                                EXPLANATORY NOTE

         This amendment to the Current Report on Form 8-K dated September 13,
2002 (the "Report") amends Item 7 (i) to delete the reference to pro forma
financial information based upon the Company's determination, in consultation
with its accountants, that the acquisition of the Wassa gold mine does not
constitute the acquisition of a business pursuant to Regulation S-X 11-01(d),
and thus that neither financial statements nor pro forma financial information
are required, and (ii) to reference the exhibits previously filed with the
Report.

         This Form 8-K/A constitutes Amendment No. 1 to the Report.
