Falun Resources
Block modelling/ initial resource estimate completed
- Upper portion of the Eastern Zone (0m to 150m RL)
Inferred Resource of 580,000 tonnes* at 2.4 g/t gold, 0.6% copper, 3.4 g/t silver, 210 g/t bismuth and 40 g/t selenium for 44,000oz of gold, 3,500t copper, 63,000oz silver, 270,000lbs of bismuth and 54,000lbs (cut-off grade of 0.7 g/t gold)
-
- Lower portion of the Eastern Zone ( 150m to 280m RL) Exploration Target of between 500,000 and 800,000 tonnes* of copper ore with a grade of between 0.4 and 0.6% copper and between 0.2 and 0.3 g/t gold (cut-off grade of 0.3% copper)
==> picture [279 x 191] intentionally omitted <==
- Western Zone (0m to 220m RL)
Exploration Target of between 1.4 million and 2 million tonnes* of copper ore with a grade of between 0.5 and 0.8% copper (cutoff grade of 0.3% copper)
Exploration Targets will be converted to resources with additional drilling
Scope to expand resources considerably with deeper drilling
- All Inferred Resources and exploration targets are reported in accordance with the JORC Code (2004). The exploration target has been identified from historical drilling data, old mine records and limited recent drilling and is reported under the guidelines of Clause 18 of the JORC Code (2004). It should be noted that this exploration target is conceptual in nature and should not be taken or construed as a Mineral Resource or Ore Reserve. There has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource

Next at Falun Project
-
Continued consultation with major stakeholders (Stora Kopparberg Foundation, Stora Enso, government)
-
Scoping for underground refurbishment to allow underground drilling on -95m RL and -145m RL levels
