Forward Oriented Information
This
release includes certain statements that may be deemed "forward-looking
statements". All statements in this release, other than statements
of historical facts, including those that announce proposed financings that
the Company expects to complete, are forward-looking statements. Although
Northern Dynasty 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 in the forward-looking statements. Factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking
statements include the failure of investors who are believed to have committed
to the financings to fail to complete them as a result of general market
conditions, adverse developments unique to such investors or otherwise.
Accordingly, the actual amounts raised may differ materially from those
projected in the forward-looking statements. For more information on the
Northern Dynasty, Investors should review the Company's annual Form
on 20F filing with the United States Securities Commission and its home
jurisdiction filings that are available at www.sedar.com.
