2 Forward Looking Statements This presentation may contain forward looking statements concerning the Company s plans for its properties, operations and other matters. These statements refer to analyses and other information that are based on forecasts of future results, estimates of amounts not yet determinable and assumptions of management. Statements concerning reserves and mineral resource estimates may also be deemed to be forward looking statements to the extent that they involve estimates of the mineralization that will be encountered if the property is developed and in the case of mineral reserves, such statements reflect the conclusion based on certain assumptions that the mineral deposit can be economically exploited. Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance are not statements of historical fact and may be forward looking statements. Should one or more of these risks and uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in forward looking statements. Forward looking statements are made based on management s beliefs, estimates and opinions on the date the statements are made and the Company undertakes no obligation to update forward looking statements if these beliefs, estimates and opinions or other circumstances change. Investors are cautioned against attributing undue certainty to forward looking statements. Ian Fraser, VP Exploration for Fathom Minerals Ltd., is a Qualified Person for the purposes of NI and has reviewed and approved the information of a scientific or technical nature contained in this presentation. Potential quantities and grades at the Rottenstone Project are conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration on the project to define a mineral resource. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in the targets being delineated as a mineral resource. Potential quantities and grades in this presentation are based on historic exploration and mining results. Scientific and technical information in this presentation is preliminary in nature and for informational purposes only. The company expects to complete and publicly file a technical report prepared in accordance with NI containing technical details regarding the project. All disclosure provided in this presentation is subject to the more detailed analysis included in that technical report. 2 2
