cost, recoveries, commodity prices and selling cost.
2. Estimate assumes a long term copper price of US$2.90/lb, a gold price of US$1,200/oz and a silver price of US$24/oz.
3. Rounding as required by NI 43-101 reporting guidelines may result in apparent summation differences.
4. Tonnage and grade measurements are in metric units. Contained gold and silver ounces are reported as troy ounces, contained
copper pounds as imperial pounds.
5. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimate of mineral resources
may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, sociopolitical, marketing, or other relevant issues.
6. The quantity and grade of reported inferred mineral resources in this estimation are uncertain in nature and there has been
insufficient exploration to define these inferred mineral resources as indicated or measured mineral resources and it is uncertain if
further exploration will result in upgrading them to indicated or measured mineral resources.
