Caution About Forward-Looking Information Statements contained in this presentation include statements and information about our expectations for the future. When we discuss our strategy, plans and future financial and operating performance, or other things that have not yet taken place, we are making statements considered to be forward-looking information or forward-looking statements under Canadian and U.S. securities laws. They represent our current views and can change significantly. These statements are based upon a number of material assumptions, which may prove to be incorrect. Actual results and events may be significantly different from what we currently expect because of the risks associated with our business. We recommend that you review our most recent annual and any subsequent quarterly management's discussion and analysis for more information about these assumptions and risks. You should also review our current annual information form, which includes a discussion of other material risks that could cause actual results to differ significantly from our current expectations. Forward-looking information is designed to help you understand management's current views of our near and longer-term prospects, and it may not be appropriate for other purposes. We will not necessarily update this information unless we are required to by securities laws. Examples of forward-looking information that may appear in this presentation include: our expectations regarding future world electricity consumption and costs; our expectations regarding the demand for nuclear energy, and the benefits of nuclear power; statements regarding uranium supply, demand, consumption, production, long-term contracting, prices and market conditions, the reasons for those expectations and the risks associated with them; our ability to respond to changing market conditions; our plans and outlook; production forecasts and other expectations regarding our uranium properties and our fuel services division; our investments in nuclear technology and services; mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates; the outcome of litigation or other disputes; and our market position and prospects for increasing shareholder value. The material risks that could cause actual results to vary include: uranium prices decline due to reduced demand for nuclear energy or other causes; we are not successfully able to manage our costs, risks and operations; we are adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates, interest rates, royalty rates, or tax rates; our production costs are higher than planned; necessary supplies are not available, or not available on commercially reasonable terms; our estimates of production, purchases, costs, cash flow, decommissioning, reclamation expenses, or our tax expense prove to be inaccurate; we are unable to enforce our legal rights under our existing agreements, permits or licences; we are subject to litigation or arbitration that has an adverse outcome; there are defects in, or challenges to, title to our properties; our mineral reserve and resource estimates are not reliable; there are unexpected or challenging geological, hydrological or mining conditions at uranium properties; we are affected by environmental, safety and regulatory risks, including increased regulatory burdens or delays; necessary permits or approvals from government authorities cannot be obtained or maintained; we are affected by political risks; we are affected by a widespread health crisis, terrorism, sabotage, blockades, civil unrest, social or political activism, accident or a deterioration in political support for, or demand for, nuclear energy; we are impacted by changes in the regulation or public perception of the safety of nuclear power plants; government regulations or policies that adversely affect us, including tax and trade laws and policies; our uranium or other suppliers or purchasers fail to fulfil commitments; development, mining or production plans are delayed or do not succeed for any reason; the nuclear technology or services we have invest in prove to be less profitable than we expect; the risk our estimates and forecasts prove to be inaccurate; the risk our strategies are unsuccessful or have unanticipated consequences; we are affected by natural phenomena, including inclement weather, fire, flood and earthquakes; operations are disrupted due to problems with facilities, the unavailability of reagents, equipment, operating parts and supplies critical to production, equipment failure, lack of tailings capacity, labour shortages, labour relations issues, strikes or lockouts, underground floods, cave-ins, ground movements, tailings dam failures, transportation disruptions or accidents, or other development and operating risks.
