assay results, intervals, widths and geological interpretations, are preliminary in nature, may be revised, and are not necessarily indicative of mineralization that may ultimately be defined. References to neighbouring or analogous properties, deposit styles or sector developments are not indicative of mineralization on the Company's properties.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this news release, and that reliance on such information may not be appropriate for other purposes. Except as required by applicable securities laws, the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
