including the behavior of financial markets, fluctuations in interest and
exchange rates, commodity and equity prices and the value of financial assets;
the impact of regulation and regulatory, investigative and legal actions;
strategic actions; and numerous other matters of national, regional and global

nature. These factors may cause Nordic Mines' actual future results to be
materially different than those expressed in its forward-looking statements.
