APPENDICES
Appendix 1
Copper equivalent (CuEq) value calculations
•
Assumed commodity prices: Cu US$3.00/lb, Au US$1,700/oz, Mo US$14/lb and Ag US$20/oz.
•
Recoveries are assumed from similar deposits: Cu = 85%, Au = 65%, Ag = 65%, Mo = 80%.
•
CuEq (%) calculated using the following formula: {((Cu% x Cu price 1% per tonne x Cu recovery) + (Au(g/t) x Au price per g/t x Au recovery) + (Mo ppm x Mo price
per g/t x Mo recovery) + Ag ppm x Ag price per g/t x Ag recovery)) / (Cu price 1% per tonne x Cu recovery)}.
•
CuEq (%): Cu (%) + (0.54 x Au (g/t)) + (0.00037 x Mo (ppm)) + (0.0063 x Ag (ppm)).
•
It is the Company’s opinion that all elements included in the metal equivalents have a reasonable potential to be recovered and sold.
