Forward looking statements are statements that are not historical facts and are generally, but not always, identified by the words "expects", "plans", "anticipates", "believes", "intends", "estimates", "projects", "potential", "scheduled" and similar expressions or variations (Including negative variations), or that events or conditions "will", "would", "may", "could" or "should" occur including, without limitation, that all conditions precedent to the transaction will be met and the realization of the anticipated benefits deriving therefrom for shareholders of the Corporations, the view on (i) the quality and the potential of the Corporations’ assets, production forecasts for properties in which the corporation holds a royalty. Although the Corporations believe the expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors and are not guarantees of future performance and actual results may accordingly differ materially from those in forward looking statements. Factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include, without limitation: fluctuations in the prices of the commodities that drive royalties held by the Corporations; fluctuations in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar; risks related to the operators of the properties in which the Corporations hold a royalty; development, permitting, infrastructure, operating or technical difficulties on any of the properties in which the Corporations hold a royalty or other interest; rate and timing of production differences from resource estimates or production forecasts by operators of properties in which the Corporations hold a royalty or other interest; risks and hazards associated with the business of exploring, development and mining on any of the properties in which the Corporations hold a royalty or other interest, including, but not limited to unusual or unexpected geological and metallurgical conditions, slope failures or cave-ins, flooding and other natural disasters or civil unrest; regulatory changes by national and local government, including corporate law, permitting and licensing regimes and taxation policies; regulations and political or economic developments in any of the countries where properties in which the Corporations hold a royalty or other interest are located or through which they are held); continued availability of capital and financing and general economic, market or business conditions; business opportunities that become available to, or are pursued by the Corporations; the impossibility to acquire royalties and to fund precious metal streams; other uninsured risks.
