Mining Disclosure

The Company’s publications often pertain to gold and mining stocks, which discuss a direct relationship between the price of gold or silver and the stock price of a gold or silver mining stock. We discuss with respect to various issuers that there is a relationship between the price of gold or silver to the stock price of a gold or silver mining stock, i.e. that the higher the price of gold or silver, the higher the price of the stock. You should use extreme caution in adopting any such conclusions, because such statements do not account for any of the following factors:

The stage of mining that the public company is engaged in, i.e. whether they are simply an exploration company and have not entered actual mining operations.
Whether the then current financial condition of the mining company permits such company to have the necessary capital to conduct exploration and/or mining activities.
The need for financing for exploration and/or mining activities and the possible inability to obtain such financing at all or on acceptable terms or that does not cause significant dilution to shareholders’ interests.
Estimates of proven and probable reserves and mineralized material are subject to significant uncertainty, including a determination that the estimated reserves of mineralized material become uneconomical.
Status of the worldwide economy
Development of mineral properties is inherently risky and could lead to unproductive properties and is subject to the ability of the mining operator obtaining the necessary capital investments
Whether additional exploration is required if reserves are not located on already acquired properties, which would negatively impact the financial condition of such gold or silver company or properties or mining operations
Failure to comply with regulatory requirements
Whether the public company is a development stage company
Mining operations are subject to the risks of increasing operating and capital risks that adversely affect results of operations
Potential delays, cost overruns, shortages of material or labor, construction defects

Readers should view statements that state that stock prices will be track gold or silver prices with extreme caution and do their research into the Issuer’s or operator’s financial performance, estimated exploration, extraction and production costs, financial condition, stage of exploration and mining, whether its operations are contingent upon financing. Mining operations are subject to innumerable risks and high rates of failure and create a direct relationship between the price of gold or silver and a gold or silver public company in the absence of other factors is misleading, i.e. stage of exploration or mining, financial condition, all operations contingent on financing, high rate of failure of mining operations.

Accordingly, do not rely upon any claimed relationship between the price of gold and silver and the stock price of a gold and/or silver company, and conduct your own research using reliable sources.

Statements contained in our publications that discuss increases in stock prices of mining stocks over a specified period of time that we do designate reflects an arbitrary period of time and does not take into consideration the inherent and specific risk of mining ventures and possible price volatility of a mining stock. Therefore, these statements should not be relied upon. Do your own research from reliable sources. The foregoing also applies to statements in our publication regarding mining test results and their implications, and references to individuals or entities making significant investments in the companies being profiled. Conduct research from reliable sources, including public reports filed by the mining company with regulatory authorities.

Disclaimer

Many of the securities we profile are considered penny stocks. Penny stocks inherently involve high risk and price volatility. You may lose your entire investment in any penny stock that you invest in. You should be acutely aware of the following information and risks inherent in any penny stock investment that you may make, including any issuer profiled on our websites or otherwise: (a) we receive monetary or securities compensation from persons that claim they are a non-affiliate shareholder or an issuer; however, we conduct no due diligence whatsoever to determine whether in fact they are a non-affiliate; (b) there is an inherent conflict of interest between our information dissemination services involving various issuers and our receipt of compensation from those same issuers; (c) we may buy and sell securities in the securities that we provide information dissemination services, which may cause significant volatility in the issuer’s stock, price declines from our selling activities, permit us to make substantial profits while we are disseminating profiles or information about the issuer, yet may result in a diminished value to the stock for investors; (c) we conduct no due diligence on the content of our Publications; (d) Penny stocks are subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules and subject broker-dealers to customer suitability rules and other requirements, which may lead to low volume in the securities and/or difficulties in selling the shares; (e) penny stocks are often thinly traded or have low trading volume, which may lead to difficulties in selling your securities and extreme price volatility; (f) many of the penny stocks we profile or provide information about are subject to intense competition, extreme regulatory oversight and inadequate financing to pursue their operational plan; (g) the issuer profiles and information we provide is wholly insufficient to formulate an investment decision and should not be used in any way as a basis for making an investment decision and, at the most, it should be used a starting point from which you conduct an in-depth investigation of the issuer from available public sources, such as www.sec.gov, www otcmarkets.com, www.sec.gov, yahoofinance.com, www.google.com and other available public sources as well as consulting with your financial professional, investment adviser, registered representative with a registered securities broker-dealer; (h) we urge you to conduct an in-depth investigation of the issuer from the above or other available sources, especially because we only present positive information, which is an insufficient basis to invest in any stock, yet alone a penny stock; accordingly, you should proceed with such investigation to determine, among other things, information pertaining to the issuer’s financial condition, operations, business model, and risks involved in the issuer’s business; (i) the issuers we profile may have negative signs on the otcmarkets.com website (i.e. Stop Sign, No Information, Limited Information, Caveat Emptor), which you should determine from entering the symbol of the stock profiled into the otcmarkets.com website; (j) you should determine whether the issuer we profile or provide information about is a development stage company, which is subject to the risks of a development stage company in a similar such business, including difficulties in obtaining financing for operations and future growth; (k) because we only present positive information regarding an issuer, ; you should conduct an in-depth investigation of any possible negative factors regarding such issuer; (l) our information is “as is” and you your use of the information is at your own risk and such information may change at any time and it is not based upon any verification or due diligence of the statements made; (m) we state that profiled stocks are consistent with future economic trends; however, future economic trends or analysis has its own limitations, including: (i) due to the complexity of economic analysis as well as the individual financial and operational characteristics of an individual issuer, such economic trends or predictions may amount to nothing more than speculation; (ii) consumers, producers, investors, borrowers, lenders and government may react in unforeseen ways and be affected by behavioral biases; (iii) human and social factors may outweigh future economic trends and predictions that we state may or will occur; (iv) clear cut economic predictions have their limitations in that they do not account for the fundamental uncertainty in economic life, as well as ordinary life; (v) economic trends may be disrupted by sudden jumps, disruptions or other factors that are not accounted for in such economic trends analysis; in other words, past or present data predicting future economic trends may become irrelevant in light of fully new circumstances and situations in which uncertainty becomes reality rather than of predictive economic quality; (vi) if the trends involves a single result, it ignores all other scenarios that may be crucial to make a decision in the event of various contingencies; (n) the information we disseminate about issuers contain forward looking statements, i.e. statements or discussions that constitute predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, estimates, projections as indicated by such words as “expects”, “will”, “anticipates”, “estimates; therefore, you should proceed with extreme caution in relying upon such statements and conduct a full investigation into any such forward looking statements; (o) forward looking statements are limited to the time period in which they are made and we do not undertake to update forward looking statements that may change at any time; and (p) we make statements in our profiles that an issuer’s stock price has increased over a certain period of time; however, these statements only reflects an arbitrary period of time, and is of little or no predictive or analytical quality.

