Safe
Harbor Statement
Information
provided in this report on Form 8-K (including the exhibit hereto) may contain
statements relating to current expectations, estimates, forecasts and
projections about future events that are "forward-looking statements" as defined
in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These
forward-looking statements generally relate to the Company's plans, objectives
and expectations for future operations, including Thompson Creek’s planned
expenditures on the Mt. Emmons project in 2010, and are based upon management's
current estimates and projections of future results or trends. Actual future
results may differ materially from those projected as a result of certain risks
and uncertainties such as changes in plans at Thompson Creek, future trends in
molybdenum prices, governmental regulatory issues, availability of capital and
competitive factors. For further discussion of these and other risks
and uncertainties, see the "Risk Factors" disclosures in the Company's Form 10-K
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 2009, and
subsequent Forms 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
These
forward-looking statements are made only as of the date hereof. We
undertake no obligation to update or revise the forward-looking statements,
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
