Based on the Company's preliminary enquiries, the yet to be published legislation would have the effect of imposing a levy on EMED Mining of circa EUR20,000 if applied to its bank deposits in a Cypriot bank and creates contingent liability for an additional amount of circa EUR250,000 if it is also applied to a UK bank deposit which the Company administers via the bank's Cyprus branch.
