-
A mineral resource is defined as a concentration or occurrence of material of economic interest in or on the Earth’s crust in such form, grade or quality, and quantity, that there are reasonable prospects for economic extraction.
-
The mineral resource applies a reasonable prospect of economic extraction with the following assumptions: • Gold price of US$2,000/oz • 5% royalty on recovered ounces • Pit slope angle of 50o • Mining cost of US$1.65/t
-
Processing cost for RPM US$9.80/t and Korbel US$5.23/t (inclusive of ore sorting for Korbel) • Combined processing recoveries of 88.20% for RPM and 75.94% for Korbel • General and Administrative Cost of US$1.30/t
-
Tonnages and grades are rounded to two significant figures and ounces are rounded to 1,000 ounces, subject to rounding
