Terms of Use

This website has been created to provide general corporate information about Empire Mine & Dredge Inc., its technology, business strategy, proposed operations, development activities and potential applications of its proprietary extraction technology.

Information presented on this website is for general informational purposes only.

Nothing contained on this website constitutes legal, financial, investment, tax, geological, engineering or other professional advice.

The website may contain general references to Empire's current or anticipated financing activities, including references to its Seed financing and potential future financing rounds.

Such references are provided as part of the general description of Empire's corporate development and business strategy.

Nothing on this website constitutes an offer to sell, a solicitation of an offer to purchase, or a recommendation to acquire any security of Empire Mine & Dredge Inc.

No securities are being offered or sold through this website.

Any offer or sale of securities by Empire, if made, will be conducted separately and only in accordance with applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and pursuant to appropriate investment and offering documentation.

Any person considering a potential investment in Empire should conduct their own independent investigation and obtain appropriate legal, financial and tax advice.

This website may contain forward-looking statements regarding Empire's anticipated development, technology, commercialisation, operations, production, financing requirements, market opportunities, partnerships and future growth.

Forward-looking statements are based upon management's current expectations, assumptions, estimates and information available at the relevant time.

Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated due to factors including, but not limited to:

• Technical and engineering performance;
• Geological conditions and mineral grades;
• Mineral recovery and production performance;
• Commodity prices;
• Availability and cost of financing;
• Equipment availability and performance;
• Commercial agreements and counterparties;
• Regulatory and permitting requirements;
• Environmental requirements;
• Weather and operating conditions;
• Development and construction timelines;
• Market conditions; and
• Other risks inherent in developing and commercialising mineral extraction technology and operations.

Empire undertakes no obligation to achieve any particular forecast, projection, milestone or anticipated result.

The website may contain general information concerning Empire's anticipated commercial development, potential markets, operating strategy or future financial objectives.

Any forecasts, estimates, projections or other forward-looking financial information are based upon assumptions that may change.

Actual results may differ materially.

No forecast, estimate or projection appearing on this website should be interpreted as a promise or guarantee of future financial performance.

More detailed financial, investment or due-diligence information may be provided separately by Empire to appropriate parties and may be subject to confidentiality requirements and additional disclaimers.

This website may contain geological, mineral, exploration, production and resource-related information derived from historical studies, published information, third-party reports, government sources, internal analysis and other sources.

Geological and mineral information is inherently subject to interpretation, assumptions and uncertainty.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, historical or third-party mineral estimates referenced on this website should not be interpreted as independently verified mineral reserves or resources attributable to Empire.

Production and extraction estimates may depend upon numerous factors, including geology, mineral grade, depth, equipment configuration, recovery performance, site conditions and operating environment.

Actual results may therefore differ materially from estimates or illustrative examples.

Empire is developing proprietary subsurface extraction technology incorporating specialised engineering, extraction, pumping and material-handling methodologies.

Certain aspects of Empire's technology are protected or intended to be protected through intellectual-property rights, including pending patent applications.

References on this website to “patent-pending” indicate that patent protection has been applied for and should not be interpreted as confirmation that a patent has been granted.

Descriptions of the technology are provided for general informational purposes and do not disclose all technical, engineering or proprietary aspects of Empire's systems and methods.

Nothing contained on this website grants any licence or other right to use, reproduce, manufacture, reverse engineer or commercially exploit Empire's technology or intellectual property.

Certain photographs, graphics, diagrams, animations, engineering illustrations, renderings and other imagery appearing on this website may be illustrative, conceptual, representative or digitally created.

Such imagery may be used to explain Empire's technology, proposed equipment configurations, operating environments, extraction methodology or potential commercial applications.

Illustrative imagery should not necessarily be interpreted as a photograph of existing Empire equipment or current commercial operations.

Similarly, diagrams and illustrations may simplify technical or engineering concepts for communication purposes and should not be relied upon as engineering specifications, construction drawings or final equipment designs.

Empire's technology and proposed operating systems remain subject to continuing engineering, development, testing, integration and commercialisation.

Successful testing or demonstration of individual components, prototypes or methods does not guarantee future commercial performance.

Commercial deployment may depend upon further engineering, equipment procurement, financing, regulatory approvals, site-specific conditions, commercial agreements and other factors.

No statement contained on this website should be interpreted as a guarantee that a particular technology, system, project or commercial application will achieve its anticipated performance.

The website may describe potential environmental, operational or efficiency advantages associated with Empire's extraction technology.

Such statements may be based upon engineering principles, testing, modelling, comparisons with conventional extraction methods or anticipated operating characteristics.

Actual environmental impact, efficiency, production capacity and operating performance will depend upon the specific application, geology, equipment configuration and operating conditions.

References to potential environmental benefits should not be interpreted as a guarantee of environmental performance or regulatory approval.

Empire may reference information obtained from third parties, including geological studies, academic research, government information, industry publications, technical reports and commercial counterparties.

While Empire seeks to use sources it considers appropriate and relevant, it does not independently guarantee the completeness or accuracy of all third-party information.

References to third-party organisations, companies, research or projects do not necessarily imply endorsement, partnership, affiliation or commercial relationship unless expressly stated.

The website may refer to existing or proposed relationships with resource owners, operators, suppliers, engineering organisations, technology providers or other commercial parties.

The nature and status of these relationships may vary.

References to discussions, agreements, memoranda, term sheets or other arrangements should not necessarily be interpreted as completed transactions, binding long-term commercial agreements or guarantees of future business unless expressly stated.

Unless otherwise indicated, website content including Empire's name, branding, logos, text, graphics, diagrams, technology descriptions, presentations, photographs, videos, illustrations and other materials is owned by, licensed to or used with permission by Empire Mine & Dredge Inc.