We conform to the following laws in connection with our text messaging: (a) Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) – Part of the FCC regulatory laws governing text marketing and requires businesses to obtain prior express written consent before sending promotional text; (b) CAN-SPAM Act – Applies to unsolicited emails and texts and requires the sender to provide opt-out options and honor such opt out promptly.

In conformity with these acts, we must obtain explicit written consent from our users and prior to opt in procedures we advise that the text message is a “Paid for Stock Promotional Communication. We use the following best practices by the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) that engage in SMS/MMS marketing and mobile communications to ensure compliance with legal requirements and promote positive user experiences. These best practices are voluntary guidelines aimed at protecting consumers and maintaining trust in mobile marketing communications.

Key CTIA Best Practices

Opt-In Requirements
Clear and Informed Consent: Businesses must obtain explicit consent from consumers before sending SMS or MMS messages. This means that users should know exactly what they are opting in to, including the purpose of the messages, message frequency, and any associated costs.

Double Opt-In (Recommended): After the initial opt-in, send a confirmation message to the user asking them to confirm their subscription by responding with a keyword (e.g., “YES”). This ensures that the user truly consents to receive messages.
Opt-Out Mechanism
Easy and Clear Opt-Out Process: Every message should include clear instructions on how the user can opt out of future messages (e.g., by replying “STOP” or “UNSUBSCRIBE”).
Immediate Action: Upon receiving an opt-out request, the sender must immediately stop sending messages to that user. A final confirmation message may be sent to confirm the opt-out, but no further marketing messages should be sent.
Message Transparency
Message Content Disclosure: The initial opt-in request and subsequent messages should clearly inform users of:
The type of messages they will receive (e.g., promotional, informational).
The frequency of the messages (e.g., “You will receive up to [X] messages per month”).
Carrier charges: The disclosure “Msg & data rates may apply” must be included to inform users about potential charges from their mobile carrier.
Message Frequency
Avoid Message Overload: Businesses should adhere to the message frequency disclosed during opt-in. Sending too many messages can lead to higher opt-out rates, user complaints, or potential legal violations. Limit the frequency to what was promised during the opt-in process.
Help and Support Messages
Include a keyword such as “HELP” that users can send to receive more information about the program, message frequency, costs, and how to opt out.
Prohibited Content/No Deceptive or Harmful Content: Messages must not contain misleading, fraudulent, or harmful content, including false promotions or scams.
No Adult Content: Messages with adult content or themes are prohibited unless there is explicit consent and appropriate age verification.
Data Privacy and Security
Protect User Data: Businesses must protect users’ personal information in compliance with data protection laws (e.g., GDPR, CCPA). This includes ensuring data is securely stored and not shared or sold without user consent.
Privacy Policy: Companies must have a clear and accessible privacy policy that explains how user data will be collected, used, and protected.
Age and Content Restrictions
Age Verification: If the content is restricted to a particular age group (e.g., 18+), the business must verify the age of users before allowing them to opt in.
Comply with Industry Guidelines: Companies should follow guidelines related to sensitive content, such as gambling, alcohol, or tobacco, where applicable.
Complaint Resolution
Handle Complaints Promptly: Ensure there is a process in place to address complaints and inquiries from consumers regarding SMS campaigns. Poor complaint management can damage consumer trust and lead to higher opt-out rates.
Platform Compliance
Compliance with Aggregator and Carrier Requirements: SMS/MMS campaigns must comply with the technical and legal requirements set by mobile carriers and messaging platform aggregators. This ensures that the campaigns are compliant with network standards and can be delivered successfully.
Advertising and Promotions
Truthful Advertising: Any advertising or promotions delivered via SMS must be truthful and comply with Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines. Offers should be clear, not misleading, and users should be able to understand any conditions tied to promotions.
Periodic Audits
Monitor and Audit Campaigns: Conduct regular audits of SMS campaigns to ensure they comply with CTIA best practices, legal requirements, and internal policies. This includes reviewing message content, consent records, and opt-out handling.
Short Code Programs
Short Code Registration: If using a dedicated short code for SMS campaigns, it must be registered and approved by carriers. Use of shared short codes is discouraged as it increases the risk of compliance violations due to the actions of other users.
Following CTIA best practices ensures compliance with both legal requirements and industry standards, helps avoid customer dissatisfaction or regulatory issues, and promotes a responsible, user-friendly approach to SMS marketing. These guidelines are designed to build trust and provide transparency, ensuring customers are fully informed and empowered to control their messaging preferences.
