Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Information

Certain information in this news release is "forward-looking information"
within the meaning of applicable Canadian Securities legislation and is
prospective in nature, including information regarding the completion of the
Arrangement and the timing thereof. Forward-looking information is not based on
historical facts, but rather on current expectations and projections about
future events, and is therefore subject to risks and uncertainties which could
cause actual results to differ materially from the future results expressed or
implied by the forward-looking information. This information generally can be
identified by the use of forward-looking words such as "may", "should", "will",
"could", "intend", "estimate", "plan", "anticipate", "expect", "believe" or
"continue", or the negative thereof or similar variations. In particular, any
statements regarding Caracal's future expectations, beliefs, goals or prospects
are or involve forward-looking information.

Forward-looking information is also necessarily based upon a number of
assumptions that, while considered reasonable by management, are inherently
subject to significant business, economic, regulatory and competitive
uncertainties and contingencies. Caracal cautions the reader that such
forward-looking information involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and
other factors that could cause actual results, performance or achievements of
Caracal to differ materially from any future results, performance or
achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking information. In
addition to general economic conditions, there are specific risks, including
but not limited to, the possibility that all conditions precedent to the
Arrangement may not be satisfied or waived prior to the agreed upon outside
date to complete the Arrangement and the parties' ability to satisfy the
conditions to the completion of the Arrangement, including that the necessary
regulatory approvals may not be obtained on the terms expected or on the
anticipated schedule. Caracal believes the material factors, expectations and
assumptions reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, but no
assurance can be given that these factors, expectations and assumptions will
prove to be correct.

Undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements contained
herein, which are made as of the date hereof and, except as required by law,
Caracal undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise. The forward-looking statements contained herein are
expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.
