Looking Forward

As the latest addition to the award-winning Metals Group of Companies, Cortus Metals Inc. (TSX-V: CRTS.P) will be a new project generator leveraging third-party spending to advance multiple projects with exceptional potential for making significant discoveries in north-central Nevada, the number-one ranked mining jurisdiction worldwide. Using innovative methods and proprietary data to identify large gold and silver deposits beneath shallow cover, Cortus is targeting a combination of both epithermal and Carlin-type gold and silver mineralization.

Cortus currently has 25+ projects under option with each one having the potential to host a deposit of +1M ounces. The project portfolio ranges in stages from grassroots to drill-ready with the most advanced being fully permitted and bonded. These projects are being painstakingly prioritized based on structural and geophysical interpretations, surface geochemical and geobotanical anomalies, and stratigraphic analysis of potential host rocks. Generally, they are located near operating mines or known deposits and some are on the same fault structure that is hosting the deposit. It is the mission of the Cortus team to advance these exploration projects to fruition.

Forward Looking Statements:

Certain statements and/or graphics in the Company’s press releases, web site information and corporate displays, among others, constitute “forward-looking statements”. These statements are based on information currently available to the Company and the Company provides no assurance that actual results will meet management’s expectations. Forward looking statements include estimates and statements that describe the Company’s future plans, objectives or goals, including words to the effect that the Company or management expects a stated condition or result to occur. Forward-looking statements may be identified by terms such as “believes”, “anticipates”, “expects”, “estimates”, “may”, “could”, “would”, “will”, or “plan”, or their conditional or future forms. Since forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties.

Actual results relating to, among other things, results of exploration, project development, reclamation and capital costs of the Company’s mineral properties, and the Company’s financial condition and prospects, could differ materially from those currently anticipated in such statements for many reasons such as: changes in general economic conditions and conditions in the financial markets; changes in demand and prices for minerals; litigation, legislative, environmental and other judicial, regulatory, political and competitive developments; technological and operational difficulties encountered in connection with the activities of the Company; and other matters discussed in this presentation. This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect any of the Company’s forward-looking statements. These and other factors should be considered carefully and readers should not place undue reliance on the Company’s forward-looking statements. The Company does not undertake to update any forward looking statement that may be made from time to time by the Company or on its behalf, except if required to do so by applicable securities laws. You are cautioned not to place any undue reliance on any forward-looking statement.

Forward Looking Statements or Information Related to Exploration:

Relating to exploration, the identification of exploration targets and any implied future investigation of such targets on the basis of specific geological, geochemical, geobotantical and geophysical evidence or trends are future-looking and subject to a variety of possible outcomes which may or may not include the discovery, or extension, or termination of mineralization. Further, areas around known mineralized intersections or surface showings may be marked by wording such as “open”, “untested”, “possible extension” or “exploration potential” or by symbols such as “?”. Such wording or symbols should not be construed as a certainty that mineralization continues or that the character of mineralization (e.g. grade or thickness) will remain consistent from a known and measured data point. The key risks related to exploration in general are that chances of identifying economical reserves are extremely small.

Information related to exploration may contain third-party historical data that have not been verified by Cortus Metals Inc. and may not be accurate or complete, and therefore the information should not be relied upon.

Michael Dufresne, M.Sc., P.Geol., P.Geo., an independent advisor of the Company, also serves as a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, responsible for reviewing and approving the technical content of all materials publicly disclosed by Cortus, including news releases, corporate presentations, fact sheets, and this website.
