Unless otherwise indicated, forward-looking information in this news release reflects our expectations at the date of this news release. Except as may be required by Canadian securities laws, we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information, whether due to new information, future events, or otherwise. Forward looking information, by its very nature, is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties and is based on a number of assumptions. This gives rise to the possibility that actual results could differ materially from the expectations expressed in or implied by such forward-looking information and that our business and sustainability outlook, objectives, plans, strategic priorities and other information that is not historical fact may not be achieved. As a result, we cannot guarantee that any forward-looking information will materialize.
Factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by this forward-looking information include: our ability to attract and retain sufficient female workers to the workforce at the Escondida Mine; our ability to negotiate alternative power supply contracts on satisfactory terms and prices; our ability to take other steps to reduce our absolute GHG emissions; general economic and market conditions and economic and market conditions in the regions where we operate; our ability to raise the capital needed to implement our business plan; and the integrity, reliability and availability of, and benefits from, information technology and the data processed by that technology.
Forward-looking information is provided in this news release for the purpose of giving information about our current expectations and plans and allowing investors and others to get a better understanding of our sustainability efforts. However, readers are cautioned that it may not be appropriate to use such forward-looking information for any other purpose. Forward looking information provided in this news release is based on assumptions that we believed were reasonable on the day the information was given, including but not limited to, about our abilities stated in the preceding paragraph.
Some of the assumptions, risks and other factors which could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking information in this news release are discussed in our current Annual Information Form (AIF) and in our most recent annual and quarterly management’s discussion and analysis (MD&A) for financial risks. We caution readers that any risks described in this news release, or in our MD&A or AIF are not the only ones that could impact us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that are currently deemed to be immaterial may also have a material adverse effect on our activities, business, financial condition, or results of operations.
