Cautionary Note Regarding Estimates of
Resources
Readers are cautioned that mineral resources are not economic
mineral reserves and that the economic viability of resources that
are not mineral reserves has not been demonstrated. The estimate of
mineral resources may be materially affected by geology,
environmental, permitting, legal, title, socio-political, marketing
or other relevant issues. The mineral resource estimate is
classified in accordance with the Canadian Institute of Mining,
Metallurgy and Petroleum's "2014 CIM Definition Standards on
Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves" incorporated by reference
into NI 43-101. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral
resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility
studies or economic studies except for Preliminary Economic
Assessment as defined under NI 43-101. Readers are cautioned not to
assume that further work on the stated resources will lead to
mineral reserves that can be mined economically. An Inferred
Mineral Resource as defined by the CIM Standing Committee is "that
part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity and grade or quality
are estimated on the basis of limited geological evidence and
sampling. Geological evidence is sufficient to imply but not verify
geological and grade or quality continuity. An Inferred Mineral
Resource has a lower level of confidence than that applying to an
Indicated Mineral Resource and must not be converted to a Mineral
Reserve. It is reasonably expected that the majority of Inferred
Mineral Resources could be upgraded to Indicated Mineral Resources
with continued exploration."
