Disclaimers

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors – The United States Securities and Exchange Commission limits disclosure for U.S. reporting purposes to mineral deposits that a company can economically and legally extract to produce.  We use certain terms on this web site, such as “reserves,” “resources,” “geologic resources,” “proven,” “probable,” “measured,” “indicated,” or “inferred,” which may not be consistent with the reserve definitions established by the SEC.  U.S. investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our Form 20-F, File No. 000-28980.  You can review and obtain copies of these filings from the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml.
