Palladium Metal Equivalents
Peako has calculated Palladium Equivalent (PdEq) grades in order to reflect the potential contributions of each of the elements palladium, platinum, gold, nickel, copper and cobalt to a resource and assist in providing a concise indication of the potential value of mineralisation at Eastman. Palladium Equivalent (PdEq) calculation represents the total metal value for each metal, multiplied by the conversion factor, summed and expressed in Equivalent Palladium (PdEq) grade.
Given the Eastman Project's stage of development, no metallurgical test work has yet been conducted. However, it is the Company's opinion that all elements included in the metal equivalent calculation (palladium, platinum, gold, nickel, copper and cobalt) have a reasonable potential to be recovered and sold. Based on the similar Panton deposit, located approximately 185km to the north-east, the Company has assumed metallurgical recoveries based on the Panton deposit model.
Metal recoveries used in the palladium equivalent calculations are:
§ Palladium 80%, Platinum 80%, Gold 70%, Nickel 45%, Copper 67.5% and Cobalt 60%
Assumed metal prices used are:
§ Palladium US$1,700/oz, Platinum US$1,300/oz, Gold US$1,700/oz, Nickel US$18,500/t, Copper US$9,000/t and Cobalt US$60,000/t
Metal equivalents were calculated according to the follow formula:
§ PdEq (Palladium Equivalent g/t) = Pd(g/t) +0.76471 x Pt(g/t) +0.875 x Au(g/t) +1.90394 x Ni(%) + 1.38936 x Cu(%) + 8.23 x Co(%)
Peako cautions that while it considers Panton a similar style deposit to Eastman, actual metallurgical recoveries at Eastman may differ from those at Panton. Further, that its opinion that all elements included in the metal equivalent calculation have a reasonable potential of being recovered and sold relies on defining sufficient mineable economic resources.
