|
Certain information contained in this Site, including any information as to the Corporation's future financial or operating performance, is forward-looking and subject to important risk factors and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Corporation's ability to control or predict. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based on a number of estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. Known and unknown factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others: gold price volatility; impact of any hedging activities, including margin limits and margin calls; discrepancies between actual and estimated production, between actual and estimated reserves and resources and between actual and estimated metallurgical recoveries; changes in national and local government legislation, taxation, controls, regulations and political or economic developments in South Africa or other countries in which the Corporation does or may carry on business in the future; risks of sovereign investment; the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development, including the risks of obtaining necessary licenses and permits; dilution; competition; loss of key employees; additional funding requirements; and defective title to mineral claims or property. In addition, there are risks and hazards associated with the business of mineral exploration, development and mining, including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, unusual or unexpected formations, pressures, cave-ins, flooding and gold bullion losses (and the risk of inadequate insurance or inability to obtain insurance, to cover these risks), as well as the factors described or referred to in reports publicly filed by the Corporation that can be found in the Investor Relations section of this Site. Readers are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. All of the forward-looking statements contained on this Site are qualified by these cautionary statements. The Corporation expressly disclaims any intent or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, events or otherwise. |
