Mr John Willson reports
Placer Dome has settled a dispute with the government of Kazakhstan arising from
an April 1995 agreement for exploration and development of the Vasilkovskoye
gold deposit under which Placer Dome paid the government a refundable US$35
million deposit. The government today made a cash payment in the amount of
US$25 million to Placer Dome under a settlement agreement in which the parties
set aside all further claims against each other.
Because the initial payment by Placer Dome was fully expensed in 1995,
substantially all of the payment will be reflected in earnings in the fourth quarter.
Placer Dome is pleased to have resolved the differences and to have recovered
most of its exploration expense payment from 1995. Now the company can
resume building a mutually beneficial relationship with the Kazakhstan government.
Placer Dome remains interested in the geological potential of Kazakhstan.
