Stock Exchange Prices<br />
The market price of a publicly traded stock is affected by many variables not all of which are directly related<br />
to the success of the Company. In recent years, the securities markets have experienced a high level of price and<br />
volume volatility, and the market price of securities of many companies, particularly those considered to be<br />
development stage companies, has experienced wide fluctuations which have not necessarily been related to the<br />
operating performance, underlying asset values or prospectus of such companies. There can be no assurance that<br />
such fluctuations will not affect the price of <strong>Mirabela</strong>’s securities.<br />
Conflicts of Interest<br />
Certain directors of <strong>Mirabela</strong> are, and may continue to be, involved in the mining and mineral exploration<br />
industry through their direct and indirect participation in corporations, partnership or joint ventures which are<br />
potential competitors of <strong>Mirabela</strong>. Situations may arise in connection with potential acquisitions in investments<br />
where the other interests of these directors may conflict with the interests of <strong>Mirabela</strong>. Directors of <strong>Mirabela</strong><br />
with conflicts of interest will be subject to and will follow the procedures set out in applicable corporate and<br />
securities legislation, regulations, rules and policies.<br />
Use of Inferred Resources in Pit Optimization Study<br />
The pit optimization study referred to in this prospectus and from which the economic analysis of the Santa<br />
Rita Project was derived is preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too<br />
speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be<br />
categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the results described in the study will be realized.<br />
Resource Estimates and Lack of Mineral Reserves<br />
Resource estimates are expressions of judgment based on knowledge, experience and industry practice.<br />
Estimates, which were valid when made, may change significantly upon new information becoming available. In<br />
addition, resource estimates are imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations, which may prove to be<br />
inaccurate. Should the Company encounter mineralization or formations different from those predicted by past<br />
sampling and drilling, resource estimates may have to be adjusted and mining plans may have to be altered in a<br />
way which could have a negative effect on the Company’s operations. The Company does not have any mineral<br />
reserves and there is no assurance that mineral reserves will be established. A mineral resource is not the<br />
equivalent of a commercially mineable orebody or a mineral reserve.<br />
Effecting Service of Process<br />
Most of <strong>Mirabela</strong>’s directors reside outside of Canada. Substantially all of the assets of these persons are<br />
located outside of Canada. It may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within Canada upon<br />
the directors, officers and experts named in this prospectus. It may also not be possible to enforce against<br />
<strong>Mirabela</strong>, certain of its directors and officers, and certain experts named herein, judgments obtained in<br />
Canadian courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of applicable securities laws in Canada.<br />
INTEREST <strong>OF</strong> MANAGEMENT AND OTHERS<br />
IN MATERIAL TRANSACTIONS<br />
Other than as disclosed below and elsewhere in this prospectus, no director, executive officer or<br />
shareholder holding on record or beneficially, directly or indirectly, more than 10% of the issued shares of<br />
<strong>Mirabela</strong>, or any of their respective associates or affiliates has any material interest, direct or indirect, in any<br />
transaction in which <strong>Mirabela</strong> has participated within the three year period prior to the date of this prospectus,<br />
or in any proposed transaction, which has materially affected or will materially affect <strong>Mirabela</strong> other than<br />
as follows:<br />
