MESSAGE FROM  
THE CHAIRMAN  
GRAHAM DICKSON

When I was appointed Chairman  
of Monument’s Board of Directors in  
February 2021, the world was in the 
middle of this unprecedented demanding  
time with the challenges of the Covid- 
19 global pandemic which has entirely 
changed the way we work and live.  
Vaccines are being distributed around the  
world and countries enacting stimulus 
plans to support weakened economies. 
Monument’s board has put the health 
and well-being of our employees and our  
communities to the forefront. We are 
navigating the pandemic together and 
working to manage risk in all parts of the  
operations to keep our business strong. 

I was extremely honored to be the  
successor to Robert Baldock. Mr. Baldock  
created a strong legacy for Monument 
and the board has always been aligned 
with his philosophy to build value 
through growth in the Company’s  
mineral property portfolio. I will diligently  
progress this culture, and we will be 
doing everything within our capacity to 
advance our value creation strategies, 
continue to strengthen the Company’s  
gold resource base, and protect  
shareholder equity. 

Over the past year, the Monument 
management team and employees 
have tirelessly worked together for the 
safety of our people and to successfully 
execute the business objectives. I want 
to offer my genuine appreciation to  
all Monument employees, who have  

displayed incredible stability, inner 
strength and understanding in response 
to the Covid-19 pandemic and the  
obstacles we faced together.         

measured, indicated and inferred 
resources to build out an early-stage 
production story for the already  
permitted plant and infrastructure. 

In fiscal 2021, the board wholeheartedly 
supported the corporate development 
strategies by management. The Company  
has streamlined operations by spinning 
out the Mengapur base metals project 
in Malaysia, and sold an 80% interest  
in the Tuckanarra gold property in 
Western Australia. The strengthened 
cash reserves allows us to fund the 
Selinsing Flotation Plant expansion  
and exploration of Murchison to support 
and implement the corporate strategy 

The first value creation strategy is to 
advance the Selinsing Sulphide Project 
into production through a two stage 
de-risking process. The first stage is  
the construction of a flotation plant to 
produce gold concentrates, and the 
cash generated from these sales will be 
used as construction funding for stage 
2; the BIOX® plant. Over the past 14 
years Selinsing has been the flagship 
project, with a dedicated operations 
team, and has an additional six-year life  
of mine for the sulphide project. 

The second value creation strategy is  
to develop the Murchison Gold Project 
into a cornerstone asset though a two-
year exploration program to potentially  
delineate additional ounces to increase  
the existing 381koz NI 43-101 compliant  

The third value creation strategy is to 
seek suitable gold asset acquisition  
targets to move Monument to a larger 
gold producer in order to build better 
market value for shareholders.  

Each one of these value creation  
strategies can provide an increase in  
the Company’s asset value and provides  
potential catalysts for re-rating the share 
price going forward into fiscal 2022 and 
beyond for our shareholders. Monument 
is open to all opportunities to optimize 
our future growth. 

Our Board is working hard to ensure that  
the Company’s successful track record 
continues and this year demonstrates 
we have the right team to conquer all 
the challenges the future may hold  
for our employees, communities and  
shareholders. 

Sincerely,                                                       

Graham DIckson 
Chairman

05    
MESSAGE FROM THE  
PRESIDENT & CEO  
CATHY ZHAI

In spite of the challenges of the Covid- 
19 pandemic on the world’s economy 
and its citizens, Monument and its 
people have responded quickly and 
effectively to safeguard our employees 
and support our communities as a top 
priority, and minimize production risk. 

By spinning out 100% of the Mengapur 
base metal project and 80% of the 
Tuckanarra property, we have made 
a breakthrough achievement in fiscal 
2021:  restructured our mineral portfolio 
with gold focus and liberated cash to 
support our ongoing corporate and  
gold projects. As of June 30, 2021, we 
established a solid financial position 
with over $38.62 million in cash and 
cash equivalents on hand; this increased  
liquidity improves the company’s credit 
profile and financial strength.  

Moving forward, we have laid the 
groundwork in the last quarter for the 
Company’s value creation strategies  
to build incremental gold resources and 
reserves, and increase the production 
profile through exploration, the plant 
expansion and disciplined acquisitions. 
The market reflects this increased  
value with a higher share price to  
benefit our shareholders comparing  
to the beginning of the year.  

