Clarification (November 14, 1994)

In its issue of June 14, 1993, The Northern Miner published an article on the first and second pages under the headline “Gold values elusive at Oregon exploration property.” The article contained references to assays performed by Vortex Industries and other uncertified labs, for Mindoro Mining, Noble Group Metals, Kilo Gold and Focal Resources. It has been pointed out to us that the article might have been read as suggesting that consulting geologist Paul Sawyer was involved in these assays. We wish to state that no such suggestion was intended by The Northern Miner.
