We believe that the expectations reflected in these statements are reasonable. However, no assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to have been correct. Accordingly, results could differ materially from those set out in the forward-looking statements as a result of, among other factors, price fluctuations; currency fluctuations; loss of market; environmental risks; physical risks; and legislative, fiscal and regulatory developments.
