Its principal executive offices and principal business address is located at Suite 1600, 1055 Dunsmuir Street, CUSIP No. 780287 10 8 13D Page 7 of 19 Pages P.O.

Subsequent to the filing of Amendment No. 1 to this Statement, Placer Dome U.S. Inc. transferred its ownership interest in Cortez Gold Mines, effective July 7, 1995, to its wholly owned subsidiary, Placer Cortez Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. This Statement is also being filed by Placer Cortez Inc., the principal business of which is gold mining and mineral exploration.

Placer Dome Inc., Placer Dome U.S. Inc., Placer Cortez Inc. and Cortez Gold Mines are sometimes referred to herein collectively as the "Reporting Persons". Information as to the current directors and officers of Placer Dome U.S. Inc., Placer Cortez Inc. and Placer Dome Inc. is set forth respectively in Exhibits B and C, as previously filed, and in Exhibit D, attached hereto. During the past five years, neither Placer Dome Inc., Placer Dome U.S. Inc., Placer Cortez Inc. or Cortez Gold Mines, nor any of their respective directors or executive officers have been convicted in any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), nor have any of them been a party to any civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction, as a result of which any such person or entity was or is subject to any judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws. CUSIP No. 780287 10 8 13D Page 8 of 19 Pages Item 4. Purpose of Transaction. ---------------------- Cortez Gold Mines, on September 18, 1992, acting through its managing co-venturer, Placer Dome U.S. Inc., purchased from the Issuer in a private transaction for investment purposes 500,000 shares of the Common Stock of the Issuer and two warrants: a Class A warrant with the immediately exercisable right to acquire 300,000 shares of the Common Stock of the Issuer at a price of $2.00 per share; and a Class B warrant with the right to acquire 300,000 shares of the Common Stock of the Issuer at a price of $3.00 per share (the "Two Warrants"), for a total consideration of $800,000. In addition, the Class B Warrant was only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain events. The Two Warrants would have expired March 31, 1996, if not exercised prior to that date. The transaction was effected by the execution of a subscription agreement, which was attached as Exhibit D to the Initial Statement (the "Subscription Agreement"). Subsequently, on March 29, 1996, Cortez Gold Mines exercised its right to acquire the 600,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer underlying the Two Warrants, at the price as set forth above, for a total consideration of $1,500,000 to the Issuer. On January 20, 1997, Cortez Gold Mines sold 154,800 shares of the Common Stock of the Issuer through a brokerage transaction on the open market, at a price of $10.50 per share. It is Cortez Gold Mines' intention to sell an additional 35,965 of its shares of the Common Stock of the Issuer from time to time in the open market, not to exceed more than approximately one percent (1%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer within any three-month period. The 600,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer acquired as a result of the exercise CUSIP No. 780287 10 8 13D Page 9 of 19 Pages of the Two Warrants are restricted shares and, therefore, are subject to a two-year holding period, which would not allow their public resale until April 22, 1998. Except as to the above, none of the Reporting Persons, nor any other person named in Item 2 of this Statement, presently has any other plans or proposals which relate to, or would result in, any of the events or transactions contemplated by letter paragraphs (a) through (j) of this Item 4. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer. ------------------------------------ (a) As of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own 635,965 shares of the Common Stock of the Issuer, which represents approximately 4.1% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. None of the directors or executive officers named in Item 2 of this Statement are beneficial owners of the Common Stock of the Issuer. (b) Cortez Gold Mines, acting through Placer Cortez Inc. or through Placer Dome U.S. Inc., as the parent of Placer Cortez Inc., has shared power to vote or to dispose of the 635,965 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. Placer Dome Inc., as the ultimate parent of Placer Dome U.S. Inc. and Placer Cortez Inc., has shared power to direct the vote or disposition of the 635,965 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. (c) Except as set forth in Item 4 hereinabove, none of the Reporting Persons nor any other person named in Item 2 of this Statement has effected any transactions of the Common Stock of the Issuer during the past 60 days. CUSIP No. 780287 10 8 13D Page 10 of 19 Pages (d) As was previously reported, Kennecott Explorations (Australia) Ltd., a Delaware corporation, as a joint venture participant in Cortez Gold Mines, has a 40% interest in Cortez Gold Mines, including the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. As a 40% joint venture participant in Cortez Gold Mines, Kennecott Explorations (Australia) Ltd. appoints two (2) out of five (5) members to the Cortez Gold Mines Management Committee; Placer Dome U.S. Inc. (now Placer Cortez Inc., as successor in interest) appoints three (3) members. Each member is entitled to one vote on issues concerning the joint venture, with most decisions being determined by a majority vote. Kennecott Explorations (Australia) Ltd. and Placer Dome U.S. Inc. (now Placer Cortez Inc.) share pro-rata in all profits and losses. (e) On January 20, 1997, the Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owners of more than five percent of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. Item 7.
