Safe Harbour Statement

Certain  statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact,
may  constitute "forward-looking statements" and are made pursuant to applicable
and  relevant national legislation (including the Safe-Harbour provisions of the
United  States Private  Securities Litigation  Reform Act  of 1995) in countries
where  Crew is  conducting business  and/or investor  relations. Forward-looking
statements,  include,  but  are  not  limited  to  those with respect to (1) the
expected availability of the SAG mills at LEFA, (2) the political environment in
Guinea,  (3) future operations at LEFA,  (4) the expected reduction in corporate
costs,  (5) the effect of discontinued  operations on Crew's ongoing operations,
(6)  expected expenditures at LEFA, (7) the expected future capacity and success
of  the  LEFA  mine  and  its  expansion potential, (8) government regulation of
mining   operations,  and  (9)  the  price  of  gold.  Often,  but  not  always,
forward-looking  statements  can  be  identified  by  the  use  of words such as
"plans",  "expects",  "does  not  expect",  "is  expected", "targets", "budget",
"estimates",  "forecasts", "intends", "anticipates" or "does not anticipate", or
"believes",  or equivalents or variation,  including negative variation, of such
words  and phrases,  or state  that certain  actions, events  or results, "may",
"could", "would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved.

Forward-looking  statements involve  known and  unknown risks, uncertainties and
other  factors  that  could  cause  the  actual  results  of  the  Company to be
materially  different from  the historical  results or  from any  future results
expressed  or  implied  by  such  forward-looking  statements.  Such  risks  and
uncertainties   include,  among  others,  (1)  the  actual  results  of  current
exploration  activities, (2) conclusions of economic evaluations, (3) changes in
project  parameters as plans continue to  be refined, (4) possible variations in
grade  and ore densities or  recovery rates, (5) failure  of plant, equipment or
processes  to operate as  anticipated, (6) accidents,  labour disputes and other
risks  of the mining  industry, (7) delays  in obtaining government approvals or
financing or in completion of development or construction activities, (8) actual
cash  flow and capital expenditure  requirements being greater than anticipated,
and  (9) risks  and uncertainties  existing in  world capital markets generally.
Although  Crew  has  attempted  to  identify  important factors that could cause
actual  events  or  results  to  differ  from those described in forward-looking
statements  contained herein, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking
statements  will prove to be accurate as  actual results and future events could
differ materially from those anticipated in such statements.

The  material factors and assumptions used to develop forward-looking statements
which  may be  incorrect, include,  but are  not limited  to, (1) there being no
significant disruptions affecting operations, whether due to labour disruptions,
supply disruptions, damage to equipment or otherwise, (2) continued development,
operation  and production at LEFA consistent  with our current expectations, (3)
foreign  exchange rates  among the  currencies the  Crew does  business in being
approximately  consistent with current levels, (4) certain price assumptions for
gold,  (5) prices  for electricity,  fuel oil  and other  key supplies remaining
consistent  with current levels, (6)  production forecasts meeting expectations,
(7)  the accuracy of our current mineral reserve and mineral resource estimates,
(8)  materials and  labour costs  increasing on  a basis  consistent with Crew's
expectations, and (9) the actions of the government of Guinea.

Except  as may be required  by applicable law or  stock exchange regulation, the
Company  undertakes no obligation to update publicly or release any revisions to
these  forward-looking statements to  reflect events or  circumstances after the
date  of this  document or  to reflect  the occurrence  of unanticipated events.
Accordingly,   readers  should  not  place  undue  reliance  on  forward-looking
statements.

Cautionary  Note to  US investors  - The  United States  Securities and Exchange
Commission  permits  US  mining  companies,  in  their  filings with the SEC, to
disclose only those mineral deposits that a company can economically and legally
extract  or produce. We use certain terms  in this document, such as "measured",
"indicated",  and  "inferred"  "resources",  which  the  SEC guidelines strictly
prohibit  US registered companies from including  in their filings with the SEC.
