"The proceeds of the issue will provide in excess of US$11 million. Thisis more than we had anticipated due to the favourable movement in the exchangerate between the US Dollar and the Euro and gives us added liquidity.

"At the same time, and at our request, we anticipate that Golden Starwill now agree to a deferment until 2008, on favourable terms, of the paymentsotherwise due to them in regard to the Rosebel Royalty and their subordinatedloan. If we are successful in these negotiations, the deferment will provideadded liquidity to EURO and allow us to better reduce our gold hedge position.We expect we may repay our loan from Macquarie Bank as part of thisre-arrangement of our finances.
