Website
Disclaimer.

01

Scope of this disclaimer

This disclaimer applies to Website pages, text, images, graphics, maps, downloads, forms, application pathways, external links and other public Website materials. It also applies to general acknowledgements or communications generated from a Website submission unless an authorized document expressly states otherwise.

The Website presents Kikan’s corporate focus, review approach and areas of interest. It is not a data room, trading platform, exchange, marketplace, securities offering, product catalogue, inventory confirmation or transaction execution system.

02

General information—not professional advice

Website information is general and is not legal, regulatory, sanctions, anti-money-laundering, tax, customs, accounting, investment, financial, geological, engineering, environmental, assay, security, insurance, logistics or other professional advice.

Laws, risks and market conditions differ by party, product, source, destination and route and can change without notice. You must obtain independent professional advice and conduct your own assessment before acting.

Nothing on the Website is a recommendation to acquire, dispose of, finance or invest in gold, a mineral property, a company, a security or another asset.

03

No offer, agency, approval or commitment

Only an expressly binding written agreement accepted by authorized parties can create a commercial obligation. The Website does not establish or evidence a partnership, joint venture, fiduciary relationship, brokerage, agency, distributorship, employment or exclusivity arrangement.

04

Gold and precious-metals information

Any reference to gold, doré, bullion, product form, source, quantity, frequency, quality, fineness, purity, weight, assay, hallmark, ownership, custody, title, availability, price, delivery or destination is contextual unless confirmed for a specific transaction through appropriate evidence and authorized documentation.

• A photograph or video does not prove current possession, ownership, location, quantity, identity or quality.
• An assay or laboratory document applies only to the tested sample under its stated conditions and may require independent confirmation.
• A permit, licence, customs record or certificate does not by itself prove identity, authority, title, origin, lawful production, exportability or an unrestricted right to sell.
• A sample may not be representative of a larger lot, future production or delivered material.
• Statements by a supplier, buyer, intermediary or third party are not Kikan guarantees.

Kikan does not guarantee that any product, volume, purity, source, price or delivery schedule described by another person is genuine, available or achievable.

05

Mining and resource opportunities

References to mines, concessions, licences, projects, production, deposits or partnerships do not establish that Kikan owns or controls an interest, that rights are valid or transferable, or that an opportunity is economically, technically, socially, environmentally or legally viable.

No Website statement should be interpreted as a mineral-resource or mineral-reserve estimate, feasibility conclusion, valuation, production forecast or report prepared under a securities-law disclosure standard. Historical production, samples, grades or third-party estimates may not predict future results.

Mining opportunities require independent review of rights, title, geology, engineering, permits, environmental and social conditions, community relationships, security, infrastructure, taxation, financing, sanctions and closure obligations.

06

Due diligence and responsible sourcing

Kikan may describe review, screening, verification, responsible-sourcing or risk-management processes. These processes are risk-based and transaction-specific. They reduce uncertainty but cannot eliminate fraud, document alteration, undisclosed ownership, source substitution, human-rights abuse, conflict exposure, corruption, environmental harm, sanctions risk or other misconduct.

Approval at one stage does not guarantee approval at another. Material changes in party, ownership, source, product, route, jurisdiction, payment or risk may require renewed review, conditions, suspension or disengagement.

07

Market, pricing and currency information

Gold prices, exchange rates, premiums, discounts, taxes, duties, royalties, transport, insurance, refining costs and settlement conditions can change rapidly. Any market reference is illustrative unless a binding agreement states a price and its applicable conditions.

Kikan does not warrant that a Website figure is real-time, complete, independently verified or available to any party. Past market performance, production or pricing does not guarantee future results. Visitors are responsible for independent financial, tax and commercial analysis.

08

Legal and regulatory compliance

Every participant remains responsible for the laws applying to its identity, activity, location and transaction. Depending on the facts, obligations may concern:

• anti-money-laundering, terrorist-financing, identity, beneficial-ownership and transaction reporting;
• Canadian, United Nations and other applicable sanctions, restricted parties and prohibited dealings;
• anti-bribery, corruption, fraud, forced labour, child labour and responsible business conduct;
• mining, trading, dealer, export, import, customs, tax, royalty, currency and foreign-exchange requirements;
• product description, origin, assay, hallmarking, title, custody, transport, insurance and security; and
• environmental, human-rights, labour, community, Indigenous-rights and land-access requirements.

The Website does not establish or prove that Kikan or another party holds a particular licence, registration, reporting-entity status, exemption or regulatory approval. Such status must be confirmed from authoritative records for the relevant activity and date.

09

Maps, images, translations and third parties

Maps and country references are general and do not define borders, legal conclusions, project locations, mineral rights, operating offices, supply commitments or political positions. Images may be illustrative unless their caption expressly identifies the subject and context.

Translations, summaries and accessible alternatives are provided for convenience. If meaning is material, confirm it against the authoritative source and obtain professional interpretation.

External links, logos, names, standards and third-party materials do not imply endorsement, affiliation, partnership or control. Kikan is not responsible for independent content, availability, security, statements or conduct.

10

Forward-looking information

Statements using words such as “may”, “aim”, “plan”, “intend”, “expect”, “seek”, “develop”, “expand”, “potential” or similar expressions may concern future intentions or possibilities. They are not guarantees.

Actual outcomes may differ because of verification findings, counterparties, financing, commodity prices, foreign exchange, geology, permits, sanctions, politics, security, conflict, logistics, community matters, weather, law, technology and other known or unknown risks. Kikan has no duty to update a forward-looking statement except where applicable law requires it.

12

Reliance, availability and liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Website content is provided “as is” and “as available”, without representations, warranties or conditions concerning accuracy, completeness, currency, merchantability, fitness, non-infringement, availability or security.

You assume responsibility for decisions made using Website information. Kikan is not liable for loss arising from reliance on general Website content, independent third-party material, unauthorized communications, service interruption or use contrary to this disclaimer and the Terms of Use, subject always to rights and liabilities that cannot lawfully be excluded.

The detailed Website warranty, liability and indemnity provisions are contained in the Terms of Use.

13

Governing documents and contact

If this disclaimer conflicts with the Terms of Use, the Terms govern Website use. If either conflicts with an authorized transaction-specific agreement, that agreement governs the subject it addresses. Mandatory law prevails in every case.
