The key assumptions used by the Author for conversion of measured and indicated resources to proven and probable reserves are:
1. Resource tonnage factor 11.4 cubic feet per ton (equivalent to an
average specific gravity of 2.8)
2. Minimum mining width 5 feet horizontal.
3. Mill Call Factor 95%
4. Mill Gold Recovery 93%
5. Gold price US$1200, Canadian$1260 at 1.05 exchange rate.
6. External cut-off grade of 0.13 ounces per ton.
7. Internal cut-off grade 0.10 ounces per ton.
