EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment on Form 6-K/A is being furnished to amend the Form 6-K furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 15, 2017 (the “Original Form 6-K”), in order to correct two typographical errors. The first error was in the line item “Total Attributable Capital Expenditures” in the table on the top of page 7 of Exhibit 99.1 to the Original Form 6-K. Total Attributable Capital Expenditures for the fourth quarter of 2016 was $357 million, not $1,357 million as set forth in the table. The second error was in the line item “Average grade (grams/tonne)” in the table on the top of page 60 of Exhibit 99.1 to the Original Form 6-K. The percentage change from 2015 to 2016 was null, not negative two percent as set forth in the table. Except as amended in this Form 6-K/A, the Original Form 6-K remains as originally furnished.

INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE

This report on Form 6-K/A is hereby incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-206417) filed with the SEC on August 14, 2015.
