FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS:
The BLUESCOUT website contains statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” or “forward-looking information” (collectively, “forward-looking statements”) within the meaning of applicable securities legislation. These statements include, among others, estimates of production and operations or financial performance; estimates and prices of future sales; business plans for drilling, exploration and development; the estimated amounts and timing of capital expenditures; estimates of operating costs; business strategy and plans or budgets; royalty rates and exchange rates; and other expectations, beliefs, plans, goals, objectives, assumptions, information and statements about possible future events, conditions, results of operations or performance. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements use words or phrases such as: “expects”, “does not expect” or “is expected”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate”, “plans” or “planned”, “estimates” or “estimated”, “projects” or “projected”, “forecasts” or “forecasted”, “believes”, “intends”, “likely”, “possible”, “probable”, “scheduled”, “positioned”, “goal”, “objective” or state that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved.

Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections that involve a number of risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by BLUESCOUT. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Forward-looking statements are based on a number of assumptions which may prove to be incorrect, including, but not limited to: uncertainties as to the availability and cost of financing and changes in capital markets; uncertainties related to the litigation process; changes in general economic and business conditions; the possibility that government policies or laws may change or governmental approvals may be delayed or withheld; results of BLUESCOUT’s risk mitigation strategies, including insurance and any hedging programs; BLUESCOUT’s ability to implement its business strategy; customer interest in the services and products of BLUESCOUT; competition; and anticipated and unanticipated costs. We caution that the foregoing list of risks and uncertainties is not exhaustive. Additional information on these and other factors which could affect BLUESCOUT’s operations or financial results are included in BLUESCOUT’s most recent regulatory filings. You can access these filings from the BLUESCOUT Website. In addition, information is available in BLUESCOUT’s other reports on file with Canadian securities regulatory authorities at www.sedar.com.

Forward-looking statements are based on the estimates and opinions of BLUESCOUT’s management at the time the statements are made. While BLUESCOUT anticipates that subsequent events and developments may occur, it does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements contained on the BLUESCOUT Website, except as required by law. Recipients should not place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. Neither BLUESCOUT nor any of its affiliates, or any of their directors, officers, securityholders, employees, partners, representatives or agents, make any representations or warranties as to the accuracy or reasonableness of any assumptions in the forward-looking statements.
