the estimation of mineral reserves and resources, the realization of mineral
reserve estimates, the timing and amount of estimated future production,

factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or
achievements of Silver Wheaton to be materially different from those
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including but not
limited to: fluctuations in the price of silver and gold; the absence of
control over mining operations from which Silver Wheaton purchases silver or
gold and risks related to these mining operations including risks related to
fluctuations in the price of the primary commodities mined at such
operations, actual results of mining and exploration activities, economic and
political risks of the jurisdictions in which the mining operations are
located and changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined;
and differences in the interpretation or application of tax laws and
