Cautionary Note to Investors

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission ('SEC?) limits
disclosure for U.S. reporting purposes to mineral deposits that a
company can economically and legally extract or produce. This press
release uses the term 'resource.? We advise U.S. investors that while
this term is defined in accordance with Canadian National Instrument NI
43-101 and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum
('CIM?) - CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral
Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended (the 'CIM
Standards?), such term is not recognized by the SEC and is normally not
permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with
the SEC. U.S. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any defined
resource would ever be converted into SEC compliant reserves. Our Round
Top rare earth minerals project currently does not contain any known
proven or probable ore reserves under SEC reporting standards. U.S.
investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our latest
reports and registration statements filed with the SEC. You can review
