technical, and economic studies are required before Mont Royal will be in a position to estimate
any Ore Reserves or to provide assurance of an economic development case.

and any future work programs may not be completed as proposed or at all; geological
interpretations based on drilling that may change with more detailed information; potential
process methods and mineral recoveries assumptions based on limited test work and by
comparison to what are considered analogous deposits that, with further test work, may not be
comparable; testing of our process may not prove successful or samples derived from the Ashram
Project may not yield positive results, and even if such tests are successful or initial sample results
are positive, the economic and other outcomes may not be as expected; the anticipated market
demand for rare earth elements and other minerals may not be as expected; the availability of
