RESTATEMENT IMPACT
During the year ended June 30, 1998, we purchased and capitalized the
Argonaut mineral rights and subsequently amortized their carrying value. On
January 29, 2003, we filed a registration statement on Form F-3 with the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission. In the course of the
registration process, we determined that the appropriate accounting treatment
under US GAAP was to have expensed the cost of the mineral rights on
acquisition, in the year ended June 30, 1998. We continue to be intent on
exploiting the Argonaut mineral rights and applied for a prospecting permit
from the Department of Minerals and Energy on January 22, 2003. To date,
approval of the application is still pending.
The impact of the restatement to reflect the immediate expense on acquisition of
the Argonaut mineral rights during the year ended June 30, 1998 is as follows:
