If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense

(a) The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of

|X| (b) The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition

PART III - NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q,
10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report portion thereof, could not be filed
within the prescribed time period.
We are not able to file a timely Form 20-F because our financial statements and
audit as at and for the three years ended December 31, 2004 are still in
progress as a result of our and our auditors' conclusion that our joint venture
interests should be consolidated under the equity method of accounting in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States,
rather than under a proportionate method of accounting.
As a result of our financial statement preparation and audit process not being
complete, we are unable to file our Form 20-F by the prescribed filing deadline
without unreasonable effort and expense. We intend to file our Form 20-F no
later than fifteen calendar days following the prescribed due date.
PART IV - OTHER INFORMATION
