We believe that the significant estimates, assumptions and judgments used in accounting for items and matters such as capitalized mining rights, asset valuations, asset recoverability, asset impairments, taxes and other allowances were reasonable, based on the information available at the time they were manufactured. Actual results could differ from these estimates, making it possible that a change in these estimates could occur in the short term.
