Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Information

Certain information in this news release, including information about the Company's financial or operating performance
and other statements expressing management's expectations or estimates of future events, performance and exploration

always, are identified by words such as "seek", "believe", "expect", "do not expect", "will", "will
not", "intend", "estimate", "anticipate", "plan", "schedule" and similar expressions of a conditional or future
oriented nature identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are, necessarily, based upon a number
of estimates and assumptions. While considered, by management, to be reasonable in the context in which they are made
forward-looking statements are inherently subject to political, legal, regulatory, business and economic risks and
competitive uncertainties and contingencies.

The Company cautions readers that forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other
factors that may cause Minera IRL's actual financial results, future performance and results of exploration and

or achievements and that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, results or achievements.

Forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this news release and Minera IRL assumes no obligation, except
as may be required by law, to update or revise them to reflect new events or circumstances. Risks, uncertainties and
contingencies and other factors that might cause actual performance to differ from forward-looking statements include,
but are not limited to, changes in the price of precious metals and commodities, changes in the relative exchange
rates of the US dollar against the Peruvian nuevo sol and the Argentinean peso, interest rates, legislative,
political, social or economic developments both within the countries in which the Company operates and in general,
contests over title to property, the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development, operating or technical
difficulties in connection with the Company's development or exploration programs, increasing costs as a result of
inflation or scarcity of human resources and input materials or equipment. Known and unknown risks inherent in the
mining business include potential uncertainties related to the title of mineral claims, the accuracy of mineral
reserve and resource estimates, metallurgical recoveries, capital and operating costs and the future demand for
