--->sources may not be classified as a "reserve" unless the determination has been made that mineralization could be econo
--->mically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is made.  Accordingly, information in 
--->this press release containing descriptions of the Company's mineral properties may not be comparable to similar inform
--->ation made public by US public reporting companies.
