CAUTIONARY LANGUAGE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This news release discusses items that may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of securities laws and that involve risks and uncertainties. Such statements include those with respect to the completion of the acquisition of Gryphon's properties (the "Properties") and share issuances to be made. Although Algold believes in light of the experience of its officers and directors, current conditions and expected future developments and other factors that have been considered appropriate that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, they can give no assurances that those expectations will be achieved and actual results may differ materially from those contemplated in the forward-looking statements and information. Such assumptions, which may prove incorrect, include that the acquisition of the Properties will obtain all required regulatory approvals and that Gryphon will complete the sale of the Properties. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations include Algold's inability to obtain the required approvals or Gryphon's refusal to proceed, for whatever reason, either on a timely basis or at all. These factors and others are more fully discussed in Algold's filings with Canadian securities regulatory authorities available at www.sedar.com.
