Unrisked volumes presented are stochastic summations of the volumes of a number of prospects before the application of the risk analysis, and assume that all prospects are successful. The probability of all prospects being successful and of realizing the volumes shown is extremely small. RPS has included in its report an analysis of the geologic probability of success for each prospect and risked stochastic consolidations (totals) of all of the prospects.
** In reclassification of Contingent Resources to Reserves, a reduction of volume may occur due to application of economic limits to the recoverable volumes.
