The Resources are estimates of recoverable tonnes and grades using Multiple Indicator Kriging with block suppor correction into 25 metres (East) by15 metre (North) by 5 metre (Elevation) model blocks and assuming smallest minin unit for ore selection in mine grade control of 5 metres (East) by 3 metres (North) by 2.5 metres (Elevation).
-
Measured and Indicated resources lie in areas where drilling is available at a maximum of 25 x 25 metre spacing, Inferre resources exist in areas of broader spaced drilling, generally peripheral to the Measured and Indicated panels.

Edna May and Greenfinch Mineral Resource figures are stated at the 31 December, 2010 on an attributable basis, wit depletion by production where relevant.
-
There are no known environmental, permitting, legal, taxation, political or other relevant issues that would materially affec the estimates of the Mineral Resources.
-