A journey of a thousand miles  
starts beneath one’s feet. The Company 
is focused on implementing its three 
pronged development objectives: to 
establish the Murchison Gold Project as 
a cornerstone gold development project;  
to place the Selinsing sulphide project into  
production by implementing a two-stage  
approach; and to build the production  
profile through additional targeted 
acquisitions or other transactions in the 
gold sector. The corporate and projects 
development shall be reviewed from 
time to time accordingly upon changes 
in market conditions.   

Selinsing Gold Mine produced 10,282 
ounces of gold in 2021 from mining 
super-low grade ore, leachable sulphide 
ore and Peranggih materials for gross 
revenue of $23.24 million, a gross margin  
of $8.10 million and net cash from 
production of $4.81 million. This has 
brought our aggregated Selinsing Gold 
Mine production to 325,509 ounces at 
an average cost of $535 per ounce with 
gross revenue of $452.1 million, gross 
margin of $279.3 million and net cash 
from production of $275.0 million. Our 
corporate philosophy is “Can Do” and 
“Doer”. We are proud of our management  
and employees that their commitment 
and determination have continuously 
been winning the battle against Covid 
interruption of the operations, the  
transition to sulphide gold production 
from oxide production and so on.   

Development work at Selinsing  
prioritized flotation plant construction 
with both internal and external flotation  
testwork taking place, which has validated  
the design parameters to deliver  
marketable gold concentrates for sale  
in June 2021. Detailed engineering  
work and procurement are underway  
for construction.   

During 2021 we have increased drilling  
expenditures at Selinsing pits and 
Peranggih south and central to locate 
more economic oxide and leachable 
sulphide materials, expecting to sustain 
production to bridge the transition  
period. Peranggih production has made 
a noticeable contribution to revenue.  

The Murchison Project refocused  
on optimizing regional exploration 
targets and assessing the opportunity 
for early production to turn Murchison 
into a cornerstone project. The decision 
has been made to hold off early stage 
production based on the economic 
re-assessment completed during  

2021 which has been extensively 
reviewed by SRK and from geological 
interpretation work. 

The Company announced a 2 year  
exploration program in the fourth quarter,  
aiming to add significant additional 
resources to the current resource base.  
The strategy involves testing the  
high priority regional targets through 
Greenfield exploration at Burnakura and 
Gabanintha to discover shallow stand 
alone or satellite gold deposits, as  
well as testing down dip of high-grade 
mineralization underneath existing pits. 
In July 2021, subsequent to the year 
end, phase one drilling commenced in  
field. We will monitor the drilling programs  
very closely and announce our drill results  
as practical as possible to the market.    

Looking ahead to fiscal 2022, we will 
stay focused and persistent, and we will 
be open minded and be creative. I would 
like to take this opportunity to thank 
and acknowledge our employees and 
business partners for their alertness,  
teamwork, and strength they have shown  
during this very difficult year. And  
thank you to all our shareholders and 
stakeholders, and may everyone stay 
safe in 2022. Together we shall face the  
challenges of the Covid pandemic, uniting  
us as we continue on our successful 
path to advance our value creation 
strategies forward into the future.

Sincerely,    

Cathy Zhai 
President & CEO

In fiscal 2021 the gold price has had moderate  
volatility and remained relatively unchanged from a  
year ago. There have been geopolitical uncertainties  
that have affected gold’s short-term volatility, and 
as well world economies continue to use stimulus 
packages and the printing of money to revive  
their financial systems as a result of the Covid-19  
pandemic’s negative effects on financial economies.  
The continuation of these global trends into 2022 is  
the underpinning for a potentially stronger gold price.

GOLD PRODUCTION

EXPLORATION

The Selinsing Gold Mine produced 10,282 ounces in fiscal 2021 compared  
to 17,360 ounces in the previous year. The cash cost was $1,178 per 
ounce compared to $878 per ounce in the previous year. The average 
head grade was 0.84g/t Au from 1.11g/t Au in the previous fiscal year, 
and the mill feed was 579,569 tonnes down from 675,708 tonnes in 
the previous year mainly from transitional leachable sulphide ore from 
Selinsing pits blended with Peranggih oxide material, and old tailing 
materials. Ore mined was 427,528 tonnes compared to 263,074 tonnes 
for the previous fiscal year. Process recovery rate was 60.8% compared  
to 70.9% in the previous year. 

