FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
Certain statements in this press release relating to the proposed Merger are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of securities legislation.  These statements include statements about the near and long term value of the company, future production by the company,  future exploration activities and advancement towards feasibility, commencement of underground development and production at Black Fox, open pit development at Black Fox, future valuation multiples and estimates of future cash flows, cash costs, operating costs, strip ratios, grades, mill capacities, recovery rates, mine life, capital expenditures, internal rates of return, and future development at the company’s properties. Brigus Gold does not intend, nor assume any obligation, to update these forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable securities laws. These forward-looking statements represent management's best judgment based on current facts and assumptions that management considers reasonable, including that all third party regulatory and governmental approvals to the Merger will be obtained and all other conditions to completion of the Merger will be satisfied or waived. Brigus Gold does not make any representation that reasonable business people in possession of the same information would reach the same conclusions. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the companies to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. In particular, fluctuations in the price of gold or in currency markets could prevent the companies from achieving their targets. Other factors are disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in documents filed by Brigus Gold’s predecessor companies, Apollo and Linear, from time to time with the Toronto Stock Exchange, the NYSE Amex Equities Exchange and, on SEDAR and with other regulatory authorities, including the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
 
The term "total cash cost" is a non-GAAP financial measure and is used on a per ounce of gold basis. Total cash cost is equivalent to direct operating cost as found on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and includes by-product credits for payable silver, lead, and zinc production. We have included total cash cost information to provide investors with information about the cost structure of our mining operations. This information differs from measures of performance determined in accordance with GAAP in Canada and in the United States and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. This measure is not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
 
CAUTIONARY NOTE TO US INVESTORS CONCERNING ESTIMATES OF MINERAL RESOURCES
 
This presentation uses the term mineral “resources”. We advise US investors that while the term is recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the US Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize it. US investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in this category will ever be converted into mineral reserves.
