Forward-looking statements and forward-looking information include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the terms and completion of the Transaction. Except for statements of historical fact relating to Nevada Vanadium and Flying Nickel, certain information contained herein constitutes forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are frequently characterized by words such as “anticipates,” “may,” “can,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “targets,” “intends,” “likely,” “will,” “should,” “to be”, “potential” and other similar words, or statements that certain events or conditions “may”, “should” or “will” occur, including, without limitation, that all conditions precedent to the Transaction will be met and the realization of the anticipated benefits derived therefrom for shareholders of Nevada Vanadium and Flying Nickel and the view on (i) the quality and the potential of Nevada Vanadium’s and Flying Nickel’s respective’ assets, (ii) the consideration offered to Nevada Vanadium’s shareholders, and (iii) the potential of the Resulting Issuer.

Many of these assumptions are based on factors and events that are not within the control of Nevada Vanadium and Flying Nickel, there is no assurance they will prove to be correct and are not guarantees of future performance and actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements.
Factors that could cause actual results to vary materially from results anticipated by such forward -looking statements include changes in market conditions; cash flow; risks relating to the availability and timeliness of regulatory and governmental approvals; shareholder approval of the Transaction; supply of, and demand for, battery metals such as Nickel and Vanadium; fluctuating commodity prices and currency exchange rates, the possibility of cost overruns or unanticipated costs and expenses, labour disputes and other risks of the mining industry.
These factors are discussed in greater detail in Flying Nickel’s most recent MD&A filed on SEDAR, which also provide additional general assumptions in connection with these statements, and in Nevada Vanadium’s most recent MD&A filed on SEDAR, which also provide additional general assumptions in connection with these statements.

Nevada Vanadium and Flying Nickel undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise except as required by applicable securities laws. The reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
