The information in the above release has been prepared by NatGold Digital Ltd. (“NatGold”) using its best efforts to realistically and factually present the information contained herein. However, subjective opinion, reliance on factors outside NatGold’s control, and external information sources unavoidably mean that NatGold cannot warrant the information to be exhaustive, complete, or sufficient. The information regarding the intrinsic value of gold, NatGold valuation calculations, sustainable investment and non-dilutive investment premiums, the minting of NatGold coins, NatGold’s future value, outlook, growth potential, and its plans or intentions regarding a future public listing (collectively, “forward-looking statements”) discusses future expectations, contains projections of future results of operations or financial condition, or states other forward-looking information. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the statements regarding the foregoing information. A variety of risks, uncertainties, and events may cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations and projections described by NatGold in these forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to factors including, but not limited to: changes in operating costs; shifts in economic conditions and industry trends in NatGold’s sector; fluctuations in foreign exchange and financial markets; changes in gold prices and AISC costs; variations in investment levels; litigation; legislation; environmental, judicial, regulatory, political, and competitive developments in the regions where NatGold operates; and technological, mechanical, and operational challenges encountered in connection with NatGold’s development activities. Furthermore, any reference to “certification” concerning a mineral resource does not imply compliance with JORC Code, NI 43-101, or S-K 1300 standards but instead refers to the resource’s certification under NatGold’s tokenization eligibility requirements and subsequent certification as Certified NatGold Resources. While NatGold considers these assumptions reasonable based on currently available information, they may prove incorrect. Actual results may vary from forward-looking statements due to various risks, uncertainties, and unforeseen circumstances.
