The related written presentation referenced during the call is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2.

as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such

Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements.
The written presentation attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 contains and the
conference call included "Forward-Looking Statements" within the meaning of
section 21E of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such
as "may," "should," "expects," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates,"
"schedules," "predicts," "intends," "continue," or the negative of such terms,
or other comparable terminology. All statements regarding: the status of Black
Fox, future production at Black Fox, Apollo's ability of the to continue to
produce gold at the Black Fox mill, Apollo's ability to resolve the Review Event
with the Banks in a satisfactory manner, Apollo's ability to reschedule the
quarterly repayment installments under the Project Facility, to maintain
throughput at the mill of 1,800 tonnes per day, to improve recoveries towards a
target of 95% and to increase mill throughput to 2,000 tonnes per day, all
statements regarding the timing of the mill grade upgrade at Black Fox,
including the commission of the conveyor and high-pressure screening system, the
expansion of the tailing dam management system, the 2009 drilling program at
Grey Fox, future drilling on the Pike River Property, permitting at Huizopa and
Apollo's ability to successfully obtain indicated and measured resource status
are forward-looking statements that involve various risks and
uncertainties. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be
accurate and actual results and future events could differ materially from those
anticipated in such statements. Important factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements include:
difficulties or delays in permitting at Black Fox, results of drilling and other
exploration activities at Huizopa, and other factors disclosed under the heading
"Risk Factors" in Apollo's most recent annual report on Form 10-K filed with the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission and elsewhere in Apollo's
documents filed from time to time with the Toronto Stock Exchange, the NYSE
Amex, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and other regulatory
authorities. All forward-looking statements included in the written presentation
are based on information available to Apollo on the date hereof. Apollo assumes
no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures.
The written presentation attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 contains and the conference call included certain non-GAAP financial measures including the term "total cash cost." The term "total cash cost" is a non-GAAP financial measure and is used on a per ounce of gold basis. Total cash cost is equivalent to direct operating cost as found on Apollo's Consolidated Statements of Operations and includes by-product credits for payable silver, lead, and zinc production. Apollo has included total cash cost information to provide investors with information about the cost structure of Apollo's mining operation. This information differs from measures of performance determined in accordance with GAAP in Canada and in the United States and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. This measure is not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. For a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to Apollo's Statements of Operations, see Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Apollo's most recent annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.
Cautionary Note to United States Investors Concerning Estimates of Mineral Resources.
The written presentation attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 uses and the conference call referenced the term mineral "resources." US investors are advised that while the term is recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the US Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize it. US investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in this category will ever be converted into mineral reserves.
