1、ICMM Mine Tailings SummitReduceSEPTEMBER 2024LUKE VOLLERT PRINCIPAL PROCESS ENGINEERCautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements,Including OutlookThis presentation contains“forward-looking statements”within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933,as amended,and Section

2、21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,as amended,which are intended to be covered by the safe harbor created by such sections and other applicable laws.Where a forward-looking statement expresses or implies an expectation or belief as to future events or results,such expectation or belief is ex

3、pressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis.However,such statements are subject to risks,uncertainties and other factors,which could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed,projected or implied by the forward-looking statements.Forward-looking statem

4、ents often address our expected future business and financial performance and financial condition;and often contain words such as“anticipate,”“intend,”“plan,”“will,”“would,”“estimate,”“expect,”“believe,”“pending,”“proposed”or“potential.”Forward-looking statements in this presentation may include,wit
