Bowdens Mineral Resource Estimate completed by MPR Geological Consultants. First reported under JORC Code 2004 in November 2012, and re-reported in October 2013 to be compliant with JORC2012 guidelines. Refer to Kingsgate Consolidated Ltd press-release dated 18[th] of October, 2013 for full JORC2012 details and tables. Totals may vary due to rounding. Also refer to the Silver Mines Limited announcement of 3[rd] March 2016.
[1] The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information received since the original disclosure (KCN announcement 18/10/2013) or data that materially affects the information included in this table. The Company confirms that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the mineral resource estimates continue to apply and have not materially changed.
[2] Bowdens’ silver equivalent: Ag Eq (g/t) = Ag(g/t) + 27.5 x Pb(%) +22.8 x Zn (%) calculated from prices of US$26.33/oz Ag, US$2206/t Pb, US$2111//t Zn and NSR metallurgical recoveries of 72% Ag, 75% Pb, and 66% Zn estimated from test work by Kingsgate. NSR or net smelter return metallurgical recovery is defined as the payable metal recovered after allowing for smelter deductions, which includes deductions for precious metals.
[3] In the Company’s opinion, the silver, lead and zinc included in the metal equivalent calculations have a reasonable potential to be recovered.
