SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT

READER ADVISORIES
Forward-looking Statements. This presentation contains forward-looking statements and forward-looking information (collectively “forward-looking statements”) within the meaning of applicable securities laws. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “expects”, “continues”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “potential”, “belief” or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things: the economic potential of Rio2’s Cerro Maricunga Oxide Gold Project, the estimation of mineral resources and mineral reserves and realization of such mineral resources and mineral reserves, guidance on estimated annual production and cash costs, future performance, pre-feasibility estimates and optimization, timing for completion of studies, results of exploration, steps to development and timing, production decisions and timing, exploration upside, and permitting. Forward-looking statements are based on numerous assumptions regarding present and future business strategies and the environment in which Rio2 will operate in the future, including receipt of required permits, the price of gold, anticipated costs and ability to achieve goals. The forward-looking statements and information are based on the opinions, assumptions and estimates that management of Rio2 considered reasonable at the date the statements are made, and are inherently subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other known and unknown factors that could cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Rio2 to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking information, including the fluctuating price of gold; risks and uncertainties inherent in the preparation of estimates and studies, drill results and the estimation of mineral resources and mineral reserves; delays in obtaining or failure to obtain access to lands or required environmental permits or mine licenses, mine permits and regulatory approvals or non-compliance with such permits; risks inherent in mining, as well as those factors disclosed in Rio2’s publicly filed documents available at www.sedar.com including those set out in Rio2’s most recent annual information form and annual and interim management’s discussion and analysis. Although Rio2 has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated or estimated. Actual results, performance or achievement could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements and, accordingly, no assurance can be given that any of the events anticipated by the forward looking statements will transpire or occur, or if any of them do so, what benefits may be derived therefrom. Rio2 does not undertake to update any forward-looking information, except as, and to the extent required by, applicable securities laws. Forward-looking statements are made as of the date hereof, and accordingly, are subject to change after such date.
