About Terra Nova Royalty Corporation

Terra Nova Royalty Corporation is active in the mineral royalty and natural resources industry.

Due to the nature of its interest in the Wabush iron ore mine, the Company has no or very limited access to geological and other technical data respecting the mine. Previous disclosures by the Company respecting reserves at the mine were based solely on information publicly disclosed by the operator of the mine. Such geological data has not been independently verified by the Company or any independent expert engaged by it nor has such information been the subject of a technical report under Canadian National Instrument 43-101. As a result, the Company can provide no assurances as to the level of reserves at the mine. If such reserves are insufficient to economically operate the mine, the owner could determine to scale back or cease to operate the mine which could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
