Note: The PEA does not indicate the economic viability of the mineral resource and is preliminary in nature, includes inferred resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves and that there is no certainty that the PEA will be realized. Mineral resources that are not mined reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. A PEA is deemed to be reliable +/-50% level.
