Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Information
All statements, other than statements of historical fact, contained or incorporated by reference on this website, constitute “forward-looking information” or “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of certain securities laws, and are based on expectations, estimates, and projections as of the date of this website. Forward-looking information contained in this website includes but is not limited to statements with respect to (a) the Company's ability to obtain funding on favourable terms or at all; (b) anticipated exploration activities and the results of those activities; (c) identification and definition of mineral deposits; (d) the Company's plans in respect of development and operations; (e) schedules and budgets for the Company’s development projects; (f) anticipated capital requirements and capital expenditures; (g) estimates and the realization of such estimates; (h) potential mining and processing scenarios; (i) anticipated operating costs, revenues, and cash flow; (j) the timing and amount of estimated future production; and (k) the future price of silver. The words “aim,” “anticipate,” “assumption,” “believe,” “budget,” “continue,” “could,” “develop,” “enhancement,” “estimate,” “expand,” “expect,” “explore,” “extend,” “goal,” “focus,” “forecast,” “forward,” “future,” “growth,” “guidance,” “indicate,” “initiative,” “intend,” “investigate,” “may,” “must,” “objective,” “opportunity,” “optimize,” “option,” “outcome,” “outlook,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “priority,” “progress,” “project,” “prospective,” “pursue,” “roadmap,” “schedule,” “seek,” “should,” “study,” “target,” “vision,” “will,” or “would,” and variations of those words, and similar words, phrases, or statements indicating that certain actions, events, or results may, could, should, or will be achieved, received, or taken, or will occur, identify forward-looking information.
Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon various estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by the Company as of the date of such statements, are inherently subject to significant business, economic, and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. The estimates, models, and assumptions of the Company referenced, contained, or incorporated by reference in this website, which may prove to be incorrect, include but are not limited to (1) there being no significant disruptions affecting the operations of the Company, whether due to extreme weather events or other natural disasters, labour disruptions, supply disruptions, power disruptions, protests, blockades, damage to equipment, or otherwise; (2) permitting, development, and operations at or in respect of the Company’s development projects being consistent with the Company’s current expectations, including without limitation the maintenance or modification of existing permits, licenses, consents, authorizations, and approvals (collectively, “Permits”) and the timely receipt of all Permits necessary for the development of and commencement of production at the Bethania Silver Project (the “Bethania
Project”), and the successful completion of exploration consistent with the Company’s expectations at the Company’s projects; (3) political and legal developments in any jurisdiction in which the Company operates being consistent with its current expectations, including without limitation the impact of any political developments in the Republic of Peru, and penalties imposed, or actions taken, by any government, including but not limited to amendments or other changes to laws, regulations, rules, and policies relating to mining, environmental protection, water use, labour and employment, safety, customs, and taxation; (4) the completion of studies on the timelines currently expected, and the results of those studies being consistent with the Company’s current expectations; (5) the exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and the Peruvian nuevo sol being approximately consistent with current levels; (6) certain price assumptions for silver; (7) prices for diesel, electricity, and other key supplies being approximately consistent with the Company’s expectations; (8) the accuracy of the current Mineral Resource estimate of the Company for the Bethania Project; (9) access to capital markets consistent with the Company’s expectations, and sufficient to fund the activities of the Company contemplated by this website; (10) potential direct or indirect operational impacts resulting from infectious diseases or pandemics such as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic; and (11) the effectiveness of preventative actions and contingency plans put in place by the Company to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Known and unknown factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to (a) the inaccuracy of any of the foregoing assumptions; (b) the Company’s ability to obtain financing; (c) the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development, including but not limited to the risks associated with obtaining and renewing necessary Permits; (d) political or economic developments in Canada, Peru, or other countries in which the Company does business or may do business; (e) the security of personnel and assets; (f) operating or technical difficulties in connection with mining or development activities; (g) changes in legislation, taxation, controls, policies, and regulations; (h) litigation or other claims against, or any regulatory investigations, enforcement actions, administrative orders, or sanctions in respect of, the Company, its directors, officers, or employees, including but not limited to securities class action litigation, environmental litigation, or regulatory proceedings, or any investigations, enforcement actions, or sanctions under any applicable anti-corruption laws; (i) fluctuations in the currency markets, or in the spot or forward price of silver or certain other commodities (such as fuel and electricity); (j) employee relations; (k) contests over title to properties, particularly undeveloped properties; and (l) business opportunities that may be presented to, or pursued by, the Company.
These uncertainties and contingencies may cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company. 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. Forward-looking statements are provided for the purpose of providing information about management’s expectations and plans relating to the future. All of the forward-looking statements made in this website are qualified by this cautionary statement and those made in our filings with Canadian securities regulators, including but not limited to the
cautionary statements made in the “Risk Analysis” section of our Management’s Discussion and Analysis dated April 21, 2023, for the year ended December 31, 2022, and the “Risk Factors” set forth in the Company’s Annual Information Form dated April 20, 2022, for the year ended December 31, 2021, both of which are available under the Company’s SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com. The factors described in these statements are not intended to represent a complete list of the factors that could affect the Company. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information or to explain any material difference between subsequent actual events and such forward-looking information, except to the extent required by applicable law.
Amended and Restated Preliminary Economic Assessment for the Bethania Project
The Amended and Restated Preliminary Economic Assessment on the Bethania Project (the “Amended Bethania PEA”) was conducted by, and the related technical report titled “Bethania Silver Project – NI 43- 101 Technical Report (Amended and Restated Preliminary Economic Assessment prepared for Kuya Silver Corporation), Huancavelica, Peru” (the “Amended Bethania PEA Report”), was prepared by, Mining Plus, with contributions from other consultants.
The Amended Bethania PEA Report was prepared in accordance with the requirements of National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) and has an effective date of October 20, 2023. The Amended Bethania PEA is based on the Mineral Resource estimate for the Bethania Project as set out in “National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report and Maiden Mineral Resource Estimate on the Bethania Silver Project, Department of Huancavelica, Province of Huancavelica, District of Acobambilla, Peru,” a technical report prepared for the Company with an issue date of February 21, 2022, an effective date of January 6, 2022, and an effective date of December 10, 2021 for the Mineral Resource estimate.
The Amended Bethania PEA is preliminary in nature, contains numerous assumptions, and includes Inferred Mineral Resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves. There is no certainty that the results of the Amended Bethania PEA will be realized. Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is no assurance that Inferred Mineral Resources will ever be upgraded to Mineral Reserves. In addition, the Mineral Resource estimate could be materially affected by environmental, geotechnical, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing, and other relevant factors.
The information in this website about the Amended Bethania PEA should be read in conjunction with the news release titled “Kuya Silver Announces Filing of Amended and Restated Technical Report” issued on October 23, 2023, and the Amended Bethania PEA Report, both of which are available on the Company’s website at www.kuyasilver.com
