These include statements regarding Contango&#39;s plans and expectations for its properties and operations, the content within future annual filings, operations in respect of Contango mineral properties and any benefits of investment in Contango. Such statements are based on Contango&#39;s current expectations and include statements regarding future results of operations, quality and nature of the asset base, the assumptions upon which estimates are based and other expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions, strategies or statements about future events or performance (often, but not always, using words such as &#34;expects&#34;, &#34;projects&#34;, &#34;anticipates&#34;, &#34;plans&#34;, &#34;estimates&#34;, &#34;intends&#34;, &#34;believes&#34;, &#34;ensures&#34;, &#34;forecasts&#34;, &#34;predicts&#34;, &#34;proposes&#34;, &#34;contemplates&#34;, &#34;aims&#34;, &#34;seeks&#34;, &#34;continues&#34;, &#34;potential&#34;, &#34;positioned&#34;, &#34;strategy&#34;, &#34;outlook&#34;, &#34;future&#34;, &#34;going forward&#34;, &#34;designed to&#34;, and similar expressions or other words of similar meaning, and the negatives thereof, or stating that certain actions, events or results &#34;may&#34;, &#34;might&#34;, &#34;will&#34;, &#34;should&#34;, &#34;would&#34;, or &#34;could&#34; be taken, or that they are &#34;possible&#34;, &#34;probable&#34;, or &#34;likely&#34; to occur or be achieved). However, the absence of these words does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections that involve a number of risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in the statements. These risks include, but are not limited to: the risks of the exploration and the mining industry (for example, operational risks in exploring for and developing mineral reserves); risks and uncertainties involving geology; the speculative nature of the mining industry; the uncertainty of estimates and projections relating to future production, costs and expenses; the volatility of natural resources prices, including prices of gold and associated minerals; the existence and extent of commercially exploitable minerals in properties acquired by Contango or the Peak Gold JV; ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the Peak Gold JV; potential delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures; the interpretation of exploration results and the estimation of mineral resources; the loss of key employees or consultants; health, safety and environmental risks; risks related to weather and other natural disasters; uncertainties as to the availability and cost of financing; Contango&#39;s inability to retain or maintain its relative ownership interest in the Peak Gold JV; inability to realize expected value from acquisitions; inability of our management team to execute its plans to meet its goals; the extent of disruptions caused by an outbreak of disease, such as the COVID-19 pandemic; and the possibility that government policies may change, political developments may occur or governmental approvals may be delayed or withheld, including as a result of presidential and congressional elections in the U.S. or the inability to obtain mining permits. Additional information on these and other factors which could affect Contango&#39;s operations or financial results are included in Contango&#39;s other reports on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Investors are cautioned that any forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from the projections in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on the estimates and opinions of management at the time the statements are made. Contango does not assume any obligation to update forward-looking statements should circumstances or management&#39;s estimates or opinions change.</p>
