("Cambior") filed a Schedule 13G (the "Original Schedule 13G") pursuant to Rule 13d-1(c) in connection with its ownership of common shares (the "Common Shares") of Aurizon Mines Ltd. (the "Company"). Cambior amended the Original Schedule 13G on February 6, 2004 (as so amended, the "Schedule 13G").

Cambior is an international gold producer with operations, development projects and exploration activities throughout the Americas.

The name, citizenship, present principal occupation or employment and business address of each director and executive officer of Cambior is set forth in Schedule A attached hereto.

Neither Cambior nor any of its executive officers or directors has, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), or been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgement, decree, or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting, or mandating activities subject to, Federal or State securities laws or a finding of any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Cambior acquired all of the Common Shares more than 60 days prior to filing this Schedule 13D, with cash from its working capital.