The Selinsing oxide materials are running to the end of the life cycle. 
The new life of mine production will be commencing upon completion 
of the flotation plant to supply marketable sulphide gold concentrates.

At the Selinsing Gold Mine the short-term  
exploration is focused on existing mine areas, 
such as Selinsing, Buffalo Reef South (BRS), 
BRC, and Buffalo Reef North (“BRN”), to locate 
more oxide and leachable sulphide ore through 
extensional drilling to increase mill feed for the 
current gold plant configuration. Opportunities 
for infill and extension drilling have also been 
verified on and around Selinsing Pits, particularly 
Pit 5 and Pit 6, aiming to intercept oxide shallow 
high-grade mineralization.  

A RC drilling program was completed at  
Selinsing which consisted of 1,128m over 19 
holes at Pits 4, 5, and 6. A total of 1,335 samples 
including 225 QAQC samples were assayed.  
The drill program aimed to identify and define 
mineralization areas with average grades that 
can be immediately mined economically in the 
current CIL plant. The main drilling target was 
the shallow dipping structure extension close  
to the east flank of the pits. The drilling program 
resulted with several significant intercepts. 

“The strategy at Selinsing is to  
  place the Sulphide Project into  
  production by implementing a  
  two-stage approach and deliver  
  flotation production in the  
  second quarter of 2022.” 

A RC drill program was undertaken at  
Peranggih to upgrade the grade and ounce  
of mineralized material from grade control  
drilling. The program consists of two phases 
with the first phase completed in April 2021  
with 1,697m drilled over 34 holes. The second 
phase drilling was interrupted by the mine  
closure and nationwide lockdown due to  
rising Covid-19 cases, with 420m over 9 holes 
completed and still in progress at yearend. Drill 
assays received from the Selinsing Mine lab 
showed moderate to high grade interceptions.

SELINSING GOLD MINE CONT.

DEVELOPMENT

The Selinsing Gold Mine continues  
to mine oxide and transition ore as  
preparation work is progressing for the  
transition from oxide gold production  
to sulphide gold production and to  
convert the current plant to one with  
a sulphide treatment circuit. Flotation 
plant construction has been prioritized  
as the first phase of the sulphide  
gold production.  

Development work during the year 
focused on improving the performance 
of flotation recoveries and optimization 
of the flotation plant conceptual design. 
Flotation testwork took place during the 
year both in-house and at the on-site 
metallurgical laboratory, which provided 
positive results. Additionally, independent  
off-site flotation testwork at Bureau 
Veritas Laboratory (“BV Lab”) in Perth 
Australia successfully replicated the 
positive on-site results subsequent to 
the yearend. BV Lab testwork included  
samples from diamond drilling at Buffalo  
Reef pits BRC2, BRC3, BRC4 and BR 
North and proved that the Selinsing  
on-site laboratory test results are  
repeatable in a commercial laboratory 

for fresh and transition ore. BV Lab fresh  
ore results reported gold concentrate at 
an average 34 g/t at a gold recovery in 
the low to mid-90s percent and transition  
ore had an average concentrate gold 
grade of 42.5 g/ with gold recoveries 
between 80-82 percent. 

Based on the successful test results, 
Orway Mineral Consultants (“OMC”) 
was engaged to modify and optimize 
the flotation conceptual engineering 
design based on the Snowden feasibility 
study work (February 2019), in order to 
produce salable gold concentrates as 
the first stage of the Sulphide treatment 
plant expansion strategy. This Sulphide  
Flotation Circuit Design includes flotation  
testwork parameters, process design 
criteria, circuit modelling, engineering 
design brief and consumables estimates.  
Subsequent to the yearend, Minecore 
Pty Ltd advanced the detailed engineering  
design. Layout of the new flotation plant 
has been completed, including the trash 
screen, conditioners, rougher, scavenger 
and cleaner flotation cells, concentrate 
and water recovery thickeners and  
filter press. Procurement of long lead  

equipment is well advanced with 
quotations received for flotation cells, 
thickeners, blowers, compressors and 
filter presses. 

At Selinsing, additional development 
work was carried out including: an  
underground mining desktop study, 
Tailing Storage Facility (“TSF”) lift 
construction to 540m RL, and mining 
cutback and testwork for oxide mining 
assessment at Peranggih.

14 MURCHISON GOLD PROJECT

The Murchison Gold Projects comprises the 
Burnakura, Gabanintha as well the Tuckanarra 
property in which Monument has a 20%  
free carry interest. All are located within the  
Murchison Mineral Field, which is a highly  
prospective historical gold province within  
the Murchison District of Western Australia.

