Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Information

Certain information in this news release, including information about Company management and operating
performance and other statements expressing management's expectations or estimates of future events,
performance and exploration and development programs or plans constitute "forward-looking statements". Forward-
looking statements often, but not 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 development programs and plans to be materially different than those expected or estimated
future results, performance 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, difficulties in respect of management of the Company, any
failure to obtain or complete project financing for the Ollachea gold project, 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 minerals. For additional information, please consult the Company's most recently filed MD&A and
Annual Information Form.
