Tenement applications and license renewal

The Company cannot guarantee additional applications for tenements made by the Company will ultimately be granted, in whole or in part. Further the Company cannot guarantee that renewals of valid tenements will be granted on a timely basis, or at all. The Company has yet to receive regulatory and environmental approval to convert its exploration licences into production concessions. There is a risk that these approvals may not be obtained. Two of the Company’s mining properties are subject to applications for extension, being E08/2209 and E08/2210.

4.3 Section 6.4(a)

Section 6.4(a) is amended as follows:

Additional requirements for capital

Additional funding may be required in the event exploration costs exceed the Company’s estimates and to effectively implement its business and operations plans in the future, to take advantage of opportunities for acquisitions, joint ventures or other business opportunities, and to meet any unanticipated liabilities or expenses which the Company may incur, additional financing will be required.

The Company may seek to raise further funds through equity or debt financing, joint ventures, production sharing arrangements or other means. Failure to obtain sufficient financing for the Company’s activities and future projects may result in delay and indefinite postponement of exploration, development or production on the Company’s properties or even loss of a property interest. There can be no assurance that additional finance will be available when needed or, if available, the terms of the financing might not be favourable to the Company and might involve substantial dilution to Shareholders.