At the Burnakura site there is a fully operational 260k tonne per annum gold 
processing plant, a developed mine camp, and all necessary infrastructures.  
The Murchison properties include a number of open pit and underground  
opportunities with current and historical resources that are prospective for 
resource extension and regional exploration potential. The Company has  
systematically been endeavoring to convert the historical resources into  
current resources under NI43-101 standards. In addition, a new exploration  
program has commenced to potentially discover new resources on high  
quality structural gold targets to potentially increase the current resources  
and improve the economics for a gold production operation.

DEVELOPMENT

At Murchison, development work focused on optimizing  
regional exploration to test new high quality structural  
targets beneath cover for potential mineralization that may 
lead to the identification of shallow stand alone or satellite 
gold deposits to supplement the current resource base, as 
well as assess the opportunity for early production.  

The mine plan was completed by management and the  
independent review conducted by SRK Consulting (“SRK”) was  
received with recommendations. The scope of the SRK review  
was extended to cover geotechnics, hydrology, environmental  
compliance, as well as resource modelling, mining optimization 
and scheduling, and metallurgical recoveries. 

Tuckanarra Joint Venture (“JV”)

In October 2020 Monument entered into a JV arrangement 
with Odyssey Gold Ltd. (“Odyssey”) to advance the Tuckanarra 
Gold Project, and in December 2020 sold an 80% interest in 
Tuckanarra to Odyssey for AUD$5 million subject to certain 
conditions, leaving Monument with a 20% free carried interest  
and a 1% NSR royalty over Odyssey’s 80% interest in the property.  
Odyssey will be solely responsible for funding the exploration 
and evaluation activities at Tuckanarra until a decision to mine 
is reached. The future processing of ore from tenements held 
by Odyssey through the Burnakura plant remains an option 
should commercial terms be reached. 

“ The strategy at Murchison is to explore  
  for new gold resources to increase and  
	 define	the	Resource	and	improve	the 	 
  economics of the project, towards the  
  goal of establishing Murchison as a  
  cornerstone project.”

EXPLORATION

The Company commenced work on a 
2-year exploration strategy designed 
to test beneath cover for potential 
mineralization that is aimed to lead to 
the discovery of shallow stand alone 
or satellite gold deposits aiming to add 
significant additional resources to the 
current resource base. The strategy will 
involve testing down dip of high-grade 
mineralization underneath existing pits 
as well as test some of the high priority 
regional targets through Greenfield 
exploration of the land package at  
Burnakura and Gabanintha. 

An evaluation is being done on the  
potential for the 170km2 highly  
prospective land holding to host such 
a gold system examining: structurally 
targeted extensional drilling along  
strike and beneath the known deposits,  
geochemical anomalous zones of  
outcropping mineralized systems  
previously identified through soil 
sampling and drilling, and geophysical 
and remote sensing data for structural 
targets beneath shallow cover. 

M O N U M E N T   M I N I N G   A N N U A L   R E P O R T

2 0 21

A large proportion of the Murchison 
Gold Project land holding has limited 
outcropping prospective Archean  
Greenstone geology with a younger 
cover sequence of Tertiary lateritic 
material and transported sheet wash 
ranging from 1 metre to 20 metres thick 
concealing the bedrock resulting in 
these areas having not effectively been 
explored despite having prospective 
host lithologies and structural settings.  

Subsequent to the yearend, the  
Company commenced the first  
stage of drilling, planning for 18,000 
metres combined AC and RC drilling.  
Drill targets include: south-southwest 
of Munro Bore to test the mineralization 
system, Banderol South to test if  
the trend continues south from the  
Banderol open pit, Junction Area to  
better define basement geology and 
test beneath cover. 

To aid this exploration strategy the 
Company is integrating and evaluating 
historical data (geology, geophysical, 
and geochemical) collected by various 
companies over the past 50 years to 
identify high potential target areas distal 
to known deposits or beneath cover. The 
targeted areas are to be evaluated as 
part of this ongoing exploration program  
using on the ground exploration  
techniques including soil sampling, 
aircore “AC” drilling, reverse circulation 
(“RC”) drilling, and geological mapping 
as appropriate to test for indications of 
significant gold mineralization.

