Forward-Looking Statements --------------------------
Forward-looking statements included or incorporated by reference in this document include statements with respect to (i) the election of Blue Note's nominees to Gold Hawk's board of directors; (ii) Blue Note's assets, financial position, management team, production targets and business plans following the Offer (if any); (iii) the benefits to the shareholders of Gold Hawk and Blue Note that may result from the Offer; and (iv) Blue Note's business plans if the Offer is successfully completed. Although Blue Note believes the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, they can give no assurances that these expectations will be achieved. Such assumptions, which may prove incorrect, include the following: (i) advancing the Croinor gold project can be achieved without unforeseen delays or expenses, (ii) Gold Hawk has no undisclosed material liabilities (and there are no undisclosed material facts about Gold Hawk) that would have a material adverse effect on Blue Note's ability to implement its business plan if the combination of Blue Note and Gold Hawk is completed, (iii) the price of gold will remain sufficiently high and the costs of advancing the Croinor gold project sufficiently low so as to permit Blue Note to pursue its business plan in a profitable manner, (iv) the Croinor gold project conforms in all material respects with the reports prepared under NI43-101 with respect to that deposit and (v) that the payments that Gold Hawk may be required to make to its President, VP of finance and VP projects (the "Officers") under the change of control provisions in their employment agreements (if those provisions are enforceable) will not unduly burden Gold Hawk's financial resources. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations include the failure of Blue Note's nominees to win election, the success or failure of the Offer, the effects of general economic conditions, the price of metals, actions by government or regulatory authorities (including approval of Blue Note's acquisition of Gold Hawk by the TSX Venture Exchange), uncertainties associated with contract negotiations, additional financing requirements, market acceptance of the products of Blue Note or Gold Hawk, competitive pressures and the enforceability of the provisions in the employment agreements of the Officers purporting to award severance payments in case of their departure following a change of control in Gold Hawk. These factors and others are more fully discussed in the filings with Canadian securities regulatory authorities of Blue Note, including Blue Note's proxy circular that will shortly be sent to Gold Hawk's shareholders and available at www.sedar.com.
