Consolidating Micro Caps, Exploiting Quality Assets
Certain statements contained in this Presentation constitute forward-looking statements or information (collectively "forward-looking statements") within the meaning of applicable securities legislation. All statements otherthan statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are often, but not always, identified by the use of words such as "seek", "anticipate", “opinion", "continue", "estimate", "expect","may", "will", "project", "predict", "potential", "targeting", "intend", "could", "might", "should", "believe", “plans” and similar expressions. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factorsfacing the Corporation. Risks, uncertainties and other factors may be beyond the Corporation's control and may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements.Canamax believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, but no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct and such forward-looking statementsincluded in this Presentation should not be unduly relied upon by investors. These statements speak only as at the date of this Presentation and are expressly qualified, in their entirety, by this cautionary statement. Inparticular, this Presentation contains forward-looking statements pertaining to the following: future plans and operations; reserve estimates; expectations of initial and future production; cash flow; capital expenditures;production targets; drilling inventory; netbacks; development potential; production acquisition costs; and acquisitions.
With respect to forward-looking statements contained in this Presentation, Canamax has made assumptions regarding, among other things, results of future operations, the legislative and regulatory environments of thejurisdictions where Canamax carries on business or has operations, the impact of increasing competition and Canamax’s ability to obtain additional financing on satisfactory terms. Canamax’s actual results could differmaterially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of the risk factors included in this Presentation such as: the impact of general economic conditions; industry conditions; volatility in the marketprices for natural gas and crude oil; currency fluctuations; uncertainties associated with estimating reserves; geological, technical, drilling and processing problems; liabilities and risks, including environmental liabilities andrisks inherent in natural gas and crude oil operations; stock market volatility; the ability to access sufficient capital; incorrect assessments of the value of acquisitions; and, competition for, among other things, capital,acquisition of reserves, undeveloped lands, equipment, services and skilled personnel.
This forward-looking information represents Canamax’s views as at the date of this Presentation and such information should not be relied upon as representing its views as of any date subsequent to the date of thisPresentation. Canamax has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results, performance or achievements to vary from those current expectations or estimates expressed or implied by the forward-looking information. However, there may be other factors that cause results, performance or achievements not to be as expected or estimated and that could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differmaterially from current expectations. There can be no assurance that forward-looking information will prove to be accurate, as results and future events could differ materially from those expected or estimated in suchstatements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information.
The forward-looking statements contained in this Presentation speak only as of the date of this Presentation. Canamax does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whetheras a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless required by applicable securities laws.
Undue reliance should not be placed on management's assessment of reserve estimates, resource potential and initial and potential production rates. All references to such information contained herein are based uponinternal targets as prepared by management of Canamax and are not an estimate of reserves, resources or of production rates that may actually be achieved. Such information has been provided to assist the reader inunderstanding certain principal factors upon which management has relied in making capital investment decisions and for internal budget preparation. Reserve potential information provided in this Presentation includes bothdiscovered and undiscovered resources and recoverable reserve characteristics, and there is no certainty that any portion of the undiscovered resources will be discovered and, if discovered, that any volumes would beeconomically viable or technically feasible to recover or produce. Undue reliance should not be placed on estimates of reserve potential in terms of assuming Canamax's reserves or recoverable resources. All estimates ofreserve potential contained herein are based upon internal estimates of management of Canamax.
This Presentation contains references to Original Oil in Place ("OOIP") which is equivalent to estimates of oil and gas classified as Discovered Petroleum initially in Place ("DPIP") which are not, and should not be confused withoil and gas reserves. "Discovered Petroleum Initially in Place" is defined in the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook (the "COGE Handbook") as the quantity of hydrocarbons that are estimated, as of a given date, to becontained in known accumulations. DPIP is divided into recoverable and unrecoverable portions, with the estimated future recoverable portion classified as reserves and Contingent Resources, as defined in the COGEHandbook. There is no certainty that it will be economically viable or technically feasible to produce any portion of the DPIP except to the extent identified as proved or probable reserves. Resources do not constitute, andshould not be confused with, reserves. It should be noted that given the current early stage of development of Canamax's properties, estimates of DPIP potential might change significantly in the future with furtherdevelopment activity and the amount of Contingent Resources has yet to be estimated. The resource potential estimates provided herein are estimates only and the actual resources may be greater than or less than theestimates provided herein. A recovery project cannot be defined for these volumes of DPIP at this time. There is no certainty that it will be economically viable or technically feasible to produce any portion of these potentialresources.
The information contained in this Presentation does not purport to be all-inclusive or to contain all information that a prospective investor may require. Prospective investors are encouraged to conduct their own analysis andreviews of Canamax and of the information contained in this Presentation and the public record. Without limitation, prospective investors should consider the advice of their financial, legal, accounting, tax and other advisorsand such other factors they consider appropriate in investigating and analyzing Canamax. Additional information relating to Canamax is available on the Canadian System for Electronic Document and Analysis and Retrieval(“SEDAR”) at www.sedar.com
Any financial outlook or future-oriented financial information, as defined by applicable securities legislation, has been approved by management of Canamax. Such financial outlook or future-oriented financial information isprovided for the purpose of providing information about management's current expectations and plans relating to the future. Readers are cautioned that reliance on such information may not be appropriate for otherpurposes.
