Caution on Forward Looking Statements<br />

Caution on Forward-Looking Information<br />

‣ This presentation contains “forward-looking information”, within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation and United States securities laws. Forwardlooking<br />

information includes, but is not limited to, information with respect to the proposed business combination between <strong>Geoinformatics</strong> and <strong>Rimfire</strong> and matters relating<br />

thereto as well as information with respect to exploration results, potential mineralization, mineral resources and future plans and objectives. Generally, forward-looking<br />

information can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "plans", "expects", or "does not expect", "is expected", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates",<br />

"forecasts", "intends", "anticipates", or "does not anticipate", or "believes" or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results<br />

"may", "could", "would", "might", or "will be taken", "occur", or "be achieved". Forward-looking information is based on the opinions and estimates of management at the<br />

date the information is made, and is based on a number of assumptions and subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events<br />

or results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking information. Assumptions upon which such forward-looking information is based include, without<br />

limitation, that the shareholders of <strong>Geoinformatics</strong> and <strong>Rimfire</strong> will approve the transaction, that all required third party, court, regulatory and governmental approvals to<br />

the transaction will be obtained and all other conditions to completion of the transaction will be satisfied or waived. Many of these assumptions are based on factors and<br />

events that are not within the control of <strong>Geoinformatics</strong> and <strong>Rimfire</strong> and there is no assurance they will prove to be correct. Factors that could cause actual results to vary<br />

materially from results anticipated by such forward-looking information include changes in market conditions, variations in ore grade or recovery rates, risks relating to<br />

international operations, the availability and costs of future financing, changes in metal prices and currency exchange rates, government regulation, dependence on key<br />

personnel and employee relations, changes in project parameters, actual results of current exploration activities, the possibility of project cost overruns or unanticipated<br />

costs and expenses, environmental risks, labour disputes and other risks of the mining industry, failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated, the<br />

business of the companies not being integrated successfully or such integration proving more difficult, time consuming or costly than expected as well as those risk factors<br />

discussed in <strong>Geoinformatics</strong>‟ management discussion and analysis for the period ended March 31, 2009 and <strong>Rimfire</strong>‟s annual information form on Form 20-F for the year<br />

ended January 31, 2009, available at www.sedar.com. Although <strong>Geoinformatics</strong> and <strong>Rimfire</strong> attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events<br />

or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be anticipated,<br />

estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially<br />

from those anticipated in such information. <strong>Geoinformatics</strong> and <strong>Rimfire</strong> undertake no obligation to update forward-looking information if circumstances or management's<br />

estimates or opinions should change except as required by applicable securities laws. The reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking information.<br />

CAUTIONARY NOTE TO UNITED STATES INVESTORS CONCERNING ESTIMATES OF MEASURED, INDICATED AND INFERRED RESOURCES<br />

‣ This presentation uses the terms “Measured”, “Indicated” and “Inferred” resources. United States investors are advised that while such terms are recognized and required<br />

by Canadian regulations, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize them. “Inferred Mineral Resources” have a great amount of<br />

uncertainty as to their existence, and as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource will ever be<br />

upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of Inferred Mineral Resources may not form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies. United<br />

States investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of Measured or Indicated Mineral resources will ever be converted into Mineral Reserves.<br />

United States investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable.<br />
