Such forward-looking information may include, without limitation, statements regarding the completion of the Arrangement and the expected timing thereof and other statements that are not historical facts. Forward-looking information is based on a number of assumptions and estimates that, while considered reasonable by management based on the business and markets in which Cayden operates, are inherently subject to significant operational, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. Assumptions upon which forward looking information relating to the proposed transaction have been made include that Cayden and Agnico Eagle will be able to satisfy the conditions in the Arrangement Agreement and that no materially adverse change in respect of Cayden has occurred. Cayden cautions that forward-looking information involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause Cayden's actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such information, including, but not limited to: gold price volatility; fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and interest rates, between actual and estimated reserves and resources or between actual and estimated metallurgical recoveries; costs of production; capital expenditure requirements; the costs and timing of construction and development of new deposits and expansion of existing operations; the success of exploration and permitting activities; parts, equipment, labour or power shortages or other increases in costs; mining accidents, labour disputes or other adverse events; and changes in applicable laws or regulations. In addition, the factors described or referred to in the Company's Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2013, which is available on the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com, should be reviewed in conjunction with the information found in this press release. Although Cayden has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking information, there can be other factors that cause results, performance or achievements not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such information will prove to be accurate or that management's expectations or estimates of future developments, circumstances or results will materialize. As a result of these risks and uncertainties, the proposed transaction could be modified, restricted or not completed, and the results or events predicted in these forward looking statements may differ materially from actual results or events. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information.
