Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	The trustees of the Mildred B. Horejsi Trust (the "Mildred Trust") are Alaska Trust Company ("Alaska Trust"), Susan L. Ciciora and Brian Sippy. Such trustees may be deemed to control the Mildred Trust and may be deemed to possess indirect beneficial ownership of the Shares held by the Mildred Trust. However, none of the trustees, acting alone, can vote or exercise dispositive authority over Shares held by the Mildred Trust. Accordingly, Alaska Trust, Ms. Ciciora and Mr. Sippy disclaim beneficial ownership of the Shares beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by the Mildred Trust. In addition to serving as a trustee, Ms. Ciciora is also a beneficiary of the Mildred Trust. As a result of his advisory role with the Mildred Trust, Stewart R. Horejsi may be deemed to have indirect beneficial ownership of the Shares directly beneficially owned by the Mildred Trust. However, Mr. Horejsi disclaims such beneficial ownership of the Shares directly beneficially held by the Mildred Trust.
(2)	Trusts affiliated with the Mildred Trust, including the Lola Brown Trust No. 1B, the Susan L. Ciciora Trust, and the Stewart R. Horejsi Trust No. 2, own an aggregate of 10,761,393 Shares of the Fund following these transactions.
