Cautionary Statement
Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements
All statements, other than statements of
historical fact, contained in this press release constitute
“forward-looking information” and “forward-looking statements”
within the meaning of certain securities laws and are based on
expectations and projections as of the date of this press release.
Forward-looking statements contained in this press release include,
without limitation, those related to (i) the Meeting to be held on
July 9, 2024; (ii) the approval of the Arrangement by at least
two-thirds of the votes cast by Reunion Gold Shareholders and
Reunion Gold Voting Security Holders; (iii) the Arrangement to
close in July 2024; (iv) the state of things immediately following
the completion of the Arrangement, notably the ownership of New
GMIN by Reunion Gold Shareholders and GMIN Shareholders,
respectively; (v) the listing of the Spinco Shares on the TSXV; and
(vi) more generally, the section entitled “About Reunion Gold
Corporation”.
Forward-looking statements are based on
expectations, estimates and projections as of the time of this
press release. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based
upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered
reasonable by the Company as of the time of such statements, are
inherently subject to significant business, economic and
competitive uncertainties and contingencies. These estimates and
assumptions may prove to be incorrect. Such assumptions include,
without limitation, those underlying the statements in the “About
Reunion Gold Corporation” section.
Many of these uncertainties and contingencies
can directly or indirectly affect, and could cause, actual results
to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any
forward-looking statements. There can be no assurance that, notably
but without limitation, the Company will (i) bring the Oko West
Project into commercial production within budget; or (ii) grow into
the next intermediate producer, as future events could differ
materially from what is currently anticipated by the Company. There
can neither be any assurance that (i) the Reunion Gold Voting
Securityholders will vote in favor of the Arrangement; (ii) the
Arrangement will close; and (iii) the outcome of the Arrangement
will be as set out in this press release, as future events could
differ materially from what is currently anticipated by the
Company.
By their very nature, forward-looking statements
involve inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and
specific, and risks exist that estimates, forecasts, projections
and other forward-looking statements will not be achieved or that
assumptions do not reflect future experience. Forward-looking
statements are provided for the purpose of providing information
about management’s expectations and plans relating to the future.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements as a number of important risk factors
and future events could cause the actual outcomes to differ
materially from the beliefs, plans, objectives, expectations,
anticipations, estimates, assumptions and intentions expressed in
such forward-looking statements. All of the forward-looking
statements made in this press release are qualified by these
cautionary statements and those made in the Company’s other filings
with the securities regulators of Canada including, but not limited
to, the cautionary statements made in the relevant sections of the
Company’s (i) Annual Information Form dated April 25, 2024, for the
financial year ended December 31, 2023, and (ii) Management’s
Discussion & Analysis for the financial year ended December 31,
2023. The Company cautions that the foregoing list of factors that
may affect future results is not exhaustive, and new, unforeseeable
risks may arise from time to time. The Company disclaims any
intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking
statements or to explain any material difference between subsequent
actual events and such forward-looking statements, except to the
extent required by applicable law.