19 SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

M O N U M E N T   M I N I N G   A N N U A L   R E P O R T

In the fiscal year, our communities  
were under continuous threat from the  
Covid-19 pandemic and we put our  
employee safety as priority number one  
and as a result local social activities  
were limited. In Malaysia, a nationwide  
standard operating procedure (“SOP”) 
for dealing with the pandemic was  
imposed, including physical distancing,  
temperature screening, regular testing 
and contact tracing. Public schools 
were closed, and education was focused  
on online learning. With strict SOP and 
limited social programs, the communities  
surrounding the Selinsing gold mine 
recorded very few positive cases. 

The Selinsing Gold Mine has hosted an 
internship program for students from 
the institute of higher learning annually, 
however due to the pandemic situation 
the educational and third-party visits 
were halted in the first half of 2021, but  
will continue when such time as the 
Covid-19 situation improves to the point  
where these internship visits can take 
place safely. During this pandemic period,  
support has been given to the front 
line workers, community policing and 
contributions to those directly affected 
by the pandemic.

During the 4th quarter of fiscal 2021, 
the operations for Selinsing Gold Mine 
were affected by the mine shutdown 
from May 22nd until May 30th 2021, by 
the Ministry of Health for sanitization 
purposes caused by three Selinsing 
staff that were infected by the Covid-19 
virus as well as broader measures by 
the Malaysian National Security Council 
that imposed lockdowns from June 1st 
until July 4th 2021 for all non-essential 
business that includes the mining and 
mineral processing industry. 

Critical maintenance work was allowed 
to be carried out during the lockdown 
period including: mine slope maintenance  
and repair, process plant and TSF 
upkeep, environmental monitoring, and 
mitigation work. The process plant was 
allowed to be in warm-idling mode with 
scheduled inspections and repair work, 
and workforce capacity was reduced 
to 10%. The environmental monitoring 

program, water sampling, detoxification,  
and maintenance of the silt trap were 
carried out to ensure the site was safe 
and well looked after during the shutdown  
period. At a later stage in the lockdown, 
the Mineral Geosciences Department 
allowed 50 personnel to be working  
at the site to undertake critical  
maintenance work.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT  
REGARDING FORWARD  
LOOKING STATEMENTS

This  annual  report  includes  statements  con-
taining  forward-looking  statements  or  for-
ward-looking 
information  under  applicable 
Canadian  securities  laws  (hereinafter  collec-
tively  referred  to  as  “forward-looking  state-
ments”)  about  Monument,  its  business  and 
future  plans.  Forward-looking  statements  are 
statements  regarding  possible  events,  condi-
tions or financial performance that are based 
on assumptions about future economic condi-
tions and courses of action and include expec-
tations, plans, objectives or future events that 
are not historical facts.   

Statements  concerning  estimates  of  mineral 
resources  and  mineral  reserves  may  also  be 
deemed  to  constitute  forward-looking  state-
ments to the extent that they involve estimates 
of the mineralization that will be encountered 
if  a  property  is  developed,  and  in  the  case  of 
mineral reserves, such statements reflect the 
conclusion  based  on  certain  assumptions 
that  the  mineral  deposit  can  be  economical-
ly  exploited.  Any  statements  that  express  or 
involve  discussions  with  respect  to  predic-
tions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, 
objectives,  assumptions  or  future  events  or 
performance  (often,  but  not  always,  using 
forward-looking  terminology  such  as  "plans", 
"expects"  or  "does  not  expect",  "is  expected", 
"budget",  "scheduled",  "estimates",  "forecasts", 
"intends", "anticipates" or "does not anticipate", 
or "believes", or variations of such words and 
phrases  or  state  that  certain  actions,  events 
or  results  "may",  "could",  "would",  "might"  or 
"will be taken", "occur" or "be achieved") are not 
statements of historical fact and may be for-
ward-looking statements.  

Forward-looking  statements  in  this  annual 
report  include,  without  limitation,  statements 
related  to:    the  Company’s  expectations  re-
garding future gold production at the Selinsing 
Gold  Mine;  the  ability  of  the  Company  to  ad-
vance exploration and development properties 
into  commercial  production;  the  results  of 
testing  gold  and  copper  recovery  technolo-
gies;  completion  of  technical  reports  on  the 
Company’s projects and the timing and results 
thereof; timing, costs and potential success of 
future activities on the Company's properties, 
including  but  not  limited  to  development  and 
operating costs in the event that a production 
decision is made; potential success of explora-
tion,  development  and  environmental  protec-
tion  and  remediation  activities;    and  all  other 
plans for mining, development and exploration 
on  the  Company's  properties  and  the  timing 
and results thereof.   

