Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors
Geovic Mining Corp. is subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), and applicable Canadian securities laws, and as a result we report our mineral reserves according to two different standards. Canadian reporting requirements for disclosure of mineral properties are governed by National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”). The definitions of NI 43-101 are adopted from those given by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum. U.S. reporting requirements are governed by the SEC Industry Guide 7 (“Guide 7”). These reporting standards have similar goals in terms of conveying an appropriate level of confidence in the disclosures being reported, but embody different approaches and definitions. Under Guide 7, mineralization may not be classified as a “reserve” unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is made.
We disclose mineral reserves and mineral resources according to the definitions set forth in NI 43-101 and modify them as appropriate to confirm to Guide 7 for reporting in the U.S. In Form 10-K, filed with the SEC, we use the term “mineralized material” to describe the amount of mineralization in mineral deposits that do not constitute “reserves” by United States standards. This is substantially equivalent to the total measured mineral resources and indicated mineral resources (disclosed as inclusive of reserves), which we disclose for reporting purposes in Canada. U.S. investors are cautioned that, while the terms “measured mineral resources,” “indicated mineral resources” and “inferred mineral resources” are recognized and required by Canadian securities laws; rules adopted by the SEC do not recognize them. U.S. investors are also cautioned not to assume that any measured or indicated resources will ever be converted into Guide 7 compliant reserves.
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission limits disclosure for U.S. reporting purposes to mineral deposits that a company can economically and legally extract or produce. We use certain terms on this web site, such as "reserves," "resources," "geologic resources," "proven," "probable," "measured," "indicated," or "inferred," which may not be consistent with the reserve definitions established by the SEC. U.S. investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our most recent Form 10-K filed with The Securities and Exchange Commission. You can also review and obtain copies of these filings from the SEC’s website.

This website contains forward-looking statements, including but not limited to comments regarding predictions and projections. All statements other than statements of historical fact, included on this website, including, without limitation, statements regarding potential mineralization and reserves, exploration results, and future plans and objective of Geovic, are forward-looking statements that involve various risks and uncertainties.

There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from Geovic’s expectations include, among others, risks related to international operations, commodity prices, the actual results of current exploration activities, conclusions of economic evaluations and changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined as well as future prices of precious and base metals, as well as those risk factors discussed in the Geovic’s Form 10-K, including risk factors and management’s discussion and analysis, and www.SEDAR.com. Although Geovic attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place reliance on forward-looking statements.
