Correction (September 29, 2003)

In our story “Flow-through funds jump-start juniors” (T.N.M., Sept. 15/03), we said the permitted time period for exploration companies to spend flow-through funds ends in January 2004. That information was outdated.

Changes in the tax regime mean flow-through shares can be bought until the end of December 2004, and the funds raised in flow-through placements must be spent by the end of December 2005.
