resolution are included on the basis of votes cast and therefore exclude
abstentions.
3. The Company had in issue 985,856,695 Ordinary Shares
carrying one vote each, and 2,000,000 5% Cumulative Preference Shares carrying
100 votes each. Accordingly, the total number of votes available was

controlling shareholders was 350,086,090 votes at the Annual General Meeting.

achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, which
apply only as at the date of this report. These forward-looking statements are
based on numerous assumptions regarding the Group's present and future

changes to mining concessions or the imposition of new mining royalties, or
changes to existing mining royalties in the jurisdictions in which the Group
operates; the Group's ability to comply with the extensive body of regulations
governing the mining industry, as well as the need to manage relationships
with local communities; the ongoing effects of the global COVID-19 pandemic;
demand, supply and prices for copper and other long-term commodity price
assumptions (as they materially affect the timing and feasibility of future
projects and developments); trends in the copper mining industry and
conditions of the international copper markets; the effect of currency
exchange rates on commodity prices and operating costs; the availability and
costs associated with mining inputs and labour; operating or technical
difficulties in connection with mining or development activities; risks,

well as the effects of extreme weather conditions; the outcome of any
litigation arbitration, regulatory or administrative proceedings to which the
Group is and may be subject in the future; and actions and activities of
governmental authorities, including changes to laws, regulations or taxation.
Except as required by applicable law, rule or regulation, the Group does not
undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or
otherwise. Past performance cannot be relied on as a guide to future
performance.
