Withoutlimitation, statements regarding potential mineralization and resources,exploration results, and future plans and objectives of the Company areforward looking statements that involve various degrees of risk. The followingare important factors that could cause MAX's actual results to differmaterially from those expressed or implied by such forward looking statements:changes in the world wide price of mineral commodities, general marketconditions, risks inherent in mineral exploration, risks associated withdevelopment, construction and mining operations, the uncertainty of futureprofitability and the uncertainty of access to additional capital.SOURCEMAX Resource Corp.Leonard MacMillan, Corporate Communication, Telephone: (800) 248-1872 or (604)637-2140, , As for Ashley Young, the England-hopeful's ability has appeared to deteriorate this season, especially with his finishing when finding himself in goalscoring positions.James Milner has the ability to find the perfect pass, deliver a brilliant cross, and as he showed with his 20-yard lob on Saturday, finish like no other player in the team.Without Milner, Aston Villa could become a bit like Liverpool, a team who are nothing without their talisman, Steven Gerrard.Apart from the importance of James Milner, Villa also struggle against the big teams.It's all well and good beating a team lower down the table such as Hull City, but bigger Premier League times pose a big problem for Aston Villa.They may have beaten Liverpool 3-2 at Anfield, but the previous weekend's 1-1 annihilation at the mercy of Tottenham Hotspur at home proves exactly why Villa aren't the most capable applicants for that elusive fourth Premier League position.The word "annihilation" is used because Aston Villa were completely subjugated in that match and quite frankly deserved nothing from the game.If they achieve fourth place, the Villans will definitely need to do better against fellow fourth place rivals like Tottenham.And finally, while it may have become rather cliché, Aston Villa's lack of strength in-depth will almost always prove to be a problem in the Villa Park outfit achieving success.So Martin O'Neill may have seen his side beat Hull City 3-0 with quite an impressive performance, but if they don't replicate that type of form against the bigger side, this result will prove nothing..
