teachers and the media  controlled by the church,  environmentalists  (illegible
word) having some influence on the inhabitants,  creating situations that hinder
IMP to do the pending exploration activities for measuring the deposit. This has
caused the suspension of the calculations for the payment schedule period of the
payments for the amount of the rights option,  from July 30 of 2003 but instead,
to carry  out  monthly  payments  in  compensation  for the  delay  during  this
situation. =======================================
Concluding the declaration,  the president placed a vote for the proposal of the
option,  advising of his  approval,  having the best  interest of the company in
mind by passing the situation of force majeure,  after a brief deliberation,  it
