Some of the statements contained in this presentation are forward-looking statements, such as estimates and

statements that describe future plans, objectives or goals, including words to the effect that Dolly Varden

Silver Ltd. (the “Company”) implies a stated condition or that it forecasts certain results could occur. Because

forward-looking statements address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent

risks and uncertainties. Actual results relating to, among other things, reserves, resources, results of

exploration, reclamation and other post-closure costs, capital costs and mine production costs could differ

materially from those currently forecast in such statements by reason of factors such as changes in general

economic conditions and conditions in the financial markets, changes in demand and prices for the minerals,

litigation, legislative, environmental and other judicial, regulatory, technological and operational difficulties

encountered in connection with mining activities, labour relations matters, costs and changing foreign

exchange rates. This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect any of forward-looking statements.

These and other factors should be considered carefully and readers should not place undue reliance on the

Company’s statements.
