effect that the Company or management expects a stated condition or result to
occur. Forward-looking statements may be identified by such terms as "believes",

differ materially from those currently anticipated in such statements for many
reasons such as: changes in general economic conditions and conditions in the
financial markets; changes in demand and prices for minerals; litigation,
legislative, environmental and other judicial, regulatory, political and
competitive developments; technological and operational difficulties encountered
in connection with the activities of the Company; and other matters discussed in
