PART III -- NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR,
or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the
prescribed time period.
Since the end of the registrant's fiscal year of November 30, 1997, several
significant transactions have been completed which are currently being assessed
for their impact on the financial statements and the disclosures included in the
Annual Report on Form 10K. These transactions include an agreement to acquire
certain mineral properties. The registrant is currently assessing the impact of
this and other transactions on its cash flow requirements for the coming
financial year. Furthermore, the registrant is in the process of making
financing arrangements, the outcome of which may impact this assessment. In
order to ensure that certain assets and liabilities are appropriately reflected
in the financial statements, the registrant is delaying the filing of its Annual
Report on Form 10K for the financial year ended November 30, 1997, beyond
February 28, 1998.
