or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
(Attach extra sheets if needed).
On April 23, 1998, the Registrant announced that, together with
its auditors Deloitte & Touche, it had determined that its financial
statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997, previously filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") in its
Annual Report on Form 10-K, did not properly reflect the results of
transactions in the Registrant's copper operations. The Registrant and
Deloitte & Touche completed their examination of this matter on May 14,
1998, after which time the Registrant filed its amended Form 10-K with the
Commission. Given that such examination was not completed until the day
before the due date of the Registrant's Report on Form 10-Q for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 (the "Form 10-Q"), the Form 10-Q could not be
filed on May 15, 1998 without unreasonable effort. As indicated in Part II,
above, the Form 10-Q will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day
following the prescribed due date.

narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the
reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
