[[Slide Forty-Four]] CAUTIONARY STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT. This document contains forward looking statements that are based on management's expectations and assumptions. They include statements preceded by the words "believe," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "will," and similar expressions, and estimates of reserves, future production and mine life, cost per ounce, reclamation and remediation costs, dates of construction completion, costs of capital projects and commencement of operations, exploration costs, and taxes. Actual results may differ materially from expectations. Among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the following. Reserve estimation is an interpretive process based on drilling results and past experience as well as estimates of ore characteristics and mining dilution, prices, costs of mining and processing, capital expenditures and many other factors. Actual quality and characteristics or ore deposits cannot be known until ore is actually mined. Reserves change over time to reflect actual experience. Grades of ore processed at any time may also vary from reserve estimates due to geologic variations within areas mined. Production and mine lives may vary from estimates for particular properties and for the Company as a whole because of changes in reserves, variation in ore mined from estimated grade and metallurgical characteristics, unexpected ground conditions, mining dilution, labor actions, and government restrictions. Cash costs may vary due to changes from reserve and production estimates, unexpected mining conditions, and changes in estimated costs of equipment, supplies, utilities, labor costs and exchange rates. Noncash cost estimates, based on total capital costs and reserve estimates, change based on actual amounts of unamortized capital and changes in reserves. Cost saving estimates are based on expected ability to eliminate duplicative expenses, anticipated reduction in administrative facilities and relocation of certain personnel. Actual cost savings may be lower than estimated and realization of savings may be lower than expected.
