Forward-Looking Information: This news
release includes certain "forward-looking information" and
"forward-looking statements" (collectively, "forward-looking
statements") within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities
legislation. All statements in this news release that address
events or developments that we expect to occur in the future are
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are
statements that are not historical facts and are generally,
although not always, identified by words such as "expect", "plan",
"anticipate", "project", "target", "potential", "schedule",
"forecast", "budget", "estimate", "intend" or "believe" and similar
expressions or their negative connotations, or that events or
conditions "will", "would", "may", "could", "should" or "might"
occur. All such forward-looking statements are based on the
opinions and estimates of management as of the date such statements
are made. Although Finlay believes the expectations expressed in
such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable
assumptions, such statements are not guarantees of future
performance and actual results or developments may differ
materially from those forward-looking statements. Factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those in
forward-looking statements include market prices, exploration
successes, and continued availability of capital and financing and
general economic, market or business conditions. These
forward-looking statements are based on a number of assumptions
including, among other things, assumptions regarding general
business and economic conditions, the timing and receipt of
regulatory and governmental approvals, the ability of Finlay and
other parties to satisfy stock exchange and other regulatory
requirements in a timely manner, the availability of financing for
Finlay's proposed transactions and programs on reasonable terms,
and the ability of third party service providers to deliver
services in a timely manner. Investors are cautioned that any such
statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual
results or developments may differ materially from those projected
in the forward-looking statements. Finlay does not assume any
