PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT

This presentation contains “forward-looking statements”

within the meaning of Section 27A of the

Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as

amended, that are intended to be covered by the safe harbor created by such sections.  Such

forward-looking statements include, without limitation, (i) estimates of

future gold and other metals

production and sales; (ii) estimates of future costs and consolidated costs applicable to sales; (iii)

estimates of future capital expenditures, expenses and tax rates; (iv) estimates regarding timing of

future production activities; and (v) statements regarding future exploration results.  Where the

Company expresses or implies an expectation or belief as to future events or results, such

expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to

have a reasonable basis.  However,

forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other

factors, which could cause

actual results to differ materially from future results expressed, projected or implied by such forward-

looking statements.  Such risks include, but are not limited to,

gold and other metals price volatility,

currency fluctuations, increased production costs and variances in ore grade or recovery rates from

those assumed in mining plans, political and operational risks in the countries in which we operate,

and governmental regulation and judicial outcomes.  For a more detailed discussion of such risks

and other factors, see the Company’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K,

which is on file with the

Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as the Company’s other SEC filings.

The Company

does not undertake any obligation to release publicly revisions to any

“forward-looking

statement,”

to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this news release, or to reflect the occurrence of

unanticipated events, except as may be required under applicable

securities laws.
