It is understood that, without limitation, the foregoing definition of Mine includes the potential mine at Norwich Park, Queensland, the coal deposit near Craig, Colorado, and the uranium deposit in the Green Mountain area of Wyoming. Schedule D-1 previously delivered by Utah to GE accurately sets forth with respect to each of the Mines revenues, costs and expenses, profit and cash flow for each of the last four fiscal years. Schedule D previously delivered by Utah to GE accurately sets forth information with respect to other mineral interests (other than oil and gas interests) of Utah or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates which are not part of a Mine and which consist of all mineral properties where drilling programs have been substantially completed and where the results indicate the presence of commercial mineral bearing deposits whether or not markets have been established for such deposits (such drilled mineral properties being "Mining Areas") comparable, to the extent available to Utah, to that included in the preliminary Joint Proxy Statement with respect to Mines. Schedule D accurately indicates the scope of areas or interests not owned or leased by, or otherwise available as of right to, Utah or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates which are located within the confines of the Mines or Mining Areas, sets forth the approximate acreage of each of the Mines and Mining Areas, except to the extent such information is set forth in the preliminary Joint Proxy Statement, and shows all mortgages, production payments or other burdens imposed upon any of the Mines or Mining Areas. Neither Utah nor any of its subsidiaries or affiliates owns any royalties, over-riding royalties or other mineral interests (other than oil and gas interests) which are material to the entity which owns any such mineral interest except for those set forth in Schedule D. Except as set forth in the preliminary Joint Proxy Statement or such Schedule D, Utah and its subsidiaries and affiliates have all water rights and other ancillary rights necessary to support the operations of, and the sales and dispositions of production from, the Mines. All estimates of mineral reserves, mineral interests and similar matters contained in the preliminary Joint Proxy Statement or Schedule D have been prepared in accordance with accepted engineering or mining practices by persons qualified to make such estimates. 7. Oil and Gas Properties. The preliminary Joint Proxy Statement accurately sets forth for the fiscal years 1971 through 1975 the number of gross and net producing oil and gas wells in which Utah or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates had an interest and information with respect to production before and after production payments for each of such fiscal years. Schedule D previously delivered by Utah to GE accurately sets forth the proved oil and gas reserves of Utah and its subsidiaries and affiliates listed by company and identifying the state, province and country of location whether owned, leased or otherwise available to it as of right and shows all mortgages, production payments or other burdens imposed thereon. Neither Utah nor any of its subsidiaries or affiliates owns any royalties, over-riding royalties or other presently producing oil and gas interests which are material to the entity which owns any such presently producing oil or gas interests except for those set forth in Schedule D. Except as set forth on such Schedule D, Utah and its subsidiaries and affiliates have all ancillary rights necessary to support the operations of, and the sales and dispositions from, presently producing oil and gas properties and oil and gas properties reasonably contemplated to be drilled. All estimates of oil and gas reserves, oil and gas interests and similar matters contained in the preliminary Joint Proxy Statement or Schedule D have been prepared in accordance with accepted engineering practices by persons qualified to make such estimates. 8.
