Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors

The United States Securities and ExchangeCommission permits U.S. mining companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only those mineral deposits that a company can economically and legally extract or produce. We use certain terms on this website (or press release), such as [“measured,” “indicated,” and “inferred,” “resources,”] that the SEC guidelines strictly prohibit U.S. registered companies from including in their filings with the SEC. U.S. Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our Form 20-F, which may be secured from us, or from the SEC’s website at: http://sec.gov/edgar.shtml.
