Item 1.04 Mine Safety --Reporting of Shutdowns and Patterns of Violations.

On January 22, 2012, the U.S. Department of Labor, Mine Safety and Health Administration ("MSHA") issued an imminent danger order to the registrant. The order states that an employee at the registrant's Troy copper and silver mine in northwestern Montana was not tied off with fall protection equipment while working on a bench drill. The citation further alleges that the drop off was not guarded by hand rails or a berm.

No loss time or interruption of production occurred with this order and the mine was not shut down.

Due to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, under section 1503(a) the Company is required to disclose the order as an 8-K item1.04 Mine Safety. MSHA has the authority to issue an imminent danger order under section 107(a) of the Mine Act if an MSHA inspector determines there is an imminent danger in the mine.

The registrant will be contesting this order and believes the conditions in the area in question did not present an imminent danger and therefore was safe for employees to be working in.
