|    | If any person becomes aware of a breach, or suspected
        breach, of this Code, they must report it immediately to their manager
        and company secretary for action. If this is inappropriate or uncomfortable
        for the individual, the breach, or suspected breach, should be reported
        to another member of the senior management team and the company secretary
        for action. No action will be taken against any individual reporting a
        breach, or suspected breach, by virtue of that report. Subject to any
        legal restriction, the name of the person disclosing the information pertaining
        to breach, or suspected breach, of this Code will be kept confidential.

|    | The Sarbanes Oxley Act 2002(USA) encourages
        all corporations subject to SEC regulations to maintain a code of ethics
        covering senior financial officers, including the CEO. The ethical and
        behavioural standards reflected in that Act are the basic tenets of ethical
        and professional conduct adopted by the Company in this Code for all its
        staff and  contractors, and as such apply equally to the CEO and
        CFO, and any other senior finance  staff.
