Pacific Rim Mining Corp. - General Conditions

The following are important notices for all investors regarding the information contained on this website. Please read these Cautionary Notes carefully and thoroughly.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain information set forth on this website includes forward-looking statements. By their nature, forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond Pacific Rim's control, including but not limited to: the execution and outcome of current or future exploration activities; the results of economic and environmental studies; market reaction to future exploration results; the Company's anticipated strategies for growth; statements of the Minita deposit's economic potential; information included in the Minita pre-feasibility study such as capital and operating costs, projected production summaries, gold and silver prices and financial analysis; anticipated drilling and resource estimation plans for the South Minita gold zone; significant changes in metal prices; currency fluctuations; increases in production costs; differences in recovery rates from those expected; potential disruptions to residual leaching activities; general market and industry conditions; and other factors detailed in the Company's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

Readers are cautioned that the assumptions used in the preparation of such information, although considered reasonable at the time of preparation, may prove to be imprecise and, as such, undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements. Pacific Rim Mining Corp.'s actual results, programs and financial position could differ materially from those expressed in or implied by these forward-looking statements, and accordingly, no assurance can be given that the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements will transpire or occur, or if any of them do so, what benefits Pacific Rim will derive therefrom.

Cautionary Note Regarding the Minita Pre-feasibility Study

The Minita pre-feasibility study was prepared to broadly quantify the Minita deposit's capital and operating cost parameters, and to further the development of the El Dorado gold project. It was not prepared for use as a valuation of the Minita deposit, nor should it be considered to be a final feasibility study. The information contained in the Minita pre-feasibility study reflects various technical and economic conditions at the time of writing. These conditions can change significantly over relatively short periods of time. The achievability of life of mine plans, budgets and forecasts are inherently uncertain. There can be no assurance that the potential results contained in the Minita pre-feasibility study will be realized. Readers are cautioned that the assumptions used in the preparation of the Minita pre-feasibility study, although considered reasonable at the time of preparation, may prove to be imprecise and, as such, undue reliance should not be placed on them.

Cautionary Note to US Investors

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission permits U.S. mining companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only those mineral deposits that a company can economically and legally extract or produce. We use certain terms on thi website such as "measured," "indicated," and "inferred" "resources" that the SEC guidelines strictly prohibit U.S. registered companies from including in their filings with the SEC. U.S. Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our Form 20-F, File No. 001-31328, which may be secured from us or from the SEC's website at www.sec.gov/edgar/shtml.

This website may also contain information about adjacent properties on which we have no right to explore or mine. We advise US investors that the SEC's mining guidelines strictly prohibit information of this type in documents filed with the SEC. US investors are cautioned that mineral deposits on adjacent properties are not indicative of mineral deposits on our properties.