The forward-looking statements in this annual 
report  are  subject  to  various  risks,  uncertain-
ties and other factors that could cause actual 
results  or  achievements  to  differ  materially 
from  those  expressed  or  implied  by  the  for-
ward-looking  statements.    These  risks  and 
certain  other  factors  include,  without  limita-
tion: risks related to gold, base metal and other 
commodity price fluctuations; risks related to 
general business, economic, competitive, geo-
political and social uncertainties; uncertainties 
in testing gold and copper recovery technolo-
gies that have not been proven in the field; un-
certainties  inherent  in  economic  studies  and 
resource  estimates;  uncertainties  regarding 
the  results  and  timing  of  current  exploration 
activities;  uncertainties  in  the  progress  and 

timing of development activities and the pos-
sibility that future exploration, development or 
mining results will not be consistent with the 
Company’s  expectations  and/or  the  results 
of  initial  feasibility,  prefeasibility  and  feasi-
bility  studies,  including  those  related  to  the 
interpretation of drill results, and the geology, 
grade and continuity of mineral deposits; for-
eign operations risks, including risks related to 
changes in mining license rights, tax rates and 
government royalty requirements; risks related 
to the ability to obtain financing required to de-
velop mining properties or to complete signif-
icant  technical,  environmental  or  engineering 
studies; risks related to foreign exchange fluc-
tuations; risks related to environmental regula-
tion  and  liability;  risks  associated  with  failure 
to  maintain  community  acceptance,  agree-
ments  and  permissions  (generally  referred  to 
as  “social  license”);  risks  related  to  the  out-
come  of  legal  actions,  including  any  ongoing 
legal litigation; other risks inherent in the min-
ing industry, including political and regulatory 
risks, and other risks and uncertainties related 
to  the  Company’s  prospects,  properties  and 
business  strategy,  including  those  described 
in the management discussion and analysis of 
the Company and the technical reports on the 
Company’s projects, which are available under 
the profile of the Company on SEDAR at www.
sedar.com.   

Material  factors  and  assumptions  used  to 
develop  forward-looking  statements  in  this 
annual report include:  general economic fac-
tors  and  other  factors  that  may  be  beyond 
the  control  of  Monument  will  not  change  in 
a  materially  adverse  manner;  the  results  of 
exploration on the Company’s projects will be 
as  expected;  the  future  price  of  gold  or  other 
minerals will be sustained, or will improve; the 
expected  timing  and  results  of  development 
and exploration activities of the Company will 
not differ material from management's expec-
tations;  costs  of  future  activities  will  be  as 
expected;  capital  and  operating  expenditures 
will  be  as  expected;  exploration,  mining  and 
processing activities will be viable operational-
ly and economically and proceed as expected; 
political  matters  in  Malaysia  and  other  juris-
dictions  in  which  the  Company  does  or  may 
carry on business in the future will be stable, 
and that mining rights, tax rates, and govern-
ment  royalty  regimes  in  those  jurisdictions 
will  not  undergo  significant  change;  and  all 
of  the  factors  and  assumptions  described  in 
the  management  discussion  and  analysis  of 
the Company and the technical reports on the 
Company’s projects, all of which are available 
under the profile of the Company on SEDAR at 
www.sedar.com.   

Although the Company has attempted to iden-
tify important factors that could cause actual 
results  to  differ  materially  from  those  con-
tained  in  forward-looking  statements,  there 
may  be  other  factors  that  cause  results  not 
to  be  as  anticipated,  estimated  or  intended. 
Should  one  or  more  of  these  risks  and  un-
certainties  materialize,  or  should  underlying 
assumptions  prove  incorrect,  actual  results 
may  vary  materially  from  those  described  in 
forward-looking  statements.  There  can  be  no 
assurance  that  such  statements  will  prove 
to  be  accurate,  as  actual  results  and  future 
events could differ materially from those antic-
ipated  in  such  statements.  Accordingly,  read-
ers  should  not  place  undue  reliance  on  for-
ward-looking statements. The Company does 
not  undertake  to  update  any  forward-looking 
statements,  except  in  accordance  with  appli-
cable securities laws.
