1) Kevitsa reports Ni and Co in sulphide compounds.
2) Te only in Kankberg.
3) Totals are calculated on precise values and sometimes apparent differences may occur in the totals.
Boliden reports Mineral Resources excluding Mineral Reserves to avoid double counting the same tonnage.
This means quantities converted to Mineral Reserves are deducted from Mineral Resources.
