| Mineral Resource |
A Mineral Resource
is a concentration or occurrence of material of economic
interest in or on the earth?s crust in such form,
quality and quantity that there are reasonable and
realistic prospects for eventual economic extraction.
The location, quantity, grade, continuity and
other geological characteristics of a Mineral Resource
are known, estimated from specific geological
evidence and knowledge, or interpreted from a well-constrained
and portrayed geological model. Mineral Resources
are sub-divided, in order of increasing geological
confidence, into Inferred, Indicated and Measured
categories. The Mineral Resources are inclusive
of those resources which have been modified to produce
Mineral Reserves. |

| Mineral Reserve |
A Mineral Reserve
is the economically mineable material derived from
a Measured and/or Indicated Mineral Resource. It
is inclusive of diluting materials and allows for
losses that may occur when the material is mined.
Appropriate assessments, which may include feasibility
studies, have been carried out, including consideration
of, and modification by, realistically assumed
mining, metallurgical, economic, marketing, legal,
environmental, social and governmental factors. These
assessments demonstrate at the time of reporting that
extraction is reasonably justified. Mineral Reserves
are sub-divided in order of increasing confidence
into Probable Mineral Reserves and Proved Mineral
Reserves. |
